Claude Jonnard was knocked out of the box, and in the third inning the Indians drove Tony Polli to cover. Victory to Tincup Hildebrand relieved Jonnard and Ben Tincup relieved Polli, the veteran redskin receiving credit for the victory, and the defeat was charged to Jonnard.

‘Fox’ Not to Run in Cup Race 3-Year-oid Champ Is Given Letup in Training; Goes to Saratoga. l " NEW ' ! YORK. July 16.— Gallant Fox, the champion 3-year-old, will be given a letup in his strenuous racing campaign and will not start in the Arlington cup at Chicago Saturday, Trainer James Fitzsimmons said today. Gallant Fox is in first-class condition. Fitzsimmons told the United Press, deprecating reports that the horse had grown sulky and was staling off. ‘He has had a long campaign.’’ Fitzsimmons explained, "and every horse has to have a rest at times. He has been in steady training since last March. "We probably will ship from Chicago to Saratoga, Saturday. His first race there probably will be In the Travers, on Aug. 16, which will get him a month's letup. "He will have plenty of chances to meet older horses. The Saratoga cup probably will furnish him a real test against the older division.”
