MATE AND SUN MEADOW TOP CHOICES IN $50,000 DERBY
15 Named for Test Bostwick Colt Is 2 to 1; Spanish Play Third Favorite. BY GEARGE KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 20.—Mate, Sun Meadow and Spanish Play were the favored contenders for the Twentythird running today of the $50,000 added American Derby, notorious for its long-shot winners. Many in crowd of nearly 50,000, which gathered at Washington park today, remember how Reveille Boy beat Gallant Knight, the favorite, by four lengths last year and paid $113.08 for each $2 mutuel ticket. In 1929 it was Windy City which upset the favorite, while in 1928 Toro triumphed over the favored Misstep. Hydromel won in 1927 and Boot-to-Boot in 1926. Three Are Doubtful Inaugurated in 1884 the American Derby was once the country's most famous thoroughbred race, but it was suspended from 1904 to 1926 when racing was outlawed in Illinois. Fifteen 3-year-olds, fourteen colts and one fi.lly, were named overnight to go to the post at 4:25 central standard time, but three of them, Royal Ruffin, Don Leon and Sunny Lassie, the lone filly, were considered doubtful starters. With the field reduced to twelve, the gross value of the race would be $56,700, and the winner would receive $46,703 and a silver trophy worth $2,500. The distance is a mile and a quarter. Two Stars Absent The nation’s classiest 3-year-olds, with the exception of Twenty Grand and Sweep All, were among the entries. Twenty Grand failed to accept the nomination after winning the Belmont stakes last week. Sweep all, second to Twenty Grand in the Kentucky Derby, bowed a tendon in e trial race Tuesday and probably will be laid up the rest of the year. Mate, carrying top weight of 126 pounds, ruled a 2-1 favorite largely because of solid backing from the east. Sun Meadow, which finished second to Twenty Grand in the Belmont stakes and beat Jamestown, was a second choice at 5-2. Spanish Play carried the hopes of the west and was third choice at 6-1.
Babe Ruth Says ST LOUIS, June 20.—1 have received a number of letters recently concerning my pennant predictions of a month ago. You may remember that I picked the Brooklyn Robins to win in the National League and the Yankees to finish in front in the American. I have not given up on either of these teams. I must admit that neither has done as well up ,to this time as I had hoped for, but there are still about three and one-half months to go and much can happen in that time. Either of these clubs will have a tough time because the Cardinals and the Mackmen have jumped away to such a good start. But these early successes are no guarantee of such high class play all through the season. Just think what happened a year ago. The Cardinals spent most of the month of June down in fourth place, while Brooklyn was out in front, with Chicago second and New York third. Few people then would have picked Street’s team to finish ahead of the three clubs then out in front, but when world series time arrived those same Cardinals were representing the National League. In our league, the A’s were never very far out of the lead last year, though Washington and Cleveland managed to oust them for a few days. On the returns to date, there is no disputing that the A's and Cardinals have outplayed all the other teams in their leagues, but you know hitters have slumps, pitchers lose their effectiveness and teams sometimes go bad. And then these hot days and double-headers may prove the downfall of some teams lacking in endurance. IT is going to be a very tough fight in the National League. The reason is that the teams are nearer an equal in playing strength. In our league, the A’s lose very few games to the western clubs. Whether they are making a trip through the west or playing these clubs on their home field, the Mackmen seem to have little difficulty. Last year they won sixty-two games and lost only twenty-six to the combined four western teams, and this year they are having even greater success against these clubs. The A’s recently made a tour out that way and did not lose a game. Whatever trouble they run into is found in their games with eastern rivals. In the National League the Cardinals have no group of clubs which they can beat so regularly. When they come east they find trouble in New York and Brooklyn and now they also have the Braves to bother them. In the west, there is strength in Chicago and also in Pittsburgh. One club in each group does not come up to the normal but a National League club has no real breathing spell whether playing against either the east or the west. I look for the Pirates to get going soon and show something closer to their form of a year ago. Pitching is the answer to the present positions of the 1930 champions of the two leagues. Both the A's and the Cardinals have been batting quite a few points under their figures of a year ago but good pitching has more than made up for the difference in stickwork. Grove. Walberg and Earnshaw have done so well on the mound that the A’s did not require any great hitting and scoring to win their games. Grimes, Haines and Hallahan have been featuring for the Cardinals, and Derringer, a newcomer to the league, also has been quite helpful. WARSTLER AT SECOND Shano Collins, manager of the Red Sox, who has been experimenting a great deal at second base to find someone who could play the position acceptably, placed Rabbit Warstler, originally a shortstop, at that bag. and the former Indianapolis hero made good quickly, in sensational style.

Cubs Display Old-Time Power in Opening Tilts of Eastern Tour
BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 20. Fears that the Chicago Cubs, after a rather unimpressive home stand, would see their 1931 National League pennant hopes fade on their current eastern invasion, apparently were groundless. With Manager Rogers Hornsby back in the lineup, recovered from a hitting slump, the Cubs have displayed their old time power in the

U. S. C. Star Equals Century Mark: Williams Is Poor Fourth. BY RONALD W. WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, June 20.—Frank Wykoff of the University of Southern California, ranked today as the unofficial world's 100-yard dash champion after a thrilling victory over Percy Williams of Canada in a pre-Olympic meet in the coliseum Friday night. Running against Williams in a field of seven starters, Wykoff never was headed as he sprinted to the tape in 9.5 seconds, equalling the official world’s mark held by Eddie Tolan of Michigan. He was 1-10 of a second short of his own unrecognized world mark. Wykoff was pushed for seventyfive yards by Emmet Toppino, Loyola of New Orleans, who finished second. Cy Leland, former Texas A. and M. sprinter, ran for the Olympic Club of San Francisco and finished third. Williams, contrary to expectations. trailed badly and was barely able to finish fourth. The race rounded out a season of victories for Wykoff and stamped him as the leading candidate for dash honors in the 1932 Olympic games, to be held in Los Angeles. Another personal victory went to Vic Williams, also of U. S. C., when he beat Ben Eastman, his Stanford rival, by three feet in a special 440-yard run. Williams’ time was 48.4. The meet, a preview of what Los Angeles may expect in 1932, was brilliantly staged and . included, in addition to other track and field events, wrestling, boxing, tumbling and polo. Approximately 50,000 persons, including several motion picture stars, were attracted to the stadium. HARVARD BEATS YALE By United Press NEW LONDON, Conn., June 20.

The triumphs have been impressive because they marked the return of Hack Wilson to batting form.

Ed Dudley Tops Open Jock Collins Sets Course Record With 67,. Gains Second. By LESLIE HARROP United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI VALLEY GOLF CLUB, DAYTON, 0., June 20.—The pick of the field teed off here today for the treacherous third round of the Western Open golf championship—the round that usually names the winner. Big Ed Dudley, the sauntering golfer from Wilmington, Del., was in front by virtue of two under-par rounds, which gave him a twostroke advantage over his nearest competitor. Next in order came Jock Collins, Dayton, who regained his hold on the course record in the second round, bettering by one stroke the 68 carded by Walter Hagen on the opening day. Von Elm Third George Von Elm, Los Angeles, despite a splintered thumb which hampered his short shots, was able to place third with 142. Next came the veteran Hagen, who played a ragged second nine to finish with a 75 and a total of 143. Tied with him for fourth place were Gene Sarazen, defending champion, and Olin Dutra, Santa Monica, Cal. Bob MacDonald, Chicago, and Jule Ackerbloom, Little Rock, Ark., had 144. Mortie Dutra, Long Beach, Cal., had 145, and Emmet French, Southern Pines, N. C.; Clem Weighman, Portsmouth, O.; Denny Shute, Hudson, 0., and Lou Waldron, Celina, 0., scored 1465. Scores of 156 and better were included in the pairings for the final round of 36 holes today. Collins Sets Record Dudley rang up the longest string of birdies of the tournament with under-par figures on four holes Friday He was unstead on the first nine, but recovered in championship style on the last nine. Collins’ record round of 67 might have been better had he not failed on three putts of less than two feet. He slapped his Irons straight to the pin and putted consistently on most of the holes.

Oral Hildebrand went the distance on the Tribe mound Friday under the lights and help the Cream City boys to five hits. Emmett McCann, the new Tribe pilot, was in the contest up to his ears, collecting three hits, one a homer with two on the paths, and at first base Emmett turned in a whale of a game. He batted In four runs. The Indians launched a surprise attack in the opening round and walloped Claude Jonnard, former Tribe hurler, right out of there before he could get the side out. A tripble by Montague, walks to H. Fitzgerald and Walker, and singles by Sigafoos and McCann and a double by Narlesky hit Jonnard a ton and he was relieved by Mervin Ferrell. Ferrell was a puzzle and put the big check to the Indians’ bombardment, allowing only two hits in 6 and 2-3 innings. He dropped out for a pinch hitter in the eighth and Garland (Gobi Buckeye, the huge southpaw*, tried his arm against the home nine and got battered for three runs. Singles by Sigafoos and Narlesky were followed by a drive to the flag pole by McCann, who made the circuit of the bases standing up. Hildebrand mystified the Brewers under the lights and registered eight strikeouts. Art Shires going down three times.
