Big Race on at Arlington

Granville Afforded Chance to Capture Share of 3-Year-0ld Honors.

By United Press CHICAGO, July 26.—A wayward son of a gallant American turf - champion made his final move to- - day to lift the cloud from the 1936 3-year-old championship with a victory over 10 other crack thoroughbreds in the $30,000 added Arlington Classic. ; . William Woodward's Granville, whipped three times under the most favorable circumstances, sought to make amends in the same famous mile and a quarter Classic that settled the 3-year-old 'dispute in a half dozen preceding years. Regardless of the outcome, how“ever, Morton L. Schwartz’ Bold Venture, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, will maintain at least a share of the title. Entry Rated at 7-5

Granville, son of Gallant Fox which won the 1930 classic, was bracketed with Isolator as Belair Stud’s entry and drew the short price of 7-5 in the early wagering. . John Hay Whitney's Mr. Bones also was backed heavily at 5-2, while H. P. Headley’s entry of Hollyrood and Sparta was 4-1. Granville’s support grew out of his showing in the Belmont Stakes where he nosed out Mr. Bones with a killing challenge deep in the stretch. His defeats in the Wood Memorial, Preakness and Suburban Handicap were attributed to his temperamental dislike of running In . front early in the stretch and were ~ disregarded by form players. Included in the fleld were three exceptional fillies regarded as ‘definite contenders despite the gevere distance of the Classic course. Elmer Dale Shaffer's surprising Floradora, which kicked her heels in the faces of most candidates last Saturday, was the best of the lot.

TEE TIME

P course, you can't pass judgment on a golfer for his performance in a single tournament, but based on his showing in the St. Paul Open, Tony Manero appears doomed to rate as another flash-in-the-pan champion. That is to say, he is starting down the forgotten-man path so forlornly traversed by Samuel Parks Jr. and others who flashed to glory as National Open champions then faded back into the mass of chronic alsorans. Parks won the Open in '35 and set out on the pro tourney trail confident he could match his. game with the top-flight shotmakers in the business. His earnings were null, to say nothing of void. He didn’t win a first place prize, major or minor. Sam holds the respect and admiration of all his fellow golfing gypsies because he took his skid with a grin and refused to let it turn him bitter against his game or the game in general. He has worked hard, but seems to get no better fast. » » #

ANERO finished far down the list at St. Paul, his first major trial since winning the Open last month. His prize money won't pay his way to the next tourney he ventures into, wherever that may be.

To repeat, the St. Paul failure proves nothing at the present. All golfers, great and mediocre, have their ups and downs. But Tony would be a wise-man to-bud-get that Open prize wad very carefully. He and Wife Agnes may have to depend considerably on it for a long while, ‘ss = 8 Antonio Maineiro—that’'s the name in full—says he was in a daze during that last round on Saturday afternoon when he spurted to victory with a sensational rally. It was Sunday morning before he really “woke up” to the fact he was National Open champion. When he heard he had a chance to catch Cooper, he just slipped into a coma and played inspired golf the rest of the way. 5 s o 2

The champ lost eight pounds during the three days of tournament toil. But it was only another achievement for Tony. He was overweight when action started and finished up with the scalepointer right on the spot he likes best—168,

Bud Tinning Holds Millers to Six Hits; Victory March Continues.

The Indians’ surprise comeback has reached =u stage where it is not to be sneezed at. The pitchers, as well as the hitters, are in form. Moreover, the defense has perked up and in the last two tilts the team has completed six double plays. ‘Bud Tinning held the Minneapolis Millers to six hits in the series opener last night while his mates pounded out 13 blows to down the Bushmen, 7 to 1. The Hoosiers have collected 79 safeties during the winning streak. It was the Tribe’s fifth victory in a row and the Redskins apparently are determined to smash into the first division during the home stand.

Toledo last night and were ousted from the league lead as St. Paul trounced Louisville in a day game. The Apostles are out in front by a single percentage point. Stewart Bolen, the veteran southpaw who blanked St. Paul with three hits on Tuesday, is slated to take the Tribe rubber against. the Millers tonight and Manager Bush of the visitors has Reggie Grabowski, also a left-hander, groomed to face the Hoosiers. The Millers were unable to break into the scoring column until the seventh when a single, an infield out and a second single produced. The visitors drew blanks in the other eight sessions.

Three to an Inning

Only 18 batters faced Tinning in the first six innings—three to a round. Two runners reached first as lead-off men, but both were erased by double plays. Minneapolis failed to get a runner beyond first base until the seventh. The Indians played errorless ball and the outfield had little to do. > Sherlock, at second, and Bluege, at short, were kept busy scooping up infield shots, the former accepting 10 chances and the latter the same number. It was a swiftly played contest and was completed in 1:48. In the initial stanza last night Bates drew a pass, reached third on Fausett’s single after one out and scored when Catcher George retrieved a short wild pitch and threw it away at second trying to head off Fausett.

Crandall Triples

Crandall smashed a triple to center as first up in the second and tallied on Berger's out. Singles by Bluege and Tinning and a double by ‘Sherlock were . good for two more markers. In the fourth a walk to Bates, a triple by Sherlock and a single by Fausett boosted the Tribe run total to six. Archie McKain, lefthander, retired from the Minneapolis mound after the fourth and Rookie Olson, a righthander, took up the pitching in the fifth. He worked three innings and Baker, a southpaw, finished. Crandall singled in the eighth and tallied on Berger's double for the las? marker of the battle. Catcher Crandall paced the Tribe at bat with three blows. Johnny Riddle took a rest on account of an injured leg. Bates, Bluege and Eckhardt also are bruised, but are in there fighting to keep the victory march under way.

Krukemeler Takes Decision, but Substitute Puts Up Surprising Battle.

BY HARRISON MILLER Johnny Krukemeier, local Chevrolet Body lightweight, should regard substitute fighters with more respect, especially in this era of short-odds winners, The aggressive little battler easily gained the decision over Joe Poindexter, Negro from Bess A.

Marshall Allison of Shelbyville, who appeared here Thursday night when the scheduled bout with Krukemeieer was rained out, was scheduled for a match at Evansville last night. Poindexter, who had appeared in an exhibition earlier in the evening at Bess A. C., tired
