SUNNY SLOPE
FOR MARYLAND
Trainer Carman Will Race
Famous Astronomer Colt
at Havre de Grace.

Havre.de Grace. Nd. Sept. s-The
FIRST racing the Astronomer colt
Sunny Slope will do under the silks
OF the Beach stable, the new rae
ing combination which purchased
him from William Martin in New
York a couple OF days back. he will
do at Havre de Grace.
Richard F. Carman. trainer Of the
Beach stable as well as of a big
racing establishment of his own. is
authority for this statemen. Car
man has already AIKEN charge of
Sunny Slope and the big chestnut
will join his own horses here as
soon as transportation can be OBJ
tanned for him. The only races
Sunny Slope will miss at Belmont
Park. II Carman holds to this idea,
will be the Manhattan and Munich
pal handicaps. the former a sprint
OF three-Quarters of a mile, the lat
ter a gallop OF one mile and a half.
Carman says that as he has planned
to do his racing in Maryland this
fall he cannot possibly campaign,
Sunny Slope at Aoueduct Jamaica
and Yonkers.
Carman. who has had Sunny Slope
In mind for some time, has picked a
couple of Havre de Grace good
distance races for his new purchase
and after Sunny Slope starts in
these events he will be trained for
engagements at Laurel Park and
Pimlico. Astronomer is in the
Duxal National. Baltimore and
Washington handicaps at Laurel
Park and the Pimlico Autumn hand
leap and Bowie Cup at PimliCU.
Omar Khayyam. the greatest horse
in the Carman stable last season
trained here for his victory in the
Lawrence Realization at Belmont
Park. and, after winning that great
event from the brilliant Hourless,
he came back to win the Havre de
Grace handicap.
In Sunny Slope Carman believes
he has as coed a distance runner
as Omar Khayyam was last season,
He not only believes that the AS
tronomer colt will prove in Mary
land this fall that he is the best
S-year-old in the country. but that
he can trim the smartest runners
| of mature age that are training here
for Naryland's big fall specials. As
tronomer's feat at Belmont Park Of
winning the Belmont Park Autumn
Handicap at one mile and an eighth
and the Jerome Handicap at one mile
| on succeeding days was remarkable.
He came out Of both races nicely
and has not missed a meal

Babe Ruth is said to be the geezer
to mount the firing step in the first
game on his home grounds. The
chances are that Manager Barrow
will send Babe back il his bunged
finger improves sufficiently. This
series has taken an awful toll OF
fingers among the Bostonese.
There Is Heinie Wagner, whose
busted digit gave him the worst OF
II in the scrap with Otto Knabe. Then
Dave Shean unhinged a finger the
day before opening. and last night
Ruth put his pitching hand on the
bum. He made a playful swing at a
brother athlete in the smoking room
of the Pullman. The brother athlete
lodged and Babe bent the third finger
on his left hand. The steel coach
stayed on the track and finished the
trip to Boston. AS for Ruth. he will
pitch the opening game If Tyler Is on
the bench. Barrow said today that
he wouldn't start his southpaw
Tyler. Mitchell may use Hendrix or
Douglas.
During the journey today Knabe
and Wagner prepared signed state
ments for the national commission
concerning the scrap in the Cub
dugOut on the second day of the
series. Garry Hermann was on the
train waiting for the statements
He had ordered the athletes to make
reports. In his written confession
knabe explained that at the end of
the Cub inning he returned to the
dugout and sat down to rest. There
was nothing else for him to do. A
Cub coach is not allowed on the
field while the other team is at bat.
According to his signed statement
Heine Wagner had urgent business in
the Chicago dugout. His broken fin
ger panied him and he retired to
the Cub bench to rearrange the
splints, having no time to return
TO his own bench. The light in the
Cubs dugout was very poor, so
Heinie stretched out on his back
the better to see what he was doing.
This fully accounts for the mud with
which the back of the Boston coach
was smeared
W nat IlnOlng Ine NaIlOndl CON-
mission will return after perusing
these reports is hard to determine.
Garry Hermann has no power to
send athletes to Fort Leavenworth

The Walk on draws its title
from a vaguely-lisped story Of the
Garden of Eden enunciated in the
first act by the poorest impersona-
ton of a Kentucky negro that has
been seen in Washington since Lin

the effort of a rich young gentle

the rather modern" tendencies OF
a girl he loves.
Two acts-the first two-wsllowed
through a fog OF dreary dialogue,
lighted here and there by a flash or
two OF almost brilliant colloquy, but
more often tarnished by the incessa Mt
efforts OF the authors TO plant stu
atoms which would result in suEges-
tive and salacious scene and dialogue.
Perhaps the best criterion OF the work
of the central fgure-the man from
Kentucky. impersonated by Edmund
Lowe-is expressed by the fact that
he resorted to such Southern idiOms
as honey" "you-alT' and reckon"
which he coupled with a pronunciation
of plaza which sounded like plawza.
The result was hardly-well, plawz-
able.
Only once did Lowe rise to credi-
table heights and that was in A punChv
bit of dramatic action at the end Of
the second act Here he was truly
compelling and convincing. The work
of Fania Marinoff as Sonic Orion. an
artists model, and Roberta Arnold, as
a divorced wife who divorced her hus-
band 10 reform him. struggled vsinly
to illumine a somewhat dark picture.
William Roselle, as Schuyler Ruther-
ford, the divorced husband, was not
half-bread by comparison.
Others named in the dramatis
personae were Frances Underwood.
Elmer Ballard, Mae McGinn,
Charles 4. Stevenson. Percival T.
Moore, Janet Travers, Allison Brad
shaw. Carroll McComas, Fred L.
Tiden and Emmett Shackleford
The metropolis may care for the
work OF the Hattons, but even the
metropolis. it is safe TO say. will de-
mand better direction and more
elastic action and dialogue than was
served up to an audience chiefly
military last night. a fact which
may have accounted for at least a
few Of the langhs.
