Milk Cart Horse
Wins Show Ribbon

RYE, N. T., June 1i-Popover. a
horse, scored one of tho biggest turn
overs that has been seen at a horse
show since Brian g. Hughes tri-
umphed with Puldeka Orphan many
years ago. Owned by John McEntce
Bowman, Popover won second prize
in a record breaking class at the
Westchester county horse show at
Rye. A little more than year ago
Popover was a nameless nag between
the shafts of a milk wagon. He was
bought, groomed and polished and
topped fences with the best of the
equine aristocracy. The exploit Of
Brian G. Hughes involved con-
demned nag that had drawn a horse
car. Hughes entered him at the
Madison Square Garden horse show.
Bowman knows the history of his
horse and expects him to develop
into great jumper.

Thief
WINS GAVE

When youngster named Bridges
muffed a fly ball and permitted
two runs to score. it looked as
though he might have lost the day
for the Ketcham School in the
playground championship series.
But heI more than redeemed
himself for that error. He made
several sensational catches later
and in the ninth inning stole
home for the run that beat
Gales-Arthur, 3 to 2.
s The victory gave Ketcham the
title in the Eastern section and
the right to meet Monroe, winner
OF the Western section, in the
finals for the city title for which
more than 60 teams have competed.
Monroe and Ketcham will play
a three-game series starting next
Monday.

Maybe that's true, in part. But
try and tell it to some experienced
bah player and see what he says.
The great trouble in playing on
the road is that you're doing
lot Of travelling and You don't get
the same amount of rest as at
home. There's a change of
water every three or four days,
and constant diet of hotel food
which is never the same as
home-cooISed stuff. All these
things affect a teams play. I've
been in baseball quite while,
and ] know that a team never
feels as well on the road as at
home. And then, on the road
you're playing before a lot Of
enemy fans, tOO-and that affects
your play.
The team I'm watching closest
right now is the White Sox. A lot
Of fans figure they're playing over
their heads. Maybe they are. But
when a team starts winning ball
games right from the opening of the
season and continues to win them
through six or seven weeks of play,
you can bet they've got something
besides luck.
didn't figure the Sox as real con-
tenders at the start of the season.
And don't think now that they are
going to beat us. But / hand it to
'em-they're dangerous. And will
be dangerous so long as they con-
tinue to get good pitching. Some
fan who happened down on our
bench a few days ago was talking
about the race and remarked that
the White Sox were getting the
breaks.
Bob Meusel took him up right
away. Maybe they're getting the
breaks" Bob said, ''but if they are
they're out there making EN-"
Which is another way Of say
ing that Ray SchaIk has hus-

hustIes will get plenty of breaks,
and q club that don't hustle

played with both sorts of clubs.
I've got bunch the Athletics are
about through. Their pitching has
been bad and the rest Of the club
has slumped along with the pitch
ers. When we opened the season
against them, Connie had fighting,
hustling, up and coming club. We
beat 'em but we had to work, for
everything we got. Last week, when
we played them five games they
didn't look like the same outfit.
All their hustle was gone and they
were just going through the motions.
OF course the season is young yet.
And If Comics pitchers should start
in working right it's safe bet that
the rest OF the club would speed up,
too. There's nothing ruins club
morale quicker than bad pitching.
But If the change don't come soon,
Connie can begin planning for next
season. He won't get anywhere this
year.
