t MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Oregon, Tuesday, April 8, 1958 Su livan Trainer -Says Silky Most Relaxed obi Race Track Br HAL WOOD United Press Spoits Writer Albany, Calif. IF The big chestnut glamor horse, Silky Sullivan, was leaning against the wall in his stall, mooching carrots and sugar lumps from the passers-by. He looked about as ready to run as any plow horse. "Don't let that fool you," said trainer Reggie Cornell. "He's relaxed only until he gets onto the race track. This is a. running horse. "But around the stable he's as friendly as an old shoe." Silky was standing there with his eyes half closed. A groom was putting wrappings around his legs. Soon a black smith came by to look at the' shoes. Silky looked him over, then went back to dozing. The blacksmith pulled the far away back leg across Silky's Dupas Tops Fuentes In 1 0-Round Tif New Orleans (IP) Ralph Dupas, ranking lightweight contender aiming for a title bout with lightweight cham pion Joe Brown in Houston, Tex., May 7, slammed his way to a unanimous decision Mon day night over Ramon Fuen tes jof Los Angeles in a scheduled 10-round bout. The two judges and the ref eree called it lopsided fight, giving Dupas nine, eight and seven rounds. Dupas shook Fuentes re peatedly with a sharp right cross. His best rounds were the fourth and fifth, when he cmroH heavily with both hands. Fuentes, a welter, ame out strong in the first rounds, and Lakers in Air Over Franchise, Royals To Stay New York (IB The Cin cinnati Royals will stay in Cincinnati, but now another franchise in the .National Bas ketball Association the Minneapolis Lakers is up in the air. That was the NBA situa tion today following a mara thon meeting of the league's Board of Governors here. The meeting, which started at 8 p.m. (EST) Monday night and went on into the early hours today, produced these devel opments. 1. The governors approved the sale of the Royals fran chise to a group headed by Tom Grace, executive vice president of the Cincinnati Gardens, which intends to keep the team in that city. 2. The board rejected ef forts by Norman Shapiro of Rochester, N.Y., to purchase the Royals and move them back to that city. 3. After settling the Roy als' fate, the board met again to "discuss" the Minneapolis situation amid reports that box office failure had doomed theMuture of the Lakers in that city. A group headed by St. Louis Cardinals' shortstop and manager Marty Marion is reported interested in buy ing the Lakers and moving them to Cleveland. opened a cut over Dupas' left eye in the second. Trie blood seemed to bother Dupas until his seconds stopped the flow after the round.

He has given his followers more exciting mo ments than any horse in re cent years. His worshippers are like a cult. He can do no wrong. Even if he is 50 lengths behind the leaders as he sometimes is, they still have faith that he'll win and most of the time he does, if the distance is a mile or more. Least Excited When he gets to Churchill Downs next week to start prepping for the Kentucky Derby, he'll be the least ex cited animal and this includes humans in Louisville. He loves cameramen and the flash of lights doesn't even cause him to flicker an eyelid. He loves to nuzzle the cameras. And if you ever give him a carrot or a lump of sugar, he'll pester you to death every time he sees you. Standing a full hand higher than the average horse, he weighs 1,200 'pounds - about 200 more than most thorough breds. He is deep through the chest. "And he's well-muscled all over," says Cornell. "But there is nothing in his breed ing lines to indicate that he should be a come-from-behind horse or one with such re markable running strength and staying powers for the last half mile of a race. We've trained him as any other horse in our stable. But I think he's the best horse I've ever trained. Any Rider "He can win with any rider, four different jockeys have won with him and he can win on any kind of a track. He's kind of a don't-care fel low. We've never tried to hurry him at the start of a race, but I doubt that he'd sulk even if we did. "And we never, have to worry about the possibility that he might not feel like running on a given day. He's always the same." Phil Klipstein and Tom Ross, Silky's owners, are sup posed to have bad hearts. But Ross denies this. "I'm as sound as a dollar," says Ross. "I had a stroke in a plane some .time ago be cause we took the plane too high without oxygen. I don't have a bad heart." It's just as well. But if there are any persons with a bad heart history planning to at tend the Derby, we can tell them now: Either stay away or don't look. Especially if you have a bet on Silky. He specializes in heart-stopper finishes. Win or lose.

TYREE United Press Sports Writer Los Angeles OPV-Charlie Dumas, the University of Cal ifornia sophomore who holds the official world high jump record, isn't cocky but hopes some day to clear seven feet, five inches. Dumas set the world stan dard of 7 feet, J2 inches in the summer of 1956 and. went on to set an Olympic record of 6 feet, HVi inches during the 1956 games. Yuri Stepan ov of Russia cleared 7 feet 1.2 inches last year but that leap hasn't been recognized yet because he used a special type of shoe on his take-off foot to provide more spring. Mental Hazards? Will Dumas try to surpass S t e p a n o v's . unrecognized mark? Are there mental haz ards when the cross - bar is placed at seven feet or higher? "Well, I always try to dot my best," the good-natured 20-year-old said as he dipped j in a muscle stretching exer-l cise that he thinks is better ; than jumping every day. j "This kind of training helps me get my body up where 1 1 want it," he said, twisting al most in two. "I haven't any particular aim. I just jump. But I've worked two .inches higher every year siiice I started jumping in theninth grade. "I hope I can get up around 7 feet, 5 inches. I don't think there's any barrier." . Then, without any warm up, Dumas cleared a bar set well above his own six-one height. He was almost as cas ual about his preparations when he surprised the track world by clearing seven feet. "I'm ready," was all he said No Special Shoe Neither Dumas nor his coach, Jess Mortensen, are considering using the kind of special shoe which has en abled Stepanov and several other Russians to make sev eral outstanding high jumps. Until the shoe is recog nized, we won't use it," Mor tensen said. But he and Dumas are cer tain Charlie could go higher with such an aid. "No telling where Charlie might go," Mortensen said. "He's one of those once-in-a-blue-moon natural athletes, similar to Parry O'Brien in the shotput. Dumas says he likes plenty of fans in the' stands when he competes because "they make me want to try harder."
