Hambletonian Tomorrow |

Italian Representative of Muscletone, European Cham- | pion, Meets Baker and Palin Relative to Pro- | posed International Race.

By United Press

GOSHEN, N. Y,, Aug. 10.—Greyhound, U. S. champion trotter, makes

an attempt to break the mile record as a prelude to the $40,000 Hamblet morrow,

set by Peter Manning in 1922 today onian stake at Good Time track to-

Peter Manning hung up the record of one minute, 563 seconds over

the Lexington, Ky. one-mile track.

On three different occasions last

year, Greyhound trotted the dis=~< tance in 1:57%, and only a month ago he turned the half-mile track here twice in 1:595%. Horsemen,

taking the difference of the tracks |

into consideration, believe Grey-

hound’s mile was greater than Peter |

Manning's.

In his last fast workout at the | Agawam track, Springfield, Mass. |

last Wednesday, Greyhound trotted a mile in 2:01!;, making the last half in 59 seconds and this is expected to put him on edge for a real Yecord attempt today. Plans for matching Greyhound and Muscletone in an international duel were discussed further today. Giovanni Maini, owner of Muscletone, arrived from Italy yesterday and was met by E. J. Baker, owner of Greyhound, and Driver Sep Palin of Indianapolis. Maiani speaks no English and preliminary discussions for the match race had to be through an interpreter. Muscletone will be busy for several more weeks racing in Europe and will not arrive in this country until early September. A site for the race, and the distance will have to be decided upon. Maiani went to Goshen today to see Greyhound make his world record attempt. Muscletone has not been beaten since 1934 when he left this country after being bested by Lord Jim in the Hambletonian. Most of his races have been at about a mile and a half, and the length of a maich

Tribe, Saints In Night Tilt

Times Special ST. PAUL, Aug. 10.—The Indians feel a hunch coming that maybe, after all, the situation could be more unpleasant than the circumstances indicate. They won a ball game yesterday out at Lexington Park and the Tribe boys think that it may put them back in stride. True, it was only the third victory on the current road trip in 14 starts, but a victory, nevertheless, and they hope to gain a bit of lost ground during the heavy series with the Saints. Two Double-Headers The second tilt with the Apostles wiil be played under the lights tonight and then will follow doubleheaders tomorrow and Thursday to wind up the Redskins’ pastiming in the West for the season. Vance Page was batted freely in the series opener, but outlasted two St. Paul hurlers, Coombs and Welch, and won, 10 to 6. Hits were 19 for the Hoosiers and 15 for the Apostles. Strange as it may seem, only two home runs were clicked

vace against Greyhound is sure to be a bone of contention. If it is jonger than a mile, the European | horse undoubtedly will be the favorite. Palin will be up on Grevhound today when the famed trotter makes | his attempt to lower the world rec- | ord.

Purdue, Butler Renew Rivalry

| Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 10.— Purdue's “oldest” gridiron rival, Butler University, the school that the Boilermakers bumped up against in 1887 when they first assayed a try at football will provide the athletic feature of Boy Scout Day on the Purdue campus in the season’s opener in the RossAde Stadium Saturday, Sept. 25. ~The battle with the Bulldogs, undefeated last season as they copped the Indiana Collegiate Championship for the time time in recent years, is expected to provide an ideal attraction for the visiting Boy Scouts who will be the guests of the Purdue Othletic Department for the afternoon. Detailed plans for the Boy Scout Day program are being worked out by E. L. Wheeler, Scout Executive | for the Tippecanoe Area Council; | student renresentative of the Purdue Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, Boy Scout fraternity, and members | of the Purdue athletic staff. An | invitation to Indiana Scouts to attend as the guests of the athletic | department will be extended through the various scout execu- | tives. For the entertainment of | scouts that arrive on the campus | .early in the morning, plans are | being made for a special program that will include tours of the campus and special demonstrations. | though the Boy Scout Day game will mark only the second meeting between the Hoosier ath-

jn the '80s and "90s the two schools were annual rivals. To date, the “two elevens have met on the field of football nine times, with Purdue “winning six times and Butler three.

Top hitters were Archie, Taylor, Riddle and Berger for the Indians, and Pasek for St. Paul, all with three blows each. Riddle, whose hits included a double, was especially effective with the war club with mates on base and batted in four runs. Both teams had a flock of runners left on base, 15 by Indianapolis and 14 by St. Paul.

a. chance they | may hit 7,000,000 if the races don't | cool off completely. ' The New York Yankees are shooting at all-time records. They've played to 974845 persons in 42 playing days at Yankee Stadium,

an average of more than 23,000 per game. On the road they've played to 731,312 in 49 playing dates. The total for all Yankee games is 1,706,157. The Yanks’ all-time road record of about 1,000,000 is almost certain to topple with about 26 playing dates left. The Giants top the National ieague in attendance with 900,700 for 45 playing dates at the Polo Grounds. Next comes the Chicago Cubs with 695,000 for 42 home dates. \ Although they've never really been serious in the race, the Detroit Tigers are drawing unsually well with 871,950 for 41 playing dates at Navin Field. One of the big surprises is the drawing power of the White Sox at home, 583,500 for 43 playing dates. | That's probably the most business

the White Sox have done since the |

| Black Sox scandal days. | The Yankees and White [staged the two biggest crowd days. | A Sunday double-header at Yankee Stadium June 20 drew 68939. On Tuesday, Aug. 3. they played to the biggest week-day crowd of the year, 66.767. Yesterday was an off-day all around the big league wheel. The only development was the sale of Ben Cantwell, right-hand pitcher, by the Giants to the desperate Dodgers. Cantwell served most of the season with the Jersey City International League Club, but was recalled by the Giants two weeks ago.
