Needles is favored to win the 82nd Kentucky Derby. Wide-Open Roses Romp May Result Louisville, Ky. (U.R) The most wide-open Kentucky Derby in years may result in the names of 18 horses passing through the box today when entries for Sat urday's running of the classic are closed. The size of the starting field has fluctuated all week. Train ers have hemmed and hawed about whether they actually would name their colts for the 82nd and richest running of the Derby at a fee of $250 each. It will cost another $1,250 to start The actual starting field for the mile and one-quarter golden, gallop may not be known until final scratch time, 45 minutes before the 5:30 p.m. (EDT) post time Saturday.

(U.R) Cary Middlecoff, who's compil ed the season's largest money packet among the golf pros by finishing "up close," led the 54 player field into the opening round of the S25.000 Colonial National Invitation tournament today as tht favorite. The tall Tennesseean turned Texan was the 8-5 choice over four-times Colonial champion Ben Hogtn even before the rains came this week to turn the us ually plush 7,100-yard Colonial course into a spongy layout of golfing horrors. Hogan, who is still looking for some tournament in which he can claim five championships he has won several of them includ ing Colonial four times, will be a major threat to Middlecoff's favorite role if he can find a puttei that will work for him. would not go in the mud.

Cougars Club Ducks 10-4 48 Players Take Part In Marathon Hassle; Giants Nip Cubs 6-5 By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Bill Rigney was hired to re place Leo Durocher as manager of the New York Giants but it looks like he's out to replace Casey Stengel as the "master manipulator of the major leagues." Rigney, who's a rookie pilot and therefore figures to improve with experience, did a job even Stengel would have been proud of Wednesday in guiding the Gi ants to a 6-5, 17-inning marathon victory over the Chicago Cubs. When it was all over, there were two new major league records set, one new National League mark and still another NL mark equalled. The 25 players used by Rigney wiped out the old record of 24 players used by one team in a game. Manager Stan Hack threw 23 Cubs into the fray, thereby enabling the two teams to set another mark of 48 players em ployed. In addition, Rigney tied a Na tional League mark by using eight pitchers and Cub third baseman Don Hoak earned the dubious distinction of setting still another mark by striking out six times. The five-hour and 13-minute contest fell just short of the major league mark of 5:19 set in a 20-inning struggle be tween Boston and Brooklyn in 1940. Spencer Is Hero Hero of the weird battle was second-baseman . Daryl Spencer, who blasted a homer, triple and two singles in the "early in nings" and finally sent the 2,389 fans home to their cold suppers by delivering a sacrifice fly with the bases filled and one out in the 17th. 5U Dark doubled with one out to start the rally and Willie Mays and Dusty Rhodes were walked to set up a chance for an inning-ending double play. Rookie Joe Margoneri, seventh New York pitcher, got credit for the win although he gave way to Ruben Gomez in the 17th when he yielded a double to Clyde Mc L-utlough with two out and worked the count to 2-1 on Hoak. The count mounted to 3-2 before Gomez fanned Hoak for the last out. The victory was the third in a row for the Giants and the loss the seventh straight for the Cubs. The Cincinnati Redlegs, con tinuing a slugging binge in which they've hit 27 homers in 13 games this season, walloped five Wednesday night to jolt the Brooklyn Dodgers, 10-6. It was the sixth straight win for the Redlegs and the fourth straight defeat for the stumbling world champions. Gus Bell hit a pair of two-run homers to lead Cincinnati's at tack and Wally Post, George Crowe and Ray Jablonski also Eugene (U.R) Washington State jumped on a trio of Ore gon pitchers for 16 hits here homered. It was No. 8 for Post yesterday afternoon and a 10-4 who leads both majors and has win over its nearest rival for I hit six in his last five games. the Northern Division baseball leadership. The win set the Cougars firm ly in the league's top spot with an unblemished record of seven straight wins going into today's game with the Ducks. The game was a standoff through the early innings, both clubs picxing up two runs in the first and adding one in the second.. It still was a 3-3 ballgame go ing into the sixth when the Cougars drove Duck starter Don Lane from the hill. WSC scored four runs in the inning on four hits, a walk and an Oreg.Hi error. Mo Winters led the attack with a triple. Duke Snider, Roy Campanella and Sandy Amoros homered for the Dodgers. A total of 41 players saw ac tion as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-9, in a 10-inning night game. Alex Grammas' safe bunt squeezed across the winning run in the last of the 10th. Stan Musial hit his second grand slam of the sea son for the Redbirds, who went back into first place. Frank Lary's three-hitter led the Detroit Tigers to an 8-1 de cision over the New York Yan kees and Tom Brewer turned in a three-hitter as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 2-0, in the only Amer ican League games. Al Kaline, Harvey Kuenn and Bill Tuttle had three hits each to lead the Tigers' 15-hit attack on three New York pitchers. Mickey Mantle hit his sixth homer. Jackie Jensen singled home the Red Sox' first run in the first inning and Mickey Vernon doubled home another in the fifth. STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE By United Press W. L. Pet.

IBC Secretary Put on Hot Seat New York (U.R) Another fiery burst of cross-questions at boxing big wig Truman Gibson was expected to conclude the International Boxing club's anti monopoly trial in federal district court today. Gibson of Chicago, the IBC's executive secretary and last de fense witness, found himself on the hot seat Wednesday as the government's penetrating and prolonged cross - questioning stretched the trial into another day. Warmest Moment The warmest moment of Gib son's ordeal came when Asst. U.S. Dist. Atty. Lawrence Goch berg produced a memorandum accusing Joe Louis of asking SI 00,000 "under-the-table" from Mike Jacobs before considering a title defense in 1949. Gochberg flaunted the memor andum triumphantly before Gib son's eyes as a "memory re fresher" to prove that Gibson had been present at the Jacobs Louis meeting in December, 1948; whereas the IBC secretary . had maintained he never talked boxing to Jacobs until after mid May, 194.9. About 100,000 to 125,000 acres in North Dakota will be planted this spring to four recently de veloped varieties of 15B rust resistandurum wheat. GET SET TO GO!
