3-YEAR-OLDS AWAIT RICH RACE

SANDE’S STAGEHAND IS FAVORITE

ITH War Admiral and Seabiscuit dropping out of the proposed $25,000 Arlington Cup to force its cancellation, Trainer Earl Sande is concentrating the training of Col. Maxwell Howard’s Stagehand and The Chief on the $310,000 Classic Stakes, the mile and a quarter premier midsummer race for 3-year-olds to be run at Arlington Park, Chicago, tomorrow, While regretting the cancellation of the weight-for-age Arlington Cup, horsemen and race patrons in the Chicago section believe that the leading older horses are unwilling to tackle such a redoubtable distance runner as Stagehand, the winner of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. Figuring that no other 3-year-old, including Lawrin and Dauber, would have so dulled the ambitions of the older stars, Midwest horsemen are now hailing Stagehand the champion of the 3-year-olds and look upon him as the favorite to win the important Classic Stakes tomorrow.

® ” ” = sn = NDICATIONS are that a field of nine, the cream of the 3-year-old division still in training, will clash in the Classic. . . . Arlington officials are making preparations to handle a seasonal record crowd of upward of 50,000, Besides the handsome monetary prize to the winning owner, a valuable gold trophy will become his or her permanent property. . . . This is a new cup offered this year, a solid 14-carat gold replica of the historic Coronation Cup won by Mrs. John Hertz’s Reigh Count in England in 1929.

The Classic brings together such horses as Stagehand, coupled with The Chief, Menow, Bull Lea, Cravat, Nedayr, Blind Eagle, Fairflax and Co-Sport. The winner will have his name carved in the turf’s hall of fame along with Blue Larkspur, Gallant Fox, Mate, Cavalcade, Omaha. Granville and Flying Scot, which won the event in summers past

ANAGER M'CARTHY’s Yankees have won only four out of 11 from Cleveland this season and no New York pitcher has beaten the Vittmen twice. . Johnny Allen has downed the Yankees twice and they have yet to beat him since 1936. . . . Bob Feller has won two and lost one against the world champions and Mel Harder has a similar record. Johnny Humphries has taken one from the Ruppert Rifles and Earl Whitehill and Dinty Galehouse have lost one apiece Cleveland has defeated Lefty Gomez three times, Monte Pearson twice, Red Ruffing once and Bump Hadley once. . . . The four Yankee victories over the Vittmen were achieved by Hadley, Gomez, Ruffing and Spud Chandler. = =”

OE DIMAGGIO of the Yankees is fighting a little slump. . In the last five games he has accounted for only two hits—a double and single. . . . The surprising Brooklyn Dodgers have won eight of their last 10 games, all from frst division clubs. And in that stretch the Dodgers ended the Pittsburgh winning streak at 13 straight, snapped the Cubs’ string at seven, which incidentally was followed by the firing of Charlie Grimm as Cub pilot, and then the Brooks turned around and handed Gabby Hartnett his first shutout as a manager after bowing to his leadership in his first game at the helm. Luke Hamlin, who blanked the Bruins yesterday. is a former American Association chucker up from the Milwaukee Brewers. . . . Boiling Burleigh Grimes, Dodger chief, is having his day at last.

HE big gun of the Newark Bears, International League leaders, these days is Catcher Buddy Rosar, who picked up where he left off when he returned from the injured list . His current mark is 400, and he boasts a 32-point margin over Charlie Keller, last vear's International batting champion. With Bill Dickey slated to be around for several more years it is hard to figure Rosar’s future in the Yankee chain. Kelier is still a feared batter. . A pitcher who stops him is hailed for his feat. . Thus Ken Rafensberger, a Cardinal farmhand now with Rochester, is being touted as a real big league prospect. Ken, a 21-year-old southpaw with a slow curve, got Keller on strikes on three straight trips to the plate in a recent battle between the Red Wings and Bears = = ” EFTY LEE GRISSOM of the Cincy effective pitchers in the majors last year and Manager MecKechnie figured on him to win 20 games this season, with a fair shake in luck. But Grissom injured his shoulder during 1938 spring training and has been unable to prove of any value to date. Grissom won 12 games and lost 17 last year when the Reds were a poor last and his earned run average was in the league's top bracket at 3.25.

In addition to holding the hard hitting Indians scoreless, he fanned 12 of them to bring his year's strikeout total to 127. He yielded only five hits, all of them singles, and no man got beyond second base.

WASHINGTON, July 22 (U, P.) .— Dr. Lloyd Collins, examining physician, said today Rudy York, ine jured Detroit catcher, would be dismissed from a Garfield Hospital to« night after 2<-ray photographs revealed York suffered no skull frace ture. Dr. Collins added, however, that York should rest a week before playing again. York, one of the Major League's home run leaders, was knocked down by a fast ball thrown by Monte Weaver in the fourth inning of the Detroit-Washington game yesterday. Three stitches were taken in his scalp at the hospital.’ The first person to reach York after he had fallen was Mickey Cochrane, Detroit manager, whose catching career was ended last year when his skull was fractured by a pitch from Bump Hadley of the Yankees.
