By Eddie Asia Now It’s ‘Bicycle Race of Century’ m m m Pedal Pushers to Tackle 4,000-Mile Grind

r J''HE bunion derby on wheels—the longest bicycle race in the world—is anew event for the United States and Canada hatched by the world’s fair at Chicago. Old-time bike riders are sure to give the marathon a lot of attention and speculate on the outcome and how long some of the pedal pushers will last out a blistering sun. It will be a trans-continental race through Canada and the United States and will start at Quebec on Aug. 1. Riders will cover more than 1,000 miles in 33 days. tt a an n tt SPEEDSTERS will go through Toronto. Hamilton, Sault Ste. Marie.

The Windy City is fixing a grand welcome and turnout for the wheelmen. There's always heart interest in a bike race, even at a county fair, for it brings back thoughts of days gone by w’hen the cycle speed sport was a reigning pastime. It's chiefly confined to professionals now, but still there are plenty of bikes around in the hands of youngsters.

Tribesmen Wallop Out Another Twin Triumph i ■ Indians Cut Loose for 24 Hits in Second Tilt at Milwaukee Wednesday: Play Finale There Today and Then Invade St. Paul. By Timrt Special MILWAUKEE, July 13.—After winning two successive double headers from the Brewers the Indians were to close their stay in Milwaukee with a single tilt today and then take a night train for the northwest, to begin a series with the St. Paul Saints Friday. Scores Wednesday were 7 o 3 and 14 to 9, and the twin attraction found the Tribesmen in a walloping mood that brought them eleven hits in the first game and twenty-four blows in the second struggle. There were so many base hits in the Wednesday nightcap battle that the scorers had a difficult time keeping their records straight. Lee, Callaghan and Angley each clicked off four safeties, and Johnny Cooney blasted out two doubles and a home run. Herman Layne also went in for extra base drives and combed a homer and double.

Pete Daglia was master of the Brewers in the Wednesday opener and was not solved for any runs until the eighth when the home nine finally broke through with three. Bill Thomas was knocked out early in the second contest and was relieved by Jack Tising, after which the rival clubs settled down to an old-fashioned slugging exhibition. Four Victories in Row’ $ The Indians lost four in a row before getting under way Tuesday 1 and now they have won the same number of games in succession. The Milwaukee pitchers were taken for a hard ride in the tw'o doubleheaders and three of the Brewer hurlers were used up in the last fracas Wednesday. The Indians “threw” rallies good for five runs in each game, in the second inning of the Wednesday opener and in the same stanza of the windup performance. Dudley Lee, Tribe shortstopper, w r as a thorn all day to the Brewers. He played hangup ball at his position and collected seven hits, three in the first clash and four in the second. He accepted fourteen chances in the field. Dudley also pilfered twice.* Angley Comes Through Tom Angley caught both games for the Tribe, and after going hitless in the opener, came through W’ith a tremendous comeback in the second encounter. The beefy backstop has been in a long slump, and if he is out of it the going won’t be so hard for the Killeferites. All of his four hits were singles, but robust Tom gave signs of swinging his bat as of old and is expected to break out any time now with a cluster of long drives.

BACK in 1928. Clark Griffith was hunting all over the lot for players to send to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Buddy Mver. Joe Cronin, a rookie shortstop, was one he had his eye on. But Walter Johnson, then the Senators’ manager, persuaded Griff to keep Joe. and Joe didn’t do a thing but become the best shortstop In baseball and succeed to Walter’s job as manager. Now Walter’s managing Cleveland, and here’s a recent picture of both characters in the drama.

Blondy Ryan Batting Only .194 —But How Those Giants Miss Him!

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 13.—1f, three months ago, somebody had told you the New York Giants’ pennant chances, if any, depended upon one Blondy Ryan staying healthy, you would have been justified in having your informant placed under lock and key on the ground that any one suffering from hallucinations offered a menace to the citizenry. Three months ago, Blondy of Holy Cross was as unknown as the seventeenth vice-president of the National City bank and when Bill Terry threw him in there at shortstop, Giant fans prayed that Travis Jackson’s tricky knee would soon permit him to get in the line-up. Now, they’re praying just the reverse—that the spike wound Ryan got on July 2 will quit giving him the miseries so he can keep the Giants from falling through the cellar. Our staff mathematician, who seldom is more than three games wrong, says that when Ryan went out of the line-up the Giants were six and a half games in front, and that today they’re less than half of that, having blown seven of the last nine.

CINCY RELEASES HIGH By United Pre CINCINNATI, July 13.—Andy High, 35-year-old infielder of the Cincinnati Reds, came to the end of his big league trail Wednesday when he was given his unconditional release by the Cincinnati club. High had seen service with various clubs during twelve years of major league play. His home is in St. Louis, Mo. High played with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1931 world series, joining the Reds the following season. Previously, he was with Brooklyn and Boston.

3-Year-Old Title at Stake in Rich Classic Outstanding Turf Stars to Battle in $35,000 Event at Chicago: Mr. Khayyam Is Slight Favorite but Gold Basis Shows Fine Form. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 13— Picturesque Arlington park, most fashionable race course in the west, again will be the scene of the deciding race for the 3-year-old .championship of the American turf when the $35,000 added Arlington Classic is run Saturday. Three out of the four times it has been held, the Arlington Classic has determined the 3-year-old title. The 3-year-olds who clinched their crowm in the Classic were Blue Larkspur in 1929, Gallant Fox in 1930, and Gusto in 1932. Every prominent 3-vear-old in training is entered in Saturday’s mile and a quarter. The only big stake winner out of the race is Colonel E R. Bradley's Broker's Tip. Kentucky Derby victor, retired by injuries.

With only one day intervening before the big race, the Catawaba stable’s Mr. Khayyam. Morton L. Schwartz's Gold Basis, the Glen Riddle Farm's War Glory, and Mrs. S. B Mason’s Head Play are considered outstanding contenders. The race is so open the favorite may go to post as 'nigh as 4-1. Gold Basis moved near the favorite's position Wednesday when he worked a mile and a quarter with 126 pounds up. five more than assigned him in the Classic, in 2 minutes, 5 4-5 seconds. Head Play lost some supporters when he pulled up limping slightly after his workout. Trainer Tom Hayes said Head Play was suffering from a bruised foot, but it wasn't serious enough to keep him out of the Classic. Mr. Khayyam, War Glory and Golden Way, owned by Joseph E. Widener, all arrived Wednesday from the east, and were to have their first wrorkouts today. All other eligibles. numbering twenty-three, already are on the scene. The race probably will attract a field of thirteen or more.

TO look at Ryan's batting average is to wonder why he means so much to the team. His percentage at the time Joe Medwick of the Cards gave him the steel, was .194. Now .194 makes a perfectly swell telephone number but is pretty sorry hitting. It’s afield that Blondy makes himself so important. Fast as a streak, steady as Gibraltar, and blessed with an arm like a rifle, it was Ryan w r ho made the infield tight as a kettle drum. If you don't believe it. just take a look in the error column of recent Giant games. With Ryan out, the Giants have been kicking that ball around like Minnie did the gong. The Giants aren't the only team to be made by a shortstop thia season. Their arch rivals for the lead right now, the St. Louis Cardinals, were advancing now'here at a magnificent pace until Gabby Street brought Lippy Leo Durocher from Cincinnati. With Durocher out there in the shortfield, Pepper Martin began playing a whale of a third base, Frankie Frisch a hot-cha second, and as a result the Red Birds found their w’ings and began to soar.
