Mr. Fitz"
Looking
For Triple
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK (1 Sunny Jim
Fitzsimmons, the 80-year-old dean
of American trainers, Is getting
aijout the Aqueduct ' stable area
with a spring in his step these
mornings as he and his assistants
attend to the care and ieeding of
some 50 thoroughbreds entrusted
to their special talents.
The reason Is, say his associates,
that "Mr. Fitz" has come bacit
trom the Saratoga meeting more
than a little convinced that he has
next year's triple crown winner in
Nashua. Belair Stud's crack 2-year-old
who won last week's
Hopeful Stakes at the upstate track
for his fourth triumph In five
starts.
Another sweep of the 3-year-old
classics the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont Stakes
would supply a fitting climax to
one of the most notable careers
in the history of the American turf.
They say there isn't a man in the
business who wouldn't be happy
well, fairly so to see the kindly
sage of Sheepshead Bay rack it up
as his valedictory.
The veteran trainer, who still
drives his own car to work before
daylight and put in a full 12-hour
day, already has a pair of triple
crowners to his credit Gallant
Fox in 1930 and Omaha in 1935.
Both, like Nashua, were Belair
horses.
Although Nashua, a big animal
who already looks like a 3-year-oid,
still has some distance to go to
prove it, both Fitz and Jockey Ed
die Arcaro already are convinced
he's the year's juvenile champion.
Arcaro told Fitz after the Hopeful
that his mount "wasn't doing his
best." yet one expert wrote that
he believed it was the best race
he ever saw run by a 2-year-old at
Saratoga.

with formalities and got down to
the problem at hand right away
how to teach their charges to win
games. A few have only one week
to prepare as there are a scatter
ing ot minor games a week from
Saturday.
Some have two weeks, while the
majority will swing into action

nationally televised game will be
California-Oklahoma at Berkeley

Only five games remain between

The point of no return was
reached last night. The Yankees
got only two hits as Cleveland
roared down the warpath to a
6-1 triumph. .
The Indians, who are winning
games at a faster clip than any
team in modern American League
history, actually taunted the world
champions by loading the bases
in the first inning and then not
scoring, a maneuver that would
have meant certain defeat in vears
past.
But Early Wynn never gave the
Yanks a chance. Cleveland pushed
over two runs in the fourih on
singles by Vic Wertz and Dave
Pope, a double by Al Rosen and
a sacrifice fly. Four runs in the
eighth, three of them on a homer
by Dave Philley, wrapped It up.
Irv Noren homered in the seventh.
Enos Slaughter slashed a pinch
single in the eighth. That ended
the Yankee attack.
Wynn's victory was his 19Ui and
his most impressive of the year.
In the National League, the New
York Giants moved 3'i games in
front of the Brooklyn Dodgers
w.m a o-j triumph in St. Louis.
Brooklyn managed only three hit
off Gene Conlcy and bowed to the
