...Slavic and German communities along the U.S. "polka circuit," nobody has to be told about Frankie Yankovic and his five-man polka band. In a year they play as many as 275 one-night stands in theaters, clubs and dance halls from Scranton, Pa. to Girard, Kans., and from Calumet, Mich, to the Ohio River. In big towns on the circuit, they have been known to outdraw such name bands as Guy Lombardo and Vaughn Monroe 2 to i. In small mining and farming communities a Yankovic appearance can bring out a crowd that is twice the size...

...Calumet, which had also failed in 1947 with its great gelding Armed, Trainer Jimmy Jones had no excuses, and for the horse that has never run worse than second, he had no apologies. At the weights, Citation ran a great race. Still, Jones thought he might be "losing a little of his enthusiasm for racing. He doesn't seem so anxious as he did when he was young...

...Florida's Hialeah Park last weekend, another Calumet favorite flopped at 7-to-10 odds. Coaltown, co-holder of the world record at a mile-and-a-quarter, showed a flash of early foot in the $50,000-added Widener Handicap, then flattened out like a claiming plater. He finished next to last, beaten ten lengths by Royal Governor...
