HOLLYROOD SUSAN EXJ ST put down the name Hollyrdod Susan for future reference. That name belongs to a trotting Ally which won the Fasig Sweepstakes on Tuesday, feature of the Grand Circuit card at North Randall track, Cleveland. She “broke” in the first two heats but won the third and fourth. In the third mile Hollyrood Susan clipped a second off the record for tpe stake, negotiating the in 2:o3.B—which is stepping SOME. Now, this in itself, may not seem so important, but when connected up with other things it is of vast moment in the harness race world. Even before Tuesday’s sen,/ .national effort Hollyrood Susan was a favorite in the $75,000 Hambletor ian Stake at Syracuse, N. I, State Fair the week of Ang. 30 —the richest harnessevent ever held in this country. In a special exhibition race over the Lexington, Ky. track a week or so ago the filly defeated the almost invincible Station ■ Belle, another Hambletoniaji candidate, with ino strenuous effort. The | time was 2:061-2 —remarkable so early in the season. Immediately Hollyrood Susan became a favorite for the big feature at Syracuse. Os course, many tilings can happen between now and Aug. 30. But one thing is certain; if Hollyrood Susan stays sound she will be able to step a mile around 2:03 or better on the day the Hambletonian is trotted. And that is good enough to cop the rich event. There is quite a story connected with all this. J. L. Dodge, the well-known Grand Circuit reinsman who breeds and races his own horses, became the victim of a malady several years ago and his doctors gave him just so long to live provided ho did not live an outdoor life. Being a natural Ipver of the harness horse and haring the means to satisfy liis desires he took up the sport and “came back.” He established at Groveton, Ga., the famous Hollyrood Farm, where many of the Grand Circuit’s greatest have been bred. A similar farm was set up at Lexington, Ky. Hollyrood Susan is the daughter of the once world's champion, Peter Volo, -and Holyrood Polly. Right now the filly, undoubtedly, is the outstanding star among the 3-year-old trotters on. the “Circuit.’! • * * See where Jack* Dempsey is to take the air. He is going to pitch his training camp near Denver, 9,000 feet above sea. level on Cheyenne Mountain. The air is as thin up there as of the fight stories put out. Maybe Jack wants to reduce and believes the thin air wilf'do it. Just what he is training for is more or less of a secret to most folks. It is doubtful if the champion knows. • * # A ROUGH PARTY mT’S a “rough” game—this golf-—especially at the Scioto Country Club at Columbus, Ohio, where the national open championship meet starts on Thursday. From all accounts the golfers are worrying about the rough of the course. In fact it has several of them terrified. One must remain on the fairway at Scioto. High, tough, wiry grass is waiting to catch the hooks and slices. Experts who predicted that 290 would win, after seeing the grass, added on about eight strokes. The course is long, too, with a measurement of 6,563 yards. Even with long drives needed, it is believed that somje will use irons on their tee shots to keep the little balls in the straight and narrow path. Yes, sir, this open golf tourney is likely to develop into a rough party. * * * There may be a subway strike in New York, but Carl Mays of Cincy is having no trouble with his subway ball. He defeated the St. Louis Cards on Tuesday, letting them have only five hits. As far as strikes go—Mays did not strike out one batsman. Mays let Ills team-mates do the work and ably assisted them by handling eight chances himself. * * * The featherweight crown must have rested heavily on Kid Kaplan’s head. He passed it back to the N. Y. commission, of which body he had obtained it in an elimination tourney. The action undoubtedly will start many would-be champs .clamoring for recognition. There are quite a few good little fellows in the ring and another tourney would bring out a classy field. * * * WHERE’S CHAPIN? AjMQNG the ni*e players selected by the 'United States u_J Lawfi Tennis Association as the “nucleus” of its Davis Cup team two were not lit the first ten\of the 1925 national ranking. George Lott Jr., es Chicago, and Edward Chandler of California, did not receive ranking in the first flight last year. Both have been showing great form this season. Additional players may be added to the list during the season it was announced. We know of one that could be added right now without a kick from this section. His name is Alfred Chapin of Springfield, Mass. He has won two meets in which Lott was entered, the Western and Illinois State. In addition to William T. Tllden, William M. Johnston, Vincent Richards and R. Norris Williams the Davis Cup selection committee has recognized as eligible for consideration Howard Kinsey, Cranston Holman, Edward Chandler, Wray Brown and George Lott.

Kaplan Gives Up Crown
Bv United Press NEW YORK, July 7. —Tho world’s featherweight championship was in a muddle again today as a result of Louis Kid Kaplan’s action in uncrowning himself. Kaplan, ‘who recently tightened his hold on the title by beating Bobby Garcia, announced he was no longer* able to make the weight and in the future Vould fight as a lightweight. The championship thus reverts back to the New York boxing com mission which awarded it to Kaplan after the elimination tournament. Another championship tournament seemed in prospect as a result.
