NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-He has
been a little sick now and then
this season and his support at
times has been pretty much semi
convalescent, but we are going
right out of our way today to
forecast sensational year for

his real self yesterday as he set
the New York Yankees back on
their heels with eight hits and
won, to /. Babe Ruth was up
four times, famed once and got
two flies and a puny grounder
to cop single. Charlie Ruffing
only gave seven safeties but with
a Carnera-like heart, walked
seven and hit one Cleveland bats

Hallahan, Louis ace, out of
the box but Tony Kaufman
came to the rescue and finally
won for the Cardinals in 10

through and won for Philadelphia
over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 4.
Four hits made two runs in
the eighth off Seibold and the
Boston Braves, to 2. Lucas
chalked the hurting success.
Jimmy Foxx pinch-hit homer

limited the champion Athletics to
seven hits in all and Detroit took
it 6 to 5. In the opener the

Illus Vanderbilt Whitney, of New

filly won't be started again until
the rich Selma Stake at Laurel.
Top Flight has been hard at it
all summer and Trainer Healy
thinks she is in need of rest,
following her six consecutive
stake victories.
The Whitney miss looks like
one of the best 2-year-old fillies
to come to the races in years. she
has great speed is a corking
weight carrier and has shown
every inclination of going on. If
she is able to travel a route she
will be a serious threat for the
$4,000 Kentucky Derby next
May at Churchill Downs, KY.
Only one filIy. Regret, the
property of the late Harry Payne
whitney, father of Top Flights
owner, has ever won the Ken
lucky Derby; therefore Trainer
HeaIy is anxious to duplicate

Whitney.
Despite the fact that Top
Flight will be an absentee from
the $4,000 Eastern Shore on Sat
urday, the race promises to be

"The functions of attention
