Sun Beau Is Nearing Record of Gallant Fox
For AllIime Earnings ON the Race Courses

Beau stands at the head of turf's
handicap division. winner Of s264,-
SIC and ready to grab all-time
money-winning honofs with one
swift turn around the Aqua Caliente
track on March %.
Other thoroughbreds have risen
to fame as two or three year olds and
then retired. But not so with Sun
Beau. As a 2-year-old, he was just
a good stable mate for Sun Edwin,
the pet of the Kilmer stable.
One day, however, he ran a great
mile. Kilmer changed his mind
about that $4,000 offer and since
sun Beau has been increasing the
Kilmer bank roll at the rate Of
nearly 100000 annually.
As the result of his great hnan-
cial success in 1890, Sun Beau rose
to fourth place in the money-win-
ming list. Victory in the 100000
Aqua Caliente handicap, for which
he has been made the future book
favorite, would boost the Kilmer
ace far and beyond Gallant Fox,
which retired last year after winning
SS2S,l05.
Despite the sudden rise of The
Fox, Zev, financial genius of 1923,
still ranks second with earnings of
$3lS,369. e. r. BTadley's Blue
Larkspur threatened to pass the for
mer Rancocas star at one time but
was forced into retirement after
accommodating S272,070.
Even Man o. War has been passed
in this era of big purses. The super
horse once ranked near the top, but
today he Is sixth with $249, 465.
If Sun Beau fails to win the Aqua
Calisnte handicap and pass Gallant
Fox, the big red horse from william
Woodward's barns still stands in a
position to lose his financial title.

mere youngsters as masters
come in the most intricate field
of billiards, cross cues tonight fer the
three cushion championship of the
world and the pot of gold that goes
with the crown.
The two 30-year-old Chicagoans, who
brushed aside the defending champion
and two former title holders in their
sweep to the finals of the 1881 touIna-
ment, will match artistry and nerves
over a 50-inning route. A salary OF
Sc 900 a year, ST 1000 in cash, per-
centage of the gate receipts and the
tidy sum available to a champion for
exhibitions will bring the winner ap-
proximately $4,000.
Hall Il FavOrite.
Hall, conqueror of the three-time
champion and his former teacher,
Johnny Layton Of Sedalia, Mo-, was q
big favorite to win in the deciding
match, but hard, rve-wracking duel
was certain. Both play a great defen-
sive game and both have that extra
ounce of nerve that makes champions,
Both have won five and lost one during
the Today tournament.
The loser Of the championship match
will meet Layton in a play-oh for sec
ond place tomorrow night, Layton,
who finished his regulation tournament
play last night by crushing Otto Reiselt
of Philadelphia, so to 80, in 80 innings,
won five games and lost two. Runner
up position is worth an annual salary
Of S., 900 and part of the gate receipts.
Although Layton failed to retain the
title he has held without interruption
since 1928, he played the best billiards
in the eight-player field. He had the
three best games, running out once in
the thirty-first inning, once in the
thirty-Second, and again in the thirty
sixth.
Reiselt Is Fourth.
Reiselt was fourth in the final stand
ing, with four wins and three losses.
Tiff Denton, INA Kansas City veteran,
and Frank Scovil1e Of Buffalo tied for
fifth. Denton turned in a high run OF

PLAYER CLEVELAND
LET co IS ONLY 50
Too old for Indians Plans.
Change of Scenery May
Give Him New Life.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, January 90
nj Much speculation has arisen
1 this week as to why the
New York Yankees took on
Joe Sewell. Joe had been with
Cleveland for many years and
when the Indians permitted him
to depart Internationally the
impression was given that he had
been found unsatisfactory and
could no longer fill a role on a
team that is being rebuilt on the
theory of youth.
1t may be true that he was through
as far as Cleveland is concerned, but
there are times when player who has
served for many years with one team
can go to another and do well.
Sewell is 80 years old. That is not
the deadline for age in a major league
player. Some have gone four or five
years beyond that period. Usually If a
man is sound physically he can play
we'll up to IS, and many 60 beyond
that. The first failing Of players. as a
rule, is in their legs, especially in the
knee joints. When the latter fail to
respond the player may still bat, but
he will slow up in the field.
If Sswell has weak arm 1t will
quickly show itself, and in that case
he will not be of much u3e to the
Yankees except as a pinch hitter. II
his arm Is good enough to carry him
through this season the Yanks may
count themselves lucky in getting him.
The Yankees we're fused all last sea-
son by their infield. There was q weak
ness at shortstop and Bob Shawkey,
who was manager last year, thought
there was weakness at third base. TO-
overcome it he endeavored to make a
second baseman out Of Chapman and
put Lazzeri on third.
In doing that he spoiled, or took out
OF place, a perfectly good second base
man, one of the best in the game, and
tried to convert a young man who had
been playing third base into o second
baseman. That is very diffieult
undertaking in midseason Shawkey
brought Lyn Larry in to play at short
stop and the latter did better, many
things considered, than his critics
thought he would.
II Sewell can play shortstop with
aleFtneSs and assist his throwing arm
by coming in fast for ground balls he
can help the Yankees much. They can
return Lazzeri to second, where he nat
urally belongs, and put Chapman back
on third, for which he Is better adapted
than second. All of the experiment,
s far as Sewel is concerned, Is based
on his physical ability. If he can show
a reasonably sound arm and sound
undeFpinning, the Yankees have made
wise venture,

But he found no little consolation in
a review Of similar performances by

Johnny Baum and Ray Chaplin, in

lost a District League pennant with q

The Districts and the Rathskellers,

week Of a hectic race almost on even
terms for first place. II the DlStflcta

looked almost cinch.
But Chaplin, famed as the man who
had rolled 434 for an all-time record
and tied it within a few days, dropped
in a game of 90 that tumbled the
Districts to defeat in the opener.
Baum, his pal, gave him a fancy
bunch of raZZberries.
How you gonna win a pennant
with a load like that?" doomed
Johnny, or something 10 that effect.
But Ray got even.
Baum was the ace of anchor men.

RETURN OF NET ACE
IS PROBLEMAT|CAL
Without Him France Likely
to Find Young American
Team Troublesome.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEw YORK, January Is
M (CP.A0 r. eports from
l abroad that Rene Lacostc
will shortly start practicing
at lawn tennis, in order to deter
mine whether or not he can stand
the rigorS of tournament play, are
significant in terms of interna-
tional sport.
At the list Regiment Armory in this
city, where many of our best players
are spending the late afternoon hours
at tennis, there is the feeling among
players who 60 abroad every year and
are familiar with foreign conditions
that Lacoste's return to tourney play is
highly prohlematical. He had touch
sible for his retirement from the game
in 1928, after he had won the French
outdoor singles and, with Borotra, the
French doubles title.
Rene Does a FadeOut.
He did not go to Wimbledon that
year, Cochet winning there and since
then has not figured in important play
He was out of Davis Cup play both in
has recovered from his malady and is
hard at work in his motor business,
But whether he could stand the strain
of hard tennis or. even If he could.
whether his physicians would permit
him thus to jeopardize his health, are
both doubtful questions.
II he did return to the game and
were able to regain his best form,
France would have no cause to worry
about the safety of the Davis Cup for
two or three years to come. Otherwise,
what with the steady advance of our
younger players, the Davis Cup holders
will have plenty of cause for appre-
hension. France has some young play
ers coming up, too, OF whom the best
seems to be Christian Boussus, who will
be seen here in indoor play next March
but numerically and in point of quality
American youth seems to be more
promising.
Coehet Stands Close.
Cochet and Borotra certainly will
have to be Frances reliances next year
II Laeoste does not return to the game.
Cochet Is as far ahead Of all other
tennis players of the world as Bill TIL
den was in his prime. Tilden says Rene
Is the greatest tennis player of all
time. Some will hold that the lanky
American veteran Is modest; others
will agree with him,
As for the other mainstay, Borotra,
he is getting older, and there seemed
last year to be some hints of slipping.
If the season Of 1891 hnds him going
back definitely, Lacoste certainly would
be q lifesaver we're he to return TO
tennis in fine fettle. We shall get q
pretty good line on the Basque in March
when he comes over here for an in"
door tournament on Davis Cup lines
against an American team.
The French team will consist of Boz
Fotra, Brugnon and BouSsus. and play
against an American aggregation will
follow the mems national indoor sin
giles. which begin March IA in New
York. If Bcyotra should not show al
his stun ard IL should be borne in
mind that his strongest point has al
ways been on board courts suspicion
that age Is beginning to tell on him
might warrantably be entertained.
