Finis To The Saga Of Silky
NEW YORK-(UP)-They wrote "finis" today to the saga of Silky Sullivan.
The roof fell in at 4:34.05 p.m. Saturday when a colt called Tim Tam won the Kentucky Derby. At that moment, Silky was staggering along 21 lengths back in 12th place and the Horatio Alger tale ended.
Thanks Anyway, Casey
NEW YORK—(UP)—Even Casey Stengel tried to cheer up Al Lopez but there was no wiping away the White Sox skipper's glum disappointment over the fumbling, last-place start of his team.
"I know you guys ain't hitting." Stengel told Lopez over the clubhouse telephone Sunday. "That's why we're calling these games off."
vards farther down the track, Red Hot Pistol had overtaked Silky and went on to beat the Sullivan to the wire by two and one-half lengths.
It was the final blow. The missile hadn't only failed to leave the launching pad. It had even quit trying.
Casey, of course, was kidding because the rain was coming down so hard that there could be no possible thought about playing a doubleheader. He wasn't joking about the White Sox' poor hitting, though.
"Thanks, Case," Lopez replied. "I certainly appreciate that."
"Naturally, I'm very disappointed," said Lopez. "We haven't been hitting a lick. Take a look at some of our averages."
The Chicago manager picked up a mimecographed sheet and read from it:
"Smith .176. . Francona .162
. He was our best hitter in spring training.. Phillips .128. . Goodman
.120. . Torgeson .095. . Jackson
.211."
Silky Sullivan had proved to be nothing but a con artist.
just as they rounded into the stretch. He passed Red Hot Pistol by a length and moved into 11th place.
Lopez toop a deep breath and removed the eye-glasses he uses for reading.
he said. "That doesn't mean we're through by a long shot, though. There are still 140 games left to play. We're six games back true enough. Still it isn't as bad as being that many games back in say June or July."
A horse happy nation, believing in the "little people" and the luck of the Irish, had taken him to its heart. But when it was over they discovered that Silky had worked the shell game on some hayshakers and then, taking a seat in the big time, had blown his roll without a struggle.
Lopez said the only ones who have been hitting on his club are Sherman Lollar, Nelle Fox and Luis Aparicio. The White Sox outfield is hitting an aggregate of 120.
"Last year at this time we were 11- and-2. Now we're 4- and-10."
"Tucy can't tell me that fellows like Smith, Francona, Goodman, Phillips and Torgeson are going to continue to hit like they have been." Lopez declared. "I know they're all much better hitters than they have shown."
Silky was really living it up when he clobbered those Santa Anita hicks. He gave 'em 28 lengths and beat 'em. He spotted 'em 40 lengths and cut them down as they came back to him and then copped the Santa Anita derby after being 30 lengths out.
He had conned them well.
The White Sox are trying to make a deal for a strong right-handed hitter on the order to Roy Sievers or maybe even Ray Boone, but noth- has materialized so far.
He was 19 lengths back at the head of the stretch—and 21 lengths back when it was over.
There are some who will contend that there were too many horses in front of him. But that wouldn't have mattered to the old Silky of the hot hand. For they were well spread out heading into the stretch and there was plenty of racing room in that long, long dash down to the wire.
But this gang he bumped into Saturday was a bunch of high-rolling smoothies.
This Gang Was Fast
Those trying to preserve the vestige of a dream will say everything was against him. But that's the way he made his reputation and a "nothing" colt called Red Hot Pistol robbed the fairy tale of its final shreds of fantasy in those last long yards.
But Silky didn't even make a serious bid.
Silky, beginning what was expected to be one of those patented rushes to the front. started a bid

Tempestuous Tommy A New Man Now
FORT WORTH. Tex. —(UP)— Tommy Bolt convinced a host of skeptics that he is "a new man" in winning the Colonial National Invitation golf title with a hard-earned 282.
Bolt, who claims he was born so far back in the Oklahoma sticks that "they had to pipe daylight to our house," proved a gentlemanly golfer through both thick and thin as he muddied through to the victory he rated as "one of the top four golf crowns in the nation."
The paper collar was invented in 1854 by Hunt, an American.
