The highly-publicized night racing venture at Portland Meadows has struck a discordant note among many turfmen, and a group of the big shots of the sport of kings such names as the Wideners, Woodwards, Vanderbilts, Headleys. Whitneys and duPonts have banded together to keep horse racing in the sunlight and away from the mazdas. The far-flung Racing Protective bureau's now code of standards for tracks puts the frown on night galloping, and Portland Meadows . won't be under the sanction of the Thoroughbred Racing association. Neither Is Bay Meadows down on the San Francisco peninsula. . Bill Kyne. the Portland Meadows promoter, has lined up a galaxy of reasons why floodlight racing is okay. He (even goes so far as to say that the bangtails will be breathing purer air at night, which seems rather foolish because the horses are bound by nature to inhale and exhale every few seconds, daylight or dark, and that's not going to be changed by having them gallop at night. l Night Racing Given Black Eye Pesky Has Steady Work On Third For Boston Sox CHICAGO, May 8 UPi Manager he planned to "go along" with his Silver.

YORK. Pa.. May I iNKAl A 34-ycar-om shipping clerk whose heaviest duties are pushing a pencil tuny be the flint American to win Olympic weightlifting championship next year. If he is, Bob Hoffman, who has been looking for a winner since 1933, can sit uack and relax. It's no accident that Shipping Clerk Frank Spellman Is an em ploye here at Hodman's bur urll equipment company. Virtually any one capable oi lifting a 10-pound suck gets the call from Hoffman, for he may be the one who will turn the trick. But Spellman proved he could compete with the best of them. As a OI he won the British welghlllfl iug championship In London in 1944. He Is also the holder of the United States light heavyweight weight lifting title. Following his discharge from the army, Hoffman Invited Spellman to come to York where he works at the plant and trains with other potential champions. In International meets up lo now, Hoffman's boys have won tram titles but never the trophy for Indi vidual competition. Last year In Paris, Hoffman groomed Mlddlewelghts John Ter pak and Spellman were second and third to Egypt's El Tounl. Russia's Novak Is present world's heavy weight champion. The U. S. does not have a comparable contender in the top division. Hoffman has found over the years that a welghtllfter develops belter when training for competition. As there is a scarcity of competitors and virtually no school or college competition, almost all meets are privately sponsored. Hoffman has been the sport's chief promoter. ( Tne next International meet is in Philadelphia. Sept. 36 and 37. Spell man Is in training now to compete with llght-heavywelghts from of other nations. la falaWliil .,:J: aw o Frank Spellman , . , holder of two national urlglillluiua' championships.
