BULLDOGS LOSE
TO WHITE SOX,
BEATS SOLDIERS

Thursday afternoon, the high school
Bulldogs went through a seven inning
game with the fast White Sox. De-
spite a bad first inning the Bulldogs
held the Sox ScoreleSs for the rest of
the route Errors accounted for two
of the markers made by the White
Sox, while two were earned.
Hughes on the mound on the Bull
dogs showed excellent form, sitting
them on the corners and mixing them
up to BATTLE the opposition. Critchley,
peppy receiver for-the high school ag-
gregation, kept them working all the
way Miller and Branham looked good
in the out garden while the infield
boys acquitted themselves in a credit
able manner
Friday afternoon the Bulldogs worked
out in a practice game with the crack
company team. Cary took the mound
and went the seven inning route
against the soldiers, allowing but three
hits. Cary was working what
proved to be mid-seaSon form, holding
the company team practically helpless
Haymore, newly developed shortstop
for the school team, cavorted all over
his field, while Jacks at second base
made some able assists

JAPANESE STAR
ENTERS FINALS
IN TOURNAMENT

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 80 (H9-Ta-
mio Abe, Japanese national champion,
won his way into the finals of the
south Atlantic tennis tournament today
by defeating Johnny Doeg, Stanford
university star and ranking American
player, in hotly contested match,
6-3, 1913, 1-6, 4-6, GA.
Abe overwhelmed his adversary by
superiority of stamina, combined with
deadly baseline attack that netted
him the final and deciding set after
Doeg had staged a driving comeback
to event the match by winning the
third and fourth frames
The Californian seemed to become
more effective as he warmed up, CIV
ing the Japanese little opposition in
the first set, but extending him to 10
games in the second Them with the
match standing at two sets against
him, Doeg came back with a whirl-
wind attack that gave him the next,
in which Abe won only one game, and
the fourth in almost as handy fashion.
He seemed to be tiring fast, how
ever, in the fifth set and was unable
to muster an adequate defense against
Abe's onslaught.
BY his victory Abe will meet the
winner of match between George
Lott, Chicago star, and Frank Shields,
New York national junior champion,
for the championship tomorrow This
contest was postponed today until to-
morrow morning.

AMERICAN HORSE

| No American-bred horse ever has

historic grind of four and half miles
over the most treacherous of racing
terrain. To Tipperary Tim, an un-
known 100 to shot and rank out
slider, went the honor today of victory
as we'll as of standing off the most
strenuous American threat the British
classic has known in its SO years of
running.
With only 4 part of a lap left to
| the most remarkable grand national
ever staged and only one other of the
/ AZ starters left in the final hurdle in
the shadow of the grandstand The
pride of Howard Bruce, Baltimore
sportsman, had wide lead over Tip
perary Tim, struggling along far in
his wake
But where the slippery footing of
the entire course, the historic difficult
les Of Beechers brook and Valentine
brook had not bothered the American
horse, the very last obstacle, just an
ordinary jump, took its toll. Billy
Bartons hind feet slipped in muddy

strewn all over the course.

Lomski shifted surprise left hook

TROJAN STARS
EXPECT WORST
FROM STANFORD

LOS ANGELES, March 80 (P-The
Trojan track and field warriors of
Southern California, doomed, in the
opinion of dopeSterS, to be trampled
under an overwhelming score by Stan
ford's powerful squad, tonight was re-
ported asvbeing radically re-arranged
in an effort to perfect a combination
to halt the Cardinal invaders tomor-
row.
While the Stanford men worked out
on the Coliseum turf for brief spell
shortly after arrival from the north,
confident of victory and in the best
physical condition, Coach Dean Crom-
we'll, grizzled Trojan leader was said
to be making drastic shifts in the
ranks of his performers so as to grab
the most possible points.
That Jimmy Payne, speedy sopho-
more hurdler, whom Southern Cali
fornia relies upon to take ten points
in the two barrier races, also may
run the 100-yard dash, and that Cliff
Reynolds, another stick artist, and a
high and broad jumper, may be used
although he is not in the best of shape,
we're two of the emergency measures
rumored as having been made.
The biggest obstacle Cromwell faced
was the virtual necessity of spotting
the invaders 27 points in the shot,
discus and javelin. The Trojan coach
lost every single man of ability in
these events, leaving "Dink" Temple
tons field men just about a clear field.
The best Trojan events appears IN
the sprints, half-mile and the low
hurdles. Charlie Borah and Weldon
Draper get the first two places in the
dashes, over Lauritzen of Stanford, the
dopesters say. Gloege and Adams look
good to finish in any two of the three
places in the half mile, with Alex
McKinnon, Templeton'S ace, the other
finisher in the points.
A newly developed 440-yard man
who has chalked up some remarkable
times this season may show the way
to StanfordS star quarter miller, Bud"
Spencer, those who have seen him in
action opine Johnny Morrison, the
speedster in question, is expected to
beat the two other Trojan hopes in
the 44O, Sauers and Maxwell, to the
tape.
Form shown by Lee Barnes, vault
ing Trojan captain, in a meet two
weeks ago, has caused track followers
to believe that the sturdy youth has
reached the peak at which he will
either break Sabin Cars worlds
record of IA feet one inch tomorrow, or
fail to do SO this season.

WHAT WILL HE DO?

Tommy LuCher, II year Ola pOy

of $13,500 for riding Crystal Pennant
to first money in the 100000 Coffroth

Instances of wealthy stable owners

rare that they are interesting news,

to hear what boy who had been

HILL BOUGHT A BOND!
Which reminds me of a story told
about Frank Churchill and Johnny
Hill, one of his fighters. Churchill
is a widely known importer of Filipino
fighters and the majority OF those
little fellows haven't any idea OF
the value OF money. Churchill used
to collect their money and have them
draw on him and he tried to impress
upon them the necessity OF saving
money and the safety OF buying
conservative bonds.
One day Hill asked him for $500
and told him he wanted to buy a
bond. Churchill was pleased and
gave him the name OF banker
friend through whom he could make
the purchase.
Hill returned and when Churchill
asked him for the bond he handed
him a small ticket. Its in the fourth

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 80
P)-If only the fifth inning had been

The Giants batted around twice as

Chicago Cubs made it two straight

frames
Pat Malone who hurled the entire
