...from behind to win. Four years ago, in 112 racing days, Baeza won 309 races in Panama. One happy owner sent him on a paid vacation to Florida. At Hialeah Park he met Florida Builder Fred Hooper, who let Baeza breeze one of his horses through a four-furlong workout. "What was your time?" asked Hooper when it was over. "Forty-nine." said Baeza. Hooper checked his stop watch: it showed 49½ sec. "You've got a job," he said. One out of Three. Few jockeys
...criticism was then raised that the coaching demonstrated a lack of individual attention. Throughout the past three years Mr. Wilson has reserved the first half hour of each workout for individual practice and instruction. He gave personal criticisms and suggestions at this time and often worked with one or two ballplayers in a small group. In the development of the California offense he continually suggested individual scoring opportunities which could be exploited within the pattern. The significant improvement in individual and team play through the year must be attributed in part to this personal instruction...
Nobody feels sorry for the Black Hawks any more. Chicago always had good stick-men and shifty skaters. Pilous concentrated on teamwork and hard-checking, hard-skating conditioning.

Caplin often lunches on Metrecal at his desk, always bends and stretches through a strenuous course of calisthenics no matter how late he gets home. "I lie in bed and count for him." says Ruth. "It does me a lot of good...
...rigors of spring training are still more than a month off, but baseball's geriatric wonder, St. Louis Cardinal Outfielder Stan Musial, 42, was already embarking on his own workout program by running a brisk mile twice a week. Then "The Man," who hit a blistering .330 last season (his 22-year average: .333), dropped by the Cardinal offices to make all the exercise worthwhile. He signed a contract for an estimated $65,000. "I never felt better," said Stan, "and that's hard to say when you're getting older...
