emo Australian champions at st.
q Andrews, Scotland. Barnes beat the

Judgment
The Rancocas stables, owned by
Harry Sinclair and trained by sam
Hildreth, have won more than sixty
races and earned over 100000 in
purses this season.
Sinclair has spent lavishly. He
paid over $500 600 for the five horses
-~Inchcape, Playfellow, Grey Lag,
William A. and Knobbie.
He has shown rare judgment in
buying. Playfellow, brother of Man
o. War. has proved the only counter
felt,
In Hildreth he has the greatest
trainer. lie lIdlIltu Nlhlii5 ANY

Vintage
Kid Gleason. ~fifty-seven. and man
eyer of the Chicago White Sox,
doesn't like being called Pop"
IN And in strength, personality and
4 pep he is far from being in the arm
chair category.
Gleason can possibly whip any ball
player his size-and a lot of them
who are bigger.
And in the old days, it is said, the
kid has had to resort TO this means
of bossing his players.
Nobody likes to be called old. In
Gleason's case he certainly does not
deserve to be called Pop"
In a close race the runne with
the extra squirt wins.
Charley Paddock, fastest runner,
throws himself at the tape and
wins.
Joie Ray, best miller, spurts on
the stretch.
Man o. War could finish like a
streak.
Pennant races this year will be
won by the clubs that squirt.
In the American League Cleve-
land and New York are see-sawing
back and forth from the inside rail
with Washington a length back.
In the national, Pittsburgh is half
a length ahead of New York and
Boston is coming on as a possible
dark horse.
The clubs with strength to throw
themselves at the tape like Paddock
to squirt like Ray, or to thunder
down the stretch like Man o War,
will win the pennants.
Opposite
Abe Mitchell and George Dun
can, visiting English golf stars, are
Numerically opposite In appearance
and in their golf mannerisms.
Duncan, the Scot, bristles with
pep. Mitchell the decidedly English
type, is a keen, s%toiCal, silent man.
Duncan seems TO always be in a
hurry on the links. Mitchell takes
his own good time.
Duncan doesn't seem to Concen-
Erate. Mitchell looks over every
Nbt1tng ~Gfrefuliy.
Control
1AS6 Watson. iron man of the Bos
Braves. is a mean" balltserver.
That is, he never pitches what a
latter calls a good ball" to hit at.
Gifted with marvellous control, he
B4tches to the batter's weakness
every time he shoots off his artil-
apry.
He is a low server most of the
f1me. His head is as coo as his arm
tr consistent.
M Color
Coach Robert Zuppke figures out
botball a little finer every year.
This year he had a little talk with
NE Illinois psychologists and found
put hat orange-colored jerseys got
better results than blue.
Accordingly, the traditional blue
U3 Illinois will change to the more
Ancient orange this fall.
Zuppke's color scheme is the first
Holorful football story that's come
out 20 far this year.
