HILL GAIL TRIUMPHS
IN KENTUCKY DERBY
Louisville, Ky. (U.R) Calu
met Farm's Hill Gail, a barrel
chested beauty from the Blue
Grass with lasting speed to burn,
roared to a record-smashing tri
umph in the 78th Kentucky
Derby Saturday as 110,000
frenzied fans cheered his dash
Into the turf's hall of fame.
Off on top in his bid to re
write the record books, the dark
bay son of Bull Lea took the lead
as they left the gate, relinquished
It and then under the urging of
little Eddie Arcaro blasted out

on top and won despite the fran
tic finishing drive of Dixiana
Farm's Sub Fleet.
It was a day for the books,
under a perfect blue sky and
over a lightning fast track, as
the Calumet colt covered the
mile and a quarter distance in
2:01 3-5 seconds, just one-fifth
of a second off the track record
hung up by his stablemate,
Whirlaway in 1841.
Sth For Calumat
For this was a record fifth
win for Calumet as Hill Gail,
who returned $4.20, $4.00 and
$3.20, pounded down that final,
stretch of light tan track, and it
meant that he had beaten the
bugaboo which bested a great
stable of a former era that of
Col. E. R. Bradley.
And there were two other
records at stake as, six lengths
on top when they turned for
home, he started racing through
the tunnel of screams. It seemed
a question of whether he might
be caught by the onrushing Sub
Fleet. But Hill Gail hung gamely
on, with Arcaro flailing away up
there on his neck, to finish two
lengths on top.
So Arcaro, the swarthy little
man from Cincinnati, racked up
his record fifth win in the Rose
run breaking his own mark
and gave a record sixth win to
Trainer Ben Jones.

Five Dodgers
Among Loop
Bat Leaders
New York (U.R) The
Brooklyn Dodgers' fast start in
the National League race this
season can be attributed to their
re-found batting power, official
statistics have revealed.
Five members of the Dodgers'
"hit parade" are found in the
National League's leading hit
ters, including Jackie Robinson,
who took over the league leader
ship during the past week.
Robinson had boasted 14 hits
in 33 times at bat, including
afternoon games of Thursday,
May 1. That gave the slugging
second baseman an average of
.412.
But Robinson wasn't doing all
the hitting for the Flatbush
crew. Third baseman Billy Cox
was winging along with a .377
average, right fielder Carl Furil
lo had a .366 mark, catcher Roy
Campanclla was hitting .349 and
center fielder Duke Snider
rounded out the league's "big
10" with a .340 mark.
Rookie Toby Atwcll of the
Chicago Cubs was Robinson's
closest rival with an impressive
.387 average, while teammate
Frankie Baumholtz was close
behind at .386. Other leading
hitters were Walker Cooper of
the Braves, .378: Ted Kluszewski
of the Reds, .370, and Red Scho
endienst of the Cardinals, last
week's leader, .340.
In the American League, out
fielder Edmer Valo of Jhe Phila
delphia Athletics was the sur
prise leader with 16 hits in 39
appearances for a .410 average.
Gerry Coleman left the New
York Yankees for the Marine
Corps with a .405 average, while
Floyd Baker of the Washington
Senators, Pat Mullin of Detroit
and Ed Stewart of the Chicago
White Sox tied for third at .385.
Rounding out the American
League's top 10 were Frank
Campos of the Senators, .381.
Hector Rodriguex of the White
Sox, 375; Vern Stephens of the
Red Sox, .355; Marty Marion of
the Browns and Al Rosen of the
Indians, both .348.
Bob Cain of the St. Louis
Browns was the American
League's best pitcher with a
record of three victories in his
first three starts. Gerry Staley
of the Cardinals topped the Na
tional League hurlers with a
4-0 record.
