racing the Good Time track, said that he believed 15 horses would start in the two-out-of-three heat race, but niiny veteran grand circuit followers predicted that 20 would go off in the first heat. Strong Rival Rodney, a son of Spencer Scott, 1940 Hambletonian winner, worked & moderate mile yesterday, showing his speed only in the middle half with a clocking of just over 60 seconds. Castleton Farms’ Hoot Mon, regarded as Rodney's strongest rival and the winter book favorite, followed the same pattern as Radney, working a mile -easily and hitting top speed for only two furlongs. Most of the other aspirants to the richest purse in harness racing were on the track for workouts and were pronounced in tep shape by trainers who have been grooming their stars for this one shot at glory.

GOSHEN, N. Y.. Aug. 5 (U.

field of 15 nominations caused officials to divide the race into two divisions. The first five in each heat will meet in a third heat, the winner of which will take down first money. 20,000 Fans Expected A field of 13 was named for the $5000 Tompkins, which derives much of its interest from the fact that seven of its winners have taken the Hambletonian the next year. Rodney was the Tompkins winner last year, A capacity crowd of 20,000 was expected both today and tomorrow at the track—some five times more

A new attendance record may be set because of new stands erected this year, and some railbirds, unimpressed by Rodney or Hoot Mon, predigted that the spectators would see something else of records—a four-heat race: If a different horse wins each of the three heats. A fourth heat, matching the trio of winners, would be run off. That

Woodard Wins Midget Feature

“The Jimmy James racing team was short two cars last night following a smash-up at Soldier field in Cihcago, but that still didn’t keép the outfit from taking down the biggest chunk of cash at the Indianapolis Midget Speedway on W. 16th st. Aaron Woodard of Denver, Colo, driving the one remaining James Offy able to manipulate, set a new track record for qualification at 16:42 seconds and then went ahead to capture a tingling 25-lap feature by five lengths from Johnny McDowell of Los Angeles and a fast field of Offenhausers. Mel Hansen of Alhambra, Cal, whose single lap mark was broken - by Woodard,” finished third in the main event. Woodard got the $100 record prize and the largest share of the $3000 purse made possible by a record crowd of 8430 paying customers. His , time was 6:57.36, about three seconds off Hansen's 25-lap mark. Johnny Byrnes of Indianapolis won the semi-final in 3:07.17 and Hansen nudged Woodard in the handicap dash for the fastest qualifiers. Ted Duncan of Chicago, Leroy

and Roy Newman of Hammond took elimination 10-lap sprints. The appearance at the West side track of Warriner, Bob Breading, Tom Cherry and Kenny Eaton was ‘hailed as 8 truce between warring midget factions. The little cars are die to run again tonight and Friday at the Speedrome, Kitley st, and U. S. 52,| and at the Midget Speedway on Mon- | day.

“That is the kind of a team which doesn’t give up. Morale? We've got: morale. That's what pulled us from last place to second. “And even with the loss of those three games to Brooklyn, we still won nine and lost only four games at home this last stand. Anticipates Trouble “We're still about even with Brooklyn. We beat them four straight and then they beat us three straight.” Dyer said he anticipated plenty of trouble for Burt Shotten's Dodg-' ers and he put his finger on the Bums’ pitching staff as the major worry. “Yes, they're worried about pitching. But they sure had it against us,” he said. “We played some bad ball, and then we didn't have any luck.” Dyer said he had been pleased with the record of his team since the first month of the season. Every time he mentioned that first month, when the Cards could neither hit nor field and slumped to last place, he grimaced.

The railroads have received 44 “rules” ~ demands from the leaders of the operating unions, representing engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. They say they are seeking only changes in working conditions— NOT a wage increase.

More Money For Less Work But what kind of rules are being asked for? Twenty-eight of them would compel railroads to pay more money for the —~— same, or less work; 7 would require ad-

“Made Work’’— Sheer Waste The Union leaders demand that full-length freight trains be cut to about half their length, even though such trains are most efficient for low-cost service to you. This < rule would call for twice as many locomotives, would double the number of trains, and make accidents more likely.
