BELMONT STAKE
 EASTERN AFFAIR
Neither Black Gold Or Nellie Morse Eligible
 For $50,O0O Race

NEW YORK, May 19.-The proud eastern race horses, so thoroughly humbled by the westerners in last Sat urday's Kentucky Derby, will run for a sort of consolation championship in the famous Belmont stakes at Belmont Park on June z, the last of the three big spring races for the 3-year-old class.
 Neither Nellie Morse, the lilly that won the Preakness, nor Black Gold, winner of the Kentucky Derby, is eligible for the Belmont St. James and Sarazen, which were regarded as two of the best 3-year4olds until a little more than a week ago, also will be out because of the ailments which prevented them from challenging Black Gold in the Derby
 The Belmont, like the Preakness and Derby, is $50,000 event Sixty-four horses remain on the entry listA includ- ing Ordinance, Lucky Play, Mad Play, Transmute and Revenue Agent Beau Butler, the western horse, which was third in the Derby, also is expected to run. Belmont Park opens Thursday with the Metropolitan handicap.

A LTHOUGH they did not even don "A their uniforms or toss n ball, the
 Cincinnati Reds advanced from a tie for first place to first position in the National league Monday. This hap pened when the Giants lost to the Pirates in Pittsburg by a score of G to 3. There was rain in Cincinnati and consequently the Reds and Brook lyn Dodgers did not play.
 Tho Giants tried desperately to
 avert defeat. In the ninth inning
 they scored tive runs, but this was
 insufficient to overcome . OUm-
 manding lead which the Pirates
 had compiled in the earlier innings.
 Last Wednesday the Reds wrested the lead from the Giants but lost it, two days later. The Giants appear to have weakened considerably since they left the east for the west, where stronger opposition was anticipated. Their pitching staff is apparently beginning to crumble and their usually heavy bat ting attack has been kept comparatively inactive. Since leaving New York the Giants have lost two out of three in Philadelphia, four games in q row in St. Louis, two out of four in Chicago, and now the first of a three-game series with the Pirates.
 The Reds, too, have been unfOrs
 tunate. The Boston Braves won

TOMMY GIBBONS
 IS BEAR AT BAT
Hits a Home Run Every Time
 He Steps Up, Report

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May 19.- Tn preparation for his fight May 31 with Georges Carpenter, the French boxer, Tommy Gibbons this afternoon went through an eight-round workout at his Grand Beach camp. Andre An derson bore the brunt of the St. Paul Stars attack. After the ring work Gib- bons skipped rope awhile and then punched the bag.
 Carpenter limited himself to two rounds in the ring at his outdoor train ing quarters on Sheridan Beach. He believed the weather too cold for spar ring and 50 devoted his time to the punching bag and his skipping rope and to a session with the sandbag.
 The Frenchman said he probably would train here for other fights in America this summer.
 In a game of baseball this morning between camp followers and Michigan City team Gibbons knocked q home run every time he came to bat.

 Epinard was the overwhelming favor ite at to 3. The winner paid a lit tie better than 215 to l.
 The time for the race, which was over a distance of1 300 meters was one min ute, twenty seconds. F
 After the race, NJ. Wertheimer said !:
 "I think I made mistake; don't think Epinard can give Sir Gallahad n pounds"
 Are you satisfied with the race? P he was asked.
 T have no complaint to make against Haynes and would give him the mount tomorrow under similar cir cunstances. Haynes will ride my horse in England and American the coming summer.
 Plans Are Unchanged
 '"The defeat of Epinard does not change my plans for the American trip as arranged. There is no conditions attached to my contract. Epinard will refrain from racing in Europe just previous to sailing.
 II feel that in giving away weight and losing by nose my horse has not lost caste. We are going to Ascot to run in the Kings Stand stakes and the All Aged stakes tJune I9120l. Should we meet defeat in these races MsjoF Belmont will not have to cancel the contract. will do so myself.
 "I don't want to go to America un- less I feel l own the best horse in the world which, despite his defeat today, am still convinced do own."
 Commenting on the racing M.. Cohn, Sir Gallahad's owner said:
 ''I don't want to be one of those I told you SO gentlemen. Results speak for themselves. have told you Sir Gallahad would win; there it is."
 Frank O'Neill smilingly remarked This was one of the easiest winning races of my career. never was really challenged"

ST. LOUIS STARS
 BEATEN AT WOOD
Black Barons Open Stay With 6 to 4 Win
 Over Rivals

Clustered hits at scattered intervals gave the Black Barons of Birmingham an added jump in their home series with the All-Stars of St. Louis, Mo-, Mon day at Redwood, the locals making it 3-f, when they merged q 6 to victor. The count was tied and united twice before the final winners were decided.
 First Baseman McAllister's scream ing triple in the sixth which scored Stratton and Mccall gave the Black Barons the big end of the score. All around good work in the field with pitching edged with the sauce that wins games was part of the exhibition put up by the locals.
 St. Louis was in no way backward in their work, hitting whenever given the slightest opening and showing a bit of unexpected drive here and there that made them dangerous. Four thousand paid admissions were registered at the gates, and with the praying strains of full brass band the occasion was i'm deed of gala nature.
 Closed Successful Trip
 Birmingham returned here at noon Monday after q most successful in- vasion of the central states. Indian apolis tasted the bitter salt of defeat in one series while the locals made it two and one from St. Louis in the games played there. The All-Stars are anxious for revenge and after the bitter dose they were forced to swallow Mon- day, fandom is expecting them to come back with punch Tuesday. The game will begin promptly at 3 o'clock at Rick wood, big league and Southern associa- tion scores, with excellent seats for white patrons are part of the offering made by the management of the park.
 Mccall Holds Visitors
 Twas Mccall who did the stuff for Birmingham, with men on the sacks in the fifth and St. Louis showing a dan gerous rallying spirit he relieved Poin- dexter and stopped them cold. After he scored later in the play the locals put on hard face and refused to re- linquish their lead.
 Bobo was the hitting star for the visitors. He pulled a long drive for the circuit and singled sharply. Taylor, the visiting manager, played a pretty game at third base. At one time he wore a Black Baron uniform.
 Birmingham opened up the fun in the second, putting two across. St. Louis rallied sharply in the fourth and fifth and sixth to tie the score and then take the lead. But in the first of the seventh the locals came back with vengeance and put over three tallies, enough to win the game with McCalPs good pitching and the excellent support afforded him hv his mates

feur straight in Cincinnati last
 week, rather surprising exhibi-
 tion.
 Generally speaking, it is tue
 weakness of the Giants, rather than
 the aggressiveness of the Reds, that
 has kept Jack Hendricks men
 steadily at the foremost positions
 of the league.
 A careful scrutiny of the National league standing reveals that the race has been a close one The Reds in first place are only five games ahead of the Phillies. The New York-Pitts- burg match was the only one Monday All other eames-Brooklyn and Cincin. nati, Philadelphia and Chicago, and Boston and St. Louis-were postponed because of rain.
 Only two games were played in
 the American league. Howard
 Ehmke pitched the Red Sox to
 9 to victory over the Tigers and
 brought the Bestonians to 8 point
 one game below first place, which
 is occupied by the Yankees.
 The Athletics beat the White Sex ir Philadelphia, to 3, in the other Ameri can league game. The race in tht American league has been a compara lively loose one, as the standings show The Tanks are eight games ahead of the Athletics of last place. '.'

Miss Hollis Wins Gold Medal In
 Metropolitan Play

NEW YORK, May 19.--Miss Marion Rollins, former holder of the American women's golf championship and an in- ternational figure in the sport, left the, rest of the field far behind in Mondays qualifying round of the wOmen's Metro pOlitan championship, one of the largest sectional meets, at the Cherry Valley club, Garden City, l.. I.
 Miss Rollins won the gold medal with a card of 64. which was nine strokes better than the cards of Miss Elise Me Mahon and Miss Marie Jenney, who tied for second, at 03. Her score also was 14 strokes below the qualifying minimum of 98.
 The weather was cold and blustery, and nine of the holes were unfamiliar to almost all of the players, as they had been retrapped during the winter.
