Breaks of the Game. Promising yearlings sell for $20,000 up, and at last summer's Keeneland sales a colt was auctioned for $170,000. The horse has to be stabled, fed, trained to race; at big Eastern tracks that costs $15 a day. The vet collects $10 or so to give the animal an aspirin, and the blacksmith charges $18.50 for a set of shoes. A man could be out of pocket $100,000 or more by Derby time for his three-year-old.

Presiding over the 25th annual pistol match between San Francisco's Olympic Club and the U.S. Naval Air Station at Alameda, retired Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 79, World War II commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, took a Colt .45 automatic in hand to fire off an "honorary" clip of five at 25 yds. Rooty-toot-toot, he scored three bull's-eyes, two near-misses, promptly tucked the target under his arm to take home, "because my wife wouldn't believe it if I just told...
