Rowe eMemoriaI
7 ests Eastern
3-year OIds

BOWIE, Md, April 8.-Racing
patrons will obtain good line
on Eastern Kentucky Derby and
Preakness candidates in the run
ming of the Rowe Memorial
Handicap at Bowie tomorrow.
Twenty-Five of the most ad-
vanced three-year-olds in the East
have been named among the
prospective starters in this i'm
portant test. 1t is likely at least
a dozen will accept the weights
assigned by Joseph McLennan.
Walter j. Salmon's Air Pilot,
son of Swife and Sure-Snow-
capt, winner of the Capitol purse
on opening day, is likely to
parade to the starting line favor
ite for the rich purse.
Air Pilot has been training
nicely for the Kentucky Derby
and PreakneSS. Trainer Jack
Pryce has been extremely care
full of the way his valuable three
year-old advances in his training.
The fact that the son of Swift
and Sure established new five
furlong record of 1:01 in winning
the Capitol purse here has salts.
fled his trainer that he has ali
of his old-time speed. 1t is just
question if he can stick it out
for the full route.
The fact that the Rowe Me
mortal was cut down from a mile
and 10 yards to six furlongs was
a great disappointment to Pryce,
The young horseman wanted to
send Air Pilot over the longer
route. This would have helped
him advance the Salmon 3-year.
old a step further in his training
for the Derby.
But the extra furlong tomorrow
will help some. If Air Pilot takes
his field into camp, his capable
trainer will be we'll satisfied with
the effort.
Phantom Legion Looms
Phantom Legion, a son of Our
General-Phantom Fair, who fin.
ished only a length behind Air
Pilot in the Capitol Purse, looks
like the most dangerous candidate
the Salmon 3-year-old will en-.
counter in the Rowe Memorial.
Phantom Legion came right
back Tuesday to beat Regula Bad
dun neck over the five and a
half furlong course in 1:06 As.
He may improve enough off this
brilliant effort to make his Sal
mon rival step the fastest three
quarters of the meeting to beat
him this weekend.

Brothers Doubles
Tourney Dope

With the big intercity matches
a thing of the past, and the
national tournament at Nor
folk going into history, it is
time for the duckpin fraternity
"a most timely worO to turn
to The Washington Times
Brothers Doubles Tournament,
which opens next Saturday.
Entries are pouring in stead
lily, and large bulk of them
are from brothers whose aver
ages are not particularly bril-
liant.
It's going to be a lot of
fun" said one of them, land
it won't cost so much, and
then there is always a chance
of coping something. That's
why we are going in"
For the convenience of every
brother combination in the
city, the first block may be
rolled at either the Recreation
or Bethesda alleys, and in the
afternoon or at night.
The entry fee is only six
bucks a team, three dollars
for each man, and this in.
cludes the cost of games. A
handsome trophy will go to the
winning pair, besides a cash
prize.
Are you and your brother en-.
tered yet?

POISON TESTS
CONTINUED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.
While preliminary chemical tests
of the stomach of Phar Lap,
great Australian race horse who
died on the Ed Perry ranch here,
failed to disclose any trace of
poison, DR.. Kary F. Meyer, of
the University of California, said
today the tests would be contin-
ued until a thorough examina-
ton of the vital organs of the
horse had been made"
The chemical analysis was
ordered by David j. Davis, owner
of the thoroughbred, to determine
the exact cause of the horses
sudden death.
1t probably will be five weeks,
DR.. Meyer said, before definite
results are obtained.
Investigation also was under
way by F. N. Chisholm, of the
Federal Food and Drug Admins
tration, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Chisholm
continued examination of samples
of green grass, taken from
orchards nearby the Perry ranch.
He said no poison of any kind
had yet been found in the grass.
On the day OF Phar Laps
death, Chisholm went to the
pasture where the horse exercised.
He said it was probable that
poisonous sprays used on trees
IN adjoining orchards might have
blown into the pasture.
Chisholm said he was now in
cllned to disregard this theory
because no other race horses
stabbed at the Perry ranch had
been stricken ill.
Although accepting the belief
that Phar Lap died of collie.
Davis said both investigations
would be continued.

Hank Gowdy's Mask

Hank fits into the domestic
background largely through
dint of his unfortunate expe-
rience in the world series of
1924 when he was doing the
New York Giants catching. In
the twelfth inning of the cru
cial final game of the set, he
stumbled over his mask which
he had yanked from his head
to take Muddy Rueps high foul
back of the plate, the blunder
causing him to drop the ball.
Ruel finally scored with the
winning run.
Gowdy said he'd never forget
that day. About 10000 Wild
eyed fans who saw it will never
forget it either and that goes
for John McGraw Freddy Lind
Strum and lot of other play
ers on both teams.
Art Shires played a sweet
first base for the Braves yester'
day. The young man seems to
have tanned down a bit or else
he is saving his stuff" for the
regular season when he starts
to get paid for it.
Neither the Griffs nor the
Braves are as yet functioning
smoothly, which story is best
told by the box score that isn't
a credit to any major league
combination. However, it is still
early April and there's a lot
that will be ironed out and still
plenty of time in which to do it.

PINEHURST, N. c., April 8.
Dick Wilson, of Southern Pines,

Kerr Steps Around

Some impressions we're gath
cred, however, chief among
them being that Johnny Kerr
proved he was something more
than mere ballast in the win
ter trade which brought him
and Carl Reynolds here for
Sam Jones and Bump Hadley.
In fact, Kerr, filling Joe Gro
nin'S shoes during a sinus at
tack, spun around the infield
in a light sprightly manner,
proving he knows how to pivot
on double plays and establish
ing himself in the hearts of
the fans as a hitter of extra
base clouts.
It isn't always you can step
into the visitors dressing room
and find so many faces which
have been in times back Signif-
icant in local baseball episodes.
There were Art Shires, Tom
Zachary, Pinkey Hargrave, Earl
Clark and Long Hank BoWdy,
somewhat older, somewhat more
gaun than when he came out Of
the world war with sergeant's
chevrons on his sleeve.

WILL SAC O4uNS IL ID DC41CNCA'
Soon or even sooner the names
of Johnny Boyle, Luther (Bud)
Thomas and Mike Delaney are
expected to be included in a list
of players to be sent to Joe
Cambria's club. Your Uncle
Clark Griffith has not made any
official announcements yet. but
they are seen in the very near
offing from the latest dope.
It's been a generally known
fact all this while that Boyle and
Thomas were going to be sent
somewhere. But in Delaney's
case there's been little doubt
because of his good one day and
bad the next" showing since the
start of the grapefruit games. He,
however, no doubt will be sent
to Youngstown with Boyle and
Thomas in the end, because of
the experience he needs to be-
come a polished hurler.
Pitching Bad
The value pitching means to
ball club was clearly demon
strated yesterday as the Griffs
dropped 10-to-9 engagement to
the Boston Braves at Griffith
Stadium. Big Fred Marberry,
Manager Johnson'S veteran right
handler, was far off fettle with
the result he was socked very
soundly by the Boston Braves, in
fact SO Soundly that all the hits
his mates collected behind him
were in vain.
CroWder, who followed, turned
in a. little better effort, but the
margin of victory was scored off
his offerings in the sixth when
Shortstop Urbanski, of the Braves,
hit a single to left field driving
across Clark who had walked.
Old Tom Zachary and Lefty
Brandt, considered the best south
paw in the National League last
year, hurled for the Braves. Both
were hit very hard, but Brandt
had enough in reserve in the
latter innings to hold the Griffs
at bay when bingleS meant the
winning of the ball game.
Braves Jump Marberry
Three former Griffs performed
for the Braves, by the way. In
Guiding Tom Zachary, Pinkie Har.
grave was behind the bat and
Arthur (The Great) Shires was
on first base. Earl Clark, Wash
ington boy, played center field.
The two teams matched run
for run in the first three innings.
But with the count deadlocked
6 to 6, the Braves jumped upon
Marberry for three markers in
the fourth to take a lead, which
with the help of another marker
in the sixth, proved the margin
of victory.
The GriffS outhit their rivals
in the matter of stick work.
Manager Johnson's gang collected
16 bingles with Myer, Manush,
West and Kerr leading the
assault, while the Braves manu-
factured Is with Maranville get
ting three, Hargrave, three, and
Urbanski, two.
Moe Berg divided honors with
Roy Spencer behind the bat for
the Griffs. The new catcher col
lected one hit in three times at
bat, his lone bingle driving across
a run in the fifth. Harris and
Rice were other utility men who
got into the fray.
The Washington times., 1932-04-08

And by the time Fred was in
the showers more damage was
done than could be overcome
in the rem aiming innings. Of
course if they had played nine
or 10 more frames, possibly
Washington wouldn't have lost,
but then they've had a way
for a long, long time of stop
ping games at the end of the
ninth inning regardless of who
is ahead, and thus Washing
tons first taste of 1882 profes-
sional ball was slightly bitter.
