Top Flight, Faireno Favorites in Classic 30.000 to See 3-Year-Old Stars Battle for $70,000 Turf Prize at Arlington; Gusto, Stepenfetchit and Osculator Threats. B'j t n’trd Per* , CHICAGO, July 16—Outstanding 3-year-olds in training lined up today for the $70,000 added Arlington classic before a crowd expected to reach 30.000 at Arlington park race track. Top Flight, C. V. Whitney's pretty little filly, and Faireno, William Woodward's colt with the Belmont. Shevlin and Dwyer stakes to his credit, were joint favorites for the world's richest 3-year-old race. Each was quoted 5-2 in the morning line. Thirteen were named overnight to start in the mile and a quarter race, but scratches were expected to reduce the field to ten or eleven. Big Brand, Sazerac and Sunmelus were considered doubtful starters. Indications were the race would develop into a five-cornered fight between Top Flight, Faireno, Gusto, Stepenfetchit and Osculator. Top Flight, unbeaten 2-year-old champion last year, has won three consecutive races since she was beaten in her first 3-year-old start in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica in April.

Eighth ear-Old Florida Diving Star Steals Swim Spotlight

BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Preft Staff Correspondent TONES BEACH. NEW YORK, July 16.—A little springier springboard ** and sports writers covering the women's Olympic swimming and diving championships here Friday have had one sweet yarn. For if the beard from which the fancy divers somersaulted and catapaulted themselves had been a little more limber, Marv Hoerger of Miami might well have earned a place on the United States team. And if she had —boy, what a pip of a story it would have been! Mary is 8 years old. She's just a baby—three feet, ten inches tall, and weighing about sixty pounds. And those sixty pounds probably cost her a spot on the squad. No matter how hard or how high she jumped, the springboard just wouldn't bend enough to give her the proper height for her dives. \ T et, despite this handicap, Marv’s dives were pretty slick Not pretty slick for a baby, mind you, but for anybody. And she did ’em all—jack-knives, back somersaults, running half twists and spinners.

If you're wondering why the A.s are sticking up in the American League, here's the big reason. The 1931 batting champion, A1 Simmons, apparently has regained form after a miserable start. He got three homers Friday and a double.

As she came out of the water after her last dive, I walked up to Mary. a t a a a a a “TF you’re a newspaper men,” she said, before I opened my mouth, “you’ll A- have to see mama or Steve, my coach. I'm too little to talk.” So I found “mama” and “Steve." This is Mary's first meet, but she didn't get nervous. She is in the fifth grade at school, and has been swimming all her life. Well, most of her life anyway, having paddled forty feet when she was 11 months old. Mary, however, isn’t the pride of the Hoerger family. It’s Ruth! Ruth is Mary’s sister, and is 9. Ruth would have been here but for an attack of the flu. Mary's specialty is the ten-foot springboard. Ruth scorns the low places, and goes in for the high platform work. Thi.% means Ruth climbs a ladder thirtythree feet into the air, and then takes off. And she’s champion of Florida juniors.

Hornbostel triumphed in one of the 800-meter heats and was a favorite today. Duane Purvis and Wilmer Rhinehart, I.

Performing against a stiff breeze, two world’s records, three Olympic records and one American mark fell in the struggle of 270 athletes to win berths on the Olympic squad. Out of this large field, a bare 100 men remained in the running for today’s finals. Tolan Is Sensation Leo Sexton, N. Y. A. C., produced | the first thrill when he set anew i world’s record in the shot put. His mark of 52 feet. 8 inches, bettered the former mark by one-half inch. John Anderson, Sexton’s teammate, followed this with a discus throw of 165.54 feet. The breeze aided him. however, in beating the world record of 163 feet 8;i inches. George Saling, lowa, skimmed over the 110-meters hurdles in 14.6 seconds, 2,10 of a second better than the American record and equal to the 1928 Olympic record. Eddie Tolan, Michigan’s Negro sprinter, was the talk of the meet. Against the wind he covered the 100-meters in 10.4 seconds, which equalled the world record. Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette’s new Negro star, was expected to encounter hard competition,from Tolan in the 200-meters dash today. Tolan had little difficulty pulling away from Frank Wykoff, United States cadet, and Emmet Toppino. New Orleans, in the century. Hs coasted in second to Hector Dyer Los Angeles, in the 200-meters. Bill Carr, Pennsylvania, was a decided favorite to deieat Ben Eastman, Stanford, in the 400-meters spring. Carr won his heat in 47.6 seconds. Eastman covered the distance in 48.8.. “Eastman needs two weeks rest to put him in top form,” his coach, Dink Templeton, declared this morning.

Gossip of the Indians

By Times Special I MINNEAPOLIS, July 16. The Milwaukee Brewers, in third place are only a game and one-half back of the second-place Indians. The Home Brew's, like the league-lead-ing Millers, are flourishing on their home lot. * * * On the morninr of Jolr 4 the Indian* were in first place. Now they are trailing in second by five games. Their road trip record is six games won and seven lost. The Millers ‘ started to go'* just as soon as they arrived home and it is evident they mean to pile up an enormous lead before hitting the road again. a a a Errors and walks are proving costly to the Hoosiers. Thev are not getting the breaks and any kind of a crack in their defense usually means disaster and walks usually are followed by base hits on the part of the enemy. a a a Taitt was caught off second Friday in the midst of a rally in the fifth and that break just about saved the game for Minneapolis. Moreover, in the same inning, Wingard hit into a double play. Three

CHICAGO, July 16.—She loved him, she said, so much she wanted to shoot herself—and him, too. That’s why Bill Jurges, Chicago Cubs shortstop, refused to testify against Miss Violet Velli Popovich on charges of assault to kill here Friday. So today, she’s free. And Jurges is recovering from two wounds, in the hand and side, which he received when he said he was trying to stop her from committing suicide. Violet also was shot in the hand. When asked about her blighted romance, she said Friday: “I'm going home. I owe it to my self-respect to forget the whole matter.”
