Toronto, April 30--(CP)--Coach Mike Buckna of the Czechoslova- kian Olympic hockey team .may owe his life today to the fact that a few "second guessers" continue to remain behind "the Iron Cur- tain." A native of Trail, B. C. Buckna was fired after the "experts" held that the Czech team should have been ordered to attack at all costs in the Olympiad instead of. stag- ing defensive hockey against the champion R.C.A.F. Flyers. , At a recent meeting of the Can- adian Amateur Hockey Associa tion, John (Bunny) Ahearne; sec- retary of the British Ice Hockey Association sald that Buckna was "lucky to be fired instead of dis break out of the gate to see which can get there fastest and all in one piece, Wright said both jockeys Eddie Arcaro with Citation, and Newbold Pierson aboard Coaltown, would be sent out to win for dear old Calumet. He didn't care which got there first, just so one of them brought home the $83,400 pot, value of the race with six starters. This will be the smallest field since six ran in 1907. Odds Are Low It might be well to mention the fact that four other pretty fair country horses have more than an tside interest. obably everybody in Louisville can spell their names correctly by now--Ben F. Whitaker's My Re- quest, William L, Branw's Escadru, R. W. Mcllvain's Billings, and Mus. John Payson Adams' Grandpere. Gg vn (above) is shown crossing the finish after staving off the "Mount Marcy", a 40-1 shot, who ran second. More than 48,000 race fans saw the thrilling finish of the feature race, the closing rush of Woo emorial, at Jamaica race track in New York.

The appar- ent Calumet "Monopoly" and small field may cut into the gate. Seven names were dropped into the entry box yesterday for the $100,000 three-year-old classic, but Galedo's bounced right out again in a late afternoon scratch. Calumet Favorites This was just incidental, for a couple of half brothers from Calu- met farm named Citation and Coal. town remain the major attraction. So much so,-the Churchill Downs management decided against place and show betting.

Big Wrestling Show On next Tuesday night, May 4th, one of the regular old-time, big-top shows will be staged at the Osha- wa Arena under new auspices and management. Pat Milosh, popular former boxer and wrestler, and son of one of the Casino Restaurant owners, working in conjunction with Frank Tunney, the well-known Toronte Maple Leaf Gardens wrest- ling impressario, will be promoting the bouts. This is no "amateur" show. Tunney's World Champions As is well known, Tunney's wrest- lers are on a circuit which not only comprise Toronto Maple Leaf Gar- dens, but includes Madison Square Gardens, New York, Boston Arena, Boston, Mass.; and the Forum, ] Montreal. In view of the arrange- ments made by Milosh with Tun- ney, the latter has undertaken to bring te Oshawa the best wrestling talent that has been appearing on that inter- national circuit and many will come direct from Maple leaf Gar- dens.

Referees, Talent, Support This can be achieved only by ob- taining first class referees, top- notch wrestling talent, and a rea- sonable degree of co-operation on the part of wrestling fans. The pub- lic must be given a "good run for their money," and this is the: very objective that Milosh and Tunney have set out "o accomplish. Oshawa is no. kindergarten one- ny EA 4 ¥ horsed wrestling town, but a big- 'time city, and its wrestling fans in- sist upon top billing and top per- formances. Fantastic promises which have no hope of being realized will be eliminated. Wrestlers whose names have been advértised on the prcgram will appear to fulfil their engagements. Good Faith Essential Keeping faith with the public will be the aim of Milo and Tunney. Wrestling fans are fully aware that in admittedly professional sport, money talks loud and long. And money can be obtained only from the revenue of a good wrestling "gate." Wrestlers like.

The manner in which they can be best fulfilled is by a fair share of pat- ronage accorded by Oshawa fans to the honest-to-goodness efforts of genuine promoters. 0sh Means Business Milosh is a wrestler himself, learned the rules of the game and knows how to play them; and prop- erly supported by Frank Tunney and his stable of wrestlers, there can be no doubt that he will be in a positien to deliver the goods to the Oshawa public in approved style.

The guess was wrong, for Shut Out, the other half of the entry, came Arcaro Bids For Fourth Derby Win WHIRLAWAY 1941 charging through the stretch and won by two and one-half lengths while Devil Diver ran a bad sixth. And here we are again, with Ar- caro ready to ride the "big" horse of the Calumet Farm, Citation, and the other half of the entry, Coal- town, being ranked as a mysterious threat to Citation's status. Coaltown, to be ridden by Leroy Pierson, turned in another of his amazing performances at the Keene- land finale the other day, blazing hisway to a new track record over the mile and one-eighth distance, just an eighth-of-a-mile short of the Derby route.

He is tied with Isaac Murphy, a Negro, who rode winners in 1884, 1890 and 1891, and Earl Sande, triumphant in 1923, 1925 and 1930.
