GALLANT FOX MAY SURPASS RICH TURF EARNINGS OF ZEV

Three-Year-Old King Will Go After More Big Coin on July 12 American Classic at Arlington Will See Woodward Phenom Facing Barrier; Dwyer Victory Saturday Taken in Easy Fashion. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 30.—Gallant Fox, unbeaten 3-year-old champion of 1930, appeared more certain than ever today of eclipsing the record earnings of Zev on the American turf before the end of the yar. By winning the Dwyer stakes Saturday at Aqueduct, Gallant Fox added *11,500 to his earnings and now stands seventh among the leading money winners of the American turf with a total of $210,230 in his less than two yaers of racing.

Gallant Fox is still $103,409 shy of Zev's record of $313,639, but William Woodward’s racer will make his nevt start in the American classic at Arlington park Saturday, July 12, and if victorious will move into second place among the money winners in this country. The American classic carries a purse of $70,000 added, and an additional SIO,OOO for any horse that has won any of the important 3-year-old events—Belmont, Kentucky Derby, Preakness and American Derby. Gallant Fox, with Earl Sande up, has won every start he has made this season, capturing the Wood Memorial, Preakness, Kentucky Derby, Belmont stakes and Dwyer stakes in that order. In justice to Gallant Fox, it must be said that he packed 126 pounds, sixteen more than Xenofol, and had no trouble answering one of the few challenges he has received this year. Sande has not yet fully recovered from an injury received when he was unseated from Distraction about two weeks ago. To many it appeared that Sande, not Gallant Fox, was the tired one at the end of the race.

Babe Ruth Says

NEW YORK, June 30. “Why is it,” writes a fan, “that players on rival clubs, fighting for the pennant, can hob-nob together when the two teams meet?” The answer to that one, so far as I am concerned, is “why not?” Don't misunderstand me. There’s plenty of rivalry between big league ball clubs and out there on the playing

field there are plenty of harsh things said, plenty of displays of real temper and feeling between the players on the rival ball clubs. But when the game is over frequently you will

see the rival players leaving the clubhouse together; you’ll see them chatting together and swapping jokes and one thing and another. And to my mind that's a great proof of real sportsmanship. When players can learn to battle each other to the finish on the field' when they can learn to take their wallopings as they come and keep fighting; when they can argue and fight for every point during the game—and then forget petty arguments and remain friends after the game is over, I think real sportsmanship is proved beyond a question. Nat. .-ally there are feuds that develop between players in baseball just as there are feuds in ice hockey, or football, or other sports. But

these are rare exceptions. For the most part the big league ball players of today have learned to take the breaks as they come; to do their fighting out there where fighting counts, and then forget the battles when they’re finished. After all there’s no reason why rival players shouldn’t be friends the same as rivals in ether business. Just because lawvers are on opposite sides of a case you don’t expect them to battle time they meet. Rival bankers sit down to lunch together, play golf together and live in peace and harmony. Some old-timers pine for a return to the old days—but personally I’m just as well satisfied with the new game where women can come to the ball park and enjoy baseball; the game that is played without bickering and argument and hatred. It certainly is a better game for the fcids than it used to me. There certainly are a higher type of people coming out to the games. Players’ attitudes have changed toward the game and toward each other. So I’m willing to take it as it is today and forget the old fighting days' that the old timers write about. Understand that’s just my personal opinion. (Copyright, 1930. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate and The Indianapolis Times! RICE ON RIPPLFICARD Y. M. C. A.

Gallant Fox’ most serious rivals for the American classic appear to be Gallant Knight, second to "the Fox” in the Kentucky Derby, and William Ziegler’s Spinach. The last named has been training nicely and is almost certain to be shipped westward for the classic. Gallant Fox not only has a chance to surpass Zev’s high mark, but to take first place among the leading money winners of all countries if he remains sound of limb and wind. Although the mark is questionable because it was figured on the basis of five francs to the dollar when france were worth much less, the French horse. Tsar, is credited with earning $335,340, top figure of the turf. The leading money winners of the American turf follow: Zev, $313,639; Display, $256,373; Exterminator, $252,596; Man O’ War, $249,465; Sarazen, $225,000; Blue Larkspur, $220,420; Gallant Fox, $210,230. Besides Gallant Fox, only Display, now 7 year old, and Blue Larkspur, 4 years old, are still active.

DID YOU KNOW THAT—

ONE of the reasons why Bucky Harris left Washington and went to Detroit was Joe Cronin. . . . Bucky always thought Joe was a great ball player . . . but Griff wasn’t so hot for him. . . . The rift that ensued between Griff and Bucky gradually grew. . . . And Joe’s great work this year makes Bucky look pretty good. ... Joe won’t be 24 years old until October. .. . He's a San Francisco boy, and Pittsburgh had him up twice, finally selling him down the river to Kansas City. SHINE IN PARK RUN Kemp and Clapham Post New Record for Course.

AFTER twenty-seven years, maybe more, but that is the age of the Coffin golf course to our understanding, history is still being made on the popular municipal links. In all the years that the course belonged to the Highland Golf and Country Club and since it has been taken over by the city, which is ten years, never has the eighteenth hole been the target or the scene for a “hole in one.” o t* * A husky poke from the tee might get the player on the green in one, out the distance is such that players hardly can be expected to aim for the pin at 270 yards. Sunday. Dr. W. R. Bohen was paying a foursome with E. E. Swanson, Dr. F. L. Cooper and P. Newman. Bolen had a 45 out and was trying to beat, that coming in and break 90. Stepping up to the gutta percha, he gave it a wallop with a driver and away went the pellet into the can. That gave ‘‘Doc’’ a 45-44—89. n tt The first pro-amateur since the state open was held today at Terre Haute, over the country club course and quite a delegation of local pros and simon pures took the seventy-mile hike. it tt tt RIVERSIDE eased out a ninepoint victory for a seventeenman team at Riverside Sunday, the victims being the Grandview municipal links squad of Anderson.
