Ring King's Going to Find Out If He's Good By GOERGE BOWEN I BALTIMORE I Hing King, a Raggedy Ann little colt even to the trainer who made him what ever racehorse he is, typifies en tries being made today for Satur day's Preakness in the face of knowledge that the formidable Correlation and Hasty Road al ready are down to start. Trainer Tommy Kelly is full of 'doubt that Ring King belongs in such a high-caliber race as the $100,000 middle leg of the triple crown. But there's only one way to find out for certain and that's to try, admits. ' This is the attitude of almost all the others who will pay $500 tuday to enter. This is the first time in recent history of the Preakness that horses have been entered before the regular opening of the entry box on the day before the race. Scratch time for the race is S p.m. Friday. Robert S. Lytle, owner of Cor relation, and Allie Reubens, owner of Hasty Road entered their fa vorites yesterday. So did Howard A. Jones with For Free and Sunny Blue Farm's Admiral Porter. Still expected to dare to come in besides Ring King are Maine Chance Farm's Jet Action, Wala- mac Farm s Hasseyampa, Wood- vale Farm's Goyamo, Joe W. Brown's Gigantic and maybe T. A. Sears' Nirgal Lad and E. M. O'Brien's Gaidar. Some of the enticement is that Go Ahead and Advises Week 1 By SKIP ALEXANDER (Written for AP Newsfeatures) If you're a good enough golfer to play in important tournaments, learn never to over-estimate your opposition. Don't waste shots try ing to pull off impossible ones in an effort to catch the player ahead of you. If you're just a club golfer or a week-end player, go ahead and take, a few chances; try the im possible shots. I'd never advise an ordinary club golfer to try to play it smart like a pro. I wouldn't want to de prive him of the pleasure - of gambling. That's where he gets his fun. A week-end golfer only remem bers his good shots, not the bad ones. If he's out there with a creek 200 yards in front of him, a wood club automatically comes it of the bag. lie remembers the one. time he did carry the creek. "Vith a tournament player it's different. He has to figure out what's going to be the best for him in the long run. In the Masters last year I was in a position like that on the 15th hole. I was two under par at the time. I had just knocked the ball down in front of the green and then chipped up, I could have made my par and finished with a good score. Instead I tried a wood, didn't hit it quite right and went into the water. Before I got out I ma an eight for the hole. Vou can bet I'll never try a wood there again. There are a good many ami tcurs who play nlmost as goid golf as t'-e pros, but tl-ey haven't learne" to wa?te a shot now and then v.ea it is nrrc-'inry. They get into trouble and they try to get ot ri"M away. Fast Track and .MilfvMigh Air For Ves Santce BOULDER, Colo. Wi A fast track, oredicted temperatures in the middle 80s and thin, mile high air form the setting Friday for Wcs S-ntce's bid for a world's record in the half-mile run. Tha Vancac ctr' ASCMllt On Mai UrhitfinlH'e mark nf 1 minute .48.6 seconds is the big a'.tract'or in the preliminaries of the 2mh annual Big Seven track and field cham- n nnshiDS at UMoraao s roisom after the first prize of around $90,000 there is $25,000 for second, $15,000 for third and $7,500 for fourth. Mrs. Ada L. Rice put up the equivalent of fourth prize mon ey just to make Ring King eligi ble and pays another $1,000 to en ter and start. It all seemed worthwhile after trainer Kelly suddenbly began making Ring King tick. Last year, Ring King failed to face because he had a funny leg action that sug gested knee trouble. Kelly, a 35-year-old native of Pikesville, Md., became trainer for the Rices last November. In Jan uary, they sent him Ring King in Florida and told him, "Either make him run or break him down." "I did what the boss told me, relates Kelly. "I made him run. Every time the colt went on the race track I had the exercise boy carry a stick. At first nothing appeared to re sult. Ring King ran three times and failed to win. Then he came north to Laurel and won three straight, including two stakes, the Cherry Blossom and Chesapeake. He ran for the first time since March 27 in the Preakness Prep on Monday and finished third be hind Correlation and Hasty noaa, Rine King still throws his legs around instead of striding forward straight so "that he looks like he s criDDled." Kelly said. "I never saw a horse like him." . Gamble, Pro - end Golfers 4 P 5T; SKIP ALEXANDER Ore nf the : hardest things young pros have to learn when they come on the. circuit is that on'c bogey doesn't kill you. They take one and start to gamble try ing to get that stroke back. If they play it smart, many times they'll find that after a bogey on one hole, they'll birdie the next bec.-use they bear down a little more. The weekend goller is differ ent. Usually he doesn't have the judgment of distance or what he can do to decide what is smart o wbat would be best for him. So let him take chances and got sum fun out of golf.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Northern Division baseball teams opened the final weekend of the 1954 campaign Friday and most of the pressure was on the Oregon Ducks. . Oregon State held a one-game bulge going into the last two con- tests with Oregon and a Friday victory would put the league title out of the reach of the Ducks, An Oregon win, however, would tie the teams on top the stand ings and leave the championship to be settled in the finale Satur day. It also would leave the door open for Washington to creep in- to tie the Ducks for the crown, still mathematical possibility. The Huskies have four games left, two with Idaho and two with Washing ton State. They could deadlock the race, but that would require a sweep of the games at Moscow and Full- man plus a double victory by Ore gon. At stake in the weekend com petition, beside the league title, is a berth in the Far West NCAA playoff May 29-31. The winner will compete against Southern Califor nia, the Southern Division winner, and Seattle University- and Fresno State, two at-large teams, for berth in the national NCAA finals at Omaha, Neb.

Behind Gridder's 'Nix' SEATTLE tfl Arnie Wein- meister says he tried to end his playing days with the New York Giants professional football team because he wants to be with his wife and three small daughters. And they dislike living in New York hotels, the towering tackle testified in Superior Court Wednes day. Weinmeister. former University of Washington ace who has been a mainstay of the Giants in the Na tional Football League for several seasons, was in court in connec tion with the suit brought by the Giants who want him in the lineup again this season. Weinmeister signed with the Vancouver, B.C., 'Lions as player and coach at the end of the 1953 NFL season. But the Giants con tend they hold an option which gives them prior right to Wein meister's services. Weinmeister testified that before signing with Vancouver he had a talk with Wellington T. ,Mara, sec retary of the Giants. He said they agreed 1953 would be his last season in New York because of the family problem. Later, he said, he received a letter from Mara ad vising him the Giants would find a replacement this year.

SEATTLE Johnny Guenthcr, blond, freckle-faced and only 18, has been making quite a name for himself in PacilicNorthwest bowling circles, The shy West Seattle high school graduate got interested in bowling when he took a job as a pin setter in his neighborhood bowling alley in 1951. Since then, his well controlled curve ball has been steadily building up laurels., Johnny started in the junior league here and built his average up to 192. He developed so fast he was drafted into major league competition this season and now rolls with the Full-Play team In Seattle's two top leagues. '.' The youngster raised many an old timer's eyebrow last Febru ary when he rolled an 809 series the highest mark ever-to be set in Pacific Northwest league play. He had scores of 232, 287 and 290 in bettering the 801 mark set several years ago by Pete Gattaninl, veteran Seattle bowl er. Johnny's miss In the 290 game came as he missed the 10 pin in the first frame. - He spared on FISH FERTILIZER CLARK BROS.

He was initiated into the "700 Club? by Gattanini after the phe nomenal 809 series. And imme diately after the initiation, young oueniher scored a 739 total his first over the 700 mark aside from the 80S. ' The pressure o rolling In the , national Americas Bowling Con gress tourney here put its mark on johnny s scoring, however.

But as Joe Razore. local bowl ing alley owner, puts it: "There's no mistaking it,, Th kid's got it. He's a good bowler. All he needs is. a little mare sea soning." ; And as far as Johnny is con cerned, he'll gel that seasoning. He plans to continue bowling as otten as he can.
