TURF FANS MEET AT CHICAGO TODAY Chicago. July 13 — (U.R) — Striving for the title "beat three-year-old of the year." seventeen of the turf's aristocrats will nieet here today in the 175.000 American classic. As some 60,000 persons gathered at Arlington Park, six horses were looked upon as the probable leaders. These Included Clyde Van Dusen. Kentucky derby winner; Dr Freeland. Preakness victor; Blue Larkspur, regarded by many as the best "fast track" colt of the year; Rose of Sharon. Great Little Filly, Windy City. American derby winner, and Grey Coat, good easterner. Perhaps the most colorful horse In the race is Rose of Sharon. The filly has not won any of the really big races but that fact can’t, be held as a pacemark for her time lias been devoted to competing in the Oaks races for fillies. Four victories in the Oaks stands Rose of Sharon as the best of the girls. Rose of Sharons running promoted Macy to back her today for there were those who wanted consistency and the colts have been anything but consistent. Roses brothers have beaten each other so often that even should one of them win today it would have but a flimsy claim at best on the three-year-old title. On the other hand, If Rose wins her claim will be clear, creating for the first time in many years a queen of the turf Instead of a king. There was another switcli in the betting last night when it was learn ed an abundance of sand in the Arlington track created a possibility that the course, a quagmire only yes-1 terday morning, might be fast by this; afternoon. The betting chance re-installed Blue Larkspur as favorite at odds of 5-2. Rose was second choice at 3-1 and the odds on her still were going down. Clyde Van Dusen. Kentucky derby winner, went up to 4-1 and Grey Coat was quoted at 8-1. Windy City, Dr. Freeland, and the three D's stock farm entry were quoted at odds ranging from 5-1 to 8-1. The race brought the greatest array of jockeys Chicago has seen in years Mack Garner came from New York to ride Blue Larkspur; Pony McAtee will handle Clyde Van Dusen; Earl Pool wjli pilot Windy City; Charley Allen will ride Rose of Sharon; Steve O'Donnell will look over the ears of Grey Coat and Tony Pascunia will pilot Folking. o “Laureation” By the ancient Greeks the laurel was called daphne and was sacred to Apollo. Berry-bearing twigs of ten were wound around the foreheads of vtctorlus heroes and poets; and in later times the degree of doctor was conferred with this ceremony, whence the -term, laureation. That’* Ju»t the Trouble The main difficulty about people who borrow trouble is that they want to pay hack more thr.n they borrow— Grand Rapids Press.

SPEAKING OF SP®RT * BY FRANK GETTY

"Local Girl Makes Good" i Helen Wills is sailing for tome to-|i day bringing with her all the European tennis trophies she was able to lay her hands on. A goodly number of cups and saucers and heterogeneous bric-a-brac will grace the mantles of the Wills' home out In California —or has the date been set for our champion to marry and start a little museum of her own. One can just Imagine the fuss in the old Wills homestead when room has to be made for the new trophies. But Mrs. Wills is a fond mamma, and she will make room somehow tor her chick's latest contributions. It's rather too bad they do not allow women to play on the Davis Cup teams. Helen might have brought back the famous international team trophy along with the rest of the silver. Californians are proud of Miss Wills just as Georgians are proud of Bobby Jones. Each of these local prides has been doing so well for so long, one might imagine that pride would begin to yield to habit. Such is not the case. The pride of the Californians is a sturdy perenniel, and Helen will be welcomed home as “our girl who made good.” Bobby At It Again As for young Mr. Jones, he announces an ambitious program If he wins at Pebble Beach next September, he will go to England in the spring of 1930 and seek both the British open I •nd amateur golf championships. A few years ago it was thought im-

Ind., July 13 —(U.R)—Neal Mclntyre, Indianapolis, is the new open golf champion of Indiana. Mclntyre was low for the 72 holes with an aggregate of 283 while Ralph Stonehouse, also of Indianapolis, finished second with an aggregate of 284. George Lance. Terre Haute, was third playing the 72 holes for an aggregate of 285. The championship was in doubt until the final round, Mclntyre showing sensational golf to emerge the I victor. Seventy of the eighty-one starters | finished the play.

possible for one man to hold the amateur and open titles of both Great Britain and the United States, and no one even aspired to do fib. Now, however, with the competition so much keener, comes a golfer who not only hopes to win ali four championships within the space of a year, but lias a mighty good chance of doing so with a little assistance from lauly Luck. Luck In Golf Golf is a game in which luck plays a pronounced part. Usually it is pronounced fervently. Good players like Jones are constantly battling to keep luck at a distance. They'll take care of their shot making without asking for assistance. What they don’t want is the bad luck that sends the well placed, hard hit tee shot kicking off from some slight mound and trickling into a trap. Os course, that's what the traps are there for. But to get back to Mr. Jones, Georgia s pride. Bob said upon his return to Atlanta he expected to try for the British open and amateur crowns next spring. First he must win at Pebble Beach, and he figures there are a number of amateurs who might beat him there. George Von Elm, for example, and George Voigt. If Jones gets past the. amateur test In California this fall, he needs only to get on top of his game to win another open championship. The top lof Bob’s game Is just beyond the reach of any other goiter now sporting knickers.

Watching The Scoreboard Yesterday’s Hero: Melvin Ott, whose triple with two out in the ninth inning at New York, enabled the Giants to tie Chicago at three runs and go on to victory in the 10th. The Giants fourth and winning run came in the 10th when Travis Jackson. first man up, hit the first ball pitched for a home run. Pittsburgh won its sixth straight victory by beating Philadelphia, 6 to 4. at that city. Burleigh Grimes was hit hard but managed to keep the blows divided. Brooklyn staged a six-run rally in the ninth to defeat St. Louis, 8 to 7, at Brooklyn. The score was tied at two runs at the end of the eighth but I Dazzy Vance folded up in the ninth | and allowed five Cardinals to score. Brooklyn, undaunted, countered with! six runs. Cincinnati won an eleven inning game at Boston, 4 to 3, scoring two runs in the ninth to get its chance at victory. The Philadelphia Athletics took two games at St. Louis, by scores of 10 to 0, and 8 to 2, to increase their lead in the American League by half a game. Lefty Grove blanked the Browns with five hits in the first game. The New York Yankees pounded Ted Lyons and Danny Dugan for 15 hits and beat the White Sox. at Chicago, 12 to 2. Herb Pennock allowed nine hits in winning his fourth straight. Cleveland posed out Washington, 3 to 2, in a closely played game at Cleveland. The Senators got 12 hits off Shaute but were able to bunch them only In the second when they scored both their runs. Detroit scored four runs in the last of the ninth to win a weird game from Boston, at Detroit, 13 to 12. Boston held a five run lead going into the last of the sixth but the Tigers tied the score with a hitting spree. The Red Sox again pulled away but the ninth inning rally beat them.
