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.

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.

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." .

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.

ington state Monday ana Tuesday.
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.

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.

By EDWIN N. JOHNSON .
SEATTLE Johnny Guenthcr,
blond, freckle-faced and only 18,
has been making quite a name

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

And as far as Johnny is con
