CHICAGO, July 4-This was the
day for Equipoise and Gallant Sir,
champions of the east and west, re-
spectively, to race it out in the
$4,000 Stars and Stripes handicap
at Arlington park.
These two great race horses and
twenty-one others were named over
night for the mile and an eighth
race, feature of the holiday program
at Chicago's fashionable north side
course. BY post time the field prob
ably will be reduced to sixteen or
less by scratches.
Clear, cool weather and a fast
track were in prospect for Stars and
Stripes day, and crowd of nearly
10000 was anticipated for the long
awaited Equipoise-Gallant Sir duel.
c. v. Whitney's eastern cham
pion, Equipoise, was to 5 ia
vorite in the morning line. Mystery
surrounding the condition of Gal
liant Sir caused the Norman w.
Church entry of Gallant Sir and
Plucky Play, once conqueror of
Equipoise, to be held at 3 to 1.
Out for a workout in a three
quarter mile race last Saturday at
Arlington, Gallant Sir was in close
quarters and badly bumped He
came out with cuts and scratches
on his leg, and rumors were circu-
lated today that the winner of the
Aqua Caliente handicap last March
in the track record time of 2:02 SIS
had not responded to treatment.
Two veterinarians attended Gal
liant Sir Monday and early today in
an effort to get the big horse from
the far west ready for his impor-
tant race, but doubt was still ex-
pressed in some quarters today that
Churchs star would go to the post.
If Gallant Sir is scratched some
of the edge will be taken off the
Star and Stripes. But it will be a
horse race just the same. There's
more than one horse in the bic
field which has the speed and
stamina to outrun Equipoise, with
the heavy impost of 1876 pounds. if
the champion is the least bit sullky.
Tired Avon, the little FLY, might
do it. She did it once before. Head

New York's pitching weakness,
which developed on the road, is ex-
pected to be cured by the Bronx air.
In twenty-Seven games on the last
trip, only five we're finished by Yam
kee fingers, and one of them was
a siX-inning contest. Meanwhile the
Senators have been getting excellent
pitching and the best hitting in the
majors.
ParadoXically, the Yanks who
were supposed to have one of the
strongest mound stats, Slumped be-
cause of weak pitching, while the
New York Giants, whose mound
squad was rated one of the weakest,
burned up the National League with
their throwing At the season S
halfway mark, Bill Terry's outfit
stands as the most improved club
in the majors because of their
pitching.
The Polo Grounds aggregation,
which sank to siXth-place tie with
st. Louis last year, was the poorest
Giant club since the Andy Fried
mann regime in the early 19O0's,
with the possible exception of John
McGraws tail-end team of 1915.
That's how much the Giants have
improved.
The Giants extended their lead
to six games over the Cardinals
Monday by beating Boston, 5 to 2,
while st. Louis and all other Ma
tional clubs were idle. Hal Schu-
macher held the Braves to seven
hits while his mates collected ten
off Fallenstein, Zachery and Brown.
The Braves combined an error,
triple and single in the ninth for
two tallieS, preventing Schumacher
from getting another shutout. The
Giants already have turned in
thirteen shutouts this year.
Cleveland wrested fourth place
IN the American League from Chi
cago by trouncing the White Sox.
5 to 2, behind Oral Hildebrand's
four-hit pitching. He registered his
eleventh victory of the season. The
Indians collected six safeties off
Durham and Kimsey and were aided
by four Chisox errors. An error bv
Hale in the ninth inning prevented
HlIdebrand from scoring his seventh
shutout of the season.
Detroit beat st. Louis, 8 to 5. after
hammering Coffman, Mcdonald and
Stlles for seventeen hits, while Firpo
Marberry held the Browns to six
The Tigers rallied for four runs in
the sixth, Erwin Fox driving in two

The home FASTENERS hope to get
back in stride today and give the
fans something to remember them
by before they pack their luggage
and hit the western trail opening
at Kansas City Thursday. The first
tilt this afternoon was carded at 2
o'clock and the teams will battle
till shutdown, if compelled to work
overtime. The o'clock baseball law
is not in effect on weekdays. The
Indians will be idle Wednesday and
will use the vacation in travelling to
KaWtoWn.
Hits Are Scarce
1t was an interesting mound
struggle at the stadium Monday
with Pete Daglia opposing Ralph
Winegarner, the former allowing six
hits and the latter five. However,
the Hen hurler enjoyed the better
of the breaks in the late innings
and it was in the eighth that Toledo
put over the winning run and it was
on base by base on balls.
Refs, first up in the eighth, drew
a pass, Doljak sacrificed and West
belted double to left, scoring Refs.
Daglia then famed both Trosky and
before, but the damage had been
committed. The Indians were re-
tired in order in the last three STAN
zas as Winegarner frightened and
received snappy support.
Even Game in Fifth
The Tribesmen got away to a
One-run lead in the second on
Cooney's double and a single by
Daglia, but the game count was
evened in the third by the Hens
and the contest settled down to a
see-Saw affair. In the fourth the
visitors scored twice and the In
dams got one in the same round
and another in the fifth to tie the
conflict at three and three.
Failure to rally for more than one
marker anywhere along the line
proved fatal to home chances. OPP

some idea of the bulk of the Italian

big fellow himself.
The ease with which Primo jos
tied, pushed and tossed Sharkey
about the ring is demonstrated
clearly. Sharkey is pictured put

which merely bounced off his giant
rival. Jack piled up point advan-
tage, but was caught in a sixth
round storm and short right up
percut that really didn't appear to
have a whole lot on it, dropped him
down and out.
Sharkey evaded the so-called "se-
cret punch" in the rounds previous
to the sixth, so it is evident he knew
what Camera was endeavoring to
put over. Jack was backed against
the ropes when the fatal blow con-
nected.
