TIRRIN’I the DOPE By VEDDKR GARD

§75,000 HARNESS RACE ■— ■ T4G l-ichest harness race . J meeting of all time is _£J scheduled at the New Yofk State Fair at Syracuse, N. Y., the weeg of August 30. Purses aggregating $156,000 will be distributed. The feature of the Grand Circuit program at Syracuse is the Manibletonian stake for three-year-old colts and fillies with a value of $75,000. It has taken , mere than a century of organized harness horse racing in the United States to produce finally the largest purse ever offered for a single event. Only once before in the history of the sport has a purse anywhere near these proportions been offered, that being the $50,000 American Trotting Derby at Readville, in 1908. In 1924 the $25,000 American Pacing Derby at Kalamazoo was started. But with all due respect to the big purses of the past and present, none probably ever caused the commotion stirred up by the $75,000 Hambletonion. The Indianapolis Grand Circuit meeting whichopens at the State fairground track on Labor Day is somewhat dwarfed in comparison with the Syracuse program, but there can be just as interesting sport here although it is impossible to put up such large purses. A real line on the entrants for the_ Hambletonian cannot be obtained until Grand Circuit racing 'jgetfe under way at North Randall track, Cleveland, on July 5. Then the horses go to Toledo, where several of the outstanding ones will be seen in the matron stakes for 3-year-olds. Then will be time enough to try and draw some conclusions as to the probable winner of the big race. Right now among those who know something aobut the harness performers one can hear the names mentioned of Station Belle, San Juan, Josephine Volo, Hollyrood Susan, Hazleton, Yuma, Tom Bradley, Red Etawah, Polly Peachtree and others. But it is all very much of a guess until they are seen in actual competition. One thing is certain. There will be plenty of high-class entries. Horsemen are not in the habit of passing up fortunes which dangle before their eyes. • • * mT is very seldom that the champion is the under-dog 1n a fight, but such is the case in the Rocky Kansas-Sammy Maipdell lightweight title bout in Chicago on Saturday. Mandell is ‘a v 2 tQ-4'choice among the men who like tb. lay down the lettuce. Everyone figures that Kansas is so ancient that he is likely to crumble into dust like the onehoss shay. The champion's only chance seems to be to get In a haymaker early. Mandell probably will pound away on Rocky enough to win on points. The fight doesn’t look like anything to get vary much excited about. . '}£■'j * * * Louisville must have some Englishmen on the ball club trying to emulate their brothers over-seas who play cricket. That 24 to 3 socre piled up against Columbus on Tuesday was as nothing compared to cricket. A match is now being played between Australia and England. The first inning ended 475 to 385. Hobbs, the Babe Ruth of cricket, made 119 runs before he was put out, 1 * • • Looks sort of strange for the Giants to be down below the .500 mark in the National Leagbe. Probably McGraw was thinking too much about real estate holdings, leasee, mortgages, etc., this last , winter and not enough about his other chattels, the ball players.

Pete Latzo, welterweight champion, formerly was a miner at Scranton, Pa. He hits like a ton of coal. Ask Willie Harmon; he knows. • * * SHE Pittsburgh Pirates don’t seem to know much about the “submarine ball” as <shed up by Carl Mays. The Clncy underhand hurler has stopped the Pirates four times out ■ of five starts this year. In. the series which closed Tuesday he beat them twice, once on Saturday at Pittsburgh and again on Tuesday at Cincy. He is the pitcher Manager Hendricks wanted to release a short time ago. Another player who hung on with the Reds at the start of the season just by the skin of his teeth is playing great ball now. He is Prank Emmer, shortstop. You said it. Baseball is a funny proposition. You do or you don’t. * * LAMBERT. Purdue, yy University basketball coach, i—-J will be in charge of a two weeks’ basketball coaching School at Lake Manitou, Rochester, Ind., Aug. 9 to 21. Indications point to a good attendance of Indiana high school mentors. The date was made in August so that the coaches could combine business with pleasure and have a two outing at the same time they took the course. Lambert for the past three years has been on the staff of the University /of Illinois summer school, working along with Craig Ruby, Illinois coach, in giving basketball instruction. HOUSER IN TITLE MEET Bu United PreTs NEW YORK, June 30.—Local headquarters of the A. A.

CHICAGO ALL EXCITED ABOUT ITS FIRST BIG FIGHT IN YEARS

WELTER CHAMP IS WINNER Pete Latzo Shows Punch in Knofcking Out Harmon in Fifth Round. By Paul W. White, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEWARK, N. J., June 30.—Pete Latzo, who trained for the welterweight championship by digging coal in a Scranton (Pa.) mine, was hailed today as a titleholder who has one of the hardest punches of any of the little men. Latzo in his first appearance sirtce winning the crown from the stouthearted Mickey Walker, knocked out Willie Harmon in the fifth round here Tuesday night with a left to the jaw which put the New York challenger asleep for fully three minutes. After idling for four rounds the champion let loose In the fifth and a stinging right to Harmon’s body dazed the contender. His eyes lost their sparkle and he danced groggily around the flashing Latzo. Pete coolly followed up his advantage and with a left to the jaw which shot through so suddenly few around the ringside saw It start, he rattled the frame of Harmon. Willie wobbled an instant and then crashed to the canvas, oblivious of tree shouting which hailed the new ring hero. Carried to his corner by the champion, referee and his handlers, Harmon was administered restoratives and came out of his trance fighting and shouting for action. It was the first time in his long career that Harmon ever had taken the full count.

Huge Crowd Expected Next Saturday to See KansasMandell Title Scrap. By Bert M. Demby United Press Staff Corresnondent CHICAGO, June 30. —EWty thousand fight-hungry fans are expected to jam their way into the White Sox Park Saturday afternoon to see Rocky Kansas, world’s lightweight boxing champion, defend his title against the onslaughts of Sammy Mandell, Rockford, 111. Kansas Is in wonderful condition. Folks hereabouts had figured that Rocky was sort of a decrepit old man—until he came here. / Vet Shows Speed It took Rocky just about tin minutes to dispel these ideas. He stepped out with a couple of rouhds of real speed and the railbirds immediately dropped the odds tfiat had rated Mandell so highly. He also looked to be within the 135-pound weight limit. Mandell is in the best condition of his life and his work at present consists of little other than keeping on edge. Sammy has taken quite a load on his shoulders regarding the financial end of the bout. He guaranteed Rocky $50,000 to fight him. In return for that guarantee he is to get 56 per cent of the gate receipts. If that 55 per cent amounts to more than $50,000 it belongs to Sammy. If there is a deficit that also belongs to Sammy. Moose School Benefit The other 45 per cent is to go toward erecting a gymnasium at the Loyal Order of Moore School for boys at Mooseheart, 111. \ Sammy Is the favorite here. At one time the odds were up around 2*4 to 1 but they have dropped from that figure. The experts figure that If the fight goes six or seven rounds Mandell will win In a walk. However, there Is quite, a little apprehension lest Rocky lands one of those "Haymakers” that he brings up from the floor with either hand.

That was a 'W'fM red-letter day *'sJ

THp day I discovered the tidy red tin was a red-letter day for me* Up until that time, I was fairly well satisfied with my smoking tobacco. At the suggestion of a friend, I tried a pipe-load of his Prince Albert. More to please him than for any other reason. Little did I realize then what a big favor he was doing me. I’ll never forget that experience. Here I was, a seasoned smoker (as I thought), learning something new about tobacco. Why, that very first taste won me. Still, I wasn’t hasty. I tried another load to be certain.

Cool contentment in every perfect puff. Get some P. A. today.

INDIANS IN COLUMBUS FOR THREE-DAY STAND Crippled Tribe Wins Three of Five in Toledo When Speece Turns in Victory Tuesday.

By’’ winning, 9 to 2, at Toledo, Tuesday, the crippled Indians took the series from Casey btengel'a Hens, three games to two. The Hoosiers moved to Columbus today to open a three-day stand, after which they will go to Louisvfile and begin a round of four battes with the champion Colonels, Saturday. The Tuesday fit at Toledo was a seven-inning affafr in which Bp|?ece pitched good ball and obtained fine support despite a make-...ft line-up caused by injuries. First Baseman Holke and Outfielder Matthew^ were out of action -and Shortstop Shannon played only a few Innings. * was necessary to use Outfielder Russell at first when Miller took Shannon’s position. Darkness and rain cailled a halt to hostilities Tuesday as the Hens finished their half of the seventh. Black clouds and thunderstorms made playing difficult and Umpires Murray and Connolly ended the fray at that point. Elmer Yoter was a star In the Tribe attack wdth a single, double and triple and Reb Russell hit ft home run and single. The Tribe hit total was thirteen, collected off Pfeffer, Maun and Ryan. Ten safeties were obtained off Speece, but he kept the Hen hits scattered and two double plays helped Him. The Tribe’s "fat" inning was the second, when six runs scored on four hits and three errors. Indianapolis has defeated Toledo nine games this season against three losses to the Hens. The record against the Senators Is eight victories against one defeat, and that's the team the Indians were to play today. The Hoosiers have threq games in Columbus, finishing there Friday. Then on to Louisville! A number of Indianapolis rooters will make the trip to the Colonel city to see the Tribe in action against the league leaders Saturday, Sunday and In two games Monday afternoon. Manager Bush is recovering fijom an operation for appendicitis, and is home. Carmen*' Hill’s wife is very

ill, and the mainstay pitcher hss had Insufficient rest recently. First Baseman Holke, Outfield Matthews and Shortstop Shannon are crippled. With those handicaps to battle, the pastlmere deserve much credit for being 'where they are in the pennant race. What was that over in Columbus Tuesday? Was it baseball, or “old cat?” Louisville, 24; Columbus, 3. The Colonels have no mercy on the feeble.
