Well, if Donald believes that, j and feels that the V. 8. flannel| fewer will repulse the Australians , in Philadelphia later lit the sum- ; mer. I know where he can make | himself some very robust bets • . ■ I I'll take live on Bromwich, Qttist j and Co.. mys--ls. even with the U. 8. supplying the foot fault judges . . . The city of Baltimore rates a salute for the fair treatment It hands Preakness visltdrs . . There , is little or no raise in rates for rooms, board or transportation . . . A reader writes In with a sugge* tlon that a good way so baseball to honor Its Inventor. Abner Doubleday, would be to make his name & part of the game's language and refer to doubleheaders as j "Doubledays." The suggestion is hereby turned over to Steve Hannagan and associates who are publlclilng baseball In this. Its 100th year . . . "Sunny Jim" Fittsimmomi ha*. been working with horses ever since he was 13 when he started ! riding winners at the old Sheeps-' head Ray track . . .

He got knocked all over the plac- In the Wood, i the derby and the Preakness, but one of these days he is going to ' hare good racing link and win himself a big stake . . . Wonder if there is any truth to the report that Tennessee si ready has signed to play In the Orange bowl In Miami next January and won't be open for blds to the Rose or Cot ton or Sugar bowls? . . . Don’t he surprised If th- • Preakness Increases Its purse to ttno.ooo next I year and joins the Santa Anita handicap aa racing's most golden gallop . . . The slx-dsy bicycle race Is on again In Madison Square Carden, and the man who said the only thing wrong with the j race la that It Isn't held on a 1 straightaway track leading due west. Is still right . . . Cone with •he Wind's beat-seller record was endangered today with the appearance from the press of Joseph G. tamovan's "Galento the Great." the authorised story of two-ton Tony . With no Intention of bellttllng Carl Hubbell's oomeback victory over the Phillies 1 would . like to point out that the victory doesn't necessarily mean that the meal ticket's arm Is okay again., because Carl has always been able to beat the Phils simply by walking out on the field ...
