Carroli's future book today. The brown colt opened at 10 • to 1, the current figure on Cos mic Bomb, who was a 6 to 1 winter book choice. Fifty thousand eight hundrt^ and forty racing enthusiasts who' pack ed* the Jamaica stands Saturday have moVe reason than usual to believe that they saw the winner of the Kentucky Derby in action. C. V. Whitney's Phalanx drove to the wire in the $40,000 Wood Me morial a length and a half before B. F. Whitaker's Louisiana derby winner, Carolyn A., who led Mrs. John D. Hertz’ Owners Choice by almost two lengths. Somewhere in the same county, Marlet Stables’ Kerry finished fourth. A firm choice with the patrons, the stretch-running. Camden-con ditioned son of Pilate from the good mare Jacola ran the mile and a sixteenth in the excellent time of 1:48 4-6. This was not only the fastest time of the current Jamaica meeting, but the second fastest edition of the Wood Memorial, at this distance, having only been bet tered by Count Fleet', who preceded his triple crown victory of 1948 by winning the Wood in 1:43. Six previous winners of the Wood have gone on to win the “Run for the Roses” and there is no doubt that Camden’s Phalanx will hare g strong following in the Kentucky classic on May 8. In winning the Wood Memorial, Phalanx added $81,826 to his earn ings, which now total $90,415. For Trainer Sylvester Veitch the Phal anx win was his second of the afternoon In the earlier feature, The Tulip, Mother, 3-year-old gray daughter of Mahmoud, piloted by EMdie Arcaro showed her heels to a smart field of fillies, winning by three lengths over Walter P. Chrysler’s Colslne.

Out of the 'starting gate in eighth place, the big fellow was seventh at the club house turn. As the field - entered the backstretch, Phalanx was still wen off the pace, but racing with his bead low and evidently reaching for the bit and wanting to show some speed. Near ing the far turn Arcaro gave Phal anx his head and both Cosmic Bomb and Blue Border chucked it as though either of them were not fit enough or Just not good enough. Owners Choice, who had led to this point, continued to show speed into the stretch, but Phalanx loom ed up on the outside and was ob- viouq:ly the master of the situation as he drove past Carolyn A. and Kerry, second and third respective ly. The Whitney star drew level with the front running Owners Choice at the eighth pole and went on with speed to spare, but was doing his best all the way to the wire and Arcaro never stopped urg ing him. After the race, Arcaro said, “Any one who beats this colt in the Derby will know he has been to the races.” The third win of the afternoon for C. V. Whitney’s Camden-traim ed thoroughbreds came in the lasi event on the seven race card. Bright Sword, steadied along in the early running and rounding to the far turn moved up fast on the outside, came around the leaders turning into the stretch and was driven hard to win by six lengths from Cencerro of the Jayesa Stables. The 8-year-oId son of Ques tionnaire-Burning Bright won the mile and a sixteenth Traveller Handicap in the good time of 1:44 3-6, to take down the winner’s share of $3^280. At Havre EM Grace, Md^ there was still another story unfolded during the afternoon. Mra. Ethel DuPont’s Weir’s star, Royal Gov ernor. who trained well here this past winter, charged to victory In the Chesapeake^Trlal Stakes. ’The Trial Stakes was a thrill-packed af fair and Royal'Governor trounced a field of Derby-Preakness-Belmont Stakes eliglbles in clever fashion. Royal Governore wln^ was a wrtl earned one, the Pilate-Feathers gelding overcoming Interference midway of the turn and raced wide thereafter by “Smokey’ Saunders, while wearing down the leaders. Mrs. Weir’s racer soampered the six, furlongs in 1:10 8-5, which was just one-fifth of a second slower than the track record. Royal Governor was off alertly, but was allowed to drop out of con tention. Saunders raced him on the outside while improving his posi tion turning for home.

The Rocks won Tuesday afternoon at Cheraw, 6 to 1. Seven runs, resulting from nine hits from the offerings of Minnary In the first two innings spelled the downfall, ot the Rhode Island out fit. Blanka took over in the third and scattered four hits over as many innings until he weakened in the eighth when Wilmington pusb^ ed four runners home on two walks, an error by Fox, his seedhd of the game, and Levan’s homer. As- mer went the route for the visitors and while the Chiefs reached him for nine hits, only twice did they manage to gather more than one per inning. / ' Wilmington started the scoring I with a rush, gathering three rufis in the opening round. In this period Romello, Sanickl and Kolosna, all poled doubles with Cusick and Saltzgraver gathering singles. The invaders, tasting blood, tore into Minnary’s offerings again in the second when four hits, an error by Minnary and a walk betted four runs. Only a fast double play kept the score down in this round. Providence threatened in the first when Passero walked. Fox singled, but the rally died when Foster hit into a double play. Again in the second one hit plue an error put a runner on third, but Minnary rolled weakly to third And was an easy out at first. Providence was check ed effectively* until the seventh when after Di Muccio fanned, D1 Prima singled, went to second on Blanks’s inflld out and scored on a single by Fox.
