Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 9.—1 do not need any one to tell me that the practice of gambling Is a vicious, sordid thing, and that people who bet are shameless characters fated to no good end in this idealistic world —but when a fellow goes to bed, as a fellow sometimes inadvertently will, and dreams he is at the track and a stranger comes up to him and says bet on so-and-so in the fifth, and so-and-so gets away running and wins from here to the saltwashed shores of Bombay—ana I *ay when a fellow does that and some hours later at the breakfast table between the bromo seltxer and the black coffee he notes In the mornint paper propped np against the Ice water pitcher that so-and-so Is entered in the Derby and the odds on him in the winter book are fairly attractive. a a a Well, I sav a fellow is a sucker if he doesn't call up Jake and get a little bet down because vou never can tell how things will work out and a tip that comes to vou through the troubled haze of an undigested welsh rarebit Is iust as llkelv to prove authentic as not. if not more so. V a a a WHILE I am not exactly what you might call avaricious, I do not believe in protecting my investment, and for that reason I do not feel disposed to reveal the identity of my dream steed on which I have twenty smackers riding. I mean to say I can not afford to start a rush on the books which not only might reduce the odds and thus discourage further investments on my part, but which might lead to unscrupulous manipulations by professional sharpsters designed to i interfere with the normal running of the race. a a a Os eour-c a day or so before the Derby I shall make known the name of my steed ao that my thousands of admirers ! will b able to share in the plunder. In withholding the name of my beetle for the , present I do not wish to appear selfish. It is not often that one gets Information from the relestlal feed bo* and when one does a certain discretionary <tlence is advisable because as I say there is always danger of fraud and deception in propositions of this sort. a a a Before sending the dough in I had intended to consult a dream analyst, but on reflection I derided this might be unwi.e. To begin with it would be necessary to disclose the mme of my goat and how would I be able to tell that the dream analyst wasn't a bookie or a big operator in disguise? Also there is the possibility that I might be touted off. and then what would I do for a yacht and a cottage at Southampton this summer? a a a BESIDES such a procedure would not have been fair to the kindly stranger who stole through the j mists of my fretful sleep and gave me the key to fabled wealth. Faith- . fully now do I subscribe to the old adage, never look a gift race hoss tip in the mouth. So the money is up, and when my plug comes bounding down in front of Gallant Fox and the rest of those bums at Churchill Downs a week from Saturday I will have plenty of that ready, and before I leave the track j I will go up to the handicappers, the dockers and the system players and laugh. a a a Os course I would feel more comfortable ff Earl Sande was going to have the leg ; up on mv alredale. Not that I have anv i serious doubts about winning, but I am j pulling for Sande to ride his third i Derby winner and thus equal a per- i formanee that has been done only once In j the hlstorv of the event. It's a tough : break for him that he Is to ride the ' favorite instead of mv nag. but there is | nothing I can do about it beyond ex- j pressing mv regrets.

LEADERS FACE RUNNERS-UP IN IMPORTANT SERIES

Athletics Entertain Cleveland Giants Defend Lead Against Cubs; Third Place Clubs Threaten. h NEW ' ; yORK, May 9.—Major league baseball today reached the “crucial series” stage with the leadiijg clubs in the two leagues inaugurating four-game series against runners-up for honors. Philadelphia's world champion Athletics, now leading the American League flag chase by a half-game margin, will entertain the second place Cleveland Indians, while the New York Giants will invade Chicago to defend their .011 point lead over the Cubs, 1929 National League champions. The Philadelphia-Cleveland series promises to be bitterly contested. The Indians have set a fast pace this season despite injuries to many regulars, and appear likely to furnish the Athletics’ with their most dangerous competition for the 1930 pennant. While leaders in the two leagues are engaged in cut-throat competition they face additional threats from the third place clubs which are within striking dstance of the top. Pittsburgh is little more than a game behind the Giants and Washington is only half a game behind.

If the plan goes through Jere, Perry intends to install double the lighting power used at Des Moines and make other experiments that concern towers, lights and shadows.

Leon Duray Due in City Next Week Holder of Speedway Record for Trial Spin Seeks Mount. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Leon Duray, the man who has circled the Indianapolis Motor Speedway track at a faster pace than any other pilot, almost is certain to drive in this year's 500-mile classic, despite the fact that he has not, as yet, procured a mount. Duray probably will arrive next week and will look about for a car. Leon, in 1928, shattered all lap and qualifying records during the trials. The driving ace hurtled around the bricks at a record clip ot 124.018 miles an hour and when ne pulled into the pits a lap later, his tires were in shreds, cut to pieces during the sizzling run. A few minutes later, Duray flashed around the bricks for four laps at an average speed of 122.391 miles an hour, winning the pole position. In last year’s event, Leon was forced out of the running on the sixty-fifth lap when his motor stuck. Duray’s driving in his 124-mile-an-hour record-shattering lap was one of the most magnificent exhibitions of skill ever exhibited here. The two Coleman front-drives which will be driven by Phil (Red) Shafer and Lou Moore, are stationed in “Gasoline alley” and probably wii! be sent out sometime next week. Railbirds will see the real thing in race cars when the Colemans take the track. Odis Porter, veteran timer extraordinary. visited the track Thursday. The talkfest included comment on Kaye Don, motor boats, airplanes and Diesel-motored automobiles. Odie has nothing but praise for Don and said the Briton really did not have one day on which the Daytona Beach was suitable for a 200-mile pace. Deacon Litz also is in town. The big star of the gasoline sport who set a gruelling pace for forty-nine laps of last year’s race, is in fine fettle and eager to take to the bricks. He’s Just as eager to visit Tom Beal's stand every ten or fifteen minutes. With ten more subscriptions, bringing the total to thirty, members of the lap prize committee met this afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce to renew efforts to subscribe the $20,000 added lap purse for the race. The ten newest donors of lap prizes are: Marott Shoe Shop. Noblitt-Sparks Industries, Prest-O-Litc Storage Battery, L. Strauss & Cos.. Security Trust Company, Taylor Belting, Thomson & McKinnon, Vonnegut Hardware, Homer McKee Company, ail of Indianapolis, and A. C. Spark Plug Company. Flint, Mich.

TEN 3-YEAR-OLDS TEST GALLANT FOX IN $60.000 CLASSIC BY CHARLES M. EGAN Vnitcd Press Staff Correspondent BALTIMORE. Md., May 9.—The first of the 1930 season's big racing classics will be staged late today at the historic Pimlico track, with ten more or less ordinary 3-year-olds assigned to the task of beating Gallant Fox, rated as a possible champion. With all indications pointing to perfect weather conditions and a lightning fast track, 40,000 or more turf addicts will jam tljeir way into the grounds at Old Hilltop for the fortieth renewal of the $60,000 Preakness stakes.

If all eleven of the horses nominated overnight go to the post, the winning owner will receive a purse of $51,925. This is considerably less than most prizes of recent years because of the smallness of the field, and each withdrawal will reduce the value SI,OOO or more. The limited size of the field, the smallest since Man o’ War won in 1920, is due chiefly to the presence of Gallant Fox, the Beliar Stud’s crack son of Sir Gallahad 111. Gallant Fox appears to be too much for the other entries, all the more so since Which One and Boojum, the H. P. Whitney stars, and several other juveniles who stood out in 1929 haye not been entered. Many of the early arrivals among the big crowd, howeverf* were inclined to believe the Walter J. Salmon pair, Swinfield and Snowflake, may prove too formdiable for Gallant Fox, despite the fact the latter is favored by the No. 1 post position and has the peerless Earl Sande in the saddle. Swinfield turned in one of the most impressive workouts of the week when he went a mile galloping in 1:42 2-5 Thursday morning. Snowflake, the only filly among the eleven starters, will have a fivepound weight concession, carrying 121 pounds, while all the others are assigned 126. T. M. Cassidy’s Crack Brigade, which has raced impressively in its last two starts despite failure to win either, will probably rule second choice in the betting, with the Salmon Pair third.

Tribesmen Open Short Series With Brewers; Lose Thursday Five-Run Lead Fails to Put Indians Over in Miller Finale; Cvengros Gets Four Hits.

E,u Time a Special MILWAUKEE, May 9—Johnny Corriden had his Indians in the Cream City today to open a threegame series with the Brewers, and the Hoosiers were eager to make up for the two defeats handed them by the Berghammer pastimers during April in Indianapolis. The Tribe is even with the board in the A. A. standing, with eight victories and the same number of setbacks, while Milwaukee has won only six against fourteen losses. It was figured that Corriden would use Claude Jonnard on the mound in the series opener, and owing to the fact the veteran righthander was an ace with Milwaukee for a long stretch, more than passing interest was attached to the day’s performance.

Chief Swatters Falter; 12 Runners Left

B.u Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 9.—A fiverun lead piled up the first four innings eventually meant not a thing to the Indians here Thursday in the series finale with the Millers and at the conclusion of action the score board read: Minneapolis, 6; Indianapolis, 5. The winning marker was put over in the ninth, without the aid of a hit, two errors by Rabbit Warstler spelling the doom for Mike Cvengros and the other Corridenites The fact the Tribesmen had twelve runners left stranded helps explain the Hcosier defeat, for more than once the stage was set for a flock of markers, only to see the batter fall down in the pinch. Pa: ’ McCullough was the lifesaver ior the home nine, allowing only three scattered hits and no runs in the last four stanzas. And in the eighth round McCullough retired the side in order on strikes, whiffing Freigau, Kcenecke and Sprinz, Benton and Dumont were other hurlers used by Minneapolis. Cvengros weakened in the fifth after pitching superb tall for four rounds and a Miller rally bomoarded him for four and in the sixth Miller sent the sphere out

of the lot for a home run to tie the score. Cvengros is a rare pastimer for a pitcher. He can hit that hall and in four trips up Thursday combed the pellet for four singles. Sicking played great ball at second and collected three singles and Warstler poled a home run and single. Corriden's outfield failed him at the plate Thursday, only one hit being made by the squad of flychasers. Hoffman fanned twice with mates waiting to score. The Tribe hit total was thirteen, but no heavy production was supplied by the powerhouse positions in the batting order, numbers four, five, six and seven. It was a horseshoe triumph for Minneapolis, for the home nine made six errors.
