SPORTS By Eddie Ash
IN THE opinion of Fred Keats, New York Mirror racing expert, the victory of Jim Dandy in the Travers Stakes of 1930 at the Saratoga track has been the cause of more arguments than any other event in turf history, + « « The race was run on Aug. 16. Now that Saratoga is about to open another season, the details of one of the most famous turf upsets of all-time may be of interest and Keats picks it out of his files like this: “The track was muddy and only four horses started. They were ©. Earl's Jim Dandy, carrying 120 pounds; Belair Stud’s Gallant Fox, 126; H. P. Whitney’s Whichone, 126, and W. 8. Kilmer’s Sun Falcon, 117. W. R. Coe’s Caruso bad been entered but was a late scratch. “Betting on the event was confined for the most part to Gallant Fox and Whichone, outstanding contenders for the championship and each possessing a rabid following. Jim Dandy and Sun Falcon, to all appearances, were just running for third money. “Gallant Fox closed favorite at 1 to 2 with Whichone the second choice at 8 to 5. Sun Falcon was 30 to 1 and Jim Dandy closed at 100 to 1 after opening at 50 to 1. “That was a long price on Jim the Dandy because the vear before he had won an important stake on just such a muddy track. However, interest in the duel between the two stars was so keen, few gave a thought to Jim and his mud running ability. «Jim was ridden by S. Baker. Earl Sande was up on Gallant Fox and Sonny Workman had the mount on Whichone.
<Eight Lengths to the Good
“WHICHONE set the early pace with Gallant Fox close behind him. The two outsiders were well back. Jim Dandy made his move at the stretch turn, coming through on the inside when the leaders went wide for the better going. Once in front, Jim drew out rapidly and finished eight lengths to the good. “Gallant Fox defeated Whichone six lengths for the place, the latter going lame in the stretch. Sun Falcon never got close at any stage. . ” ”n n ” ” ” “JIM DANDY won a purse of $27,050 for himself and a few small ~ wagers for the lads who like to shoot at the moon. “If you believe all the stories told after the race, there were more bets placed on the winner than on the 1 to 2 favorite, but the sad truth is that the books searched in vain for so-called sucker bets on the outsider with very few accepting the tempting odds.”

Indians Thump
|Columbus in
S ® eo e eries Final Don’t sell the hometown Indians short. Not after that performance at Victory field last night, at any rate. They collected 13 hits and 13 runs. and played an errorless game while thumping:the Columbus Red Birds, 13 to 3. The Redskins completed their
{July home stand in a blaze of glory
and base hits and Woodie Rich pitched a masterpiece by striking out nine Red Birds and holding them to seven blows. He allowed only four hits in six innings, then eased up in the ninth behind a handsome lead and the Birds got three in that stanza. Woodie retired the side in order in five of the nine rounds as his curve ball clipped the corners and caused the visitors to stir up a breeze as they swung and missed.
* Series Is Divided
The victory gave the Indians a split in the four game series and kept them in the sizzling American association race. They still are sixth, but only one-half game behind fifth and 7% games behind league leading Kansas ‘City. Columbus lost second place by losing the series finale and was passed by Milwaukee, now one game behind Kansas City. The big lesgue races don’t compare at all in interest and ‘excitement to what’s going on in the old A. A. American association teams now will take time out for their annual all-star game. to be played at Kansas City tomorrow night. Prior to that, the Indians are to play an exhibition in Lafayette, Ind., tonight, after which they will return home and rest until they resume championship competition in St. Paul Saturday.
Chase Munger In Fifth
The Indians got hot right at the jump-off last night and slammed out two singles and a double for two runs in the first inning. Johnny McCarthy belted the double and batted in the runs. The Redskins got another marker in the third and then sent Pitcher George Munger to the showers in the fifth by splurging for four in that one canto. Their eighth run was scored in the sixth and in the seventh they staged a three-run uprising. Their last two markers were chalked in the eighth. The Red Birds fell apart in the field and committed six errors. Chances are they got dizzy chasing Tribe base hits and lost their pepper. Joe Moore and Joe Bestudik paced the Indians’ batting attack with three blows apiece and McCarthy and Gil English batted in three runs each.
More Than 4200 On Hand
It was “ladies’ night” and more than 4200 fans turned out and watched the Indians go on a batting rampage. Paid attendance to date at Victory field passed 112,000 last night and the Indians have 26 games remaining at home. remaining here total 21. The team returns home on ‘Aug. 6 after making league’s western sector.” Players McCarthy, Bestudik and’ Blackburn are to play in the exhibition at Lafayette tonight and then speed to Kansas City to perform with the -all-stars against the Blues tomorrow night. Secretary
Al Schignsker also will make the trip. (E. A).

In between she drew a bead on the cup for one birdie and three pars for a 36 and an 18-hole total of 73. Miss Ellis’ stellar play overshadowed the extra hole match between Mrs. Robert Laycock, Pleasant Run, and Miss Carolyn Pickering, Anderson Country club. Miss Pickering had visions of playing in today’s quarter-final round when she led 3 up with’ three holes to go yesterday. A trap and an overshot to the green lost her Nos. 16 and 17. She approached the 18th hole needing only a halve to win. She holed out for a six while Mrs. Laycock putted in for a par 5.

Rosar Can't Play Cop and Ball
BUFFALO, N. Y. July 22 (U. P.).—Catcher Buddy Rosar of the New York Yankees will not be permitted to divide his time between baseball and the Buffalo police department, Mayor Joseph J. Kelly said today. Rosar left the Yankees without permission to take an examination for the police job, announcing that he would play baseball in the summer and serve as a policeman during the winter if he passed the test. Today, however, Mayor Kelly said that Rosar was aware of the civil service rule that forbids leaves of absence to policemen during their first year of probationary service. Rosar is now in Cleveland with the Yankees. He has been fined $250 and is riding the bench. Rollie Hemsley, ex-Cincinnati backstop obtained by the New York club a few days ago, is doing the catching in the absence of the ailing Bill Dickey.
