It would be the race of the year, what with Stagehand and his whooping I cough. Seabiscuit with his housemaid's knee, Lawrin with his fallen arches, and War Admiral with his "owner's fright” ... to make it perfectly fair, a veterinarian ■ could do the handicapping . . . suggested handicaps: Stagehand — i three pounds of quinine and an ice pack . . . Seabiscuit —one crutch 1 and a heating pad . . . Lawrin— I two corn plasters and an instep brace . . . War Admiral—a certi- ■ fled check, as that seems to be the | only thing that will make his own- | ers start him. j Until I heard that radio broadcast from St. Andrews on Saturday I had always believed that the British led the league when it came to being modest in victory ... but in their jubilation over winning the Walker cup for the first time in history, our dear cousins let their bangs down and did 1 as fine a job of gloating as you ever heard . . . typical remark of the broadcaster: "I trust you will | pardon me if I read the British scores first, because our scores were so definitely superior” . . . and . . . “we have so often read articles in American newspapers asking what is the matter with British amateur golf ... I hope that your papers today are asking what's wrong with America’s amateur golf?" This sort of thing went on until dark, and it doesn’t get dark until nearly midnight in St. Andrews

There is a general store in the little North Carolina community of , Ivanhoe that flourishes although there hasn’t been a customer inside the place in five years. This establishment, owned and oper- ' ated by Charles Corbett, typical small town merchant, is so jammed with merchandise there is no room for customers. As a result, Corbett takes the orders on the front porch and then squeezes through 1 i the piles of boxes and bales to fish out whatever is desired.

It was the first time the Cubs j have had the privilege of looking ! down at the other seven clubs and i it climaxed a drive begun on May 17 when they were in third place—(6% games behind the pace-setting l Giants. They began their spurt by licking the New Yorkers two In a row, then went on to win 13 of their last 17 starts. This, coupled with the 'Giants' six game losing steal:, turned the trick.
