some twenty years ago were the talk
of the turf world.
This years winter racing has seen
r. Simpson forge rapidly to the
front rank of Jockeys. Simpson is
a Kentuckian. According to turfmen
who have watched him perform he
is a natural rider. He is alert at the
barrier, gets his mount away wing

He has been a consistent winner in
the South throughout the winter.
Perhaps the greatest Of the old
time Negro jockeys. Isaac Murphy
was probably the best. He has the
distinction of riding three Kentucky

Derbys on Modesty, Silver Cloud,

Tolan Loses Record
To Oklahoma Sprinter

DIES MONIES, Ia.-To the amaze
ment of 10000 spectators Eddie
Tolan, worlds champion 1OO-yard
dash title holder was defeated in the
Century dash featuring the Drake
Relay Carnival here Saturday. The
famous colored star of the Univer-
sity of Michigan was defeated IN the
thrilling event by Peyton Glass, nine
teen-year-old boy of Saltwater,
Okla, representing the Oklahoma
Aggies. The white youth took the
measure of the famed Tolan by a
margin so close it took the judges
several minutes to decide the winner.
The two sprinters raced shoulder to
shoulder until the last stride when
Glass in final desperate lunge beat
Tolan to the tape by scant nose,
winning in :09.7, two-tenths of a
second over the worlds mark held
by Tolan.

Night Baseball
Here To Stay

Night baseball no longer is in the
experimental stages. With' fifty
eight clubs from sixteen of the eigh-
teen minor leagues in organized
baseball ready to play all or major
portion of their schedules under
nostural flares, the night game ap-
pears to be here permanently.
Here Are Some Reasons
The Pacific Coast League is COM
Dletely sold on the night games, and
all of its members will play after
dinner games as soon as the evenings
become warm enough to insure the
spectators comfort. Success of the
night game at Sacramento. the first
Pacific Coast club to pioneer the
idea, quickly converted the other
seven to the idea.
Sacramento, the smallest city in
the Coast League, had been the weak
sister of the organization for years
and often visiting teams did not
make meal money in the California
capitol. Last year with night games
Sacramento drew 80,404 more paid
admissions than in 1929, and that
without being a pennant contender.
Four international League teams
are planning to play at night this
year, while Indianapolis in the Amer
lean Association will follow the same
scheme. Two Southern Association,
six Texas League and four Western
League teams also have Joined the
night hawks. In Glasses B and C
leagues many teams have installed
| electric lamps for night contests.
1t is in the smaller leagues. where
only small percentage of the pop
ulation is able to attend afternoon
games, the night contest fare best
Decatur of the Three Eye League
showed an increase of 20,744 Gus
toners for 1880, after adopting q
night schedule, and Keokuk of the
| Mississippi Valley lop had gain Of
7,165 patrons.

ETROIT, Sept. 22.-Hello,
everybody.
American Legionnaires. behind
the barrage Of music and noise
they've laid down on the whole
Detroit sector, are consolidating
their positions. The first one is
their stand on beer. That's the
one the majority wet troops have
put into the strongest shape.
There wasn't much progress
made in the big bonus drive. 1t
was a strong looking offensive
until the bonus forces saw they
were Outweighed, and President
Hoover fired the last defensive
gun. Then the prO-bOnus and
prO-beer groups fell back on the
Gambrinus line. They are strongly
entrenched there.
Beer Army Strong
And it's hot enough weather
here in Detroit to make the semi
drys listen to wet arguments
when the big debate on the
legion's stand begins. There are
lots of strong leaders in the beer
army. 1t was different in the
bonus campaign.
In any cool. shady spot behind
the militant front lines at the
convention city, there are other
mergers going on.
The boys are talking about how
to consolidate the legion's place
in politics.
They wan. friends in head
quarters. So in hotel lobbies or
wherever the veterans go to rest
after another march over the
hot asphalt, there are whispers,
button-holing and deep secrets.
Since Newton ID. Baker came

to town and made a good speech
before the convention, there have
been whispers about him as the
Democratic Presidential candi
date. Most Of the boys say he's
a good fellow, but there are still
plenty of partiSanS for all kinds
of other candidates.
Roosevelt Stops Traffic
Other places there are more
arguments for Col. Teddy Roose-
velt as a Republican Vice Presi-
Dental candidate. He's been
stopping traffic since he arrived
from Porto Rico and he's been
taking a big part in legion af-
fairs.
Picking out a list of favorlte
political sons for the legion isn't
such an easy job as rounding up
sympathetic ex-doughboys to vote
for anti-dry resolutions, because
the weather is hot right now
and thirsts grow where political
interest doesn't flourish so well.

The outlook today on the major

VentiOn.
