GTREAMLINED Greyhound, 1:56, champion trotter over "all, was scheduled to perform in the Trotting Derby, a special race at Goshen, N. Y., today and Hoosier followers of the harness sport felt a personal interest in the event. +... Trained and driven by Sep Palin, Indianapolis, the long striding trotter entertained railbirds at the Indiana State Fair Grounds last year and will be back in September to show his speed during Fair Week. Greyhound was an ugly duckling that grew into a picture horse. . . . E. J. Baker, of St. Charles, Ill, bought the champion as a yearling for a mere $900, but the colt had the best of blood lines and Mr. Baker took a chance on the

: scrawny, ungainly baby. .

The thin legged trotter really didn’t come into his own until he was three, when he bagged the rich Hambletonian, the Kentucky Derby of the harness world.

# » 2 % » » o REYHOUND is six now and Sep Palin says he is better than ever. . .. The champion weighs 1045 pounds. ... He has lowered the record for the mile on both half-mile and mile tracks and has won an abundance of purses since

dropping his first two races as a 2-year-old.

The star of the Baker Hotel Stable lives the life of a king ‘in the horse world. . . . He gets four quarts of oats three times: daily ... at 5 and 11 a. m. and 5 p. m.,, when he also is fed four quarts of wheat bran mixed with water. . . . Fresh water and timothy hay are in his stall at all times. When there is green grass around, he is allowed to graze in the afternoon and is taken for a walk in the cool of the evening. The daddy of the trotters takes a chew of untreated and well-cured scrap tobacco daily, not only because he likes it, but because it is a Preventative against stomach worms. . . ., A he-man is Greyhound orse. 2 ” 8 t 4 # 8

T. PAUL'S Saints have won approximately a third of their victories by a single run margin and their ability to annex the close ones has played a major part in putting the team ahead of the pack in the A.

The pitchers caught up with him and he’ cooled off to .280. . . . For the first time in years no newspapermen are out on the road with the St. Louis Cardinals. . . . The Gas House Gang is short of gas this season and it’s just a case of waiting until next year. After the Cards lost to Brooklyn in the game in which a yellow ball was used, one of the St. Louis wits cracked, “Now let's try pink.”

ABE RUTH has cut his weight 20 pounds since returning to baseball as coach and batting practice exhibition hitter. . . . The three. Yankee games in Cleveland recently drew 164,079 cash customers. The Yanks chalked up 12 victories in 14 sfarts during their last swing through the West. . . . They'll probably have the flag sewed up by the end of the month and then coast to the World Series and extra sugar in their pay checks. Buck Fausett and Milton Galatzer of the Indianapolis Indians are deadlocked for the club batting lead at .330. .. . Last year Buck batted .278 for the Redskins and Milton hit .320 for New Orleans.

EVEN major league talent scouts were named today by Raymond Dumont, president of the National Semipro Baseball Congress, to serve on a hoard which will select an all-American semipro team at the national tournament at Wichita, Kas., Aug. 12 to 24. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Largent of the Chicago White Sox, the only man and wife scouting team in the major leagues, will head the board. . Other members are Hank Severeid, Cincinnati Reds; Cy Perkins, Detroit Tigers; Jack Ryan, St. Louis Cardinals; Pat Monahan, St. Louis Browns, and Nick Allen, Brooklyn Dodgers. Dumont said nine others would be named to the board later this week. > Only players without professional experience will be eligible for selection. A 16-member squad will be named.

Pirates Eye World Series But Keep Fingers Crossed

By BERNARD J. NILLES United Press Staff Correspondent PITTSBURGH, Aug. 9.—Manager Harold (Pie) Traynor and his National League leading Pirates today kept their fingers crossed and adopted the slogan: “Win Today,” in their quest for the pennant.

lof the board of the Pittsburgh

Baseball Club, and one of three women active in major league affairs, says ‘the team “looks to be in a good position; but it’s-a long time betwegn now and Oct. 1.” Mrs. Dreyfuss is the widow of the late owner of the Pirates, who died in February, 1932. “We have a better chance, it appears, than the other teams, and I feel we should get the pennant this year,” she said. “We are keeping our fingers crossed. It should be about time that we had a World Series here. But we've almost had it several times before,” Mrs. Dreyfuss added. Manager Traynor attributes the Pirates’ success during the last two months to the hustling and spirit of the entire team. He credits Jeep Handley, third baseman; Rookie Outfielder Johnny Rizzo, and Rookie

“I think the whole team is hustling and the ball players aré doing just what we Pps of them,” Traynor said. “Do the players talk much about the pennant?” Traynor was asked. “No,” he replied. “They never say a word about it. Their slogan is ‘win today’. ” “What influence has Handley had on the team?” “Well, he’s got a dash about him that the other players catch. And he has that ‘never-say-quit’ spirit. His spirit and play has helped make Arky Vaughan the best shortstop in the league this year.” “Is Johnny Rizzo's batting a big factor In in your winning?” Traynor

“He has batted in 68 runs and we havent had a Bets fielder do that in the past 10 years. Johnny is a very good fielder, es coming in for a ball. In fact, he is playing better than we expected him to.”

Second Place Battles Engage Interest

CHICAGO, Aug. 9 (U. P.)—With excitement in the pennant races dwindling because of the increasingly apparent superiority of the Pirates and Yankees, chief major league interest today centered on the battles for second .place in both circuits. The battle in the National League

Per | is a three-way affair between the

Giants, Cubs and Reds. Six and a half games behind the Pirates, New York holds a game and a half edge over the Cubs and Reds who are deadlocked for third place. Cleveland, trailing the Yankees by 5% games, has only a game and a half advantage over the Red Sox.

The next six days should settle

the Cubs’ pennant chances definitely inasmuch as they move into Pittsburgh for a three-game series with the league leaders after they wind up their three-game series in Cincinnati. . The Cubs’ pitching staff is pretty well shot now with Clay Bryant, Dizzy Dean and Tex Carleton all more or less on the sick and ailing list.

12th Trotting ‘Horse Classic Due Tomorrow

Long Key Continues Role of Favorite; Greyhound Runs Today.

GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 9 (U.P) .~ A field of 10 3-year-olds was nome inated today —— tomorrow's running of the classic Hambletonian Trotting Stake at the Good Time Track. The list included eight colts and

| two fillies. If all 10 start, the stake

value will be approximately $39,000, with upward of $20,000 going to the winner. The favorite probably will be Long Key, owned by E. J. Merkle of Columbus, O. Auction pool sellers rated Long Key a 6-5 choice and there was a possibility the betting might be even money at the start of the first heat. The race is run in mile heats with the horse that first wins two of three heats taking top prize. If a fourth heat is necessary, only those three horses which won the other heats start in it. , The second choice was to be the Hanover Shoe Farm's McLin, recently purchased for $20,000 from Walter Cane, owner of the Good Time Track. The other eight entries are Professor, owned by Mark Kyler, North Tonawanda, N. Y.; Earl's Princess Martha, a filly owned by Earl F. Shropshire, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Champlain, William Hughes, Cleve~ land; Dale Hanover, Elbridge T. Gerry, New York; Earl’s Mr. Will, J, J. Mcintyre, Cleveland; Prohibitor, Arden Homestead Stable, Goshen; Royal Spencer, Blery Farm, Butler, Pa., and the Duchess, a filly owned by W. H. Strang Jr., New York, and J. J. Mooney, Fremont, O. Long Key will be driven by Ben White, only driver to win the stake more than once. He drove Rosalind to victory in 1936 after piloting Mary Reynolds home in 1933. The six-day Grand Circuit meeting, worth $100,000 to prize winners, will be featured today by the ape pearance of Greyhound, E. J. Baker’'s world champion 6-year-old trotter, in the trotting derby—$3500 all-age stake. The gray gelding son

of Guy Abbey, winner of the Hamih 4

n in 1935, today faces Rosalind, 1936 winner, and Farr, second last year.
