Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 19.—Colone’ Bones —Who was that dream I aaw you with at the Derby? Colonel Trombones—That was no dream, that was a night mare. There isn't much more to say about our pal Tannery. He was second breaking from the stall gates, third going past the clubhouse the first time around, second starting up the back stretch, and from then on he was nowhere. All that I can say for him is that he had honesty in his heart and larceny in his soul. He gave the dreamer a run, but mostly it was in the wrong direction. a a a The only roozolalion I can offer (he followers of Ibis source of occult information is that I will not make public an y more of my spiritual reyelations. TransCressin* this promise. I shall do so with the aid of anew mattress or anew midaiglit diet. a a a At any rate, it appears that I can be plenty wrong guessing these things with mv eyes open or shut and if that Job is still open in the pickle factory where my genius as an outstanding sculptor of warts was generally recognised. I can use It. Certainly as an expert. I am of little help to an eager and expectant community. a a a Asa matter of truth It was strictly a one hoss race. The Fox was much the best animal. It may be true that he hau nobody to beat but It Is equally true that he lost no time or spent very nttle cr.irgv beating the field. Sande got him out In front going down the back stretch and from then on It was a cake walk. a a a What astonished a lot of peoole. including Earl Sande and Trainer Fitx, that the Fox. once in front, kept on running. This is contrary to his usual dispostion. He is the Jack Sharkey of the 3-year-olds. He refuses to give you any more than he has te. I mean to say that after he has taken the lead he no longer la Interested In the proceedings. a a a •TjE started to quit on me after XJL we turned into the stretch,” said Sande. *'l could see that two other hosses (they were Gallant Knight and Ned 0.l were drawing up on us and drawing up fast, so I gave him the whip, just a short, quick smack, and immediately he changed from a hesitating Jog into a fast sprint and kept it up until we got home.” a a a The time for the mi.s and a auarter was 8:07 3-5. which was slow, and an indication that there was little class to the winner or the field. I asked Sande about this. “Time in any race is important, but we could have one faster. I didn't want to take the lead when I did. but you have to let this hoss run his own race. If I had given him the whip earlier we could have taken two or three seconds off the time anyway, maybe more. - ’ a a a And a~. it was your slumbering correspondent can testify that the Fox cairn prancing down in front with a lot in reserve. He was in a mild gallop when he passed the tall black and white pole, which is the payoff line at the Churchill Downs track. a a a THERE S no telling what kind of a hoss the Fox is. In many respects ne is the most unusual noss that has come to the races in a number of years. He combines the homespun qualities of a truck hoss with the racing ardor of a thoroughbred. a a a Unlike many great bosses of the past he is not interested in running. Not in any sense can he be called an artist. He Is lazy, unimaginative and without a compelling sense of ambition. This year, he has won three of the biggest rolt stakes in America—the Wood Memorial, the Preakness and the Derby and In each of these it has been necessary to wake him up and make him go. a a a His one redeeming feature has been that once awakened he gets up and goes. To many people this is the mark of a real champion, and for all I know the Fox may be just that. At any rate he has developed the habit of being first and in this day and time, that seems to be a pretty fair habit. N. D.

ROBINS CLIMB FROM CELLAR TO TOP IN 21 DAYS

Lead After Two Wins Over Phils Brooklyn Proves Surprise Team of National League Race. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY I'nited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 19.—From the cellar to the National League lead 1 in twenty-one days is the amazing ; record of the Brooklyn Robins, the biggest surprise team of the 1930 senior league pennant raca. Occupants of sixth place for the last five years, Brooklyn suddenly has been whipped into a dangerous pennant contender by Uncle Wilbert Robinson, whose job as manager hung by a thread during last winter’s legal battle wi'.h Judge Steve McKeever, one of the team’s stockholders. Lost Seven Out of Nine Brooklyn lost seven out of its first nine games. The Robins found themselves on April 28, when they beat the Giants in the ninth inning, 6 to 4. They won seven straight games from the Giants and Cardinals, and then they hit a snag at Chicago, dropping three in a row to the Cubs. Undismayed, the Robins righted themselves again and won three out of four from Pittsburgh, two straight from Cincinnati, dropped a game to the Phillies, and then ascended to the lead by beating the Phils in a double-header Sunday, 3-0, 7-5. Brooklyn has occupied every place in the National League standing this season. Elliott and Wright Star In the last official averages, through Thursday’s games, Brooklyn was second to the Giants in batting and second to Cincinnati in fielding. The Robins’ team records for twenty-four of the twenty-eight games follow: Batting G R H HR RBI PCT. 24 164 396 20 155 .329 Fielding G PO A E DP Pet. 24 645 313 26 23 .974 Two of the features of Brooklyn’s drive for the top have been Jumbo Elliott’s sterling pitching and Glenn Wright’s stellar shortstopping. These two players were worthless to Brooklyn last year because of illness and sore arms. Elliott only pitched in six games last year, winning one and losing two. Already he has pitched in eight games this season, winning three and losing cne.

Knights and the Ned O.s of the gasoline sport are receiving the major portion of the atteniton these days while the jockeys, attired not in silks, but in greasy overalls and sweaters, toil with wrenches in place of whips. Leaden skies broke loose early today and showers doused the two-and-a-half mile brick oval, slipping the bars down on those drivers who had intended to spin around the track this morning. Sentiment among the railbirds and pit fans seems to be fairly well equalized and there isn’t any one driver who has been catapulted into the role of popular favorite. The Duesenbergs seem to hold the edge with the fans and with the star array of drivers, who will pilot the local built creations, backers of the Duesies are optimistic. Three of the aces who will pilot Duesonbergs are Peter De Paolo, Bill Cpmmings and Babe Stapp. De Paolo won In 1925 and in that race set the record for the 500-mile grind, 101.13 miles an hour. Pete is one of the most popular drivers In the business. Cummings, the youthful Indianapolis sensation, who will make his first start in the Indianapolis race in one of De Paolo’s two cars, will get plenty of support from the local fans. One of the two cars entered by the Duesenbergs will be piloted by little Babe Stapp. who has a heavy foot and knows how to jockey cars around the bricks. All three are fast drivers and should their sturdy mounts hold up will be right among the front runners at the end of the grind. Millers Sell McMullen B,u Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 19.

Twin Bill on Sunday Is Divided Tribe and Colonels Stage Swatfests; Indians at Home Tuesday. Bu Times Special LOUISVILLE, May 19. dividing honors in a wild double header Sunday played under storm clouds and during a steady drizzle. Indians and Colonels were to meet in the third and last tilt of the series out at Parkway field this afternoon, and tonight the Tribesmen will go home to battle the Columbus Senators at Washington park Tuesday. The Tribe's home stand beginning Tuesday will be for two series, with Columbus and Louisville, after which the Corridenites will go to the Buckeye capital. Managers Corriden and Sothoron were puzzled over their pitching selections for today, owing to the fact each club used six hurlers during the Sabbath twin bill, the Colonels winning the first fracas, 11 to 6, and the Indians the second, 14 to 11, the nightcap being an eight-inning affair halted by darkness. Base Hits Galore Both games were slugfests, with the Hoosiers collecting fifteen hits in the opener and nineteen in the second contest while Louisville slammed out seventeen safeties in one fray and fourteen in the other. Old Ben Tincup who relieved Deberry in the first battle got credit for the victory and it was his fifth triumph of the season against no losses. A crowd of 7,500 turned out despite rainy weather to see the old rivals battle and as a mark of tribute to the league-leading Colonels. High class hurlers who failed to last in the two hectic struggles were Cvengros, Deberry, Burwell, Penner, Polli and Williams. And Claude Jonnard was batted hard. Gets Seven Blows Howard Freigau poled seven hits in the two games, getting four in the opener. A remarkable catch by Hoffman on a drive by Layne in the seventh stanza of the second tilt had much to do with saving this contest for the Indians. The blow was to deep center and retired the side with one runner on base and after the Colonels had pushed over seven runs during the rally. Managerial strategy won for the Indians in the eighth of the night cap. With two out Williams walked two Hoosiers and Hoffman and Freigau singled. Connolly was nominated to bat for Monahan and Deberry was called in to relieve Southpaw Williams on the Colonel mound. Thereupon Manager Corriden withdrew Connolly and inserted Alex Hooks, who tripled to deep right, oprinz was retired, but that blow by Hooks put the fracas Just beyond reach of Louisville, who scored two in their half of the inning. Bill Burwell got credit for the victory.
