RS. ETHEL V. MARS’ Milky Way Farm triumvirate of Tiger, Sky Larking and C-Note loom as strong early favorites to win the sixth running of the Arlington Futurity, the six furlongs test for 2-year-olgds which will be the feature of the closing day at Arlington Park, Chicago, Saturday. . . This powerful trio of young tRoroughbreds —freely mentioned as including the coming king of the 1937 division—dominated the field of 11 probable starters listed for the rich race by Secretary Charles McLennan in Chicago today. Last year Mrs. Mars, most liberal and justly the most successful purchaser of high-priced yearlings in the past two years, won the 1936 Arlington Futurity with her Case Ace, which went on to a striking triumph in the Illinois Derby this spring. » » un ” RAINER ROBERT M'GARVEY has lined up a strong complement of riders to handle the Mars trio Saturday. . . . Alfred Robertson will be up on Tiger, hero of the Washington Park Futurity; Charlie Stevenson, champion rider of America in 1935, will have the mount on Sky Larking, winner of the Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs, and Sterling Young, smart Canadian boy, will pilot C-Note, a frequent winner during the early Chicago campaign. C-Note was purchased for $14,300, third highest of last year’s sales; Sky Larking cost $13,500; and Tiger was bid in for $4500.

” » ” F 11 start in the Arlington Futurity, the race will gross $48,190 and net the winning owner $34,095. . . . Owner of the second will receive $6000, the third $3000 and the fourth $1500. . . . The breeder of the winner will receive $1500, the second $750 and the third $250. . Bull Lea, fond hope of the Calumet Farm owned by Warren Wright, is considered the chief threat to a Milky Way double in the Futurity. . .. This fast son of Bull Dog will be ridden by the accomplished Jockey Irving Anderson. . . . Hal Price Headley’s Menow, second to Tiger in the Washington Park Futurity, has been working briskly, according to reports from Chicago. Previous winners of the Arlington Futurity were: 1932, Ladysman; 1933, Far Star; 1934, Toro Nancy: 1935, Grand Slam, and 1936, Case Ace. . . . The time record for the stake's six furlongs is jointly held at 1:111-5 by Ladysman, Far Star and Case Ace. ” » u NSWER to C. B. Fan: In a night game played in the Western League in August of 1933, Cy (Darrell) Blanton, the righthander now with the Pittsburgh Pirates, struck out 20 Joplin batters and permitted no hits. He was pitching for St. Joseph. On another occasion, when he was in the International League, Blanton fanned 20 batsmen. Cy was the leading pitcher on earned run basis in the National League in 1935 with an average of 2.59. And he achieved four shutouts. Cy also chalked up four shutouts in 1936 but was rated 11th in earned run effectiveness with a mark of 3.51. He won 13 games and lost 15 last vear. . .. Cy is 28 years old, stands 5 feet 8'2 inches and weighs 160. . . . Buddy Bates, Indianapolis’ left fielder in 1936, is playing with Tulsa in the Texas League.

» » »

To LEAGUE fans like to tell this one on Tiny Goodbred, who pitched for the Ft. Worth team a few years back. . . . Tiny, a poor hitter, blasted a home run in the second inning one day. . . . He strutted around the bases, shook hands with each baseman, and fired wisecrack after wisecrack at the opposing pitcher. . . . A few innings later, however, Tiny was set upon by the opposition and Manager Jake Atz decided it was time to remove the battered hurler. . . . Instead of going to the showers, Tiny trotted out to the scoreboard, climbed a ladder. lifted the large “1” from the second inning slot, tucked it under his arm, walked back to the bench, and declared loudly: “Listen, Jake, if I can’t go on pitching you guys can’t have my run.”

"Helm Seen as Vital Factor

Interest in International Race Widespread, Joe Williams Finds.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 29.—I was with Mr, Tex Rickard when he saw his first Poughkeepsie regatta. The old fight promoter was firmly commercial minded. He said: “There'll never be any sense in this because they can't build a fence around the river” He was thinking of gate admissions. Mr. Rickard probably would see less sense in the America's cup race which starts off Newport Saturday. To make this spectacular yachting event practical from the box office standpoint it would be necessary to build a fence around the ocean. Or at least a sizable part of it.

Measured by the accepted standards, crew races and yacht races attain the highest ideal of amateurism. There is no money in it for anybody except the hired hands who wrestle with the sails. All the others are paid off in glory. And the original investment runs into millions. To a great many people the international yacht races can't mean a great deal. Yachting is a class sport. Likewise it is a participating sport as distinguished from a spectator sport. Thousands are interested in baseball who never swung a bat. You can increase this to millions as applied to heavyweight prize fights. But yachting is different. Not one man in a thousand can tell you what a marlin spike is. Or a spinnaker boom. To the public at large an international yacht is merely some sort of flat boat with a lot of wet wash hanging on the line, A play thing for millionaires. Yet there is a surprising amount of interest in these races. The international angle may have something to do with it. Undoubtedly does. Cun America beat England? Or the other way round. The vast sums of money invested in the challenger and the defender stir the imagination. Just imagine, all that money for a vacht! And just for one week's racing! Interest Widespread But whatever the reason the interest is definitely there and its pretty widespread. I was called South when the races were held in 1934 and on my way back I stopped over in Knoxville to see the Tennessee football team work out. Mr. Bob Wilson, the sports writer, took me out to the field. ... “Am I glad to get out of the office for a couple of hours!” exclaimed Mr. Wilson. “The phones have been ringing all afternoon, people wanting to know how the yacht race is coming out. It's worse than when Tennessee plays Alabamea.” Reduced, then, to understandable human equations, and leaving the abafts, abeams and alees to the more nautical minded, the race shapes up as a duel between a helmsman who isn’t likely to miss a trick and one who might easily, judged by past performances, be lured into disastrous errors. When Mr. T. O. M. was over here in 24 he had much the faster boat but was beaten off mainly because he bounced over the course like a Brooklyn base runner trying to find his way to second. In this distance Mr. T. O. M. ultimately did find his way to second but since there were only two boats in the

race, the consolation was meager.

'Qutsails Old Sopwith Yacht In 37V4%-Mile Run.

By United Press VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. July 29. — Harold (Mike) Vanderbilt's Ranger sailed for Newport today,

while the challenger for the Amere ica’s Cup, T. O. M. Sopwith’s Ene deavor II was high and dry on the beach at Bristol being readied for the opening race Saturday. Vanderbilt plans to haul out his undefeated cup defender for a final cleaning and polishing Saturday night after the first joust of the 16th challenge for the historic cup. Ranger outsailed all of the Class J sloops, including Sopwith's Ene deavour I, trial horse for the new challenger, in the Eastern Yacht Club's annual cruise vesterday. She finished 6'c minutes ahead of Gerard B. Lambert's Yankee in the 37% mile beat down Buzzards Bay, and run up Vineyard Sound. Chandeler Hovey's Rainbow, 1934 cup defender, was third a minute and a half behind Yankee, and Endeavour I was fourth, trailing the Vanderbilt yacht by 9'2 minutes.

This race, as well as all the pree

periority of Ranger over the two cup defense candidates, Yankee and Rainbow. It was the 14th straight victory for Vanderbilt's unbeaten boat. Skipper Mike held his sloop all the way.

Britain's pride. Endeavour I, will go into the water at Bristol to night or tomorrow morning and remain idle until the first challenge race begins Saturday. No one, so far, has a definite comparison of the relative qualities of the defende er and the challenger, because Sop with and Vanderbilt cautiously have avoided a meeting of the two boats
