15 Starters
Listed for
Preakness
Ealtimore W The prob
able field for the Preakness
Staked at old Pimlico a week
from Saturday is approach
ing record proportions.
The list of potential starters
reached 15 this week when
Lincoln Road and Nour
eddin were made supplemen
tal nominees for the second
Triple Crown classic at a cost
of 57,500 each.
Fifteen starters in this
year's preakness would boost
the gross purse to $136,950,
with a net of .$101,950 going
to the winner, both record
figures for the historic Mary
land event.
The top Preakness field
was 18 starters in 1928 when
Victoria won. There were 15
entries in 1924 when Nellie
Morse, a filly, walked off with
the black-eyed Susans.
Jet's Alibi Lame
Trainer Ivan Parke arrived
at Pimlico from Kentucky
with three Preakness candi
dates, but immediately dis
patched one Jet's Alibi to
New York.
"Jet's Alibi is still a little
lame and there is no chance
of his making the Preakness,"
said Parke. "Liberty Ruler
will run in the'Withers SJakes
at Belmont Monday and if he
does well he will run back'1
in the Preakness with Jewel's
Reward and Ebony Pearl."
The possible starters:
Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn;

By OSCAR FRALEY
New York (IP) Connie
Mack, one of the inventors
of the game, once estimated
that pitching is 60 per cent of
baseball.
This placed pitching and
defense under one category
and left 40 per cent to at
tack. Which means that in
the old gentleman's active
mind, pitching had a 20 per
cent bulge on hitting in thel
matter of winning ball games.
All of which is being proved
once again this season.
The proof is being posted
by such gentlemen as Stan
Musial and Mickey Vernon
along with their clubs, the
Cardinals and Indians, as well
as such assorted teams as the
Yankees, Cubs and Senators.
Consider first the Cardin
als. Musial is batting a blister
ing .529 a mere .143 points
ahead of his closest competi
tor and is hitting as if he
intends to wrap up the Na
tional league batting title by
Memorial Day.
Pitchers lo Blame
Yet his Cardinals are about
to drop through the bottom
of the National league with a
record, as of Thursday, of 14
losses in 17 games. The an
swer is in the records of the
Cardinal throwers. In the 14
games they lost, the "pitch
ers" gave up an average of
12 hits and seven runs a game.
Not a pitcher has gone the
distance and in the three
games won by the miracle of
Musial's bat they gave up 33
hits or an average of 11 per
game.
The Cubs are the surprise
team of the early season, right
up there in the unfamiliar
heights when they figured to
be doormats. The answer
again is in the pitching. Chi
cago's hurlers have held the
opposition to an average of
three runs a game and an av
erage of seven hits to post
those startling triumphs.
Vernon is leading American
league hitters, with a .400
mark and yet the Indians are
playing no better than .500
ball. The pitching figures con
tain, the answer. In the losses,
they gave up an average of 10
hits per game arid in the vic
tories cut that down to an
average of six hits.
Yankees Roll On
Meanwhile, the Yankees gq
right on rolling along and the
the answer isn't strictly pow
er. The Yanks have built up
a long-time reputation as pow
er hitters since the days of
murderers' row but, hidden
beneath the hitting hoopla,
they always have solid pitch
ing and a smooth-working de
fense. This season their pitch
ers have gone the distance six
times in 14 victories while the
surprising A's and Senators
Tourist travel in Israel in
creased between 1956 and
1957 by 56 per cent during
the month of September. '

each has received five route
going performances.
If you still give power the
edge, take a look at the Bos
ton Red Sox as well as the
1947 Giants and 1956 Redlegs.
The Red Sox have seen Ted
Williams win five batting
titles. Yet their only pennant
in recent times came vhen
Williams didn't bat at the top
but curried the ball for a
mere .312 average. They won
it when Tex Hughson and Boo,
Ferriss had 20-pl'us seasons
and Mace Brown was great
in relief.
The Giants set a major
league record of 221 homers
in 1947 and" finished fourth.
The Redlegs tied that mark
in 1956 and finished third.
