Three Certain Starters.

~ and Col. Bradley's Bazaar, the
only flllies that will run in the
Derby. Gordon's Sir Thomas and Nor
man w. Church's Riskulus, winner of
of the Aqua Caliente Derby, were the
only Western hopefuls considered Ger
tain to start in the $4,000 added
stake Saturday.
The Eastern band will be swelled to
nine with the arrival Thursday of
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Spy Hill.
Cavalcade appeared nervous after
his arrival yesterday, but his handlers
said he would soon work out of that.
The Eastern arrival which most i'm
pressed local turf followers by his ap-
pearance was Agrarian, which ran
second to Cavalcade in both of the
Sloane colts record races at Havre
de Grace last week.
Jockey Don Meade, who was under
suspension when he rode Brokers Tin
to victory In last years Derby, and
was again suspendedT for fouling In
the Derby stretch run with Head
Play, was set down once more by the
Churchill Downs stewards tor rough
hiding yesterday. The newest sus-
pension was for five days, but because
suspensions do not apply to stake en-
gagements, he will be allowed to ride
Bazaar in Saturdays Derby.

had happened to his prediction.
1.-The college trained candidate" he
said, still should have the better
chance to get ahead In boxing. But,
as see it, there have been two main
drawbacks. One Is the general lack
of proper instruction. The other is
the fact that college boxers rarely
get the chance to train or work with

Jack in 8 of Mats IL Games.

THAT game yesterday was the
i eighth of the season in which
Russell figured. The Nationals
nave played but a dozen. Their
starting slabmen have. been so spotty
that Russell had been pressed into
service in five successive tussles. And
the nth was simply too much for
him. Too much for any pitcher to
take for that matter.
With his curving corps blowing hot
one day and cold the next, something
In the way of a right-hand reliever
must be found to carry on until Rus
sell gets a greatly needed rest. It
might be that the elderly Alex McColl,
now down with the Chattanooga club
getting his doctored arm in trim,
would fill the bill. Both Griffith and
Cronin consider Alex shrewd one on
the hill. But all his shrewdness
would do him no good unless the arm
Is right.
Despite their last-minute defeat.
the Nationals got some consolation
from the PACK of good pitching done
by their starter. Earl Whitehill. Kept
from. the hill for nearly two weeks
by a+scre back, the Earl stepped out
yesterday to left-hand nearly eight
cleveEsinnings.
During his term the Yanks got to
him for eight safeties, one a homer
over the right-field wall by Lou
Gehrig, and three tallies. He also
issued three passes. But the Earl
had lot of zipp on his fast one and
a sharp-breaking curve that had the
Yanks plenty worried. He struck out
five, with the great Babe and such
noted batters as Chapman and Dickey
being among his victims.

but a hacking and slashing band
of freebooters from the Bronx
broke into Griffith Stadium later
and when they left they carted
off the whole works.
And all because of the COL
lapse of one greatly overWorked
member of the Nationals, Jack
Russell.
The strain of steady service was
bound to tell on Russell and it was
small wonder the Yankees dubbed
him to pieces in the ninth to hang
up four runs and get away with a
7-to-4 victory in their first engage
ment of the season with the champs.
Jack had nothing in that final
round that did not look good to the
New Workers. Everything he pitched
they met. Lazzeri began the attack
with a triple poled over Schulte's
head. Dickey doubled and the game
was deadlocked. The sacrificial bunt
Heffner put down was messed by
Russell and there swere two on.
Then Charlie Rufing parked the
ball In the sunparlor back of left.
Here AL Thomas was rushed to the
hill and though the Yanks got no
score off him he had a tough time

SIMMONS LEADER
IN ROUT OF TRIBE
Get, 18 Safeties in 20-10
Win-Cubs Hold Edge by
Overtime Victory.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A N OVERNIGHT rise of %
" points in the Chicago
~ White Sox batting aver
4 \ age had induced their
hackers to shed their principal
cause for alarm today.
The Pale Hose, woeful disappoint-
ments in the early stages of the
American League race, broke no
records as they blasted five Cleve-
land pitchers for 18 hits and a 20-lO
victory yesterday, but the rattle Of
base hits at Comiskey Park was the
sweetest music White Sox fans have
heard this Spring.
Until they finally broke loose, the
Sox had batted only .242 in nine
games, losing six of them, but the
barrage they laid down at the ex-
pense Of Monte Pearson and a varied
collection of successors indicated the
batting crisis had passed.
Al Simmons, who had made only
seven SafetieS in his first nine en-
gagements, led the fusillade with
three hits, including his third homer
IN as many days. Sad Sam Jones,
veteran right-hander, started for Chi
cago but weakened after holding the
Indians to six hits in six innings and
retired in favor of Joe Heving with
the score 20-3.
Meanwhile the New York Yankees
regained first place by tripping Wash
ington, IA, while the Detroit Tigers
were taking q To beating from st.
Louis Browns. Charley Ruffing went
the route for the Yankees and drove
in the winning runs in the ninth
with lusty drive into the left field
bleacherS with two on. The Browns
hoped on Lynwood Rowe for four,
runs in the first three innings and
won from the Tigers, going away.
EINE relief pitching by Bob Kline
II and successive homers by Frank
Higgins and Lou Finney in the
eighth helped the Philadelphia Ath-
leticS win from Boston, 6-2, in the
other American League tuSsle.
The Chicago Cubs held their lead
over the New York Giants in the
National League heap. The Cubs
had to travel II innings to earn an
8-6 decision over the Pittsburgh
Pirates with Guy Bush's courageous
relief pitching and Gabby Hartnett's
string of three hits. including his
fifth homer, as the decisive factors.
The Giants rolled to a SO triumph
over the Brooklyn Dodgers as big
Fred Fitzsimmons stopped the Stengel
men cold with five scattered hits.
Bartells double and Ruble's single
enabled the Philiies to top the Boston
Braves, 5-4, in a tight IO-inning

inals rallied for four runs in the
seventh to beat the Cincinnati Reds,

QUOTAOF RACE
/ TRACK REVENUE
CHECK FOR $500 RECEIVED
AT OFFICE OF COUNTY
CLERK YESTERDAY; QUICK
ACTION ON SHoLTZ' ORDER

Monroe county commissioners
are in receipt of the county's
quota of race track funds for the
month of January. The check
for 81 500 was received at the of
flee of the county clerk yesterday.
Receipt of this check follows
closely upon the announcement of
Governor Dave Sholtz, published
in The Citizen of Monday, in
which he shows this method of dis
tribution will be followed until the
end of the racing season.
1t is the governors idea to pro-
vide these funds to the different
counties in order that the longest
school term possible may be pro-
Evided by using such portions of the
race track funds as may be allo-
Gated by the different counties to
the school funds.
The intention of Governor
Sholtz is to have these funds dis
tributed at intervals of Is days
and continue in that manner until
the final distribution is made.
