MY OWN RATES
BETTER THAN
zen
Famous New York Turf Expert
Presents Some Very In
teresting Figures.

Facts and figures, in SO far as
thoroughbreds are concerned, are
not to be denied. Slowly New York
turf experts are having it all too
forcibly brought to them that Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson's sensa-
tional King James colt is a greater
piece of racing horseflesn than
Harry F. Sinclair's Zev.
The latest to fall in line is none
other than John J. Fitzgerald,
nationally known and recognized
turf writer on the Morning Tele-
graph. In discussing the Papyrus-
Zev race of next Saturday, Fitz-
gerald brings his article to a con-
clusion with this statement:
MY Own, alternate for Zev in
the international Race, came in
for some praise at Jamaica yester-
fast time Saturday. That per.
Torrance furnishes a line on the
two colts, coming through Spot
Cash and Little Chief. The latter
gave Spot Cash one pound on the
scale in the mile and a quarter
Toronto Cup and beat him three
parts Of a length. Saturday My
Own gave Spot Cash fourteen
pounds to whip him by the same
margin. The two races make the
Grayson colt just thirteen pounds
better than Little Chief.
This comparison Is at q mile
and a quarter. Now our latest line
on Little Chief and Zev, through
Handicapped Vosburgh, is at one
mile and a furlong. In the EdR-
more Handicap he placed 1874 on
Little Chief and 1913 on Zev. This
is two pounds below the scale for
the four-year-old and five above for
the three-year-old In other words
Vosburgh rates Zev only seven
pounds better than Little Chief.
Racing has proven My Own
thirteen pounds better than Little
Chief at a mile and a quarter. The
Handicapped says ZeV is seven
pounds better than Little Chief at
at a mile and a furlong. The an
swer is right in your hand.
TheoriZing along this line makes
My Own superior to the colt who
will meet Papyrus on Saturday.

NJ FLUKE ABOUT
YANKEE WIN,

Dezendorf Declares Team
That Can Always Come

By j. ID. DEZENDORF,
Washington Times Guest at World
SAFieA

Those six days in New York as
guest Of The Washington Times
will always stand out in my life as
my very first, real, big adventure.
From a sporting standpoint. the
world series which has just come to
an end furnished more thrills to the
square inch than any / have ever
read about from a long distance,
and of all those annual classics
which have been jotted down in
history, l would rather have seen
the 1928 attraction than any which
have preceded.
Being from an American League
city, l am naturally exulted over
the fact that my favorites came out
in the front of the race, although
my heart was in my mouth up un-
til the eight inning of the last
game.
In the opening clash in the
Yankee Stadium the Yankees played
little stupidity and was begin
ming to think / was backing the
wrong entry, but little by little they
solved the cunning of the far-faned
Giants and there is no doubt in
my mind but what the best team
won.
1 am now confident that the
Yankees could beat the Giants in a
long or short series. There was
absolutely nothing fluky about their
victory, as twice they were behind
and evened the thing, and If they
weren't behind again yesterday up
until the notorious eighth, then I'rN
deaf, dumb, blind or all three.

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
PUNTERS WITH OLD ELI

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct. 1e.-
Considerable attention will be paid
by the Yale football coaches this
week to the development of the
Kicking game, a weakness in that
department having cropped up in
Saturdays game.
Charley O'Hearn and Neale, the
two first string halfbacks, are good
kickers. but in their absence Yale
cannot put on the field a first class
punter. Stevens did fairly well on
Saturday. but when he was hurried,
his kicks were poor. He is such
a valuable man with the ball that
DR.. Bull, the professor of kicking
in the Yale football faculty, will
doubtless make him a star pupil this
week.
The fine work of Milstead. the
big tackle. and Stevens and Pond
in the backfield yesterday was
pleasing to the Yale coaching staff.
Milstead will be a bulwark on the
left side Of the Yale line and with
the developmnt of a tackle and
guard OF strength on the right stie,
Yale's line should be strong enough.

itself.
Those who thought that the
Yankees were frOnt-runneFs, who
could not como from behind

we showed them something. We

No team could have fought more
valiantly for the game than the
Giants. They fought us tooth and
nail all the way through. and there
were balls hit which bore the hasa
hit label, but they never got any
place worth while.
/ never saw finer play by any
man than frankie Frisch pulled in
the fourth inning when he raced

That was a sure base hit. but

just as much gracious in defeat as
he is in victory, although I know
how he must have felt that defeat.
Arthur Nehf lost nothing in pres
tige by his defeat. Consider that in
the first seven innings that we hit
only three balls into the outfield.
One Of these was single by Ward,
the other Babes homer, and Wits

Nehf had wonderful stuff, and he
also had q fine day in fielding his
