1.-THE great combination OF
Sarazen and Sande was a
- winner Of the Fleeing
Handicap, the closing feature fea-
ture of the Empire meeting. Dis
patches state the crowd cheered
and shouted after the race and
Sande was obliged to doff his little
cap.
There isn't much doubt about
Earl being the king Of the jockeys.
Sarazen, however, has lost some
of his prestige this year The
gelding has become temperamental
and runs when he feels like it.
Apparently the thoroughbred de-
cided to step out on Thursday.
Before the race, however, Sara
zen caused some CONSERVATION by
fractions actions at the barrier
and tossed Sande over his head.
The horse made no attempt to run
away. In his own way Sarazen
probably wanted to show the as
sembled throng how independent
he was. Sarazen seems to feel
like that in his races. But he
won, so all is forgiven.

Fr1H HE two third-place teams
in the major leagues are
proving the sensation Of
the pennant races at present. Both
of them are middle-W West clubs,
Cincinnati in the National and the
White Sox in the American. They
are playing bang-up ball at full
speed ahead
In the last series Cincinnati
took four straight from Phila-
delphia. Chicago has taken three
out of four from Washington and
was to meet the club again to-
day,
Rabid supporters of the two
teams even see chances for the
pennant. This especially is true
at Cincy, where the fans don't
have great deal Of respect for
the Giants or Pittsburgh.
The Reds big three" Luque,
Rixey and Donohue, are going in
fine form on the mound. jake
May raised great hopes by his
shut-out victory against st. Louis
In his last start. Cincy was badly
crippled at one time. There is no
doubt but that the team is hit
ting on all six right now.
The White Sox continue to be
the surprise of the American
League and may continue to sur
prise right up to the end of the
season. Eddie Collins has In
spired his bunch to great efforts
and the pitchers are delivering
better than any one had dared
to hope.
Some one of those motorcycle
hill climbers on Sunday is going
to land right on his beezer up on
Beezer hill.
RI NUMBER of the local
al amateur boxers have been
Al turning professional lately.
They'll find out shortly what a
tough game it is. The money
does look easy for few minutes
work. but unless they feel assured
they are better than the average
it is a good game to pass up.
Many youth has made some
easy" money in the ring and
when he grew older wished it
hadn't been so easy. He might
have learned a trade or gone to
school or got started in some bust
ness.
The amateurs should think twice
and then think again before they
decide to stay in the ring as a
sole means Of livelihood. OF
course, if a youth has real ambi-
tions and real prospects he must
rake the ring his job. Otherwise
If he is good enough to pick UP
money in prelim bouts he should
have a steady job besides.
This sounds like a sermon. Guess
II IS. And it very probably will
get the attention usually paid
sermons. It's off our chest. any
