About the same time that Hickey

queer three-sided deal, which then
brought Gonzales to New York.

Whenever an alteration &C.
ours between a player and an
arbiter, something usually goes
out of the park. This time il
was the baseball.
It happened in the ninth in
ming when Rice went to taps
for our side. Pennock showed
something across which, smelled
like an onion to Rice, but Dineen
christened it a strike.
The chagrined Rice turned
around to Dineen and said:
"Why, you big turnip, haven't
you been in this league long
enough to know that / NEVER
let one go by?"
Dineen answered character
istically by looking the other way;
to which Rice's hair bristled to
a beautiful crimson the while
he said to himself, said he:
"All right, you mole, I'll get
even with you, I'll just knock
tEis next one onto that out
going steamer, ! willw And he
did!
This act made Dineen so sad,
he couldn't see through his mask
for the tears. He wrung his
hands in terror like he'd been
hit on the kneecap, but by this
time Rice was rounding second
base and still getting up speed.
Sum total Of the incident is
that Dineen isn't speaking to
Rice any more on the field or
off. It's a terrible blot on
Dineen's official record to have
a ball knocked out of the park
on him.
But Sam won't be reprimand-
ed, as Judge Lands will rule
that he had sufficient provoca-

WARD WINNER / ON DECATHLON New Orleans Star Shades
 Mateer In Hot
 Contest

NEW ORLEANS, June 3.-Leroy Ward, of the Young Mems Gymnastic club of New Orleans, won the decath- lon, an added event of the southern Olympic tryouts, held today at Tulane stadium, defeating by slight margin Duane Mateer, of Southwestern univer- sity, Georgetown, Texas, the only other contestant.

While Ward only finished ahead of his opponent in the high jump, discus and pole vault, he established lead which his opponent was unable to overcome in the seven events he won. as the differ ence of margin between the two men in the events captured by Mateer was small.

STEVE. DONOGHUE TO
 RIDE ON TOM PINCH
American Jockey, Twice Winner Of British
 Derby, Will Again Try For Victory

LONDON, June 3--A large element of the British population will give reason holiday Wednesday and take leave of their senses in the customary tumult over the hasty progress of the country's best three-year-old horses along a mile and a half course at Ep- som Downs. Wednesday is Derby Day, a sort of safety valve in Great Britain which enables all classes to blow off a heavy charge of enthusiasm that might otherwise be directed against the tax burden, the tram-car service or the price of marmalade.
 Steyey Donoghue, good old Steve, will wear his golden spurs, awarded to him as a repeater in winning the der by, and climb aboard Lord Woolav- ington's colt, Tom Pinch, one of the favorites in the betting. Donoghue, the little fellow who rode Papyrus in New York last fall, is largely respon- sible for Tom Pinch's high standing in the betting, but even his great repu- tation as 8 winning rider in the derby has not been enough to overcome the sentiment in favor of Diophon, owned by the Indian prince, Aga Khan, which is the top favorite sat 6 to l. Aga Khan also expects to start Salmon Trout and May Back both of them, he said Tuesday.
 Kings Horse Entered
 The kings own star entry, Knight of the Garter, hurt himself in training within the last day or so and has been withdrawn an unfortunate thing for the royal colors which have had sin9ularly bad luck in racing since the war ended. Resinato will now be sent to the post under King Georges silks.
 Altogether 31 horses remain in nom- ination for the race but it would not be surprising to hear that half dozen or more have been withdrawn by morn ing. Bright Knight and St. Germans have been named by Lord Aster, the for

For by Wednesday evening some lucky investor of a few shillings on the millionth chance will be advised that he or she has won the Calcutta sweep, a lottGy pool on the race which in 1923 paid $610,000 to a Liverpool woman in modest circumstances. There are innumerable other sweeps of more modest scale, but any one of them is capable of transforming pauper into person of wealth in the time it takes thoroughbred horses to scamper one mile and one-half.
