KETCHIKAN PREAKNESS IS ALWAYS BIG EVENT Rain or Shirfireal Horse Race Always Packs Them In In the spnrts fan’s book Lou- isville means Kentucky Derby, | Pasadena stands for Rose Bowl, | Indianapolis is synonymous with the Memorial Day auto | race. Baltimofe has a “place ih | the book with its Preakness, the Maryland city's big spofts event. Here's how the city be- haves on that big day, | By MASON BRUNSON AP Feature 'Service | BALTIMORE, Md., May 8.—Staid old Baltimore lets down its hair once a year and goes daffy over a horse race—the Preakness Stakes. The Preakness 1s wmiaryland's proudest, oldest, richest race—dat- ing back to 1873, two years befove the first Kentucky Derby was run. The - Golden Jubilee running of the classic on May 11 is expected to draw more than 40,000. Rain for the past two years has cut down attendance, but even so, more than 30,000 fans brayed wet, chilly weather in 1939 to see W. L. Brann's Maryland-bred Challe- | don splash in ahead of five rivals, including the favored Johnstown. Everybody who can goes to Pimlico on Preakness day—the rest listen to the race by radio in barrooms, pool hall, hotels, apart- ments and mansions. Bookies, who still operate against the law in Baltimore, do a land- office business with stay-at-homes. Marylanders make up most of the track crowd but New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Wash- ington, Richmond and Louisville send thousands. The list of boxholders reads like a who's who of the racing world. There always fs a generous sprinkling of celebrities from all fields. ‘. Here are a few hints for you if you're among those expected this year. Traffic’s Terrific Traffic on Baltimore's narrow streets is terrific. You'd better start for Pimlico early. or you might not get there. Just about every cab driver in town heads for the track, usually taking four customers at 50 cents a head. You can get to Plmlico by street car, but it's a long and tedious ride, As a general rule, prices don't zoom in Baltimore for the Preak- ness. You can get hotel accommoda- tions easily afid reasonably by’ wir- ing a few days in advance. Some people get them at the last min- ute, but usually all accommoda- tions are taken the night ‘before the race, A ood room costs $3 or 4. At the Preakness, as at any othér Maryland " horse ‘race, the No. 1 drink is Maryland rye, usu- ally straight. Plenty of beer mugs are tilted, too. A couple of years ago, coinci- dent with the first Preakness ball, there was a contest for a new drink — the Preakness cocktall. Bartenders submitted recipes and an official bhoard tasted the entries. The winner had a base of Mary- land rye—and the general effect of TNT. (You can still get a Preakness cocktail. We advise it afterward, if you want to see the race. Best place to get it is at the Emerson Hotel, whose bartender, George; concocted it. Price, 35 ‘cents.) Plenty of Racing There is no other sporting event to go with the Preakness but the Maryland Jaogkey ' Club’s Preak- Freeburn, formerly president of the Pyramid ‘Packing Company and a nephew' of James Freeburn.
