The rival thoroughbred kings OF
Britain and the United States, pre-

100000 at stake-these were the ele-
ments Of the great international race
at picturesque Belmont park, the
American Newmarket, In September,
1923.
The race at a mile and half through
mud fetlock deep was just a romp for
Harry F. Sinclair's renowned colt,
under Sande's skillful guidance. The
event. as colorfully and elaborately
staged as any In the history Of the
turf. was conceived by the late Maj.
August Belmont as the forerunner of
international racing on q consistently
big scale.
Following gallant little Papyrus
came the great French horse, Epin-
xrd. which furnished q succession Of
thrills in 1924 in races with such
American stars as Wise Counsellor
and Ladkin. Interest reached a high
pitch in these turf classics but the
death Of Major Belmont, long a DOM
inant power in American racing,
checked the ambitious features OF his
program.
It was the majors plan to bring to-
gether annually the leading thor
oughbreds Of Europe and America,
alternately in this country and
abroad. He blazed the trail but the
idea has languished. although this
year there is something Of q revival

Busy little DOME Bush has earned
himself the title of the personal

camp here says, "he covers forty
acres Of ground every day while whip

Every player on the team. from

his eye. He finds time for each one
whether it be q little chat with an
old timer or tip to a youngster on
how to toe up to the plate.
The Pirate leader is strict dis
ciplinarian and follows somewhat
along the lines Of baseball for base
ball players"
His system is regarded as stern but

FANS RUSH INTO FIGHT RING

Chicago, March o. P) 49, Jackie
Yields. Chicago Hebrew lad who
learned his boxing in California rings,
today holds a synthetic claim, at
least, to the worlds welterweight box
ing championship. He acquired 1t by
dccisively defeating Young Jack
Thompson. San Francisco negro chal-
lengcr. in their lO-round battle in the
historic old Coliseum last night-a
thrilling fight that came perilously
near ending in a panic in the eighth
round.
Another Battle Started
A crowd Of more than 5000 per-
sons. drawn to the battle by the in
tense rivalry between the pair and
excited beyond the ordinary thrill ty
what was one of the best welter-
weight fights in ring history, was
thrown into q panic in the eighth
round when two spectators, one draw
ing a knife and tho other a gun TO
settle their private fight in one cor
ner Of the arena. precipitated terri
flying scene Of disorder, resulting In
the injury of many spectators, some
perhaps suffering fatal injuries.
Fields was like the rush Of the
panic-stricken spectators in his fight
with the California negro. He was
unstoprable in his offensive, un-
Swerving in his determination, and
completely the master of his foe with
possibly the exception Of the seventh
round. He left no room for doubt as
to hts superiority over Thompson,
winning eight Of the ten rounds.
Thompson was proceeding smoothly
in the eighth when the panic among
the spectators caused the fight to be
stopped temporarily, because the ring
was full of panic stricken spectators,
all seeking safety In the war zone Of
the arena.
Still Kept Fighting
Despite all the commotion and hub
bub and ring full Of spectators,
Thompson and Fields continued to
take punches at each other until there
was no more room for them to step
around. Eddie Purdy. the referee, fl
nally gathered them in his arms
forcing them to quit fighting until or
der was restored.
Thompson, the negro, was vividly
affected by the sudden and unexpect-
ed rush Of spectators into the ring
He did not know what had happened
and was still a bit bewildered, partly
because OF the panic and partly be-
cause Of Fields heavy fire. when he
came out to fight the remaining min
ute Of the interrupted eighth round.
BY the time the tenth rolled around
Thompson had regained his poise. ap-
parently, and did enough fighting to
at least even the honors of the round.

Seven years Of dismal failure with

Gowdy are practical baseball men,

there Is no dearth OF experts In our

MY responsibility Is to have the

IL Mental Game
Il have always thought that base

and we are fortunate in having some
highly intelligent players In our
camp. It Is too early to become overly
sanguine as to the prospects Of our
recruits, for I realize that the per-
centage Of youngsters making good Is
very low. I am optimistic enough to
think that We may be fortunate
enough to score . bit above the aver.
age with ours.
1T would be foolish to make claims
Tor the untried team, and none
are ventured: but certainly We are
hopeful.
