nationwide lead on the near

of Saticoy, Calif.-who led the
field at Little Rock, Ark.,
with 67-67-134.
Disaster Area for Som

who stopped off on their tour
of the circuit to compete in
the Little Rock section.

John McMullin of Fair Oaks,
Calif., were among five beat

Authorities
Investigate
Tampering
New York - lUPI) - Reports
that Venetian Way, the Ken
tucky Derby champion who
flopped in the Preakness,
might have been the victim of
tampering are under investi
gation by the Thoroughbred
Racing Protective bureau.
'We ire invest 1 g a 1 1 n g
thoroughly and will try to run
down all those rumors about
Venetian Way," said Spencer
Drayton, former FBI agent
who heads the TRPB.
There were reports that
Venetian Way might have
been treated with butazolldln,
pain-killing drug which is
banned in Maryland but not
in Kentucky. However, train
er Vic Sovinski denied after
the Derby that Venetian Way
was sore or required any
special drugs.
Willie Hartack, the Jockey
who rode Venetian Way to a
first-place finish in the Derby
and fifth in the Preakness,
said after the latter that some
thing was wrong . with the
coll.
'It has nothing to do with
the trainer or the track con
ditions either," said Hartack.

Black Tornado Has Hit
.310 in Regular Season
New York -flTIi- They even
threw the Dcmpsey Tunncy
"battle of the long count" into
the promotional hopper today
to hypo the ticket sales for
the heavyweight return be
tween Ingemar Johansson and
Floyd Patterson.
Patterson's newest mouth
piece, Joe Louis, said that
Floyd would object to having
Ruby Goldstein as the third
man in the ring when they go
at it in the Polo Grounds on
June 20. The Brown Bomber
charged that Ruby "lost con
trol" tlv last time and didn t
make lngo go to a neutral
corner.
Ruby Just laughed.
Makes Good Publicity
You can't blame him for as
serting that he "can't believe
Joe really means it." Or for
adding that "there's a possi
bility it makes good pub
licity." Because Ruby has officiated
at some 30 chamoionshin
bouts, as well as hundreds of
others as a third man since
1942. So saying he can't of
ficiate is like insinuating
Esther Williams can't swim
and who cars, with such scen
ery; that Eddie Arcaro can't
ride so he can't, on favorites;
or that Oscar of the Waldorf
can't cook and who goes to
the Waldorf to cat?

Polaris Having
Guidance Trouble
Cape Canaveral, Fla.-IUPD-The
Navy's Polaris missile fi
nally made a successful take
off from I ship at sea-but it
apparently still is having
tome guidance troubles.
The Observation Island, a
merchant vessel converted
into a laboratory ship, launch
ed the 28-foot missile from
about 30 miles off the coast
of Cape Canaveral Monday.
Sources said the launching,
from a tube aunk in the deck
of the ship, went as expected
and that the missile traveled
its "expected range," estimat
ed at nearly 1.000 miles,
across the Atlantic.
However, the Navy said
"final appraisal" of the test
"must await detailed analysis
of data."
It was learned that some
parts of the test, notably In
the guidance, did not go is
expected.
You might just as well say
that Patterson can t fight. Or
that if Ruby lost control, it
sccnii quite certain that lnuo 1
found it.
But. with Patterson'! gold
en - tongued manage r, C'us I
D'Amato, currently working
under conversational wraps, i
somebody has to carry the
build-up ball. So Jue did a
right good job of it.
Few More Seconds
"In that first fight," opined
Joe, 'Goldstein didn't make
Johansson go to a neutral
corner after each knockdown.
That would have given Floyd
a few more seconds to gather
himself. And after the first
knockdown, Floyd still wa.i
turped the other way when
Johansson hit him a foul
punch behind the car.
"Goldstein isn't too small to
handle them," Joe added. "He
just got too excited over a
fast knockdown and wasn't
capable of handling the situ
ation. This next time figures
to be the same kind of thing,
with a lot of action, so Floyd
will object to Goldstein being
the referee."
Louis then pointed to the
second bout between Jack
Dcmpsey and Gene Tuniiey, at
Chicago in 1927. when referee
Dave Barry was so insistent
that Dempscy go to a neutral
corner that the groggy Tun
ney had anywhere from 14 lo
16 seconds to gather his wits.
