CHICAGO, July 18.-Unless all the
dope was wrong. all Twenty Grand had

old champion thoroughbred of the sea-
son and win $73,650 more for Mrs.
Payne Whitney in the third renewal OF
the Arlington classic.
While not as certain as death and
taxes, Twenty Grand was as much OF
a cinch as a horse could be- His
trainer. Jimmy Rowe, jr,, said the big
racer never was more fit and that the
prize money for the worlds richest
3-year-old event would be stacked up
on the same pile with the purses for
the Woods Memorial Stake, the Ken
lucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and
the Dwyer Stakes.
Twenty Grand was a prohibitive
overnight favorite and was bound to
remain the choice regardless of weather
conditions. With his stablemate, St.
Brideaux. the big horse was quoted at
to 5, with A c. Bostwick's Mate, the
only horse to conquer Twenty Grand
this year, the second choice at to l..
Spanish Play. the Vests hope for a
surprise victory, was quoted at to /,
and Joey Bibb was Is to l. The re-
manning two in the field, Sun Meadow
and Sir Ashley. were down at 20 and

Interest Attached to Appearance
of Former c. U. Boxer.

Despite the presence of two former
world champions. Pete Latzo and Paul
Berlenbach, eX-kings of welters and
light-heavies, respectively, more than
ordinary interest is being attached to
the Frank Fullam-Joe Finazzo bout,
which will headline the preliminaries
at the Midcity Boxing Clubs show at
the new Laurel arena next Wednesday.
1t will be Fullam's pro debut here,
and the ex-Catholic University boy and
the National A. A. U. middleweight
champion is sure to get a big hand
The five-round preliminary will bring
together a crack boxer and hard hitter
in Fullam and a two-fisted plodder in
Finazzo. a Baltimore boy
Another prelim that looms promising
is the five-rounder between K. o. Sloat,
Baltimore welterweight, and Ray
Bowen, Washington.

BASE BALL RACES CLOSE
Percentages of First and Last Place
Clubs Are Revealing.

NEW YORK, July 18 (4).-The class
in subtraction is on the floor and has
ascertained that the difference between
first place and the cellar in the Amer
lean League today runs to $50 per-
centage points. In the National League
it is 268 points
In the International League it is 10
points and in the American Association
only 12l points. The Southern Associa-
zion, with its steady front runner
Birmingham-varies about 300 points.
1t is one of the best percentage crops
that base ball has grown in midseason
Figures are the mute evidences Of
poignant pain to suffering fans. But
when the home team has a winning
percentage of 700 the thermometer can
go to 100 and bust for all they care.

Harris Most Likely to Send
Herring to HiII-Chisox
Easy for Griffs.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.


@UCKY HARRIS and his not
X So-bumptious Bengals are
- our guests for four days,
and during their visit the
Nationals have great hope of max
ing Roadway in the tussling at
Griffith Stadium. A series of four
games, starting today, is Sched-
uled with the Detroit ball club,
and while the Tigers are far from
being "Set-upS," they have trou-
bled the Johnson band so little
thus far in the campaigning that
success for the home side in the
fitting may reasonably be eX-
pected.
Tigers and Nationals have completed
half their annual series, with the latter
leading, games to 3. The Harris
horde has scored over the Johnson
jousters twice in seven games in Detroit
and once in four engagements here.
The record certainly farors the Ma
tionalS in consideration of the current
set.
For the opening clash this afternoon
Manager Walter johnson has selected
as pitcher that old war horse, Sad Sam
Jones' The somber squire of Woods
field has yet to score over the Tigers
this season. although in the past he
was particularly effective against them.
He has faced them twice. In Detroit
they drove him from the hill, but here
he waged an thinning battle with an
other veteran, George Uhle, with each
pitcher yielding five safeties and Jones
taking the 1-tO-0 heating
1'oday's start will be the first for
Jones since June 30, when he faced the
White Sox in Chicago. Then he took
a trimming before retiring in the third
inning.
Harris may select as his starting slab
man Art Herring. a Highlander. He
has hurled against the Nationals twice
this season, but only in relief roles.
Art has done we'll as starter lately,
however 1t was he who hurled the
Tigers to victory over the Athletics last
Tuesday.

AIR DUST COUNT HIGH BEFORE MAN
 HAS ILL EFFECTS

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 24.- Nine million stone dust particles to the cubic foot in the air you breathe won't hurt you, the U. S. Public Health Service has discov- cred.
 It is when the dust in the air reaches a concentration Of 60,000,- 900 particles to the cubic foot that breathing becomes dangerous, the service says.
 Granite cutters in most plants investigated by the Public Health Service breathe dust of this den- sity. After about 20 years they often develop a form of tubercu- losis that is fatal in less than two years.
 When people breathe granite dust their lungs absorb quantities of silica, which forms about 70 per cent of the dust. Once it was thought the sharp edges of the silica particles were what caused lung trouble.
 Now the Health Service believes the harmful action is due to chemi- calls released by the particles when they dissolve.

Moody Not "soft" Touch

Helen Jacobs made the tactical mistake of softening her game at the outset against Mrs. Moody. Per haps she had in mind the success of Miss Ryan's sharply angled chops and sliced shots on the same turf in former years.
 But Miss Jacobs never has had either the versatility or control characteristic of Miss Ryan's game at its best. The result was that her softly stroked returns were setups for Mrs. Moody and it was too late when she finally chose to slug it out.
 Speed is the only factor that now can make much impression against Mrs. Moody's baseline game Mrs. Marion Jessup demonstrated this at Seabright, when she press ed the champion in the semifinals Betty Nuthall, the English girl couples rare confidence with her swift drives, a combination that has troubled the queen of Ameri- can courts on several occasions.
 The renewal of Anglo-American rivalry at Forest Hills affords in- teresting comparison of Betty and Helen for the 1881 records.
