Preparation Purse at Churchill Downs,
The event, a mile, for $500, went to
Milky Way Farms Whiskolo, which
is not too highly regarded, despite his
victory.
Widener announced at Lexington,
XIV. last night that Chance Sun def
nitely will not start. After in-and-
out workouts last week the colt dis
appointed in his start Saturday.
Third to Warren Wright's fllly, Nellie
Flag. and Mrs. r. B. Fairbanks Blue
beard, he toppled from his position as
Winter book favorite. The odds OF
four, five and six to one which had
been accepted on his chances all

May Be Out All Summer.
~ EXAMINATION failed to bear out
that Chance Sun was lame. but
after returning to Widener's FL
mendorf Farm today he will be taken
to Col. E. r. Bradley's Idle Hour
Farm for treatment. This may take
all Summer, and Chance Sun may not
start again until late in the year.
Among the others which disap-
pointed in the preparation was Hal
Price Headley's Whopper. giant OF
o colt, which tired badly in the
stretch and was third to Whiskolo
and Tearout, the only horse in the
race not eligible for the derby.
The Braedalbane Stables Weston

cate they have any chance for the
$4,000 added that goes to the derby
winner.

wields a wicked wand as far as

cerned, and his extra-basers have ac-
counted for good sized bouquet of
tallies for the Printers during the past

fly hawk, and the aforementioned
Dewhurst snags stray spheres that find
their way out into right field.

the IS session by Norman Hutchin-

alternating between the keystone sack

Good in Losing Battle.

TOM HEANY, top twirler for the
big ink and type men. showed his
old pressure, allowing but five
hits in his losing battle against the
Government boys. Failing to keep
track Of the outs in that last frame,
and making the play to first instead
Of to the plate, chalked up defeat
on his record, but the apparent con-
dition of his business fin doesn't seem
to encourage the other three teams in
the league.
Bean, Roudabush, Jeffries and
Abrahams form reliable staff OF
moundsmen to assist Heany in sub
DUNG ambitious batsmen. They are
received by that reliable backstopper.
Mcpherson, who has as his assistant
in time of need one Jimmie Dewhurst,
whose regular work is chasing flies in
right field.
Fred Waple, the first baseman, is
batting cleanup, and he takes his as
signment so seriously that he has be-
come very unpopular with the op-
posing pitchers. Tom Daglish at Sec
ond, Girard Edwards at short and Ray
Homan, formerly with the Government

THE staggering District suburban.
ite. who actually was not hitting
much more than his weight
when the Nationals embarked upon
this Eastern tour preparatory to head
ing Westward, shows an average OF
only .278 as he goes to bat against
the probable pitching of Johnny Allen
in the final of this three-game series
with the Ruthless horde. But .278
isn't near the pace with which Powell
is bidding to hold his job.
A virtual loss at bat in the first
eight games, when he swung for only
.187, Jake has been slamming the ball
at a 400 rate in the last five Tits.
Moreover his bingles-nine in % trips
to the plate-have been so well timed
that he trails only Joe Kuhel In runs
batted in.
Powell struck about the only cheer
full chord to Harris yesterday as the
Yankees pinned back the Nationals
ears for the second day in a row.
Afleld and on the slab, the Nationals
just didn't have 1t after their bats
overcame a flve-run Yankee lead and
staked Jack Russell to an 8-to-5 edge
as Joe McCarthy,s band went up for
their raps in the eighth.
1t was Powell who provided the big
punch in Washington's six-run rally
in the eighth. After a double by Ira
Wis, single by Bolton and Pinch
Hitter Red Kress' double had cut
down the Gothamites' lead to to 2
in the seventh, the Nationals went
berserk at the tee apparently to clinch
the affair. Manush led of with a
single and after Kuhel had rolled out
Travis again hit for two bases, scor-
ing Heinie. Here Bolton drew a pass
and set the stage for Powell.
Hits First Griff Homer.
4 LVIN took lusty swing on
n Johnny Broaca's offering and
parked the ball in the left field
stands. nearly 400 feet away, to chalk
up the first home run of the season
tor one of Griflth's hirelings and
give the Harris horde a 6-to-5 margin
Jack Stone, who few moments later
was to be the goat" Of the game,
drove across Washington's final two
runs in the same inning when he
tripled to score Russell, who had
walked, and Myer. whose two-bagger
had chased the relief hurler to third
base.
Neither Whitehill nor Russell was
up to par in the box, but the Griffith
A. c. might have won in spite Of
them had not its fielding suddenly
gone awry. Whitehill was touched
for six hits and that five-run lead dur
ing his six-inning tenure on the slab,
and Russell did not prove even that
good. After Bill Dickey had gained
first base on a pop fly which the wind
blew away from Lyn Larry, a home
run by Tony Lazzeri cut the score to
81 going into the ninth.
The Nationals failed in their half,
but the Yankees didn't miss. Hill
singled to open the proceedings, and
Bolton staked Rolfe to base when
he picked up his sacrifice bunt and
threw wildly to first. Then Russell
walked Selkirk to jam the sacks.
Gehrig, next up, couldn't be the
hero, but Stone atoned for Louis short
coming in this spot by dropping the
husky f1rst-sackerS fly, allowing Hill
to score with the tying run. Then up
came Dickey to rifle single just out
of Myers reach to break up the game.

ferred to another grower, Mr.. Smith
said.
The act is purely regulatory to
prevent reproduction and to
overcome the condition that has
prevailed in some years when grow
ers found it cheaper to allow po-
tatoes to rot in the ground rather
than to try to market them" Mr.
Smith explained.
Horace E. Abbott, county agri-
cultural agent, said he had received
no information on the operation of
the law but understood that the
small producer is to be ignored in
most sections on the theory that he
is not a factor in overproduction
anyway.
Stamps Balk Bootlegging
Potato "bootlegging" can be de-
tected through absence of stamps
which must be attached to the
various containers in shipment,
local AAA officials said.
Penalties are provided under the
Internal Revenue Act of 1926, Mr..
Smith said, explaining this statute
covers all tax evasions or violations.
Quota of 226,6O0,O0O bushels,
which must carry tax exempt
stamps, has been fixed on 1896 pro-
duction by the Agriculture Depart
ment, it was said. Potatoes pro-
duced in excess of that amount are
to be taxed.

A TIP FOR c. o. P.

It might be aid to the Republican Executive Committee, when it meets in Washinton this week to decide whether the New Deal has helped or hindered recovery, to look the report of the Bank of America
 This report carried by the Associated Press yes terday reveals that far western business has reached its highest level in 43 months the index standing at 692 per cent of possible normal the highest since January of 1892 and 68 per cent above the cores bonding figure last year.
 Based on that report not the G. O. P Committee, whose business it will be to amass cam paign fodder, very well say the New Deal has hndered business in the West It is doubly encour- aging when it is remembered that the depression started in the East and spread to the West. Like wise recovery started in the place and stretched out across the nation to the Pacific slope The West has in the past twelve months been feeling the impetus of recovery that started the Atlantic seaboard, shortly after Roosevelt took office The Republican leaders themselves admit the agricultural situation in the Middle West is improved under the present farm legislation that they fearful of split in their own ranks over what course to pursue relative to agriculture in the coming election.
 But, of course, the Republican high command is not interested in these important facts of national recovery, though it will find most of the people of them.
