Arias on Canonero II
Kentucky Derby and Preakness
winner, was the best of them
all.
The Kentucky-bred colt,
owned by Pedro Baptista of
Venezuela, finished fourth Sat
turday in the Belmont Stakes
behind Pass Catcher, Jim
French and Bold reason. Once
again the Triple Crown proved
as elusive as ever. Canonero
was the sixth horse since 1948
to win the first two classics in
the series but fail in the final
event.
In defeat Canonero gained as
many admirers as he had in
victory and rival horsemen who
had expected him to fade out of
the picture completely in the
stretch readily admitted that
the colt ran a game race and
was far from disgraced.
Pass Catcher, finally display
ing the form owner Peter
Kissel and trainer Eddie Yowell
always expected of lim, won by
three quarters of a length over
Jim French who was three and
one-half lengths ahead of Bold
Reason. Then, only a neck
behind, came Canonero, tired
but game to the finish.
Arias said he knew Canonero
faced a difficult task in the 1%
mile Belmont Stakes run over a
deep and tiring race track. And
he blamed the two days the colt
had to miss in training, when
an infected foot was being
treated, for the colt’s defeat.
“I knew what a difficult task
was ahead of him. He was
trained up to the race but I
hoped against hope that nothing
would go wrong during the
race,” the Venezuelan trainer
said.
“But there was no reserve
because he missed that training

and unfortunately Canonero
was rank (difficult to handle)
early in the race, fighting
against Avila (jockey Gustavo
Avila). When I saw that
happen, when I saw him
expending himself needlessly
tliat early in the race I knew he
was in trouble. It was too much
to ask,” the trainer said
sorrowfully.
SPORTS
Cubs end series
with 41 big hits
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI) - The Chi
cago Cubs whacked Atlanta
pitching for 41 hits in three
games over the weekend—and
even then, they were able to
win only two of them.
As pitcher Bill Hands puts it,
"We’ve been struggling.”
The Cubs are 7% games back
of leader St. Louis in the Na
tional League East and their
struggles at times were so
futile that new rumors cropped
up that Leo Durocher would be
sacked. But, don’t count them
out yet. They ain’t dead. Just
ask the Braves.
The Cubs are getting the hits
—even against Atlanta’s hit-me
staff, 41 is a lot. And, they’re
getting the pitching most of the
time — strong route-going jobs
by Ferguson Jenkins and Hands
against the Braves, following up
on Thursday night’s no-hitter
against Cincinnati by Ken
Holtzman.
Jenkins tamed the Braves on
a three-hitter Friday night and
Hands tossed a seven-hitter in
Sunday’s 6-3 victory. The
Braves won the one in between,
however, on Mike Lum’s three
run homer in the 11th inning
Saturday night —a blast that
very nearly was caught. It
was two steps forward and one
step back for the Cubs, still
two wins shy of .500.
Hands was breezing Sunday
when the Braves came to bat,
trailing 6-0, in the ninth. Hank
Aaron, who was presented a
seven-diamond ring by the
Braves before the game in
commemoration of his 600th
homer and “the homers to
come,” slammed his6o9th home
run to spoil the shutout. Mo
ments later, Earl Williams
doubled and Hal King hom
ered. But, Hands shut them off

Blue Earth, Minn.

HORSE SENSE
Trainer Nick Gonzales,
talking about Bold Reason
ing, says: "He’s good na
tured and a big eater. A big
horse is better than a small
horse—if the big one has
class. Without class, a big
horse is just a big eater.”

at that point.
“I didn’t think I was tired,”
Hands said later, “but, in all
that heat, I guess I was. I
would like to have had a shut
out, but I’m just glad to get
the win. We’ve been struggl
ing.”
Hands, a 20-game winner two
years ago and winner of 18 last
season, had a four-hit job go
ing until the Braves teed off in
the ninth. The Cubs had taken
a 2-0 first inning lead, added
another in the fourth on Joe
Pepitone’s solo homer, and then
scored what proved to be the
decisive run when light-hitting
Paul Popovich, filling in for the
injured Glenn Beckert at sec
ond base, belted a two-run
homer into the right field
stands.
“I thought I was pitching
pretty well—l was keeping my
stuff low,” Hands said. “I just
threw bad pitches to Aaron
and King.”
For the Braves, it’s out of
the frying pan into the fire.
The Cardinals open a three
game series here tonight, with
added victory incentive fur
nished by a loss Sunday to the
Reds and by onrushing Pitts
burgh and New York, who are
right on the Cards’ heels in the
Eastern Division race.
Ron Reed (6-3) goes for At

Mike Torrez (1-2).
