DENIES
FOX XDRUGGED

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 10
Reports that Gallant Fox had
been poisoned in Chicago and
that he was still ill from the ef-
fects of the poison when he lost
the Travers aere Saturday were
denied today by William Wood
ward, New York banker. who
owns the speedy race horse. He
denied he had ever intimated the
Fox had been tampered with at
Chicago, and said he knew Of no
investigation being made Of such
charges, as was reported.
The banker said that at the
Arlington Park where Gallant
Fox was stalled on his Western
visit the jockey club protected
the horse at all times and an
attempt to poison him would have
been frustrated at the outset.
Woodward said he spoke not only
for himself but also his trainer,
James FitZSimmonS.
The owner explained the poor
time made by Gallant Fox and
his beating by a 100-to-1 shot
Saturday. by the muddy track
and other untoward conditions,
but said the horse was in the
best Of shape physically.

1TODAYS
oPORTORlAL
Bu KIRK MILLER~

"Who is this Jim Dandy?" is
a remark that has been heard
around the racing world in the
last Y hours, or since he
dashed home ahead of Gallant
Fox and Whichone in the Trav-
ers Stakes at Saratoga last Sat
urday.
Thousands of racing fans had
never heard of the mudder be-
fore his sensational defeat of
the outstanding 3-year-old of
the year, the decade or the
century. depending on how far
back your horse-racing records
go.
It seems that Jim Dandy Is
a natural mudder, is quite at
home in the slop, as it were,
and takes to the heavy going
by instinct because his father,
Jim Gaffney was a mudder
ahead of him, in fact one of the
best of his generation.
Jim Dandy is a 3-year-old
chestnut colt by Jim Gaffney out
of Thunderbird, by Star Shoot,
second dam Grace G., by i'm
ported Albert. Col. w. S. Dud-
ley of Kentucky bred him.
He is half brother to Vimont
and Ormonbird, frequent win
ners. John Mckee, who picked
NaiShapur for the young Cali
fornia sportsman, Chaffee Earl,
and won Tiajuana Derby with
him last year, saw Jim Dandy
training at Churchill Downs in
the spring of 1929, advised Earl
to buy him. Earl put up the
$500 and took the colt.
At Saratoga last August, Jim
Dandy, at odds ranging from
80 to l to so to l, won the
Grand Union Hotel Stakes on
a heavy track, beating Moka-
tam, Caruso and other top
notchers. Afterwards he was
beaten by Aqua Caliente sell
ing platers. He had only raced
once since Aqua CallenGeS meet
ing before winning the Travers
at the longest odds of recent
years in New York.
Some of the wellwishers Of
the Washington club are figur-
ing this way: When the Wash
ington club went West last
month it was a game and
a half in the van of the Amer
ican League race.
When they returned they
were six games in the rear,
showing it is possible for a
team to drop seven and one
half games in four weeks of
play. With the season yet
five weeks and a little better
to go, why. then, isn't it pos
sible that the Mackmen can
drop eight and one-half games
between now and September
80 when the season closest

Foxx, Cochrane. "Bing" Miller,
Jimmy Dykes, Walberg and a
few others not necessary to
tabulate here.
My friend, Marvin Pope,
down at the Engineer Commits
Sicner'S office, bemoans the
inability of certain star play
ers who happen to be with
second-rate teams to get into q
world series. His suggestion is
to have a picked team of the
best individuals in the league
play the series. and he couches
his thought in the following
words:
''It seems to me particlpa-
tiOn in a worlds series should
be an individual goal, rather
than a team goal, with the
championship going to the
league, as a whole, rather than
the club finishing first at the
seasons end. And why not?
LET the personnel Of each
leagues flag entry be deter
mined on general averages Of
the individual players in the
various positions and create
an average for team work.
along with the others, SO that
no player would be tempted
to neglect his team while Striv-
ing for his goal. Thus, a world
series entry would be COM
posed of the best the league
afforded, in all departments
of the game. and say, wouldn't
the old series be worth travel
ing miles to see.
"Think what it would mean
to the box offices of clubs that
are now striving to death if,
despite low club standings,
they could trOt out one or
more players who were in the
thick of the fight for a place
on the series team. And think
what it would mean to the
morale of such teams, which
would unqueStiOnably give all
they had right down to the
finish line, as a matter of
pride in their own particular
stars.
GAS the years go by, King
Baseball is meeting stiffer and
Stiffer competition from other
sports which strive for his
crown. In combating it, many
departures have been made in
the game during the past
decade. Yet, the world series
has gone along in the same
old rut and, as a result, the
appellatiOn Annual Classic
has all too often proven
q huge joke, with poorly
matched teams turning out a
brand 0f baseball which. at
times. has smacked Of sand
los' stuff"

SAIL CUP TESTS
CONTINUE

NEWPORT, r. L., Aug. 19.-
The battle of the billions will
begin again tomorrow with the
house of Morgan crashing against
the house of Vanderbilt.
Weetamoe, the boat that is
backed by all the Morgan mil
lions, is here and she looks like
all the Morgan millions. She is
the miniature ship of this defense
fleet but she has proved to be
the most diversified of the quar-
tet. She is flat in all points of
sailing. But she has the job on
her hands Of subduing Harold S.
Vanderbilt's Enterprise. Whether
she can do that or not is some
thing that will be decided here
within the next 10 days.
Looming in the Offing are
Yankee and Whiylwind, the
latter the enigma of the de-
fense combination. Yankee,
perhaps with Charles Francis
Adams, Secretary of the
Navy, at her wheel, may
turn in some astonishing
surprises.
Yankee was designed by L.
Francis Herreshoff, and if Nichol-
son. designer of Shamrock, had
used the same board that Her
reshoff did the boats could not
be more alike. Yankees bow and
Shamrock'S bow are almost iden-
tical.
1t is only in the stern that
you see a difference in the two
ships. Shamrock has Whirlwind's
stern but not her beam. And
this matter of beam may prove
to be the deciding factor in this
battle.
Shamrock is a long slim green
thing that looks like speed. She
is the slimmest of all the boats
involved in this battle. Compared
with Harold Vanderbilt's Enter
prise. for instance, she will look
small. trivial, and maybe insignifi-
cant. But Weetamoe looks that
way too.
The one really Seaworthy
ship Of the four potential de-
tenders Is WhirlWind. With
her StanCh mahogany hull
she would weather almost
anything but today she is a
100 to / shot.
In the books on the Long
Wharf the Yankee is being quoted
at so to l. Between Weetamoe
and Enterprise its an even money
proposition and take your choice.
1t is the plan of the observa-
tion committee to hold ten races
off this port beginning tomorrow.
In the course of the week two
Of the four potential defenders
will be eliminated. The last five
races will see the defender
elected.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug.
19.-"Beat Betty Nuthall" Is the
cry which invertebrates through
the Forest Hills Stadium today as
the 80 survivors in the forty
third annual national women's
tennis championships resume
play in the second round. Fors
seven long years, the cry was
beat Helen Wills" but with lit
tie real hope in it.
There is ring Of hope, how
ever, in this new rallying call.
For at least a half a dozen of the
stars who survived their first
round tests it is cheer, urging
them onward to further conquests.
While on the way to their meet
ings with Bouncing Betty" they
sharpen their weapons for their
attacks on the English star.
Betty looked good yesterday
trouncing Mcfarland, Of Pasa-
dena, 60, 6-1, in the first
round. She hit harder, her SER
vice was more severe, her back
hand was greatly improved over
her performances here in 1927
and 1929.
But she is no Helen Wills.
Queen Helen would probably
have SmOthered Miss McFar-
lane with the loss Of perhaps
half a dozen points in each
set.
This afternoon Betty meets a
rival who may well force her to
drop more than one game before
she finally comes through the
victor. In Mrs. Agnes Lamme,
jr., of the Apawamis Club, the
English star opposes a veteran
of the courts. Her match with
Mrs. Lamn1e may prove valuable
practice for Miss Nuthall If the
Baroness Giocomo Giorgio Lev.
of Rome, last weeks reigning
sensation at Rye, succeeds in
reaching the semifinals along with
/ Betty.
The baroness, who makes her
Forest Hills debut today against
Florence LIE Boutillier. is chop
stroker of rare skill, even trickier
than the ApaWamiS veteran. II
she gets by Josephine Cruick-
shank, Eleanor GoSs and Mary
Greet, the stars who beset her
path toward the penultimate
round, the Italian noblewoman
may prove a really formidable
foe for the British girl.
Vieing in interest with the
NuthaII-Lamme match in the
second round is the second
meeting within a week Of
Alice Francis, Orange star,
and Edith Cross, of San Fran
cisco, third ranking player Of
| the country and a member Of
the last Weightman Cup
team.
Alice beat Edith at Rye last
week, and she is favored to con-
quer the coast ace once again.
Another fine match brings to-
gether Dorothy Weisel, Cali.
fornia's latest phenom and con-
queror yesterday Of Norma
Taubele, and Virginia Hilleary,
the Philadelphia star who had
surprisingly little difficulty get
ting by her first-round match with
Grace Surber.
Virginia was fortunate meeting
Grace when the Jackson Heights
star had an off day. Miss Weisel
will probably prove tougher opposi-
ton. and the chances are even
that the California girl, unranked
and unSeeded though she is, will
come out the victor.
