bH iWcS SpeCiQL
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 21.-Fourth
battle Of the Millers today and the
Indians were out in front by a game
and a half. The Betzelites simply
fooled the home talent Monday and
produced victory that was deci-
sive, 8 to 2. 1t was a triumph for
Manager Bethel and an achievement
by Emil Yde that probably will rate
as one of the notable features of
the 1928 A. A campaign.
Knocked out in the third inning
Sunday, Yde was sent back at the
Kels in the third Of the series and
delivered in big league style. He
held the locals to seven hits, famed
four men and walked only one. On
top Of that he entered into the
Tribe attack with two singles and
a double and drove in one run and
carried across two.
Miller scribes. Miller players and
Miller fans thought Steve Swetonic
would get the mound call Monday,
but Manager Bethel and his Indians
held a morning pow-wow and de-

There was a horse race down here
Saturday on which more than $780,
600 changed hands. Reign Count,
best in the West, and Victorian, best
in the East, we're the top choices to
win the Travers Stake for 3-year-
Odds AS the world now knows Reign
Count didn't VIM nor did Victorian
The-race went to an outsider, Petee-
Wrack. Before the race started you
could have gotten eight for your
one that Petee- Wrack wouldn't win.

body figured he had enough horse
in him to win from the two stars.
II was slightly reminiscent of the
first fight between MIR. Tunney and
Mr., Dempsey when the odds were
3-to-1 in favor Of the champion.
And if that wasn't attractive
enough you could have 5-to-1.
n II
NTERY few people liked Mr.. Tun-
Y ney even at the highest odds,
because very few people thought
there was enough fighter in him to
win from the old nan ~,ouler. The
aftermath of that fight was not at
all like the aftermath of the race
here Saturday.
If there was one fight fan who be-
lieved Mr. Tunney had won on his
merits there we're fifty fight fans
who were convinced there 49, come
thing phoney about the way Mr..
Dempsey lost. It took another fight
between the two, and another years
time, to destroy this suspicion.
When Petee Wrack came on to
win from Victorian in stretch drive
by length, thus furnishing one of
the standout upsets of the turf,
there were no squawlz3 and certainly
no widespread dis ~+tion to i'm
pugne the legitimacy of the triumph.
Some Of the boys said that Fator
made mistake by carrying his
mount wide at the last turn since
this gave O'Donneu a chance to
come up alongside the rail.
But this criticism was not
vicious, and it did nothing to
minimize the fact Petee Wrack
had run a fine, game race, and
had won '~om two Of the best g.
year-olds in the land.
II
THERE were plenty of cheers for F..
Il the son of Wrack after it was
all over, and when you can get even
a faint cheer out of a crowd that
has just dropped 100000 on a race
you have been in close touch with
an interesting and refreshing
phenomenon.
AS for the race itself your CORE
spondent found it surprisingly de-
flcient in the element of thrills
This was probably due to the fact
that the main appeal of the race-a
head-to-head racing duel between
Reign Count and Victorian never
developed. The western horse was
behind from the start, and there
was never a second during the run
ming OF the race when he gave the
slightest threat Of moving up among
the leaders.
Petee Wrack was the surprise eIe-
ment, but instead of thrilling the
thousands that packed the course.
the sight of him moving up along
the rail to stick his head out in
front of Victorian had a chilling
effect.
What everybody wanted to know
was whether Reign Count, winner
Of the Derby, was better than Vic
tOrian; winner of the Preakness
1t was something Of shock when
the outsider came along and
showed, that for the moment at
least, he was better than either of
them.

WITH TRIBE AT MINNEAPOLIS

BU Times Special
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 21.-Emil
Yde was in rare form Monday to
turn the Kels back with only seven
hits, four of them coming in the
eighth frame. He was far from the
pitcher who Sunday was driven from
the mound in less than three in
nings.
Warstler made a nice play TO
retire Harris in the first inning.
Harris hit to Burrus and when
the first-sacker threw too late to
force Hayes at second, Warstler
whipped the ball right back in
time to get the feet-fOoted Mil
Ter at first.
Warstler and Burrus figured in
the first seven Miller outs, the
Warstler-Burrus combine being
broken up in the third. After the
little shortstop had winged Lisen-
bee, Voter whitfield.
In nearly all the plays rabbit"
came up with some fine stops and
great throws, particularly on Lisen-
bee in the third, whom he robbed
OF a hit by racing back of second
and then making a corking throw
to get the Kel pitcher.
Connolly was credited with A
lucky two-base hit in the third
when Emmer slipped on the wet
grass and fell, the ball falling
safely for the double.
A double play pulled Lisenbee out
OF trouble in the third, for, after
Matthews had hit into a double
killing, Connolly got his two-bagger.
Russell's homer in the seventh
was a terrific drive over the right
field wall, it clearing the avenue
on the fly and landing on a build
ing on the opposite side of the
street.
In their big scoring round the
Indians more than batted around.
Reb Russell got two hits in the
same inning.
After five runs had been scored
and the bases were still jammed,
Generously swung and missed the
third strike, to end the rally.
