TVrfclW YORK, July 16.—Some of the boys are saying Caval- ■*" cade is another Man O’ War. That’s a pretty safe thing to say. There’s no way to prove that he isn’t. It’s like saying Dempsey hit harder than Fitzsimmons. Maybe he did—but by whom or what are you going to prove it? They never met, they belonged to two different generations. And the same is true of ball clubs. How can you single out any one team and say with commanding authority, re, that is the best team in history” ? TANARUS: and, ’mrtion has b'-'-n conferred on a number of trams of different old Orioles. 1906 cob? *hr 1311 Giant.-, the 1912 Athletics, the 1919 White Sox and the 1927 Yankees.

Th" 35-ycar-old Garner had just ridden Cavalcade to urtory in the greatest picture race of the American turf. It was Garner's fir ' Derby victory. Naturally he was enthused. We talked at length about the running of the race and about Mrs. Di e Sloan c< It Finally I asked: "How would you compare him With Man O' War?" Cturner v.a dnnking a cup of coffee. He gulped, almost strangled. “Don't make me laugh." That v : all lie '.aid. It was as if a high school history’ student had j Hitler compared with Napoleon. And remember.

That's howfast he was coming. Far b it from the likes of me to pass judgment on the riding tactics of a Mack Garner, but in view of Cavalcade’s subsequent races it is just po >ibl that Garner started his drive an instant too late in the Preakness. Cavalcade like to come from behind. He came up from next to last by and he was last rounding the upper bend in the I turday. It takes a real good hoss to spot any kind of a field from one to ten lengths and then win as he pleases.

BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Snort* Editor New Y'ORK, July 16.—When William Harold Terry shook off his astonishment after being named manager of the New York Giants to succeed the great John J. McGraw in mid-season. 1032, he remarked: “The trick of managing a ball club is to know when to change pitchers." Based on his two-vear record, no pilot ever excelled Terry in this respect. Memphis Bui has been a Houdini in the handling of hurlers. In writing the story of the Giants' rise from sixth place in 1932 to a National League pennant and world championship in 1933, and their persistency m 1934. one would have to list Terry's uncanny judgment in yanking bowlers as reason No. 1.

JUNIOR STARS BEGIN STATE GOLF MEET

Indians Come From Behind Only to Lose Millers Win, 5-4, in First Tilt of Important A. A. Series. By Times Syeeint MINNEAPOLIS. July 16.—Red , Killefer's Indians made a gallant effort to knock off the Minneapolis Millers yesterday in the first tilt of ! the important scries at Nicollet park, but when the long game final- | iy ended the home club was out in 1 front, 5 to 4. The Tribesmen pulled up from a 4 to 0 handicap and tied the score in the eighth at 4 and 4. but a double by Ab Wright and a single by Hargrave in the home half of the same stanza put the Millers across. The victory placed Ownie Bush's league leaders two and one-half games ahead of the second-place Indians, but the Hoosiers got a break despite the defeat owing to ! the fact that third-place Columbus I dropped a double-header at Kansas | City and the other teams pressing ; the Redskins split even in twin bills on the Sabbath. All-Star Game Thursday The Millers earned the right to meet the American Association AllStars here on Thursday. A team of choice players on the seven other league teams will be selected to send against the Minneapolis fence busters. Minneapolis players who led in votes by the fans of the eight cities who balloted to name an all-A. A. team, will be replaced by players on other clubs next high in votes. Jess Petty occupied the Miller mound yesterday and he made it a tough afternoon for the crowd of about eight thousand, players and umpires by taking up a lot of time between pitches. However, he lasted the route and registered his fourteenth victory of the season. A1 Butzberger and Phil Weinert toiled on the Indian rubber. Young Butzberger was knocked out early and Weinert pitched good ball until the eighth, when two hits beat him. Hauser Fans Three Times Each team collected nine hits yesterday and Cohen of the Millers was credited with three. Rosenberg and Washington were best for Indianapolis with two each, one of Rosie's going for two cushions. Washington batted in two of the Tribe's runs. Phil Weinert struck out Joe Hauser three times. Hauser is the league's top home run slugger. Tribe errors helped the Millers, the Hoosiers committing three miscues. The Hoosier' defense has not been up to standard in recent games and errors are proving costly. Lefty Bob Logan was slated to hurl for the Indians in the second battle of the series this afternoon.

Three Pros in Playoff for St. Paul Open After Revolta Sparkles With 65

By United Press ST. PAUL, July 16.—Rain soaked the Keller golf course today and delayed a playoff of the $5,000 St. Paul open tournament until afternoon. By United Press ST. PAUL, July 16.—Three of golf's greatest professional stars met today in medal competition over the tricky Keller course here to break a triple tie in which the St. Paul Open tournament ended yesterday. Johnny Revolta of the Milwaukee Tripoli Club, who equaled the course record of sixty-five in a gathering dusk to stay in the first place race, was first to tee off. He was faced with the necessity of beating Ky Laffoon of Denver and Harry Cooper of Glen Elyn. 111.. Western Open champion. Each of the trio carded 283 over the sev-enty-two-hole tournament distance. Revolta had been counted out of competition even before he started his final round yesterday. His 218 for fifty-four holes was far below the money ranks. Not a person followed him as he scorched the fairways outward with a 33 and then returned in 32. seven below par. Cooper carded a 69 and Laffcon a 68 to round out previous excellent rounds. A trap which forced him to take a five on the eighteenth hole, an easy four otherwise, cost Gene Mako Takes State Net Crown Miss Wolf, Elkhart, Wins Women's Tilt. By United Press NEW ALBANY, Ind, July 16. Gene Mako, Los Angeles, today held the Indiana state men's singles tennis championship as result of his 6-1, 6-1 triumph over Hal Surface, Kansas City, in the final match. Mako, teamed with Don Budge, Oakland, Cal., to win the doubles championship, 6-1. 6-0, 6-2, from Phil Castlen. California, and Surface. Surface gained the final round in the singles by winning from Budge on default, the latter having suffered an arm injury. Miss Catherine Wolf, Elkhart. Ind., won the women's singles title Saturday, defeating Graeyn Whee’er, Santa Monica, Cal., 6-1,6-3. Miss Wolf was defending champion.

The Longacre plungers are trailing Eilenberger by one game and will have an opportunity tonight to pull down the pace-making east siders into a tie.

Terry's reply was classical. It would be well for wishy-washy, hesitating managers to have it printed in 72-point Ultra Bodoni caps, and posted in the clubhous®. "The time to win a ball game is when you have it won," replied the New \*ork strategist. a a a NO other club in baseball today is managed quite as well as the Giants. It is the best trained outfit m the game. "Keep trying,” Terry tells his athletes at the start of a campaign. “Try not to make mistakes. Baseball is like ping pong. If we stick in there long enough, the other side will kick one. Something will happen. and we'll win—and it does! Day in and day out, it does!” A Giant seldom does anything wrong.

Brown, who planned to take advantage of the Saints’ off-day by visiting his wife and then going fishing, was coming to St. Paul from South St. Paul. The streets were wet with rain. A small dog ran in front of Brown's machine. He swerved, the automobile overturned in the ditch, and Brown was dead before aid arrived.

is not fond of playing baseball. It is strictly a business proposi- ; tion with him. He has a big executive complex. An outstanding player at the late age of 35, Terry is eager to get out of uniform. He longs to order other people around in store clothes, like McGraw. This is not a new* whim with him. McGraw had to plead with Memphis Bill to remain in the game when the latter was on the j verge of retiring some years ago. Terry has much ability outside of baseball. He is one of the wealthiest of playe r s. having profitable connections in oil, and conducting a , string of stations in and around 1 Memphis. That's the way it usually goes. Those that have it don’t care > about it.
