THOUSANDS OF TURF FANS ATTEND SARATOGA OPENING

Two Stake Events on First Card Gallant Fox Heads 2,000 Thoroughbreds at Famous Track. liv I'nltmt Perm SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., July 30.—Drawn by the lure of the sport of kings in its most picturesque American setting, thousands of turf followers were here today for the opening of the annual summer racing meeting. Headed by Gallant Fox, William Woodward s great 3-year-old, some 2,000 of the nation’s finest horses are quartered here awaiting the thirty-nine stake races with their more than half a million dollars in prizes. Opening day is featured by the Flush Stakes and the Saratoga Handicap, both $5,000 events. Saratoga, rich in tradition, holds a unique place in American racing in that it is the meeting ground for horsemen all over the United States. Ever since the Civil war it has been the one track where eastern, west- ; ern and southern owners might test j their horses against the best. Gallant Fox, undefeated to date as a 3-year-old, and fast nearing Zev’s winnings mark of $313,000, is the center of interest at the track. Since his arrival here the “Fox” has had little or no privacy. Men, women and children have been passing his stable in a steady stream for a glimpse /at the great runner. Gallant Fox will make one or more starts during the meeting and should he win the Travers, for which he is being pointed, and with the other stake, he will surpass Zev’s mark. Horsemen keenly anticipate the second meeting between Gallant Fox and his old rival, Harry Payne Whitney's Whichone. Vander Pool. Equipoise and Jamestown are three of the leading 2-year-olds who will show during the meet.

“WINE TWINS” OF MOUND

Luque, 39, and Jones, 38, Improve With Age

X IKE the rarest of old wines, they have become better with age. If you peruse the pitching records of the 1930 major league season, somewhere near the top you’ll run the names of Sam Jones and Adolfo Luque. One easily might name them the wine twins, for, by the use of pitching lore which they acquired when you and I were young, Maggie, they get better and better 1 , as a wine of rare vintage—if there is such a wine—develops its kick.

YOU may verify it in the record books that Samuel Pond Jones, bom in Woodsfield, 0., began his major league pitching career sixteen years ago in Cleveland. During the period prior to this season. Sad Sam pitched 168 victories and lost 153 games for the Indians, Red Sox, Yankees, Browns and Senators. Throwing out one season’s record with the Yanks when Sam led the league in pitching, his Washington per-

formances this season far overshadow anything he did previously. And Sad Sam was 38 years old on Saturday, July 26. The venerable Cuban’s record reads almost like that of Jones. He appeared with the Boston Braves back in 1913 and again in 1914, but each time he was returned to the minors. Then Cincinnati acquired his services in 1918 and in Red spangles has all of his major league pitching been

Camera Stops Cook in Second By United Press CLEVELAND, 0., July 30.—George Cook, the veteran Anzac, lasted just two rounds against Primo Camera, mammoth Italian boxer, here Tuesday night in a scheduled ten-round encounter witnessed by 10,000 fans.

done until the start of the present campaign. Although Luque showed a pitching record of exactly .500 with the Reds, an unusually disastrous season in 1929 gave Dan Howley reason to trade him. He was shipped to Brooklyn for players since released by the Reds. Meantime, Uncle Robbie becomes wreathed in smiles every time it is Luque’s turn to go to the mound.

Miniature Golf —No. 5 Place Putter Ahead of Ball in Getting Angle

TWO things are of primary importance in putting, disregarding the form used. One is to hit the ball hard enough to get it up to the cup and the other is to hit it straight enough so it will drop when it has gone far enough. Very simple. Nothing can be worse than hitting the ball so lightly that it doesn’t go far enough. It is a wasted stroke, practically. But getting away from that “never up—never in” idea, I can offer a method that will help the player to hit the ball on the proper line, to make it go straight into the cup, in other words. Simply place the putter on the ground in front of the bale and there fix the angle at which the

Barry Wood Jr. DO you know this young man?. He has been a tennis star of high ranking this summer. This fall his name will be in bold headlines because of his sensational football feats for Harvard. Sure, he is Barry Wood Jr., the forward passing, quarterbacking youth who cut such fancy capers on eastern gridirons a year ago.

ball must be struck with the club to make it go straight for the cup. After that, grasp the club with the customary grip, judge how hard it must be hit and then hit it that hard. Long ago I found how useful that method is. If you’ve seen a big tournament like the national open, for instance, you will have noticed that at least three-quarters of the participants do this same thing. For some reason it is easier, or most good players seem to think it is, to get the clubhead on the proper line by placing it in front of the ball than in placing it behind when addressing the ball.
