WHEN THE BALLY GOT AWAY!

ASK SUNDERLAND IF DOHERTY ISN'T REALLY "PETER THE GREAT"

Genius is a word so freely bandied about these days, especially in sport, it's lost much of its worth.

Attaching to the name Peter Doherty, however, it really does mean something extra special. Amongst wonderful footballers, exceptional footballers, even brilliant footballers, Doherty still stands out as "Peter the Great.”

SPOTLIGHTING THE THREE-YEAR-OLDS OF 1954

Moonlight Express Must Be Placed At The Top

By JAMES PARK

Having dealt with all the leading colts in the Free Handicap, attention can now be turned to those who did not qualify for treatment by the handicapper. Pride of place must be awarded to Moonlight Express.

In this series I do not intend to delve into turf politics. It is well known that Paddy Prendergast, trainer of Moonlight Express, has had a ban placed on his acti- vities by the Stewards of the Jockey Club.

Gonzales Should Soon Rank and Saturdays, the ordinary way.

New York, Jan. 18.

Jack Kramer's professional tennis tour may droop a bit at the box office this year but it is likely to wind up as a great artistic success before of the "comeback kid"- Dick (Pancho) Gonzales.

Back on the boards, for the first time in two years, the giant Gonzales is as unpredictable as ever. But he also is better than ever and has the equipment to become top man in the series of short "tournaments" now under way with Pancho Segura, Frank Sedgman and Don Budge in co-starring roles.
