YANKEES FAIL OFFERS BIG SUM
 GET GAME WHICH FOR MY OWN AND WOULD WIN FLAGIZEV MATCH RACE

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-An offer of S50,000 for a match race between Harry Sinclalr's colt, Zev, winner of the Kentucky Derby, and generally acknowledged three year-old cham pion of the American turf, and Ad miral Cary Grayson's horse. My Own. has been forwarded to the owners of the two speedsttrs by ,he Maryland state fair.
 Admiral Grayson might be willing to accept but it is not believed that Sinclair will want to race because zev Is entered in the s50,o00 La tonia Derby and might be the one selected to run against the British champion, Papyrrs, in the interna- tional championship race in october, My Own is one of the most formid able opponents of Zev for the honor of carrying the American colors against Papyrus as the American horse has not yet been selected.
 For six furlong race for the two year-old championship between Sar- azen and Happy Thoughts, both un- defeated this season, the Maryland fair offered a purse of S15,000. Sar- azen has won five races.

Only Jazz Music To Be AI[owed AtHorseShow

NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-Suspecting that music sways the mood of horse from grave to gay in the same way that a wearied flapper is sent whirling about a dance floor. The national horse show association has decided that only jazz shall be play ed at this years show which begins November 10.
 "The thoroughbred horse. like the thoroughbred girl, needs stimulus to action says an announcement on behalf of the horse show association. Music stirs the girl and the horse. The best friend of the thoroughbred horse is the thoroughbred girl and what best suits the girl naturally ap- peals to the horse."

FLAG NOT CINCHED' YET BY YANKEES; INDIANS WIN, ,6TO2.

Seven thousand week-day baseball fans made a hasty exit from the Yankee stadium Monday, muttering disgustediy: Not yet-another day or so. perhaps"
 New York's ball-tossers, awaiting q third consecutive pennant with outstretched arms, had just lost to the Indians, the nearest contenders in the American league race. The score was to g. Cleveland had sent their left handler. Sherrod Smith, to do the rescue work. He yielded mere six bingles to the usually ac- tive bats of the Hugmen, while his teammates were hammering Joe Bush and a young recruit named Os- cor Rotterger for thirteen.
 Automatically speaking. the In dians still have remote possibilities of winning the 1923 pennant flag. If the Hugmen should lose all of their remaining 15 games, while the h. dians were to pile up a remarkable winning streak of 2l, Cleveland would have 6 chance to meet the New Workers in a play-off game to decide the race.
