STAKE CANDIDATES
TRAIN AT AQUEDUCT
Fitzsimmons Working Derby,
PreakneSs HopefuIS-Has
No "GaIIant Fox"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 12.-At
N the Aqueduct Race Track
where the Winter weather is
made even more severe by the
biting winds from the Great South Bay
Sunny, Jim Fitzsimmons has So thor
oughbreds going through their PAGES
daily on q 10-lap indoor track. As
the weather permits, they are turned
out for q scamper in the spacious pad
docks or jog around the main track.
sunny Jim is the trainer who condi-
toned Gallant Fox for his triumphant
march through the 3-year-old stakes
last year, yet never won q cent on the
big red horse that won 1923, 165 in fouI
months. In 1929 he set 3 new stake
record for trainers, winning rs WITH
thoroughbreds from the Wheatley sta
BILE and the Belair stud. Last year his
charges earned $425, $780,. including the
value of Gallant Fox's cups, but Fitz-
simmons made only $125 wagering. The
year before his betting losses totaleo
$257.
No Gallant Fox in Lot.
"It's o fine loe of thoroughbreds, but
there's no Gallant Fox among the
group" said the 57-year-old trainer, as
he recalled the Fox'S nine stake VIC
tories and one defeat by the 10o-to-1
shot, Jim Dandy.
Nevertheless, Sunny Jim is going
about preparing three of his charges
for the Preakness and Kentucky Derby.
Blenheim, of the same name as the
1880 English Derby and by the same
sire, will carry the Wheatley Stable
silks, while William woodward has
nominated Sir Ashley and Ormesby
from the Belair Stud. The last two
are offspring of Sir Gallahad III, which
also sired the mighty Fox.
"You know, am perfectly content to
have one horse in lifetime like Gal
liant Fox said FitzSimmons. He truly
was q great horse-the best 3-year-old
ever trained. Diavolo, however, was
just as great as q 4-year-old and Dice
tops my 2-year-old list"
Gallant Fox has been retired to the
stud, but Sunny Jim Is firm in his con-
viction that the famous, son of Sir CAL
lahad III would have been as great or
an even greater 4-year-old than Diavolo.
''Diavolo could run all day and defeat
any horse at even weights as 4-year-
old, but the handicappers beat him, :"
said FitZSimmons. THE same thing
would happen to Gallant Fox II Mr..
Woodward chose to race him this year.
There are too few weight-for-age races
in this country and with the Fox in
the hands of the handicappers he would
almost certainly be defeated by some
lightly weighted, cheaper horse"

PASSING OF LEAGUE
REGRETTEDBY ALI
Disbands When Majors Help
Is WithdraWrl--Rest May .
Aid Territory.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, February 12.--In
M the dissolution of the Blue
Y Ridge League a fine minor
circuit composed of teams
in Pennsylvania and Maryland
lies tangible demonstration on
the evils accompanying major
league subsidies of clubs in the
lesser base ball organizations.
Not only do the base ball writers
recognize the danger lurking in the
practice OF major leagues giving finan-
cial assistance to minor teams, but
the senior circuits themselves by with
drawing their support admit their belief
that substituting has not been doing
as much good as was expected.
The president of the Blue Ridge
League was J. v. Jamison, IT.. one Of
the brightest and SnarteSt men In.
minor leagues base ball, whose adn1ini-
stration of the circuits affairs has been
commended universally. Among the
teams of the circuit were Chambers
burg, Frederick, Hanover and Waynes-
boro.,
Deserted by Majors.
The league developed players Of skill
and many of them. In time the en-
thusiasm Of the fans in the cities of
the circuit abated somewhat and ex-
penseS increased. The circuit was
given major league aid and some of its
franchises were controlled by major
league capital, The Philadelphia Ath-
letics, Cleveland and the New York
Americans lent financial assistance to
Its clubs. This year they withdrew
their aid and the local hackers in the
various cities, when they discovered
this fact, disbanded the organization.
This Is not the first instance of this
kind. When a minor league becomes
dependent upon major league capital,
the fans around the circuit lose their
zeal to assist it. They take 1t that
the club relies for its existence upon
major league backing and their local
ppde abates as they imagine the
league will go on and on, mostly as Q
farm for big league teams, whether
they support it or not.
Rest May Help.
A year or two of rest may do the
Blue Ridge territory good, yet the dis
bandment Of the league is heard with
much regret, because it has been one
Of the standard minor organizations.
The policy of the major organiza-
tons in Withdrawing some part of
their support from minor league clubs
Is in part due to the fact that the
big fellows finally have come to the
belief that major league Substituting
of minor league base BAH is not doing
as much good as was hoped.
This has been discussed freely In
private during the past Winter. the dis
cuSsion being brought about by the OPP
position Of some owners to the So
called chain store system Of the st.
Louis National League Club. One own
er put 1t in this way-'If Sam Breadon
and Branch Hickey wish to finance the
minors wholesale let them go TO It"

Chips From the Mapleways.

There viii be no odds when Eddie
Espey and Paul Harrison meet George
Lang and Ed Blakeney In doubles and
Max Rosenberg takes on Blakeney in
singles tonight in Baltimore. Among
bowlers Of their caliber the victor is he
who gets the breaks.
THE John Blick Girls rose nobly in
l. crisis when they met the Lucky
Strikes In a Ladies District League
match at the Lucy Strike. It was the
one tough spot between the Blicks and
the pennarlt and they swept past it with
q cleanup. Elsie Fischers 330-set de-
cided the issue, though Ellen Viehmey-
er's 120-game was a big help.
A nine-pin spare in the last frame
by Al Work saved the situation and
enabled the Rendezvous to make it q
clean sweep over Convention Hall fin
a District League joust.
Henry Rodier, who usually foresakes
bowling to golf in Southern chimes and
watch the Grihimen train, isn't going
to Biloxi this time because his pal, Of
these jaunts, Eddie Eynon, isn't.

"A trict League was made by the
Boulevard team when it shot 572
against the RecreationS, at the boule"
ward. The individual counts were:
Gladys Lowd, 1871; Reva Banks, 1926;
Frances He'll, lis; Jennie Malcolm, 104,
and BessS Ackman, 81.
It was the only game the Boulevards
won, the enemy shooting 524. The
Recreations held the previous season
record with 500.
/. It seems q waste of talent for Brad
Mandley and Hokie Smith to carry on
with the Fountain Hams, who made a
fiashy start In the National Capital
League, but never could get up the right
team spirit and have been hit or miss.
They took a three-game beating from
the Rinaldi Tailors last night which,
however, was nothing to be ashamed Of
The Rinaldis shot $50, $40 and 500. :.
The sensational Ollie Pacini flashed
again, with a set of AIS that included a
high game of las.

vention Hall and Reva Banks OF Boule-
ward are the class of newcomers to the
girls bigtime and shortly will match
them, i've games to be rolled at the

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruf completely
and that is to dissolve it. Then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruf you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly and your hair will be
