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.

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

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

seventh place to within one game
of the first-place San Francisco
Giants. They also were the only
major league club to sweep
doubleheader Sunday when they
beat the New York Mets, 10 and
4-2 in 13 innings.
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
