By Joe Williams Village Becomes Metropolis for Day mam Mary Reynolds Cops Rich Hambletonian 9 m w Old County Fair Scenes Are Recalled

X. Y., Aug. IT.—lt was getting along toward 5 o'clock in the afternoon Wednesday when the trotters came out on the track for the third heat of the famous Hambletonian. The two earlier heats had produced two winners in this 3-year-old championship of the light harness world, and if either of these two repeated the race would be over. A sultry sun beat down on the pleasant county fair scene, and a wave of nervous expectancy swept over the thousands that jammed the bandbox grand stand and the circus seats. There were between 22,000 and 25,000 people in Good Time park, a record crowd, and every tick of the clock was bringing the little drowsy village closer and closer to its greatest sporting climax. It had been a grand day. The perfect weather brought everybody out. As early as 10 o'clock in the morning the main street was alive with the hum of motors and gay voices of visitors. Within a couple of hours an orderly village of 3.000 became a noisy, helter-skelter metropolis. “Never ‘seed' anything to beat it.” remarked an elderly gentleman who sat rocking himself on the front porch of the Orange Inn. a a a a a a THE sprawling dusty grounds were cluttered with hot dog stands. church bazars, and charity dodges Over in the barns the star per-formen-r-the horses—stood in their tidy, well-kept stalls. Name plates on the doors identified them. A crowd gathered in front of Mary Reynolds stall, an uncersizrd bay mare owned by W N. Reynolds, the "tobacco king ” and favorite in the big race. The opening heats in the first two races had been run and the first heat of the Hambletonian was coming up Off to one side stood a tent of unusual dimensions It bristled wtih activity, from inside came the metallic clatter of a sharp voice: What am Coffered? $l5O for Mary Reynolds. Who'll make it $200?” a a a a a a CLOSER investigation proved this was an auction. A professional gambler. Eli Crutch, long identified with the Grand Circuit, was auctioning off pools on the various heats, and doing a very brisk business. And so, with one thing and another, the afternoon lengthened. The favorite hadn't had any trouble winning the first heat. She had gone to the front at the first turn anc! stayed there. There had been a long delay getting the second heat under way. All the horses must be off in a group and trotting. a a a a a a FINALLY they were off. and again the favorite took the lead at the turn, only to break her stride, lose valuable ground, and ultimately go down to defeat in a rousing stretch duel with Brown Berry, the winner. Thus when the third heat started the hills were draped for drama—and it wasn't long in developing. Brown Berry set the pace with Mary Reynolds, seemingly pocketed, but always close up. Into the stretch they turned. By now it was a two-horse race. Brown Berry continued to lead by a full length. About 100 yards from the finish Brown Berry stumbled, fell forward on his knees and was out of the race. a a a a a a GAINING With each swift stride from the top of the stretch the little bay mare high-stepped home without opposition to win the eighth running of this rich stake. She had had bad luck in the second heat and good luck in the third. If she hadn't broken her stride in the second heat Brown Berry would never have been a factor. To my mind Mary Reynolds owned by the “tobacco king” was the standout trotter in the event. She was even worth walking a mile to see.

Simpson Looms as Top State Tourney Choice J Washington Golfer Becomes High-Ranking Favorite at Quarter-Final Post; Leads Taylor, 5 Up: Bill Bassett, Defending Champ, Easily Paces Opponent. BY DICK MILLER Tim t% Staff Writer SOUTH BEND. Ind. Aug. 17 —Johnny Simpson of Washington, who twire has won the state amateur golf tournament over this Chain O’ Lakes course, loomed as a high-ranking favorite in the 1933 amateur event today, shooting his way to a five-up lead over Dick Taylor of West Lafayette, in the first eighteen holes of their thirty-six-hole quar-ter-final battle. Simpson was firing great golf and had eleven one-point greens. He was two up at the end of nine and added three to his total on the backstretch Bill Bassett of Hammond, defending champion, was seven up on Dr. H. L. Cooper of South Bend, at the end of eighteen holes, and there was a possibility that Bassett would win by default. Dr. Cooper has two sore fingers on his right hand.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST IT, 1933

The South Bend physician resorted to treatment during the rest period in an efort to alleviate the pain and continue with the match this afternoon. Jordan Six Down Tony Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne was busy giving Ralph Jordan of Indianapolis a thorough lesson in recovery shots and wound up the eighteen holes six up on the Riverside player. Bruggeman was wild off the tees and on his second shots all morning, but his recovery shots were wellnigh marvelous and he had ten one-putt greens. Phil Talbot of Bloomington met a tartar in Keith Young of Lafayette and they ended eighteen holes of play with Talbot holding a oneup edge. Talbot Fast at Start Talbot got off to a good start and won the first and third holes, only to land in a trap on the fourth, and when Young sank an approach shot on the sixth, the match was all square. Young went Into the lead for the only time on the tenth. He threeputted the twelfth and was wild on the thirteenth and fourteenth, and Talbot went two up. They halved three holes and Young birdied the eighteenth to cut Talbot's lead to one up. Reed Battles Champ Billy Bassett, defending champion, was still on the throne today and battling for the 1933 title principally because he was able to ward off impending defeat in both his short; eighteen-hole first and second round match tests Wednesday with a great variety of tournament golf. Bassett was one of the eight remaining in the battle today simply because he refused to believe his game was not a little better than his opponents’, Kenneth Morine of South Bend, whom he defeated 4 and 2 in the first round, and Billy Reed Jr. of Highland. Indianapolis, carried his match with the champion to the twentieth green before he dropped his challenge 1 up in a second round match. In the afternoon Wednesday it looked for a while that the champion had fired all his good golf in the morning. Young Bill Reed Jr. had him 2 down at the end of six holes. The champion sliced one on No. 2 and hit the lake and marsh on No. 5 to take a 6. Reed faltered a bit on No. 7 and three-putted and dubbed a second shot to square the match. Bassett three-putted the ninth green and Reed was one up at the turn. Bassett Trails by Three The defending champion was short with his third on No. 11 and Reed went 2 up again. He increased it to 3 up when Bassett found the rough on No. 13. Right there is where tne champion pinched himself and awakened to the fact h'is title was shaky. He got going right away. He ran down a twenty-foot putt-on No. 14 for a birdie. He failed to win the next hole because he missed a three-foot putt after sending his tee shot straight to the pin. When Reed pounded one into the rough on No. 17 Bassett stepped in to win and sent the match dormie. On No. 18 Reed was again in the rough and sent his second out well, but short. His third was on the back of the green, and from there he three-putted for a 6. Bassett played safe and his par 5 won the hole, making the match all square. Match Finally Decided On the first extra hole both took par 4’s and it ended on the next hole, where Reed dubbed another second shot to take a 5 while Bassett got another 4 to win. As the quarter-finals came up today only two faces who were in the select eight last year lined up on the first tee. They were Bassett and Phil Talbott, the runner-up the last two years. The other six with one exception are not just exactly new faces in state amateur golf. The one. Ralph Jordan, Riverside of Sndianapolis youngster, was the only capital city entry still in the title race. Not one of the five junior plavers Dale. Brewer. Reed Jr.. •Hamilton and Walter Kroll of South Bend who were the semi-finalists or the medalist of the state junior tournament which made them eligible for the amateur championship, remained in the field. Kroll failed to qualify.

Horse Sense BY O. RE VILLA

By Unit'd Preen Cincinnati. Aug. 17.—Reports coming from the hospital say Jockey J. Lane, who was injured in a spill at Coney Island Monday, is getting along okeh. A fractured skull and concussion, but still the | report says okeh. Oh, well, what is a cracked head among the jock colony, anyhow? Most of them are half-cracked and don’t know it. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be riding horses. . . Another hospital report says Jockey Gordon Arnold, who was operated on for appendicitis, is getting along fine and will be back in the saddle before the snow flies. a a That snow files business makes me wonder where my summer wages went and also to start looking up that overcoat pawn check. Lee Harder has joined the riding circle here at Coney. You all remember the boy as an Indiana product and the champion jockcv of the United States in 193(1. Still a good rider and while he doesn't get the best of mounts he seems to pop in when least expected. Ove heard a big tracker, checkered suit and everything remark today that Jackie Westrope was the greatest rider of bangtails siv.ee Tod Sloan. Personally I don't remember the well-known Tod. but all I can say is that if Tod was half as good as Jackie he was a first-class race rider. 808 Understand they are bringing Equipoise to Chicago to run in the Hawthorne before they match him with the Australian wonder horse. Winooka. I am afraid he will turn out to be a wonder horse when he meets with the Btg Train Wonder he didn t stay in Australia. There Is another good argument and It ought to last all w-.-iter around the old stove. Is Ekkv as < good, or Is he better than Man o' \Var? Some sav yes Some sav no. Well, bv ■ the time they get him to the Windy Citv 1 for the Hawthorne he will no doubt warrant the Judges and hantllcappers in placing at least a couple of hundred pounds on his back. It's a crime the way they load the old bov down with dead weight, and I mean that the extra poundage of lead Is dead weight. B B B Jackie Westrope and Equipoise! What a combination that would make for the favorite players over the country. .A S3 ticket would pay about $3.10. and then the 1 track would lose money and be compelled to dig deep for many x dime to lay with the two bucks.

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Today is the big day in Larruping Lou Gehrig's glamorous career—the day when the New York Yankees' brawny first baseman expects to establish anew major league record for continuous play. This iron man of baseball, who for eight years ignored minor in-

juries and ailments, was to perform at St. Louis in his 1.308 th consecutive game, thereby shattering "Deacon'' Everett Scott's mark of 1,307 games, completed May 5, 1925. President William Tarridge of t h e American League planned to attend today's game between the

Yankees and St. Louis Browns and present Gehrig with a silver cup. An injury launched Gehrig on his marathon. Lou went in as pinch-hitter for the Yanks on June , 1, 1925. and the next day Wally Pipp, the regular first baseman, was | knocked unconscious by a pitched ball during batting practice. Gehrig replaced Pipp and he has been at first base ever since. Gehrig equaled Deacon Scott’s 1 record Wednesday, while the j Browns were walloping the Yanks, 13 to 3. enabling Washington to extend its American League lead to six and a half games. Ed Wells held the Yanks to seven hits, while the Browns collected eighteen, scoring six runs in the third. Washington downed Chicago, 5 to 1, when Earl Whitehlll held the White Sox to seven hits. Thirdplace Philadelphia dropped a 5-to-4 decision to Cleveland, when Earl Averill's single scored Porter with the winning run in the ninth. Detroit shaded Boston, 6 to 5 by bunching seven hits. Boston's manager, Marty McManus, was banished for protesting a decision. Feature on at Dade Saturday By Timet Special EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Aug. 17.—The Governor's handicap at a mile for a I purse of $1,500 on Saturday is expected to be one of the best races | of the twenty-five-day race meeting at Dade Park.
