The great chestnut colt. Burgot
King, owned bq E. r. Bradley. pr0v
eG himself the premier three-year
oId when he showed the heart last
saturday to OUTRAGE Tick On, a fav-
orlte from the Iona Stable, and w
NJ. Jefords' BOatswain, for the $780,
315 purse and replica of the
Woodlawn Cup in the Preakness.
More than 10000 yelling specta-
TORS crowded the Hilltop to see the
three horses, far ahead of the other
SIX entries, come into the stretch al
most neck to neck. Boatswain let
its lead slip away as Burgoo King
under the baton of Eugene James
forged to the finishing line only a
head i'll front of Tick On. Boatswain
was a nose back.
The victory carried the Kings win
nings i'll eight days to $1O2,69O for
his owner who maintains his stable
for the love of the sport. Only a
week before Burgoo King showed
his hoofs to a classy field in the
Derby.
Not only did the Bradley colt
stamp himself the finest three-year
old of the season but also Joined a Sc
lect class of winners of both the
Derby and Preakness. Sir Barton in
1919 and Gallant Fox in 1880 won
the two classics.
II anniversary years mean any
thing, Washington should walk i'm
with the American League pennant
this year, according to the believers
i'll lunches. What could be more ap-
propriate, they argue, than for the
George Washington bicentennial to
be celebrated by a Washington vic
tory in the Harridge circuit?
But that isn't the only anniversary
the Senators can celebrate this year.
1t is 20 years since President Clark
Griffith came to the nations capital
as manager and later to become a
magnate. 1t is the 25th anniversary
of the coming of Walter Johnson to |
Washington as young pitcher with !
speed from the wilds of /
Weiser, Ida. It's the fortieth year of |
Outfielder Edgar Charles (Sam) |
Rice's life and his eighteenth straight
seventeenth for Joe Judge.
If those are not enough anniver-
saries on which to tie Washington
Dennant this fall, the Senators are
willing to scrape up few more to
nail it down.
Walter (Huck) Belts, of Millsboro,
Delaware, has started his fourth
est in the Majors. He is with the
Boston Braves and he is pitching as
hough he intended to make this
,isit a prolonged one. He won his
irst three games; two against the
iiants and one against the Pills
3etts was with the Phillies for five
ears after graduating from the Uni
-ersity of Delaware IN 1919. He was
lsed mostly as a relief pitcher and |
lis record was not impressive. The |
'hils sent him to Salt Lake City but
ecalled him the next fall only to
ransfer him to Hartford From Hart
ord he went to Fort Worth from
1hom he was purchased by st. Paul
luck hurled for the Saints for five
ears and his record was so impress
i've that he was drafted by the
raves last fall. Apparently he de- 4
elOped enough stuff" in the Amer
;an Association to make him a
roblem for National League hitters
II he has been one of the main
1gs in the Braves early season Oc-
lpancy of high positions in this y
ears pennant race. II
The Milford "All-Stars" under
ne management of Frank Sapp have II
rganized for this years baseball
'asOn and to date have been play b
lg some fast ball. Last Saturday l.
lie Frederick team journeyed to al
ilford only to meet defeat at the
ands of the Milford team. Milford W
on to ! and Sapp held the Wis D
DIS to five hits. The score:
