" Tularch, owned by C. George McCullagh, publisher of the To- ronto Globe and Mail, was an easy winner of the second divis- fon of the Plate trial. Winner of the first division was Leonforte, owned by the Braeside stable op= erated by Jim Coleman, sports columnist of the same newspaper, A third horse emerged as like- ly split favorite with Tularch for the Plate, in Herbert Lahman's Kanlee which finished fifth be- hind Tularch but was going bet- ter than any other horse way on the outside at the finish, The Plate trials were run at six furlongs, whereas the King's Plate itself calls for a mile and an eighth, Both divisions of the Plate trial carried $2,500 added, while the Plate proper next Sat- urday has $10,000 added. Tularch's victory was impres- sive.

Turpin, tabbed by experts as world-cham- pionship calibre, is prepared for the title but British Boxing Board of Control regulations forbid it. The regulations, announced re- cently, state that the limit for boy boxers under 18 years will be 18 minutes (six three-minute rounds); 18-20 years, eight rounds; 20 years, 10 rounds, and over 21, 15 rounds. Empire championships are fought over the 15-round route. The rules, taken generally, were applauded by British sports writers, 'The sports editor of the London Daily Worker said they were a step in the right direction--"that of a clean fight game, with expert man- agement, vastly-improved training and instruction based on the best scientific methods and the cutting out of favoritism." But he thought Turpin's case was different. "A year at the outside and he will be ready to take the title," he wrote. "To hold him--and others like him --both can be as harmful as to 'flog' a young boxer. And we have not thgt much talent at present." Turpin, who he sald was "easily the best (world-champion) pros=- pect Britain has at any weight . .. is not only faced with the color bar (the B.B.B.C. rules forbid negro. boxers to fight for British Profes- sional Titles), but he must be con- tent with eight and 10-round af- fairs until he reaches his majority. By that time he will have been able to clean up all the remaining middle-weights in the country twice over." He suggested the B.B.B.C. shouig waive its rule "when Turpin can no longer be held off," and added the board could obtain the advice of doctors and other experts as to whether he is competent or fit to go 15 rounds. > + * The splvs, or wide boys--the fel- lows with the padded shoulders, pointed shoes and bright ties whose hardest work is dodging same--have a complaint. They were "done in" on the ticket racket at the recent Bruce Woodsock-Joe Baksi heavyweight fight at Harrington arena. "Middlemen are ruining the business," one moaned. "I had to pay £26 ($104) for a 10-guinea ($42) ticket to sell at 30 guineas. It ain't worthwhile."

TAKE IT EASIER! Trying to kill the ball is one of the worst faults in golf. It generally goes with too long a backswing as shown on the left. The young lady shows how to overcome pressing by taking a shorter backswing. Swish! goes the clubhead as it swings in practice. Smack goes the bottom of the club as fit strikes the ground in the player's first effort of the day of .the sea~ son. The player is on the aggres- sive, He is out to show the club and ball who is boss, The last time he was out there were some question about who wound up in the saddle, Any innocent by- .stander could have seen with both eyes shut, that club and ball didn't respond much to their owner's efforts. When making clubs by hand or repairing them or just clean- ing them, also when I have clean- ed or repainted balls, and I have worked on' thousands of clubs and balls, I've gathered from them that they don't like to be bullied. In fact, they simply re- - fuse to be treatéd with anything short of proper respect. They have numerous ways of showing their displeasure but, most play- ors aré hard to convince. If a machine could be made to 'meas sure the amount of energy wast- N ed by most golfers when swing- ing a club perhaps the findings would alter their ways. Perhaps these few lines will set some players to thinking along the right 'lines, possibly carrying out the proper program. It takes only one practice swing before the game, one effort made with a grunt to put the best player off his game. Yes, it's quite natural to use top much strength or too much power from the wrong source, but, this only makes it more important to be on guard against such a mistake. Es- pecially when starting the sea- son' are you prone to use too much strength, take too long a backswing, Remind yourself, before you touch a club, that no player exer started too easy, an €asy st gives you every chance to finis strong, Then make sure you take it 'easy by using abeut half the backswing you think necdgsayy. | By cutting your effort An" "halt you'll still have plenty of power. drivers' rebellion for a bigger cut of the prize money, plans for the annual 500-mile international auto- mobile race at Indiahapolis are be- ing completed with time trials heduley for noon, Saturday, May Dissatisfied drivers, who had sworn to boycott the the race be- cause they claim the Speedway re- fused to raise the prize money from $75,000 to $150,000, made a plea to the American. Automobile associa- tion to revocate the AAA sanction on the event but the AAA turned the plea down. Wilbur Shaw, himself a .three- classic said that there will be no change in the race and added that the only chance these drivers have of competing in the race would be to pilot cars already entered. Dri- vers for all cars must be named by May 15. A full field of 33 racers is assured for Memorial Day, these entries to be determined by the time trials. Pole position in the race was won by Cliff Bergere of Los Angeles last ear although Ralph Hepburn made e fastest time. Hepburn, who reached 134,449 miles per hour over one lap on the 10-mile qualifying route, didn't have his car ready on the first day of the speed tests and it is this day that determines the pole winner. Both Hepburn and Bergere are entered in the 1947 event. Additional time trials are set for four other days before the race. All drivers must pass a physical examination first and new entries in the 500-mile classic must pass a driver's test ranging up to 115 miles per hour, the minimum speed re- quired of all cars seeking a start- ing spot. time winner of the Memorial Day. Shaw sees the possibility of a new record for the race this year. The track mark for the 500 miles over the two and one-half mile course is 117,200 miles per hour, set by the late Floyd Roberts in 1938. The qualifying time record was Hepburn's last year. Included among the racers who will ride for fame and fortune in the big event are Ted Horn, the na- tional champion, who will drive an eight-cylinder car eptered by Cot- ton Hennin; To: Hinnershitz, the Paterson, N.J., veteran who will drive the car entered by Horn; Russ Snowberger, the Detroit veter- an; Duane Carter, who has had some success on midget tracks; Bergere, and Mauri Rose of Chi- cago, who won the race in 1941, This will be the last year for super-charged motors with piston displacement up to 183.08 cubic inches. Beginning next year, super- charged motors will be limited to power plants with maximum dis- placements of 91.5 cubic inches, Last year the winner, the late George Robson , averaged 114.82 miles per hour but 'the race was slowed twice and Hepburn's $50,000 car was forced out after 121 laps with brake trouble. The Indianapolis classic was started in 1911 with Ray Harroun the winner. It has been run ever since with the exception of the war years, 1917-18 and 1942-43-44-45. Lou Meyer and Shaw are the only three-time winners of the event. Eddie Rickenbacker, one of the most famous drivers of his day, ne- ver won the Indianpolis race. He sold the Speedway in 1945 to Tony Hulman, Indiana sportsman, for $750,000. The biggest crowd in the history of the event, an estimated 175,000 persons, is expected to be on hand for the four-hour race on May 30. Hal Chase, One Baseball's Best, Passes at 64 Colusa, Calif., May 19-- (AP) Hal Chase, probably the greatest fielding first baseman of all time, died yesterday. "Prince Hal," whose brilliant career in the majors ended under the cloud of the "Black Sox Scan- dal" of 1919, twice was in a co- ma for 36 hours during his lengthy illness, but twice he ral- lied. The third strike put him out. Chase was 64, and a pathetic figure from a kidney ailment, heart trouble and complications of old age. With New York Yankees, Chase was the most agile, quick- thinking first sacker baseball had ever produced. He had an uncan- ny way of sensing the batter's in- tention and roved over a wide ar- ea, even catching pop fouls be- hind the catcher, He was a wizard .on a bunt, Chase concluded his major lea- gue career in 1919 with the New York Giants, He was 37 then, a veteran of 15 seasons in a World Series. Chase was not 'accused of be= ing involved in the "Black Sox Scandal" but later he admitted he had advan s knowledge that the 1919 World Series between Chi= cago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds had been "fixed." "Sure, I knew about that," Chase said not long ago. "But I AVS EEL AS was no squealer." or. DEA. Major League Statistics NATIONAL Batting--H. Walker, Philadelphia 390. Runs--Mize, New York 29.

Louis Cardinals is that the rest of the National Lagu Wi been ganging up on them an unor- thodox barrage of left-handed hers. Including their double defeat by Philadelrhia Phillies yesterday which sunk them seven full games off the pace, the last-place irds have been beaten by southpaws 11 times this seasgn. In 27 games, rival managers have started lefthanders against St. Louis 18 times. : How the rival teams are saving their lefthander for the Cards is best borne out by the strategy of Ben hChapman, Phillies' manager. In throwing lefties Ken Heintzelman and Ken Raffensberger against southpaw swingers Stan Musial, Enos Slaughter and Ron Northey yesterday, Chapman deviated from his Sunday plan for the first time this season. Heretofore, he had asved Schoolboy Rowe and Emil (Dutch) Leonhard for Sunday. After Heintzelman held the Cards to mine hits in the opener to beat them 6-3 Raffensberger really ap- plied the coupe de grace by blank- ing the Cards through 12 innings to win the nightcap 1-0 from Al Bra- zle. Raffensberger allowed only nine hits and did not give up a pass. The second game was decided when Emil Verban, former Cardinal, singled to score Howie Schultz who had singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch. The opener was dry Dickson's sixth successive oss, Boston Braves retained their half game edge over New York Giants by splitting a doubleheader with the Reds in Cincinnati, winning the se- cond game behind Red Barrett, 3-1 highlighted a four-run eight inning and his double scored the tying and winning runs in the ninth. Ernie Lombardi, catching his' first full game for the Giants, banged two home runs, eaclr with two men on base, to offset Hank Greenberg's sixth home run for the Pirates in the afterpiece. Although Jackie Robinson went hitless for the first time in 15 con- secutive games, the Dodgers ended a skein of 18 scoreless innings by tallying four times in the seventh to down the Cubs -2 before a r4ecord Chicago crowd fo 46,572. Joe Hatten was awarded the nod over Johnny Sehmjsz in a southpaw duel. %y Feller made his first start of the season at Yankee stadium a success by turning back New York Yankees 5-3. In gaining his fifth victory against three setbacks, Fel- ler had to be assisted by*Steve Gro- mek in the ninth. Scoring two runs in the ninth in- ning of each game, Chicago White Sox took the measure of Washing- ton's Senators twice in the Caritol City 4-2 and 3-2. Thurman Tucker's double brought in the two runs in the opener while singles by Tucker and Luke 'Appling accounted for the winning runs in the nightcap. Philadelphia's surprising Athletics moved into sixth place, only 4% games behind the first-place De- troit Tigers, by trimming St. Louis Browns twice at Shibe Park 4-3 and 5-2.
