Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Saturday will be baby hoss day out at Belmont. What I mean to say is that the Futurity will be run. It is a race for 2-year-olds, and as the name implies, is designed to establish a line on the future greats. But somehow or other It seldom does. They hsve been running the futurity since Proctor Knott won and with two or three scattered executions the winner hasn’t amounted to very much. One of these exceptions, however, happened to be a sleek*looking youngster named Man O’War. of whom you may have heard. They tell me this youngster grew up to be aulte a successful man in his racket and that the Sam Riddles never regretted their investment. They bought him as a yearling for something like *5.000. A couple of veers later you couldn't 'have bought one of his old shoes for that. There haven't been many standout 2-vear-olds this vear. Not among the baby bovs at least. The best looker among all the kids is a gal. Possibly the Princess Eugeni fashions are to blame. At any rate, the Futurity favorite is C. V. Whitney's Top Flight, daughter of Dis Done and Flvatlt. nice respectable old hoss people, but modern enough In their views to let a daughter have her fling. The Whitney baby hasn’t been beaten In five starts. In a couple of races she Tan right over her boy friends and was back in the bam’sipping cocktails before they had crossed the line. Everybody around the barn says she's a right frisky little trick, a regular tom boy, but that there ain’t any real harm in her. and i that her pappy and mammy don’t have to worry. Well, it wouldn't be any great shock if the little gal stepped out and won Saturday. nor would it be anything unusual. A lot of other gals have won the Futurity. Including Hamburg Belle. Artful. Step j Lightly. Sally’s Aliev. Mother Goose and Anita Peabody. Anita—sweet kid, she i was, too—won in 1927, and was the last 1 of the gals to steal the show n a a IT costs an owner SI,OOO to start one of his babies in the Futurity. There will be close to twenty starters Saturday, and the total value of the purse will be around SIOO,OOO. For a number of years the Futurity has been the richest race in the world. Two years ago when Wichone won the purse was *105.730. Last year, when Jamestown won. It was worth $99,600. I never found out lust what made the race such a gaudy thing in dollars and cents unless it Is that the kids these days demand a lot of humoring. Asa speotacle and a draw, for Instance you wouldn’t put it up against the Derby out in Kentucky, or four or five other such races that the public has taken to its heart. Still, the futurity in a wav is in a class bv itself and It usually turns out to be a thrilling race. Once In a while it is attended bv exciting circumstances. As. for Instance, the year the racing officials declared Huron Ineligible and the late Jim Corrigan went to court and got a legal permit for the colt to start. Huron finished second in the race, but he might as well have finished In Kalamaozo for all the attention the placing Judges paid to him. Corrigan’s entry was blandly Ignored in the official result and a thing called Yorkvllle Belle was awarded the dough. Asa race the Futurity is always a thrilling event to watch but as I say it seldom gives you a reliable line on next year's 3-vear-old champion. Twenty Grand couldn't do any better than third last year, and if this guy Isn’t one of the greatest race hosses that ever munched an oat mv nkme is Mae West.

PERRY MENTIONED IN CONNECTION WITH GIANTS

Tribe Prexy Reported Dickering W ith McGraw New York Becomes Fifth Major Team Listed as Sought by Hoosier Magnate; Hickey Rules Out Wingard Deal; Campbell Downs Colonels Thursday. Following the victory scored- by the Indians in the series opener in Louisville Thursday, 2 to 1, other interesting items involving the local ball team cropped up to give the Tribe followers some fan fodder. .President Thomas J. Hickey of the American Association ruled out the Ernie Wingard purchase from Toledo, deciding it was against league rules, and following that surprise a rumor hit the air waves saying Norman A. Perry, owner of the Hoosiers, was dickering for controlling interest in the New York Giajits. Perry was in Louisville with the Tribesmen today and his assistant, Jack Hendricks, also was there. It has been presumed heretofore that Perry had in mind to buy the Cincinnati Reds. The Giants are the fifth big league club that Perry has been mentioned as possible buyer, the others being the Pittsburgh Pirates, Brooklyn Robins, St. Jxmis Browns and Cincinnati Reds.

It is said Perry has a date for a ( conference with Manager John McGraw of the Giants in Chicago next Monday. McGraw owns a few shares of stock in the New York team, Charles Stoneham being president and controlling stockholder. It would take several million greenbacks to obtain the Polo Grounds franchise. Koenecke Deal Conference Perry said he intended to sound out McGraw on the chances of breaking into the Giant stronghold in a big financial way. Another reason for the Perry conference with McGraw Monday is the Len Koenecke deal. The star outfielder was sold to New York for $75,000 in players, and the Tribe leader desires to obtain a line on the men McGraw plans to turn over to the Indians for 1932 delivery. In calling off the purchase of Ernie Wingard by Indianapolis, Prexy Hickey of the A. A. issued the following statement: “Under our league rules no player can be sold to another club between Sept. 1 and the close of the season. Therefore I have disapproved the Wingard sale as illegal. Later Deal Permissible “The waiver route is the drily transfer route by which a player can be sent to a rival team between those dates. I realize Indianapolis did not plan to use Wingard until next season, but the deal can not be permitted at this time. It will be legal to make the deal after the season closes if both clubs still wish to enter into the transaction.” By Times Special LOUISVILLE, Sept. 18.—Bunching three hits in the sixth stanza, the Indians captured a tight tilt from the Colonels at Parkway field Thursday, 2 to 1, Arch Campbell taking a mound duel from Joe Deberry, usually highly effective when opposing the Hoosiers. Campbell played an important part in the winning rally for the Tribesmen. After one out in the sixth he doubled and scored on White’s blow for two cushions. Lowell singled, scoring White, and this proved to be the victory run. The lone Louisville marker scored in the fourth round on Branom’s double and Dudley registered at the plate on Art Funk’s two-bagger after two down. Campbell was solved for nine hits, but worked out of several tough spots with his mates supporting him in fine style. Deberry held the invaders to six safeties. The teams remained idle today The Friday contest has been postponed until Sunday to (supply a double bill for the Sabbath fans. A single tilt will be played Saturday. By winning Thursday, the Indians stayed on the heels of the secondplace Kansas City Blues. The Cowboys downed the Brewers in both ends of a twin bill in Kawtown Thursday and bolstered their advantage in the runner-up position-
