RECORDS
 AGAIN BROKEN
Polymelian Comes Within a Second of Tying Worlds
 Record-Other Races.

Saratoga, Aug. 3-FuFtheF evidence that the rebuilt track of the Sara tega Racing Association is lightning gas was supplied yesterday; when on the second day of the meeting two track records were smashed. This, added to the one made Thursday by Roamer and another equaled by liar ry Kelly, makes it likely that the whole set of figures will receive a se- were shaking before the end of the meeting..
 W. R. Goes Polymelian, admitted ly the handsomest race horse in train ing, showed that his speed is worthy of his superb conformation when he carried 129 pounds and ran six fur longs in 1:10 3-5. Fairbrother kept only a steady hold on him all through the race and never attempted to drive the flashy son of Pelymelian. For a time 1t was circulated that this performance created 8 new worlds record, but old racing men remem- bered that Iron Mask had travelled the distance over a circular course at Juarez a second faster.
 The performance of the imported colt was exceptional as itc Tipped two- fifths of a second from the track mark made by E. F. Cooney's Punch Bowl in 1914. It was the more re- markable as the great sprinter was so sore from recent work that he could scarcely be dragged from his stall to be groomed for the race. All trace of lameness disappeared as soon pc hn arrrar- lian rushed into lead of three lengths in, the first quarter of a mile.
 Outside of the brilliant work of Polymelian the race held great inter- est in the improvement shown by Sun Briar. which many turfmen have been | prepared to throw in the discard for ] the year. Knapp began to urge Sur l Briar at the head of the stretch and though he never threatened the flyinG leader, he finished with such a burst of speed that he was only a length and a half behind Polymelian at the end, and snatched the place oy nai1 a length.
 Besides the joy caused by the vic. ] tory of Polymelian MT. Coe had the satisfaction of seeing his colors car. ried to the. front in the first race b1 Lacework, two-year old lilly whicF he bought from the Duke of West minister with the idea of using as z saddle pony. Lacework also wa!

Kendall Victor at Deal

Percy W. Kendall removed two good golfers from the Deal invitation tournament yesterday by defeating Richard A. Haight of Princeton and L. G. SpindIer of Fox Hills in the first and second rounds, respectively.
 Haight got so much length off the tees that he rarely had more than an iron shot left, but it was inability to control the short shots that cost the former interscholastic star the match While not quite so long. Kendall gen. orally kept out of trouble and made few mistakes on the greens. He went out in 39, turning for home up, and won by 4 and 2. Later on, Spindler forced the Deal man to the home green.
 The other survivors of the day were H. c. Kayser of Union County Coun- try Club, John E. Kelley and Deal, and Alfred Nathan, Jr., another of the home talent. Nathan eliminated Pierre A. Proal, one of the tourna- ment favo~ites. ProaI stood up with five holes to play, yet Nathan squared Accounts on the home green and then won at the nineteenth.
 Besides the semi-fnal and final | round matGhes in all divisions, there will be an 18-hole medal play handi- cap today, while the triple tie for the medal in the qualifying round be. tween Kendall, Kayser and Haighi | will be decided tomorrow.

 After Sept. 1.

Chicago, Aug. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, on his departure for Cleveland last night to attend special meeting of the league said he would net be @ party to @ baseball game played after Sept. 1.

Milton Enters Auto Race

Tommy Milton, who at first was thought the winner of the Hardness Handicap on June l, Is the first of the star automobile drivers to be heard from in connection with the $25,OOO International Sweepstakes, to be held at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 27. Milton had not been invited, but last night he wired from Providence requesting that his entry be accepted.
 The conditions call for each driver to post $2,0OO toward the $25,O00 purse guaranteed by the manage ment, and each car entered must have attained a speed of at least 110 miles an hour. Milton wired his willing ness to put up $2,00O. In losing to De Palma by several seconds in the Hardness, Milton showed that his car could travel 110 miles an hour.
 Invitations to compete have been extended to Ralph De Palma, Arthur Duray, Louis Chevrolet, Dario Resta, and Ralph Mulford. None of these champion pilots has been heard from yet but the management expects to hear from all shortly, as the entries close Aug. 10.

Burns and Moore in
 Eight Round Draw

New York, Aug. 3-Frankie Burns of Jersey City and Pal Moore slugged through eight furious rounds to a draw at the Jersey City Baseball Park last night. The battle was so close that a decision might have been given either way.
 There was little attempt at fancy boxing, and while at the end Moore might have been q shade stronger, thee leaner work done by Burns in the first six rounds more than offset this advantage,
 It was a match that had the crowd cheering throughout as the boys stood toe to toe. with neither willing to take a step backward. They con- centrated their attacks on the body and while an occasional head punch was tried, there were in the minority.
 Burns came down to the seventh round with 8 slight lead on points, but Moore tore into the battle with renewed viger. As he slugged away te the body, tfle crowd thought that some of his punches were landing low. Burns, however, gave no indi= cation of being feuled and fought | away at top speed.

Giants Release Smith

The Giants yesterday released Geo. Smith, former Columbia pitcher, to the Dodgers. Smith has had an ad- venturous career this season. He started with the Giants and was re- leased to Cincinnati in an agreement by which McGraw had the power to recall
 Smith was recalled after the club lost Barnes and Benton, but recently a deal was arranged with the Boston club by which Smith was to be sent to the Braves in exchange for Bunny Hearne. Hearne, however, would not be enticed out of retirement and that deal fell through. Then it was said Smith had been loaned to St Louis for the rest of the season, but Smith now goes to Brooklyn in q full release.

BROWNS DOWN YANKEES 3-2
St. Louis Captures Pastime By Failure of Yanks to
 Hit in Pinches.

St. Louis, Aug. 3-TAe Yankees lost another of those clese decisions yesterday afternoon when they open ed a four game series with the Browns, the home team getting the verdict by a score of 8 to 2: Up to the eighth inning, the game had all the appearances of a shutout, but circuit clout by Ray Caldwell In this frame with a runner on second changed that aspect. Caldwell also hit a double in the second Inning. In the ninth Ham Hyatt delivered a pinch hit to start a rally, but the side was retired with Peck1npaugh, who ran for Hyatt, on third base.
 As has happened in so many re- verses of the Yankees recently some high class pitching was wasted be- cause the New Workers were next to helpless themselves on the attack George Mogridge allowed the Browns only six hits, but this total was two more than the Yankees were able to collect off Wayne Wright one of the youthful members of Jimmy Burke's pitching staff. A poor throw to the plate by Bill Lamar in the second inning proved costly as he had a good chance to prevent scoring, and the bad peg paved the way to two runs.
 For seven innings Wright set the Yankees down in order. Caldwell alone through his double in the sec ond frame, got on the bases and ho was retired before the next hitter had toed the plate by overrunning the bag. That was the one hit for the Yankees up to the eighth, when Baker led off l with a double to left centre. Cald- well followed with his home run that brought the Yankees within one run ] of the Browns, after W hich Wright went along in the usual way and re- tired the next three batsmen in or der.
 The Browns picked up their first two runs in the second inning. With one out Hendryx doubled to right and Gedeon flied to Caldwell. Aus tin singled to left and Lamar with | time to get Hendryx at the plate fol the final throw out, threw poorly, the ball bounding past Walters and roll ing to the stand. Hendryx scored and Austin got around to third base scoring a minute later on a passed
 ball.
 In the eighth Austin doubled tt light and reached third on an infielt out. With the New York infiel(
 playing in close for play at th'
 plate, Wright popped Texa Leaguer over Pratt'es head and Aus h{p scorod

"Cy" YOung's Records
 Are Still UnbrOken.

In the calendar of baseball the third of August is set apart as sa- cred to the baseball memory of the first and greatest "Cy" Young. It was on that date in 1890, just twenty eight years ago today, that Denton TecUmseh Young donned the uniform of the. Cleveland Nationals and pitch ed his first game in the majors. That was the beginning of a pitching career which lasted for twenty-two years before old ''Cy" finally doffed the dia- mond livery and retired to 0 farm in his native Ohio.
 During his long career Young hung up many records. for his successors to shoot at. He pitched three mo- hit games, one for Cleveland Nation- als and two for the Boston Americans. The first was in 1897, with Cincin- natl as the victim. In 1904, for the Red Sox, he twiried the greatest game of his life against the Athletics, not man reaching first base, Young s last no hit game was twirled in 1908, his last year with the Red Sox. Ans 1 other record was made by Young on the last day of April in 1904, when he went irfte the box in ths third inning and pitched the remainder of the game, retiring twenty=one bats men censeeutively. The next time
 "Cy" WAS chosen for box duty was against the Athletics, and not a mar
