BIG LEAGUE RACES
SEEN AT A GLANCE

More Kaleidoscope shifting in
the two big league races yester.
lay-and In both cases bringing
sadness 20 New York.
The RrookIyn Robins won at
ST. Louis, and, as the Clncin-
natl Reds dropped n game to the
Braves, moved back into first
place, 2 percentage points ahead
Of the Reds. The Giants suf-
Tered their third setback In two
days mt Pittsburgh, 6 TO 3, after
having the game sewed up, and
sank a little lower In third place.
they are Is points away from the
lead to-day, and the Pirates,
close behind, are distinctly n
menace. The old National may
have fOur.cOrnered fight for
the pcnnant. after all.
The Yanks, by bowling to the
Browns, lost their slim hold on
second place in the American
League race. The Indians, win
ming, while the White SOx were
losing, went back into the run
ner-up position, and are only 3
points behind the leaders. II Is
pretty race as II stands and
can hardly get any closer.

down to q stride for stride battle
Leonardo II. fought it out gamely, and
at the finish line, with the crowd on

forgotten enthusiasm, the colt was

stride too late.
Before the official numbers went up
some were sure that PIudery had
won, others were equally certain that
Leonardo ii. had lasted. In either
case the wish was father to the
thought.
Gallant and game as was Prudery's
efIort, nothing can or should be
taken away from Leonardo II. or
Kimban Patterson, who painstakingly
developed and trained him into one of
the best colts OF the year. 1t WASN'T
Leonardo's fault that Prudery didn't
get away on her toes with him and

h In this State under the Walker
law have Little new to announce

cense Committee held a joint meeting
last night at the New York A. C.
Chairman Joe johnson OF the COM
mission said that no club has filed an
application for a license. He says
there Is a delay in the operation of
the law because the Attorney General
has not yet passed on the legality OF
The Application forms that the COM
mission has drawn up and the State
Comptroller has not yet issued a rail-
ing on what form OF bond II will ac-
cept. II Is necessary under the law
for each club to file bond of $4,000
The commission has not selected its
quarters but hopes TO do so by Sat-
urday. This is another reason that
J the law Is delayed in getting in mo-
ton. as managers, boxers, promoters
! and so forth don't know where to To-
cato the commissioners 50 as to seek

there Is no doubt the fight will run
smoothly with him acting as referee.
