Mike Kitching (30), Rich Jackson (23), Gary Benson, between Candy Spots Faces Race In Jersey BALTIMORE UPI ' There's no rest in sight for Candy Spots, the hero of the Preakncss. The California speedster will make his next start in the $100, 000 added Jersey Derby at Gar den State Park on Memorial Day and then is expected to run into his old rivals, Chaleaugay and Never Bend, in the Belmont Stakes at Aqueduct, June 8. Candy Spots came out of the Preakness, in which he ran away from Chaleaugay and Never Bend in the stretch, in fine fet tle, according to trainer Mesh Tcnney. Arhin' To Hun "He's fine now and achin' to run, and we surely want to run him." said Tenney while dis counting any idea that his colt would be over-raced if he enters him in the Jersey Derby and the Belmont without a respite. Tenney did admit, though, thatj for one brief moment in Satur-j day's Preakness he thought Cha leaugay would "smother" Candy Spots in the stretch just as he did in the Kentucky Derby. "That would have to alert any-! hody." he said of the strong bid made by Chateaugay on the final turn, a hid that earned the Darby Dan colt Irom hack in the pack to within a length of Candy Spots, who had taken over the lead from Never Bend. Doubts Are Diiprllrd When he made as good a move as that it looked like the Derhv all over again. He was running so well I wondered said Tennev. whose doubts were dispelled a moment later. It was then that jockey Willie Shoemaker lashed Candy Spots several times with the whip and the 87th Preakness was all over For an eighth of a mile in the stretch Chateaugay gallantly managed to keep within sinking distance of virtorv but in the last half of the stretch Candy Spots pulled away to win by three and one-half lengths.

'LTD Flags hung at half mast at city hall and at other office buildings to-l day as Elmira tried to accept the loss of its greatest sports hero, Ernie Davis. The body of the 23-year-old. former Syracuse University half back arrived in his hometown Sunday from Cleveland, where he died Saturday after a 13 month fight against acute leu-! kemia. Funeral services for the only Negro ever to win the Heisman Trophy as college football's out standing player two years ago will be held Wednesday from Monumental Baptist Church, only a block from his home. Burial will be in W'oodlawn Cemetery. The pall bearers at the funer al Wednesday will be six of his high school teammates on the 1957 Elmira Free Academy squad. They are Lewis Stark Jr., Leo Hughey. Frank Cox. William Fitzgerald, led De rillino and Jack Moore, all of whom are now living in Elmira, Among the honorary pall bear ers will be the Cleveland Browns' Jim Brown, whose Syracuse Uni versity records Davis topped while an undergraduate, Syra- use head coach Ben Swartzwal ler. and members of the Browns and recent Syracuse squads. Davis broke a number of sports records before his graduation and was eventually signed hv the Browns to a three-year, WO.OOOi contract. Davis never got a chance to play with the Browns alter he learned he was afflicted with leukemia last July. He kept in training and watched game mov ies during the fall season. He had hoed to be able to return to the game when he seemed to be making headway acainst the disease. Bv L'niled Press International All those crepe-hangers who where so sure Walt Alston was about to lose his job can march to the blackboard and write 100 times: "How wrong can anyone be'.'" Alston's job as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers was regard ed so precarious two weeks ago that owner Walter O'Malley broke long silence by giving him a vote of confidence. Ordinarily, such verbal pats on the back too often turn out to be the kiss of death but at the spec tacular clip Alston has the Dodg ers going now he's even in a po sition to throw a few votes O Mai ley s way. At long last, the Dodgers look like the club everyone felt they could be but never really were since 1959 when they won their last National League pennant, Close In On Giants They have won 6 in a row, 9 of their last 10 and have zipped from seventh place to within one game of the first-place San Francisco Giants.

Southpaw Sandy Koufax rolled to his sixth victory with a two hitter in the opener and Frank Howard cracked his seventh hom er with one man aboard in the 131 h inning of the nightcap. Ron Hunt's fourth inning single and a sixth inning infield singlel by losing pitcher Roger Craig were the only hits off Koufax in the first game, which really was decided in the first inning when Tommy Davis' sacrifice fly ac counted for the only run of the contest. Ron Perranoski blanked the Mets on four hits over the last seven innings to register his sixth win in the nightcap. Howard's homer dealt the first loss of the season to Ken MacKenzie. who had eneved Met starter J J.?-(:sor ;.i the 12th.
