avents to go, Tech held a lead of
mly 4 2-3 points but Fowlkes and
l'ommy Coons cinched it by run
-ling one-two in the low hurdles.
Times generally were good. Au

Preakness
Record Falls
In Capot Win
BALTIMORE, May 14—(AP)—
Capot sizzled through a light
shower to a new track record to
day as he won the Preakness
stakes by the margin of a damp
head in one of the most thrilling
finishes in the long history of the
classic.
The Greentree stable three
year old star, second in last week’s
Kentucky Derby, showed - them
who was boss this time as he out
lasted Isidor Bieber’s Palestinian
in the drive for the wire in the
mile and three-sixteenths event.
Crispin Oglebay’s ‘Noble Im
pulse was third. Calumet Farm’s
Derby winner — Ponder — never
got in the act and wound up fifth
in the field of nine starters. Mrs.
E. H. Ellison, Jr.s Sun Bahram was
fourth.
The 73rd Preakness turned into
a double photo finish, The judges
had to look at the pictures to de
cide that Capot had the call over
Palestinian.
- Then they peered at the photo
graphs again to put Noble Impulse
!officially in third place.
_ Capot, given a brilliant ride by
Toronto Teddy Atkinson, blazed
under the wire in 1:56 flat, wiping
two-fifth of a second off the track
record set by Riverland in the
1943 Dixie Handicap.
The time also was a full second
faster than the old Preakness rec
| ord of 1:57 made by Alsab in 1942.

TECH WINS, 9-8
Clutch Hitting
Defeats Georgia
ATLANTA, May 14. — Sunset Thompson allowed
Georgia’s baseball outfit eight hits—two of them homers
—but managed to hang on as his teammates hit in the
clutch to give the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets a 9.8
win here today.
Georgia catcher Howard John
son hit his first four-bagger of
the season. But when Johnson
does something he doesn’t go at
it in a small way. The bases
were loaded when the big Bull
dog captain jumped on one of
Thompson’s fast balls ang drove
it over the left field fence to tie
the game at 8-5. Eli Maricich
also homered.
Carl (Ace) Adams started the
game for Georgia, but gave way
to reliefer Lefty Dick Miles, who
won two games last week in the
role of fireman. Miles came into
the game in the f{ifth inning
when Adams began to weaken.
The victory gave the Jackets a
split in the weekend series, the
Bulldogs winning the Friday tilt
7-6 over in Athens, with El
Maricich’s clutch hitting in the
last of the ninth inning bringing
the Bulldogs through to victory.
Georgia continues its bid for
bid for Eastern Division SEC
honors over in Athens on Wed
nesday and Thursday against
Kentucky’s Wildcats - and again
Friday and Saturday against the

Reds Penetrate
Ll
Shanghai Defense
SHANGHAI, May 14—(AP)—
The Chinese Communists, righting l
toward Changhai in confused and
fluid attacks, appeared tonight to
have penetrated the main defense
ring, less than ten miles from the
city at some places. (This dispatch
did not mention locations.) I
The Nationalist garrison report
ed all penetrations were “beaten
back” but acknowledged with
drawal from Kunshan, Taichang
and Kiating, which, for the past
week, had been the defense’s ad- ‘
vanced outposts northwest of l
Shanghai,
(The nearest, Kiating, is 14
miles northwest of Shanghai. The
Communist radio said Red troops
had captured all those points and |
also Lotien, only 13 miles from!'|
Shanghai and 10 miles west of ‘
Woosung. |
