CLYDE VAN DUSEN
BIG RACE CHOICE
Picked to Capture American
Derby-SeveraI Others
Highly Favored.

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, June 15.-Turf glory
and $4,000 in added money
beckoned Is Of the country's
~ crack 3-year-olds today in the
twenty-firSt running Of the
American Derby at Washington Park.
Seventy-five thousand lovers of the sport
were expected to witness the struggle.
The stake, once the outstanding race
event Of the country, lacked only Blue
LarkSpur, Edward r. Bradley's winner
of the Belmont Stakes, of the outstand-
ing 3-year-olds Of the season.
Clyde Van Dusen, sturdy little son of
Man o. War, winner of the Kentucky
Derby, was favored to take the Chicago
classic largely because Of heavy track,
similar in condition to the one on which
he emerged victor in the bluegrass fea-
ture q month ago. However, Naishapur,
which finished second to Clyde Van
Dusen In the Kentucky Derby and won
the Tia Juana Derby; Karl Eitel. win
ner Of the Paramount Derby in muddy
going; Windy City and DR.. Freeland
winner OF the Preakness, were highly
favored.
r. r. wilson's African, DR.. Freeland
and Edward B. McLeans Silverdale
were to carry the hope Of the East
against the Vests best. DR.. Freeland
won a good reputation as a mud run
ner when 2-year-old.
In the draw for post positions DR..
Freeland was most fortunate Of the IA
vored entrants, drawing No. 8. Karl
Eitel was No. 7, Naishapur No. 8, with
Clyde Van Dusen No. IL.
Clyde Van Dusen, DR.. Freeland, Mai
shapur and Karl Eitel were to carry top
weight of 1875 pounds, while Dali, an
Eastern entry Of w. r. Coe, still a
maiden, was listed at ia pounds.
In the saddle in which L. McAtee
brought Clyde Van Dusen home victor
at Churchill Downs, Willie Garner was
to ride, with L. Shaefer riding DR.. Free
land, c. e. Allen on Naishapur, r. Leon
ard on African and L. McDermott on
Windy City.

FTER two days of vain battling
~ against rain squalls, the Car
IA dinals settled themselves yeSter-
day to the more pleasant task
of beating the Braves. The Red
Birds celebrated the delayed opening
of the Boston series by shading Judge
Fuchs tribe, to 8, and so regained
first place by the precarious margin OF
half q game, or two percentage points.
The Giants paved the way for this
Cardinal advance by turning back the
Pirates, z to 2, after taking two Buc-
cancer pokes on the chin In the two
preceding afternoons.
With the Bostonese imprisoned In
Sportsman's Park for three games in
the next two days, Billy Southworth en-
tertains high hopes Of consolidating the
advanced position of the Cardinals. but
he may have to fight hard for any ad-
Harry Seibold, the Braves gave the
league champions a severe argument
yesterday. The visitors went so lar as
to propel Wee Willie Sherdel from the
box in a most undignified manner In
the seventh while scoring three times
to come within one Of tie.
johnson Saves Sherdel.
Sylvester johnson saved the day for
Sherdel, who got credit for the victory.
Jim Bottomley helped tremendously
with his eleventh home run.
The Pirates can't win them all, and
this becomes particularly evident when
q pitcher like Larry Benton achieves his
highest form. Benton gave the hard
swinging Buccaneers just seven hits,
and seldom was in any danger after
the Giants knocked Jess Petty from the
box in the first inning. It was Petty'S
second Knockout in two days.

TOday's Golf Roundup.
ttY STILL believe" remarked an
old-time golf professional, that
the best advice or tip you can
give an average golfer Is to
make him get used to the idea OF hit
ting with the head Of the club. He
must have q mental picture Of the
cIubhead doing its part. Too many
golfers think too much about the work
of the hands and wrists, without tying
them up with clubhead motion. The
hands and wrists do big part OF the
work, but they must be directly con-
nected with the action Of the club
head They are there to speed up the
clubhead. Too often they are used
without any relation to clubhead speed
One common mistake Is to have the
through too quickly. This won't hap
pen if one gives more thought to simply
hitting with the head of the club. For
in that case the hands and wrists are
much more likely to work as they
ought to work Get the feel of the
clubhead just as you would get the
feel of a hammer in driving a nail.
The greater speed must come rom
the outside Of the circle, not from the
inner part" There Is more than a
trifie to this suggestion. 1t is some
thing for the average golfer TO think
shout and to work out whenever he
has the chance

The other American League clubs
think 1t not an engineering, but Q legal
question. They are beginning to regard
the Mackmen as an organization in re-
straint of trade and believe the anti
trust laws might apply.
This Is Too Much.
It was well enough for Simmons to
hit his fourteenth home run on We'd
nesday-Simmons and Foxx are sup
posed to be sluggers-but when Dykes
and Haas kept hitting for the circuit,
it Is rather piling things up.
The remaining clubs still are expect
ing the Athletics to slump, but they
are beginning to fear that the awaited
backsliding will not start before October.
That would be little late.
Connie Macks players now have won
81 games and lost IL. II they keep up
that pace they will finish the season
with about lit games won and 81 lost.
That would be so glorious that it's
ridiculous.
There is still the same old curiosity
regarding whether Jack Dempsey ever
viii return to the ring. The former
champion will attend the Pauline
Schmeling affair and the manner In
which those two perform may have
something to do with his decision.
Dempsey has told me repeatedly that
he never viii night again. He had sew
eral talks with william F. Carey before
he left the East and Carey doeSn' t
think that he will fight.
On the other hand, there are many.
wise In caulidower lore, who insist that
the old ManaSsa Mauler will make one
last stand to regain his championship.
They do not expect him to regain 1t,
but they do believe that he viii make
lot Of money, and they think the dol
lars rather than the crown win attract
him.
lfight Demand Return.
These persons also point out that If
a foreign-born pugilist wins the cham
pionship, there Is likely to be the same
popular demand for Denpsey's return
that there was for the return Of Jim
Jeffries. Dempsey may have lost his
legs, but he hasn't lost his drawing
power He still would be the greatest
attraction in the fight game.
OF course, IL Dempsey could &aduca
the leading contender to box him ae
Tia Juana, that would be something
else again. Dempsey's close friends
control Tia Juana and it has been Tu-
mored that Jack has some sort Of an
interest there. Certainly, in that spot
he would get none the worst Of 1t. He
would be likely to be protected TO the
limit, Il portion Of the Mexican army
had to be called In.
II Jack thought that the survivor Of
these elimination contests was some
body he stood good chance Of licking,
and If the financial arrangements were
satisfactory, he might change his mind
about his retirement. He has been
known to change his mind before, al
though he was still firm the day he
left New York for Chicago. But Demp-

might gross him million-and that ID
