By Eddie Ash City Jockey Makes Good on Big Tracks mam Jimmie Dobson Is Success First Year

INDIANAPOLIS has an abundance of horse lovers and horse players, hut few members of the local sport gentry know there is a jockey out of this city making good on the big running tracks. He is Jimmie Dobson, 19, of 3600 Madison avenue. His weight is 92 pounds and he is a former Times carrier. Young Dobson is riding under a three-year contract with E. H. McMahon, owner of Evergreen stock farm, near Bloomington, 111. Jimmy was an exercise boy for two years, and this is his first year in the saddle at turf meetings. He has been riding at Thistledown, in Ohio, and later will go up to the new race meeting at Detroit. He is the son of C. M. Dobson of the Madison avenue address. a a a man TN hi* first ten starts as a jockey. Dobson won five firsts, two seconds, one third and finished fourth twice. On Wednesday of this week at Thistledown. Dobson brought home Margia Lou a winner in the first race; finished fifth on Lady Batts in the second event; eighth on Chanty in the third; first on Peace Dove in the fifth; sixth on Eddie Lehman in the sixth, and fourth on Jimmy Finn in the seventh. George Dobson. 15. brother of Jimmie, also has been won over to the race sport and is picking up the necessary pointers serving as exercise boy. Owner McMahon of the Evergreen farm has an option on the “kid” and believes the lad will follow right along and make good the same as Jimmie. On Friday at Thistledown, “Indianapolis Jimmie” Dobson was up on four mounts and turned in two winners, finished second once and was “out” on his other effort of the afternoon. a a a a a a CITY and state abound with baseball “experts” who know their statistics. according to the heap of selections sent to The Times by fans endeavoring to match Babe Ruths all-big league team for 1933. Midnight of Ang. 31 was the last opportunity for fans to "challenge” Ruth and attempt to name his all-star club before he was ready with it himself. Hoosier diamond followers answered with a hearty response The Times' invitation to match the Babe’s lineup. No word was received from him today and it is thought now the Bambino will delay naming his roster until some time next week. The guess is that Babe is puzzled over a few of the positions. Several fan teams follow:

Vines, defending champion, will start piay determined to save the one title left him after a year of disaster. Crawford, the new king of the courts, has his sights set on the world supremacy that will be his if he adds the blue ribbon event of American tennis to his string. One year ago today Vines, playing a game worthy of Bill Tilden at his best, stood out as the No. 1 player of the world. Critics called him “unbeatable and predicted he would dominate the game for years. Then his game went to pieces and a poor showing in Australia was followed by

Logan Has Great Day Young Lefty Blanks Birds With Two Hits; Tribe Gets Thirteen. By Timet Special COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 2.—Red Bird fans saw some brilliant pitching out at their stadium Friday afternoon and the exhibition of great mound work was not supplied by the league leaders. It was the performance of Lefty Bob Logan of the Indians that featured the contest. The youngster held the Birds to two hits and scored a shutout, 10 to 0. High and Rothrock were the only home pastimers to get one safe off the Tribe hurler, who has displayed marked improvement during the progress of the season. He fanned two and walked four, but the Birds that reached base were left there. Bud Teachout, Columbus lefthander, mow'ed down the Indians until the fifth, when they rallied and chased four runs across the plate. Sigafoos Poles Homer Teachout was walloped for thirteen blows by the Indians. In the seventh they tallied three markers and repeated the three-run achievement in the ninth. Frank Sigafoos poled a home run in the seventh and he also got two singles during the contest. Pete Chapman pounded Teachout for two doubles and a single, scoring two runs and batting in two.

“'T'HIS Carl Hubbell is an artist. It isn't only his shutouts and his A record of scoreless innings which mark him as a whizz-bang. He has style. I’ve watched a lot of left-handers, and even some of the great ones seemed to have contrived their pitching motion after seeing Houdini get out of a strait-jacket. “There was Eddie Plank, for instance. He belonged among the elect, but after watching him work through a tough game I would go home all wor nout. Often I would need stimulants. He couldn’t pitch to anybody without first straightening his cap and then making a desperate grab at his trousers. “Southpaws are like that. On account of their affiliation they develop a sense of inferiority early in life. Eddie Plank’s subconscious fear that his pants were coming down is a case in point. The overelaborate windup of Hooks WiJtse might also be cited as among the stigmata of the southpaws. “But Hubbell doesn’t seem in the least embarrassed about being a left-hander. He throws with as much ease as if he were perfectly normal. It seems nobody ever told him that all southpaws are crazy. “And speaking about control, I took notes and discovered that until he gavs Berger an intentional pass in the ninth inning of his ten-inning shutout, Carl Hubbell never had a count against him of three balls on any batter. Except when he was trying to waste one, I don't think he threw ten balls out of the strike zone in the entire ten innings. He can serve up a ball to a batter with all the accuracy of an old family retainer passing around the* boiled potatoes. He practically never misses the plate. "Colonel, th brown suit will be stitched together in a week or o. Could I have that pass again, or would they let me bu tickets? I * "HEYWOOD BROUN.*

Bucs New Threat to Giants in Flag Drive Pirates Top Braves for Second, Place With Seven-Game Winning Streak; Boston Trails N. Y. Seven Games After Bowing in Twin Bill. BY JACK CUDDY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—George Gibson's Pirates are campaigning for a “crucial'' series of their own with the New York Giants down at Pittsburgh next week. The Corsairs captured second place in the National League standing by a forced march of seven straight victories while experts and fans wero concentrating on the so-called “crucial” series between the first-place Giants and the Boston Braves. If the Pirates have struck the stride of which their roster indicates them capable, the National pennant race still holds interesting possibilities because of the Giants’ loss of Johnny Vergez and the Braves’ loss of Randy Moore. Pittsburgh topped Boston by one percentage point today after beating St. Louis, 2 to 1, in eleven innings. Friday, while the Braves lost twice to the Giants. This left the Pirates and Braves virtually tied at seven

games behind the Giants. Pie Traynor headed the Pirate attack with a triple and two singles. His line single with Paul Waner on second in the eleventh provided the winning run that gave Larry French a mound victory over Bill Hallahan. French held the Cards to six hits while Hallahan allowed nine. Hubbeli, Critz Shine Two of the Giants’ “big four” pitchers, Carl Hubbeli and Freddie Fitzsimmons, pitched and batted the club to a 2-to-0 win in the opener, and a 5-to-3 victory in the second game, to the disappointment of 48,000 Boston fans. Hubbeli registered his tenth shutout and the Giants their twentysecond of the season when he held the Braves to four hits and drove in the winning run with a single in the tenth. Another run came in on Johnny Moore's long fly. In the nightcap Freddie Fitzsimmons held the Braves to six hits in eight innings and drove in the winning tally with a double in the ninth. Another run came in on Hughie Critz’ fly. Last place Cincinnati combined six hits and eight walks off Pat Malone and Lynn Nelson to beat the Chicago Cubs, 7 to 3. Senators Bow to A’s Washington maintained its eight and a half game American League lead over the New York Yankees when both clubs lost. Jimmy Foxx enjoyed a perfect day at bat as the Philadelphia Athletics trounced the Senators, 12 to 3. He accounted for six runs with his thirty-seventh homer, a triple and a single. Boston's Red Sox took their second straight game from the Yanks, 4 to 2, in twelve innings.

Dodge, Detroit sportsman and racer, announced he w’ould enter his Delphine V, a Gold Cup boat equipped with a sweepstakes motor. Two hundred thousand persons w r ere expected to see the race. Today’s race and the second at 3 p. m. Monday will be run off over a seven nautical mile course on the river. Victory in two races out of a possible three wins the series and the trophy.

Weighing seven tons, it develops nearly 5,000 horse power. The beautifully stream-lined, but tiny Miss Britain, weighs only about a ton and a half, and develops 1.375 horse power from a single Napier engine.
