Coaltown would hot accompany Citation here for the tunning thetunning of the historic Preakness has proved encouraging to trainers of horses eligibfe for the Maryland Jockey Clubs mile and threesixteenths fixture who would much rather worry about one horse than two While Citation proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the better of the two colts it is quite obvious that owners and gainers of the other sophomores would prefer to run against Citation alone rather than hook up again with the Calumets onetwo punch In announcing that Coal town would not make the trip Irorri the Blue
