Hie oddly-marked cult from California who failed ay Imtvujile in tiie Kentucky C&by swept to the front in the stretch at Pimlico Saturday to win the $180.01X1 Preakness Stakes by 3'2 lengths as Chatcaugay, the Derby winner, struggled hopelessly to overtake him. Never Bend was third in the mile and three-sixteenths classic after going to the front at the start and leading until Candy Spots, owned by Rex C. Ells worth of Chino, Calif., charged Into the lead. , That was at the start of the stretch where jockey Willie Shoe maker, who was criticized for his ride aboard Candy Spots in the Kentucky Derby, gave Candy Spots the gun. The colt shot to the front in a few strides. Never fiend, the 1982 juvenile champion which finished second In the hen tucky Derby ahead of Candy Spots, faded out of contention Bid In Stretch Jockey Braulio Baeza, who held Chdteaugay back in sixth place just as he did two weeks ago at Churchill Downs, had started big run on the turn into the stretch. Once again Chatcaugay roared around horses and moved up to third as he came whirling off the final turn. At that point, Chatcaugay was moving fastest of all but Shoe maker, winning the Preakness Stakes for the first time in four tries, still had a horse wider him. The little jockey champion roused the rangy Candy Spots into high gear and Chateaugay was unable to match the challenge. The crowd of 36,263 roared as Candy Spots started to pull away for they made him favorite in the field of eight 3-year-olds. Candy Spots, which charged home in one of the fattest run nings of the Preakness, paid $5.00, $3.20 and (2.20 across the board. Chateaugay, owned by the Darby Dan farm of John W. Galbreath. paid $4.40 and S2 40 while Cain Hoy Stable's Never Bend, four and one-half lengths behind Cha tcaugay at the finish, paid $2.9).

NOT A BALLET STEP Medford'i pitcher Stu Young appears to be dancing for joy or doing a ballet dance in this photo. Actually he had just beat out a throw (or an infield hit against the Pelicans Saturday at Gem Stadium. It was his third hit for the game. Me hit two triples previously to this hit to drive home four runs and to lead the Black Tornado into a 6-1 lead going into the sixth frame.

At least that Is the Idea one would gathpr from the good turnout of people who watched the Oregon Tech-Southern Oregon duel AM) Dyro Burleson a werii ago t'rl day. Let's not kid ourselves that it wasn't the name of Burleson which brought the estimated 1,200- 1,500 fans to Modoc Field lo watch some good track. They didn't go away disappointed. The display put on by Burleson wasn't the only good performance of the night, either. The fans got their money s worth watching a pair of SOC pole vaulters go over the bar at 14 feet. But perhaps the thing that the people were happy about was the fact that the meet was well run and it didn't take all night to run it off. The events went off smooth ly, there was little waiting and the fans had something to watch vir tually all the time. Perhaps the best race of the night, or at least one that was thoroughly enjoyed by all, was an exhibition race between a pair of grade school kids. Don Diver, a fourth grader at Fremont, beat Georgle Demetrakos, a third grad er, In the ?0-yard hurdles. Diver won the close race as the crowd cheered them both on. Diver had a little the longer legs. But then little Demetrakos per-, haps ran his race in warming up. He ran the whole hurdle race a couple or three times just warm ing up. Dyrol Burleson, brother of OTI coach Larry, said It was one of the best run small college meets he had seen, that everything went like clock work. That takes a good effort on the part of everyone and It was carried out to the tee. The Klamath Basin Athletic As sociation, which is sponsoring meet May 25, hopes to run the meet off just as smoothly. some sort while here. He placed 15th in the National All-Star meet in Kansas City this past season. He won the Classic singles and All-Events. He had a 732 singles and 1998 for All-Events. He will be worth watching.

Falls Chiloquin Fairfield, riding the crest of a revived putting game, shot a 4- under-par 68 Saturday to seize the 54-hole lead in the $33,000 Okla noma City open with a total of 311. Fairfield, who plavs out of Perdido Bay, Fla., and has not won in nearly three years, led a par-wrecking field by one stroke. Trailing him at 212 were Bob Rosburg. Ernie Vossler, Frank Beard, George Bayer, Dow Finstcrwald and rookie Al Kelicy Jr. Two strokes back at 213 were Jerry Edwards, Hal JlcCommas, Bobby Nichols, .Miller Barber. Bob Dudcn and Julius Boros. Edwards made the biggest jump, coming from a 36-hold tie for 60th when he shot a quail creek record 8-under-par 64 Saturday. Australian Bruce Devlin, who led by one stroke going into Sat urday's action, stumbled in with a 5-ovcr-par 77 for a 54-holc total of 216. Fairfield sank six birdie putts, one of them a 22-footer, and took hole turn at 2-under-par 34 and repeated the feat on the back nine. "t just started making putts." Fairfield said in explaining his game which has shown great im provement alter poor showings in the Waco Turner Open and Co lonial Invitational. "That's the secret of the game. I only made 30 putts today." The 33 -year -old professional who makes his home in Urbana. 111., missed only two greens and said he used the 1 3, and 4 irons most of the way. "This course will eat you up if you use a driver." he said. "You have to use caution." Fairfield, whose last tour vic tory was in the I960 St. Paul Open, thus moved into Sunday's finale five strokes under par for the tournament. For a change, the usually windy Quail Creek course was calm and the scores showed it: Twenty-one players bettered par 36-3672.
