Assault, double winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, has a chance to become the seventh horse in turfdom history to come home first in the Big Three when the Belmont race rolls around the first week in June.
The Texas fireball became the 12th horse to take both the Derby and the Preakness stakes, but only five of the other 11 horses which had accomplished this feat could capture the triple crown.
Assault won by a neck over Lord Boswell in the Preakness, but many experts believe that Lord Boswell will win the Belmont because of the added distance. The Belmont track is a quarter-mile longer than the Preakness oval.
Lord Boswell made a terrific drive on the stretch, but he couldn't overtake Assault. With the added distance, I believe that Lord Boswell will come home the winner and spoil Assault's chance to go down in racing annals.

The major league baseball races are proving that you can't judge by pre-season dope how the teams will fight it out after the season starts. The American league race was forecast as the closest in many years, but the National league was conceded to be more or less a walkaway for the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Boston Red Sox, leading the American league, are 10 games ahead of the fourth place club and $ _{14}^{2} $ games in front of the tail-end Philadelphia Athletics.
It is a different story in the senior circuit. Brooklyn is leading the pack, but only nine and one-half games separate the Dodgers and the last place Philadelphia Phillies. And this race was supposed to be a runaway.
The season isn't near finished yet, and a lot could happen between now and World Series time. But it seems unlikely that any team in the National league can turn the race into a rout without getting a good start. The American league fight could turn into a close contest, but the Red Sox seem to be off to a commanding lead.
--doors, are red and blue 880 threats. Either could take the title, but they will have to outstep such middle distance speedsters as Nebraska's Bobby Ginn and Dean Kratz; Jim Cunningham of Kansas State; and Bill Chronister, Missouri.
Coach George Sauer was pleased when he learned that Warren Riegle, Jayhawker captain and All-Big Six end in 1944, would be back in school next fall.
Biele was a navy trainee and was transferred in mid-season, but he had left his mark on the Big Six schools against whom he had played. Although he played in only six games that fall, he was named to the All-Big Six team.
He will be a welcome addition to the Jayhawkers next fall, and he should make a big difference in the forward wall strength. He is a driver on defense, and a fine pass snagger on offense. With Riegle and Schnellbacher on the receiving end and Red Hogan and Ray Evans slinging the passes, Kansas will have a fine aerial offensive.
Davis Cup Team Will Play in Kansas City
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The United States Davis Cup tennis team will participate in the Heart of America Invitational Tennis tournament here at the Rockhill Tennis club, June 3-9, Hal Surface, Jr., tournament director, announced today.
Surface, eighth ranking amateur player in the nation, said that the United States Tennis association had informed him that the Davis Cup team would compete in a warm-up match here the week before they meet the Phillipine team in St. Louis.
Surface, who has invited the top ranking college players to participate in this year's tourney, said that the top amateur players were now assured of competing in the first postwar annual midwest tournament.
Kansas Is One of Four Track 'Favorites' In Wide-Open Big Six Meet Saturday
Kansas, a dispointing fifth in the Big Six indoor track meet just two months ago, will go to the post as one of the favorites for the conference outdoor flag Saturday when loop thinclads converge on Lincoln for their 18th annual meet.
The Jayhawkers also were top rated in the indoor scuffle at Kansas City but flopped resoundingly when Johnny Jackson and Hal Moore were forced out because of illness. With these two point-gatherers back in the harness along with an imposing array of weight men, league track experts have cast KU in a four-way fight with Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma for the crown.
None of these four can be counted out of championship consideration. And with the steady improvement evident in both camps, both Iowa State, the defending titlist, and Kansas State, easily could finish in the first division.
The only thing certain about the carnival is that it will be the hardest fought, closest conference meet in the two-decade history of the affair. The situation is so unpredictable in at least six events that nobody is paying much attention to a form chart. The scramble for points, especially after first and second place in the broad jump, high jump, pole vault, mile, two-mile, and discuss throw, will involve as many as nine men per event.
Unbeaten in three outdoor dual meets and winners of second place in the Texas and Kansas Relays, Kansas has enough ammunition to win. Jayhawker strength starts in the weights and extends stoutly through the middle distances, high jump and broad jump, before fading out with singletons in the pole vault, dashes and hurdles.
It's no secret that Ray Kanehl's gang expects to pick up 20 or more points in the three weight events alone with Charlie Black, Leroy Robison, and freshman javelin flinger, Karl Ebel, on the implement range.
Black and Robison have a good chance of running one-two in the shot put. The angular basketball All-American owns a mark of 47-9 $ _{3} $ and Robison one of 48-2 $ _{1} $ . This is the best pair of records for that event in the conference.
Black could rack up a double by coping the shot and discus. His pitch of 141-11 $ _{3/4} $ against Kansas State two weeks ago is the second best heave of the conference season. Only Missouri's Mel Sheehan with a mark of 144-3 is better. Robison should place somewhere along the line.
Ebel, the strong-armed lad from Hillsboro, will duel Herb Grote, Nebraska's rotund defending champion, for the javelin banner. Grote has brushed 200 feet this year and owns the current Big Six record of 216-4, but has been ailing for the past two weeks, missing the Cornhuskers' final duel with Missouri. Ebel's best throw is 193-94. Robison, who has won the crown for the past two years, should land points in this event also.
Kansas will field double threats in the quarter and half. In addition to the undefeated Jackson in the 440, Kanehl will pull the wraps off a newcomer, Wallace Destershaft. The towering former Purdue runner chased Jackson home in both the Kansas State and Missouri duals, breaking .50.0 each time. Jackson owns the conference's two best times at .49.4 and .49.5.
Harold Hinchee, who finished second in the indoor field, and Andy Lunsford, twice his conqueror outdoors, are red and blue 880 threats. Either could take the title, but they will have to outstep such middle distance speedsters as Nebraska's Bobby Ginn and Dean Kratz; Jim Cunningham of Kansas State; and Bill Chronister, Missouri.

Six Jayhawkers will toe the takeoff board in the broad jump with Black, Scofield, and Mel Stevens, all good bets to better 22 feet. The remaining entries are Owen Peck, Dexter Welton, and Stoland.
The high jump clash will be between Tom Scofield, Kansas leaper, and Dwayne Feekin, his two-time conqueror from Iowa State. The Jayhawkers figure to tap this event for secondary points with Bob Stoland and Norb Zimmer.
This will be one of the meet's toughest races, ranking with the 440 and mile. The latter will feature a wide-open scramble between Kratz, the defending king; Ginn, Bill Arlen, Iowa State indoor champion; K.U.'s Moore, and Leasure, of Kansas State.
What the Hawkers are able to do after the above group of events will tell the tale of whether or not they can lug home their first gonfalon since 1834. The point-getting will be left up to Black in the pole vault, Peck in the 100, Jackson in the 220, and Welton in the hurdles. None of them figures for better than a second place, but if they come through, Kansas should score slightly more than 60 points—a total good enough to win 13 out of the previous 17 years.
Jacksonville, Fla. (UP) — Law-breakers in this city taste the full irony of life when they arrive at the police station or the county jail — both located on Liberty street.
