BRAVES
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Judge
Emil Fuchs, who seems to have
run the Boston Braves largely by
ear, explained very carefully at
the close of the National Leagues
schedule meeting last night Just
how he planned to restore the for.
tunes of the ball club by selling
tickets in February for something
that can't possibly happen until
the middle of April.
The judge told a good story, so
good, in fact, that the National
League underworld the lease on
Braves Field for the next ii years.
But, from what I hear today, 1t
may turn out that the Judge was
wasting our time and his.
They tell me tnat Joe Cattar.
Mich and Leo Danurand, high
rollers from across the border,
may weigh in any day with a
bona fide, money-on-the-mark Of.
fer for the Braves.
Canadian Sports
Cattarnich and Durand are gen.
orally referred to as Canadian
SportSmen, courtesy term GOV.
ering the fact that they promote
hockey and horse tracks in the
Dominion and elsewhere.
I'm aware that the spectre of
horse racing is something that
seems to cause the average base
ball man to shudder violently and
pass by with averted gaze. But
I'm also conscious that certain
club owners in major league base
ball have not been averse to
making money out of both enter.
priseS and, the Boston National
League situation being far more
alarming than anybody has cared
to admit, it would be most sur.
prising if baseball wasn't able
to Stifle righteousness in favor
of necessity. The Braves could
very well carry the entire Struc-
ture of the National League with
them if they failed to come up
for the start of the season, Of
ficially listed yesterday for April
10.
Judge Fuchs himself tipped this
fact when, in explaining that,
after all, he was just a beautiful
idealist, he made this statement:
Il can sell Wally Berger for
an amazing sum, the offer being
still open. / could get out Of the
red and have money to carry on
by accepting offers for Dutch
Brandt. But 1 won't do this.
Boston has stood by me and I'll
stand by it,"
The judge seemed to feel that
he was doing something unusual.
Unusual Is Right
Even while admitting that 80
mayors in as many New England
cities had declared a half-holiday
for the Braves openings: that he
bad sold $4,000 worth of book
tickets" for Braves Field in ad.
vance, with $4,000 more in
pledges, and that the governor,
himself, was behind the enter.
prise. All of these things are un-
usual, but the judges decision
about Berger and Brandt is not.
The fact is that the sale of this
pair right now would leave the
Braves as naked as a hitching
most and the National Teao,1e
without franchise in Boston. In
other words, the sale would put
Fuchs back in the indigo for a
month and baseball back to 1899
for the rest Of its life.
The club, I believe, has 81
players on it's entire reserve list at
this time. In a word, it's down
below the player-limit in the
middle Of winter.

all made bids that availed them
nothing, and slipped back into
hopeless ruck, taking the dust
of the three leaders.
Jockey Sims was a smart
rider and had high regard for
his mounts speed and staying
power. He believed that when
the crucial point was reached,
Prince Left would crack under
the drive Of Ben Brush. He
was sure of it. The animal that
thundered under his tight
locked knees was the greatest
in the world. So did the ma
jority of the mob that sent
their shriu, hysterical voices
billowing across the track.
Ben Elder Drops Back
The speed was too much for
Ben Eder. He fell back, though
still giving his best. The race
lay between Ben Brush and
Prince Left. Sims, crouched in
his saddle, with the brown track
running like a river under his
horses laundering hoofs, cast a
quick side glance at his rival.
Perkins was giving his horse
the bat. They were neck-and-
neck, with no more than inches
separating their painting velvety
noses.
Then Ben Brush felt the
whip slashing his straining
flanks. He had been running
a grand race. He ran a better
one now. But he couldn't
shake off Prince Left. Sims
beat away furiously. His weaz.
ened face wrinkled with an in.
tenSity of effort. There were
only a few more lightning
yards between them and the
finish line. Those in the grand.
stand couldn't tell who might
win. The jockeys couldn't
either, but they didn't have
time to think.
And then -. within a
hairs distance of the judges
stand, Prince Left surged for
ward irresistibly. The great
Ben Brush tried to match that
terrific pace but the Nc.
Clelland colt never faltered and
finished a nose ahead of
Dryers pride in the greatest
race ever run in st. Louis.
Five lengths behind them, Eder
led the stragglers home.
Eclipses Derby Record
There was another great
booming of cheers when the
time was hung up. For the
first National Derby ever run
had eclipsed the record made
when Spokane defeated Proctor
Knott in the fastest Kentucky
Derby up to that time. It
broke, too, the st. Louis track
mark set when Miss Woodford
outsprinted Volante in the
Eclipse Stake.
Even though Ben Brush was
twice beaten by Prince Left, he
later proved himself the
greater horse, and most turf
experts agreed that the only
difference between them that
hectic day was supplied by

Brush lived a long; long
while. The Dwyer brothers
died, and so did Byron McClel-
land, who owned the Prince,
and many other noted turf
figures, but the great old

memories of his old conquests.

Ben Brush Was
Great Colt Despite
TWice Losing
By JACK KoFoED

NEW YORK, Feb. ED
Brown and Eugene Leigh went
down to Colonel Clay's farm in
Kentucky for the annual sale
Of yearlings. They were wise
horSemen these two, and be-
came tremendously enthusiastic
over a colt named Ben Brush.
They bought him for $1,000,
and were very proud, indeed,
Of their bargain.
Brown put the colt in train
ing, and almost Immediately
was offered $4,000 for him.
That looked like a good profit
on the investment, so Ed wired
his partner for permission to
sell. Leigh's answer came back
so fast it almost burned the
wires.
Don't sell. I'll give you
$4,000 for your half"
That convinced Brown, and
the two held on to Ben Brush
until the Dwyer brothers laid
$25,0O0 on the line and carried
off their prize.
One of Greatest
Ben Brush, who lived for Is
years, was not only a remark
able runner, but an impressive
sire. Among his descendants
were numbered BroomStick, ES.
coba, Delhi, winner Of $115,'
600 in stakes; Trance, Lady
Amelia, Pebbles and others.
Mike Dwyer said Of him:
''Ben Brush is the greatest
colt ever born. Well win all
the big stakes With him."
That was in 1896. There
was Ben Eder, owned by Bill
McGuigan, ana the brothers
paid $4,000 in cash to get Ben
into their barn.
"Now," they said, nobody
can lick u.s."
Racing Is So Uncertain
It looked that way when
they barged into Louisville for
the running of the Oakley
Derby. But the racing game
is the most uncertain one in
the world. Though the Dwyer
entry was a 1.to-2 favorite,
Prince Left won in a driving
finish, with Eder second and
Brush third.
what of it," demanded
Mike Dwyer. 81 still say Ben
Brush is the best. He was
carrying five Ounds more than
the others, wasn't he?. and
he gos a lousy ride, besides.
Wait till that $4,000 National
Derby comes along. Bet against
Brush then If you want to-.
and eat snow balls all next
winter"
Plenty of bettors thought the
same way. Eder and Brush
were quoted at even money,
Prince Left 3 to 2, Ramiro and
Argentina, the Lucky Baldwin
entry, at to l, Don Garlic at
40 to l and Captive at Is to /.
"Soup" Perkins had the leg
upon the Prince, with Sims, re-
garded as the premier jockey of
America, in Ben Brush's saddle.
Chinn Was Starter
Col. Jack Chinn was the Of
ficial starter, and he gave the
field a perfect send.off. Cap
tive. the long shot, went off
with a splintering burst of
short-lived speed, but Perkins
held the Prince under wraps,
and Brush and Elder bore him
close company. All were con-
vinced that the race lay be-
tween these three. The others
were just in there to dress up
the Sceneray and off little
early competition.
The trio OF stars clung to
gether until they neared the
head of the stretch. BY that
time Captive had faded, and
was laboring breathlessly at the
tail of the parade. Ramiro and
Argentina and Don GARLIC had

last.
The hustle and fire comes from
Rogers HornSby, one Of the great
est baseball leaders in the world
today. At the start Of last years
spring season, Hornsby called the
Browns together in a meeting and
said in effect:
II don't care what happens
this year. 1 don't expect to win
the pennant; don't expect any
miracles. But / do expect every
man on this club to play the
game right up to the handle.
If you loaf on a hit, you will be
fined $50.
IF you don't do your best,
you'll be fined and suspended.
Make all the errors you must,
but give me all you've got while
the game is on"
Play Hard for Hornsby
It was the same speech he
made to the Giants, one day in
1927 when McGraw, injured in
an automobile accident, placed
Hornsby in command Of the
team. The Texan fought two
or three fist battles. He fought
every team in the league and
the Giants played greater ball
for Hornsby than they played
for McGraw.
The Browns will not have a
big squad at training camp this
spring. The club exchequer will
not permit it to begin with, and
Hornsby doesn't believe in large
squads at this time. Like Nc
Graw, he believes that it is just
as easy to finish in the second
division with 20 men as with 80.
And there's more room on the
bench. So he has carefully
selected his men, and he will
carefully scan the waiver lists
between now and June. No good
ball player will be moved around
on the baseball checker board
with the steel eyed Hornsby
watching the game.
Two Rookie Pitchers
His purchased rockies in the
pitching department number only
two at this time. They are Ash
Hillin, of San Antonio, Tex, and
Fay Thomas, from Los Angeles.
The Browns recalled Howard Mills
from San Antonio and Jimmie
Walkup. He acquired Bob Weiland
in trade.
Hillin is 81 years Of age and
a thoroughly seasoned pitcher. He
won "a games down there in the
Alamo town and gave fine dem
onstration of control. He gave 81
passes in 295 innings. That's the
kind of pitching that wins ball
games.
Thomas has been around for a
long time. This writer saw him
first with the Giants, and he as
founded John McGraw by report
ing with lawn tennis racquetS,
golf clubs and fishing tackle. He
thought he'd like to play in some
tournament over in Tampa before
settling down to work. Thomas
also was with the Yankees and
the Cleveland Indians. He is old
enough now to have acquired
poise, and he may make the grade.
Weiland is another seasoned
veteran who may or may not be
of great help to the Browns. The
same goes for Walkup.
Hornsh: will carry on an inter-
esting experiment with Burnett.
Hornsby thinks the boy can play
shortstop, but the evidence is all
the opposite way. He never was
good shortStop. However, Bur
nett'S hitting is superior to
Strange's, and Gift at third is

PENELOPE CATHERINE MOON
Mrs. Penelope Catherine Moon was
born in Grant county, West Virginia,
near Bayard, November 8, 1851, and
departed this life at her home in Mt.
Lake Park, February 27, 1885, aged
SO years, months and &c days. Her
husband, Abraham Moon, preceded
