IN ALTIMORE, May 8.-Despite the
X expectation that Desert Light Of
the Fair Stable will be kept from
the post tomorrow for the
fortieth running of the $4,000 Freak
ness at Pimlico, the probable starting
list was swelled by two today with the
announcement that the Howe Stables
Gold Brook and Tetrarchal would be
shipped from New York for the rich
event.
The notification of Matt Dagger, sec
rotary of the Maryland Jockey Club, by
the Howe Stable brought the probable
starting list to IL, one more than faced
the barrier last May.
= Gallant Fox, the Belair Studs prob
able starter, still holds the favored po-
sition of all the entrants and will have
the added backing Of being ridden by
Earle Sande, who win ride the winner
of the Wood Memorial at Jamaica In
both the Preakness and Kentucky
Derby. Gallant Fox holds O victory
over some Of the probable starters,
gained in the Wood, and will probably
go to the post as the favorite to take
the stake.
The other horses regarded as sure
starters are the Audley Farms Wood
craft, who also holds victories over
some of the probable starters; T. M.
Cassidy's Crack Brigade, Glen Riddle
Farms Full Dress, Walter M. Jefford's
Armageddon, John L. Pontius' Michigan
Boy, Walter j. Salmon's Swinfield and
Snow Flake and the Seagram Stables
Sweet Sentiment and Sun Craig.
Snow Flake is the only filly in that
list of probable starters and she win try
to do something which but two fillies
have ever done-win the Preakness.
Gallant Fox, though said by his han
dlers to be visibly loafing, as has been
his practice when not pressed, did a
mile and an eighth yesterday In 1864
to compare with the Preakness record
over the mile and three-sixteenths
course of 1:59+s. Sweet Sentiment did
the mile and an eighth in 1898.

ANCIENT" PITCHER
GETS LOTS OF AID
Five-Run Rally by Yankees
Enables Him to Gain 81
Decision Over Tribe.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ONATHAN THOMPSON ZACH
AIRY Of the New York Yankees
~ is not the Oldest pitcher in the
American League, in spite Of his
nickname, "Old Tom," nor is he by
any means the youngest. Tom became
80 years old yesterday, and he cele-
brated his birthday in harness showing
the youngsters few things.
Last year Zachary led the American
League pitchers by winning IL games
without defeat. He also had the best
earned-run rating, giving but 80 to 100
innings. Up to yesterday Tom had not
done so well during the chilly Spring
days, but with the advent of Summer
weather he scored his first victory, beat
ing the Cleveland Indians, 8 to z.
Zachary received some aid from an
other Yankee anceint, Babe Ruth, and
from Roy Sherid, who is more than 10
years younger Ruth contributed largely
to the flve-run rally which decided the
game by hitting his fourth home run of
the season with two on base. Sherid
came to Zachary's rescue when he weak
ened in the late innings.
Except in three National League
games yesterday, the pitchers had the
better of the major league batters Ben
ME Frey Of Cincinnati and George
Earnshaw of the Philadelphia Athletics
turned in the best performances, each
allowing only three hits. Frey won his
game, but Earnshaw lost.
Two of the three hits of Earnshaw
were made by the opposing pitcher,
Walter Stewart of the st. Louis Browns,
who pitched six-hit game. The third
was homer by Sammy Hale with one

a 2-to-1 decision. Frey won his third
straight game a:.d his second 1-to-0
contest by stopping the Boston Braves.
Cincinnati did not come through against
Ben Cantwell until the ninth inning,
when pair of doubles brought the
games only run.
The st. Louis Cardinals were In the
front rank of the heavy hitters yester-
day, as they hammered five Philadel-
phia pitchers for a 16-to-11 victory.
The game produced 35 hits, 10 Of them
for extra bases, and home runs. The
Cards had just one-hit margin, but
they punched their clouts for nine runs
in the fifth inning.
Not far behind came the Pittsburgh
Pirates and New York Giants, dividing
81 hits in Pittsburgh's 16-to-8 victory.
The Giants got Is Of the blows, but
Pittsburgh greeted the debut Of Roy
Parmelee as starting pitcher with
six-run burst and never were over.
taken.
The Chicago Cubs continued the as
saults on Brooklyn pitching by hitting
steadily and at the proper moments to
gain a 9-to-5 victory, after Brooklyn
had opened the game with home-run
drive that brought four tallies in the
first inning. Glenn Wright and Del
Bissonette hit successive homers in this
frame and Bissonette added second
in the sixth inning. Charley Root
hurled the whole game for the Cubs,
although he allowed IL hits.

Rooter for Repair Shop Team
Makes Enough Noise for CROWD

He spoke-or rather yelled-a broken
English, and every time a Commerce
batter failed to connect with one of
Lefty Guethler's curves he would yell,
II top you he'd miss dot one, Bobbie,
toll you"
Anyhow he had something to yell
about, for the Repair Shop nine in
creased its lead In the league two full
games. Bob Guethler, though perhaps
better known as a bowler, showed that
he can throw strikes on the ball field
as well as down the alleys and that he
can hit base ball as well as he can
sock the pins. AL Bob did was to fan
nine batters and hit a home run.
Earl Moser Is managing the Com
merce team and II every player on his
team did his part as well as Earl did,
it might have been q different story.
Earl didn't start in the game, but he
batted for Kritt in the sixth inning
and singled across a run. In addition
to playing with Commerce, Moser is
again plotting the Bond Clothiers.
II Interstate can keep up its present
pace. 1t will be plenty troublesome to
the Union Printers, defending champs.
Interstate has q trio Of good pitchers in
Lusby, Mcdonald and Hair and Is
capable Of playing smart base ball.
1t was bad day for Interstate's first
sackers. Reese Hair, who started on
first, made three errors and was switched
to right field. Then Mudd, the catcher
who was playing right field, went to
flrst base and on the first chance he
had, he made an error.
Headlining the card today will be the
Pullman-Washington Terminal game at
the Union Station field. Both teams are
tied for the league leadership, with one
victory in as many starts. The game
will start at 5 o'clock.
