Fast Program.

The diehards who, supperless, stayed for the full 55-hour harness program at the fair grounds yesterday should have enough entertainment to nourish them until next year. ‘ Altogether the program included 17 heats and would have had /a couple more, had ‘not officials adopted the suggestion of Sep Palin that the two three-heat freé-for-alls be limited to two miles apiece. But there was quality as well as quantity. The crowd saw some of the closest competition of ‘the week-~ ; it saw the cameraman have his busiest day - photographing - the finishes, and it saw the quickest time of the current meeting on. yesterday's lightning-fast track. : There was even/the happy ending at 6:54 p. m. when an Indianapolisowned mare won the day's final heat by just a portion of its nose. It was Marylin Chief, out of the Leo McNamara stables, that turned this trick—maybe because the McNamara clan was out in numbers for the performance. Two of the fastest horses on this year's tracks came out for the free-for-all" events, with Dr. Spencer, out of the E. J. Baker stables at St. /Charles, Ill, dominating the trot, and King’s Counsel, from the same stables, taking straight heats in the pace. The latter, incidentally, was reined by Harry Fitzpatrick to the best mile of the current meeting with a time of 2:01 on the first heat. Four heats were necessary to determine the victor in the first division of the 2:15 trot, and the eventual victor was the Castleton (Ky.) “farm's Carmel Boy. Miss Key, New Jersey-owned filly, won the. second division in straight heats, : YESTERDAY'S RESULTS

- Self -Addresseds Return

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—As Walter Pate, captain of the ™

Davis’ cup tennis team, was saying, nobody beat Don Budge once he had reached ‘his peak. The same was trye of Bob Jones in golf. At least they didn’t beat him often. In his last nine years of competition he was first or

second in 11 of 12 starts in the twa classic opens, - the / American and the British. This doesn’t appear to be true of the curtent golfers. Not even the name professionals. What happened this season in their three most distinguished championships, the Open, the P. G. A. and the Masters? The cake was sliced three different ways. No individual appeared who was capable of dominating the three challenges. And there were times when even the amateurs turned them back. This is a pertinent reminder as the Simon Pures begin to gather over in New Jersey (Baltusrol) for their first National champione ship since the war, It is a suggestion that perhaps the amateurs are in for a resurgence, a return to the days when there was usually one or two around who had to be figured as a prospective winner in any field. Of course, in’ the Jones ‘era, there was only one and that was the Georgia peach. But before him there were Francis Ouimet, Jerry Trayers and Chick Evans. And later there were Johnny Goodman, George von Elm and Lawson Little. When the firing starts over bunkered Baltusrol on Monday there will be two players in the field whose performance against the professionals this season point them up as dangerous citizens, Cary Middlecoff, Memphis dentist, and Frank Stranahan, a dilgttante Weight i out of Toledo. ” » ' They. both knocked the pros off at their own i this season, Middlecoff won the North and South Open with 280 to finish five strokes ahead of -Denny Shute. Stranahan threw a 277 at them te take the Durham Open. Still another amateur, Fred Haas of New Orleans, turned in an even more remarkable job:. He averaged. 67.5 strokes for 270 to wrap up the Memphis Open, and in so doing stopped Byron Nelson's streak of 12 tournament wins = A row, » $. % » But Haas will not be seen in action at Baltusr). Shortly aftee his ‘Mémphis triumph he renounced silver trophies for silver coin and turned professional himself. Had he remained in the fold it is almost certain he would have been favored to take the National amateur, for he was one of our best in pre-war play. Neither Middlecoff nor Stranahan was so well known. This is only the second time Middlecoff hag, qualified for the amateur and in 1940, his first break-through, Haas briskly ushered him to the sidelines in- the first round. Stranahan was unable to make the grade until this season. Even so, the locker room bookies have made him the favorite. n a 8 . ” » ” This, of course, does not necessarily guarantee he will wim, Anything can happen in the amateur, especially in the sudden-death 18-hole matches.
