|RULE OF GALLANT
| FOX CHALLENGED
Whichone Aims to Dethrone
3-Year-0Id Champion In
Race Saturday.
BY oRLo ROBERTSON.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, August 12.-With<
M George D. Widener's James
" town enthroned as the juvenile
champion for the time being
at least, another title will be at stake,
Saturday, when Harry Payne Whitneys
Whichone seeks to GUST Gallant Fox
from the 3-year-old championship In
the sixty-first running of the Travers
at Saratoga.
Back to the racing wars after an
enforced vacation, the great son of
Chicle appears to be faster than at
any time in his sensational career. And
| that is covering a lot of ground, for
| the Whitney ace was the ranking
2-year-old of 1929. But those who
claim to know say he looks better,
| trains better and runs better.
If Whichone's performances in the
Saranac and Whitney stakes are any
criterion as to what he will do Satur-
| day, then Gallant Fox Is up against a
mighty tough proposition in his battle
| to go through the year undefeated.
| Supporters of the Fox may be slightly
worried by Whichones 1877 and 204
| in his two Saratoga victories the past
week, but not Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons.
Asked what he thinks about Satur-
days duel, the veteran trainer of the
Sir Galahad III offspring merely smiles
and gives his usual answer. II have
a mighty fit horse" and the big bay
colt is not giving his trainer any cause
to worry, If the work tab of the clock
ers count for anything.
Saturday will be the first time this
year Whichone has not gone to the
post an odds-on favorite. In the With
ers, Saranac and Whitney the son Of
Chicle faced the starter at prohibitive
odds and won. In the Belmont he was
kquoted at to 5. while Gallant Fox,
the winner was the second choice, at 8
to 5. The Travers, however, will be dill
ferent. tt : Fox will in all probability
rule the to choice, with Whichone
being offered at z or to 5.
Evidently believing plenty Of work Is
the best conditioner for his star, Tom
Healey, trainer for the Whitney Stables,
Is sending Whichone to the post three
times within a week in preparation for
his duel with Gallant Fox. He APP
peared twice last week and is slated to
go today in the Miller, with purse Of
$500 added. Six front rank 3-year-
olds have been named to oppose the
Whitneyite, but despite their pull IN
weight it will be an upset if any of the
sextet offers Whichone even stern oppo-
sition.
In contrast, Fitzsimmons Is combining
the Fox's workouts to morning trips
around the Spa oval. A victory Satur-
day for Gallant Fox would boost his
earnings above the 100000 mark and
within striking distance of the all
time money winning record of $313,636
held by Zev. Gallant Fox has now won
| in excess of $274,000.

lives.
the surprise upset Of many years-one
of the surprise upsetS of all sport. 1t
will happen some time-but hardly this
| Summer.
The next champion who must de-
! fend his title is Bill Tilden in the
national tennis championship at Forest
| Hills early Ill September. Tllden Will
have plenty of risks to face. By that
time he should be home acclimated and
ready to go--and he should also be the
| leading favorite-but he. will have no
easy time crowding off the Vines and
Woods and Shieldses and Lofts and

A few days later Leo Diegel has the
| toughest job of them all in defending
! his p. G.. A. championship at Fresh
Meadow against the inroads of some
81 other star pros. It will take lot
of golf every day to slip through this
pack.
Then Jimmy Johnston comes along
/ to defend his amateur golf crown at
Merton, where, as usual, the main job
will be blocking off Bobby Jones before
Ehe gets to the 36-hole tests. BY that
time it will be too late. Johnston is
another champion with heavy. odds to
face.
All in all, quite time will be had
in the next five or six weeks where
only one title holder is reasonably sure
to repeat.
THE next lightweight battle in sight

Berg and Singer. Just how this

decision He was outclassed-but he
with decisions of this sort making
the rounds, one guess is the same as
another The act of winning doesn't
mean anything. A boxer can actually
lose every round and still get the
verdict.
So when Berg and Singer meet the
same old story may take place--which
is to say that. the winner might be the
loser and the loser might easily be the
winner.
Any one who wishes to throw his
guess against that mystic tangle is en-
titled to take his chance. But If he
bets on his judgment he is conlical In
