(ailed in hit bid for the triple crown Saturday when he finished a soundly beaten second to the Irish-Bred Cavan in the Belmont Stakes. Flamingo was third. Cavan achieved one of racing's greatest upsets Saturday by easily winning tne J1H.600 Belmont Stakes as Tim Tarn Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner pulled up lame after a vain effort to become the ninth colt in history to win the triple crown. It was the second straight year that a foreign-bred horse whipped the American horses in the rugged mile and one half classic for three year olds. Gallant Man, foaled in England but raised in Ireland where Cavan was born, won the Belmont a year ago. Cavan, owned by Joseph E O'Connell of Boston, took charge rounding the bend leading into the homestretch. Then he drew off to beat Tim Tarn by six lengths. Tim Tarn, a prohibitive 3-20 fa vorite of a crowd of 44.025 to give Calumet Farm its third Belmont and triple crown, tried valiantly but could do no better than sec ond place. It was another 54 lengths back to C. V. Whitney's Flamingo, who took third money by three-quarters of a length over the Wheatley stable s Nasco. The crowd, biggest Belmont gathering since 52.668 turned out to watch Phalanx win in 1947, roared as Cavan and Timmy hat tied into the final turn.

Fascination, Drama, Dough Big Lures For Rademacher NEW YORK (NEA) It was trange to see Pete Rademacher walking up to the Catholic Youth Organization gymnasium. Fighters train here, but they are the kind usually associated with the ring. Street corner toughies, most of them, with only the docks or a job pushing a dress cart through the garment center as alternatives to trying to hurt ethers with fists. Rademacher had on a neat business man's suit and he spoke 'In the fast, persuasive tones of a college graduate who has become a top salesman. But Rademacher PETE RADEMACHER . , . Fascination feels he belongs with the fighters He is meeting Zora Folley in Los Angeles near the end of July and that seems to qualify him as n fighter. "Part time anyway, he was laying. "I'm vice president of En terprises Unlimited lhat used to be Youth Unlimited, but we had to change the name and that s my main job. I box In my ipare time. But I feel I belong I have every basic emotion need ad to be a fighter." To Rademacher, fighting emo- .Hons do not consist of the cold rtess brought about by poverty and titifci wjjf i-Vb m many of the shouts turned to groans when It was evident Tim Tarn was through an eighth of a mile from the finish. Ismael Valenzuela, who won the Derby and Preakness aboard the colt, whipped his mount. Tim Tarn swerved slightly but everyone knew he wasn't going to make the winner's circle this time. He went on down to the first turn where Valenzuela dismounted and removed the saddle. The colt limped from the track without re turning to the regular unsaddling area in front of the winner's circle. Five weeks ago Tim Tarn col lected Kentucky roses at Church ill Downs. Three weeks ago Mary land black eyed susans were draped over Tim Tarn at Pimlico. But the white carnations which blankets a Belmont winner went to an Irish galloper who only last week romped off with the Peter Pan Handicap here and set up his remarkable Belmont knockout. Pete Anderson, a 27-year-old na tive of Southampton, N.Y., rode Cavan. As the second choice. Cavan paid $11.80. $2.40 and $2.10. Tim Tarn, who was seeking his ninth straight victory, returned $2.10 and $2.10. Flamingo also was $2.10 to show. Cavan, a chestnut son of Moss borough Willow Ann by Solano, was clocked in 2:30 1-5 on a fast track. It was the slowest time since High Gun won in 1(154 with 2:30 4-5. It was nowhere near the American record of 2:26 3-5 set by Gallant Man in winning the race last June. halved her once-wide margin to four strokes with only 18 holes left in the 72-hole medal event. The long, straight drives that carried her to a comfortable lead after 36 holes began going astray in the third round on the short but tricky layout a t nearby Churchill Valley Country Club. Mickey's Inaccuracy and diffi culties on ' the greens gave Fay Crocker of Montevideo, Uruguay, and Beverly .' Hanson of Indio, Calif., an opportunity to gain val uable ground. They did, too. Miss Hanson, the 1955 winner of one of the women's major crowns, shot a 72 to go with previous rounds of 72 and 74 for a 218 total. Miss Crocker went out in 39, but recorded two birdies on the treach erous back nine for a 32 and a 71. She shares second place with Bev erly at 218. -. Mickey bogled seven holes and birdied only one. She takes a 214 total into Sunday s final round on the par 36-3479, 6,025-yard lay out. Marilynn Smith of Wichita, Kan., picked up four strokes with a fine 72 that gave her a 54-hole total of 220. At 221 were veteran Betty Jame son of San Antonio and Kathy Cornelius of Lakeland, Fla. Miss Jameson had a 74 while Kathy posted a 75. . Defending champion Louise Suggs of Sea Island, Ga., and Mary Lena Faulk, Thomasville, Ga. were tied at 222. lack of education which stands be hind most left jabs. To him it is "the fascination of the dramatics of boxing. It Is wonderful, Rademacher points out. "You depend on your self for everything. What you do comes from effort put In by your self beforehand. "The money Is fascinating, ton. I fought Floyd Patterson for noth ing. Now I'm fighting a top-ranked contender and I'm getting $35,000. I have no manager, only my trainer, George Chemeres. When I was 16, I suffered rheu matic fever. The doctor saidl You re through. Wasn t that nice psychology on his part? It drove me to doing things. I played every sport, never stopped. That's what tirst got me Into boxing. As for his six-round KO at the hands of Patterson last August, in a match which appeared to hove neen mane somewhere on Mars. Rademacher feels it was fine "I lasted a round more than the great Archie Moore," he noles. Pete has trained steadily for nine months. He has boxed "more than 200 rounds with professional fighters at rort Renning IGcorgia "In my ninth amateur brail. 1 lost a decision to Follev in Se attle." recalls the balding Olvin- pic heavyweight champion, "Tiirn in the lira National AAU I met him again and there were nc problems. I won a unanimous do. cision. People in I.os Ancles will see a fine fight if Folley is in superior shape, hut he stands straight up and is made to order lor me. Rademacher swung Into the gym for his workout. No sparring yet because he'll he nround these parts only for a week. Then he'll go to Los Angeles for the sign ing and do most of his training there. Written off aller the Patterson affair, we now have Kndemacher back with Enterprises Unlimit ed this time and no matter how much he says and how well he savs it you still can t see this guy in the boxing business. The only certainly lies in what will happen if Pete Rademacher defeats Zora Folley. He will go after Floyd Patterson again and boxing certainly couldn't survive that. Hal Wood's Weekend Short Shots By HAL WOOD - SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-Week-end shorts: Hank Aaron and Wes Covington of the Milwaukee Braves gave second baseman Danny O'Connell of the Giants an unmerciful rib bing during the series here. "Who do y o u think you are?" queried Aaron of O'Connell, who goes to the mound often when the pitcher is in trouble. "The assist ant manager? Do you get paid extra for Ufat? Do you know that every time you goes out there we hits another rifle shot off the poor guy." O'Connell took the rib bing without a reply then helped "pilot" the Giants to victory the very same day. . , . It'll be some time before there is a "big five" football confer ence on the West Coast if ever. Stanford isn't sure it wants in this league, at all. But, for finan cial reasons, may be forced to join. If the Indians bosses finally do join, it will be the same, as admitting that they have been wrong . all the time censuring UCLA, USC, Washington and Cal for illegal athletic aid. If someone would push it, the chances are good that most of the five western schools would go for that "trans continental conference" proposed a year ago to include Pitt, Navy, Army, Notre Dame. Oklahoma and Texas, among others, . With pitching that would allow the opposition only four runs per game, the San Francisco Giants would be leading t h e national league by about four ' or five games. . . . When the National AAU meet rolls around at Bakersfield later this month; watch for Parry O' Brien to be pushed into a new world record in the shot put. The Giants drew 63,711 for the three-game series with the Braves very close to capacity for chum my little seals Stadium. They ex pect to do about the same for the four-game series with Cincin nati . . . average attendance is well past the 15,000 mark per game. . . .

Joe is top security officer for the club. McMullin Captures Dallas Open Win DALLAS. Tex.. (AP)- Lean John McMullin rallied on the back nine when the pressure was the strongest Saturday and swept in with a 1-under-par 69 for 198 and a 3-strnke lead in the $25,000 Dal las Open. McMullin, the tall young' man from Fair Oaks, Calif., appeared to be bowing to the tenseness of the situation as he shot the first seven holes of the third round three over par. But he birdied 8. 9 and 10, added birdies on 17 and 18. The crowd thought McMullinJ making his first tour and after his first high place in a tourna ment, might crack in this round, which he, himself, called the most crucial of them all, but he didn't. In fact, it was the pursuers who wilted. Tommy Bolt of Paradise, Ha., who started Saturday s third round with 130 to McMullin's 129. had a 1-over-par 71. He stayed in second place at 201. Gary Player of Johannesburg. South Africa, who was third with 132, shot a 72.
