Oddities in the setting Of
records, track or American rec
ords, perhaps both: When Old
Rosebud was a two-year-old, he
campaigned at Douglas Park in
Louisville, track now used only
for training. But there on May
26, 1918, Old Rosebud came out
in a five.furlong race and won in
new track record time for the dis
lance, SO As, with Little Nephew
following him home. Four days
later, Old Rosebud again beat Lit.
tie Nephew five-furlongs, in
$685., clipping just fraction
from his freshly set track record.
And three days after that, Old
Rosebud trimmed Little Nephew
for the third straight time, five.
furlongs in 1925. And I think
that time is still the five-furlong
record at Douglas Park.
Straightaway Course
When Salvador went against
the then-record for mile in 1890,
his trial versus the watch was
made on the straightaway course
at Monmouth Park, not far from
Greentree Farm, in New Jersey.
Horsemen will tell you it takes
a gamester to gallop several fur
longs straightaway and not
swerve off a direct line to the
finish. And more especially when
horse has done 80 per cent OF
his training and racing around on
an oval course.
To aid Salvador to make
straight run from start to finish,
a horse and buggy was driven
down the course, close to the left
hand rail. 1t was believed that
both he and the jockey would
find it easier to steer a direct
course between the ruts made by
the buggy wheels. Possibly those
wheel ruts were an aid, because
Salvador set a new record for the
mile, 1852, a mark that stood
for % years.

Injuries Force
Two Yanks0ut

BOSTON, Aug. 5.-Two more
New York Yankees were added to
the cripple list today as the
Yanks prepared for their four
game series with the Boston Red
SoX.
frankie Crosetti, hustling short
stop of the McCarthymen, was
left in New York as the Yankee
special passed through on its way
from Washington to Boston.
AS Crosetti prepared for bed in
the pullman, he fell. injuring his
knee, bringing back the injury
which forced him out of the
lineup in July for week. 1t is
expected he will be out from two
weeks to month.
Johnny Murphy's hurting SER
vices will be unavailable for the
Yanks for at least week. Struck
by a line drive from Dee Miles
bat yesterday, Murphy suffered a
dislocated knuckle, and a pulled
tendon in the ring finger of his
pitching hand.
While Crosetti is inactive. Red
Rolfe will move from third to
shortstop, and Jack Saltzgaver
will handle the hot corner.

national Federation was formed
was the Belgian Concors National,
created in 1878.
The Federation was organized
in Philadelphia after a series of
meetings between Philadelphia,
New York and Boston pigeon fly
ers during the latter part of 1880.
Joseph r. Husson, of New York,
became first president.
DiSmer and Eiker
Washington was attracted to the
Federation during the presidency
of the dynamic I. Fred Goldman,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, who presided
over the organization from 1895 to
1897.
William F. Dismer, who seems to
have taken an interest in pigeon
racing just about the time he dis
carded his rattle, and John T.
Eiker, "big shots" in the Washing
ton Racing Pigeon Club, which
had been formed in 1890. were
instrumental in bringing the club
into the II. F." folds in 1896. Dis
mer served as vice president in
1910, but Eiker stoutly refused all
offers of office.
The Washington Racing Pigeon
Club went over to the newly or
ganized American Racing Pigeon
Union in 1911, but the District
Racing Pigeon Club is its local
representative.
John H. Holmead, of Washing
ton, was elected president Of the
I. F. for 1925, and Albert Sidney
tombstone held the secretary-treaS-
urer office for several years, but
it was Harry C. Burke who made
the biggest II. F." splash for the
Capital.
Elected Four Times
Burke, a pigeon enthusiast of
deepest dyed hue and a brilliant
organizer, became president of the
I. F. in 1927, was reelected four
times in 1880, being drafted that
last year despite his insistence that
he was not a candidate.
The federation'S avowed inten-
tions are to advocate and promote
pigeon racing as a hobby and soft
pedal the mercenary side Of the
sport. However, it distributes
large number of cash prizes each
year, most Of them to average
speed winners.
It is constantly laboring to make
the transportation of pigeons to
various racing stations cheaper
and safer. Five fanciers can or
ganize a club and obtain a char
ter in the I. F.

GLEN MCCARTHY
AT THE RACES

How fast could the fastest
American equine in training run a
mile against time at Arlington
Park? Could he beat Equipoise's
record lover that course) of
1874 rs?
Who is the fastest miller in
America today? Some would tell
you King Saxon. But 1 believe
Discovery could beat him one
mile, handily. The Vanderbilt
racer had caught King Saxon be-
fore the mile in their Brooklyn
Handicap battle and was drawing
away from him at that point.
AS good as he was last year, 1
think Cavalcade would be the
fastest miller in the country today.
Whether he ever will return to his
brilliant form of 1894 is prob
lematical. An uncanny succession
of training and racing accidents
have kept Cavalcade from show
ing whatever may be his 4-year-
old form. But last summer the
brown fellow could turn on as fast
as horses run.
Head Play Another
Another fellow who might be
the keenest sort of contender in a
mile special, if he were back in
training and going sound, and as
sharp for speed as he was in May
and June, is Head Play. He too
nailed the fast King Saxon before
a mile of the Suburban's mile and
a quarter had been run. The
Head Play that was running at
Detroit in June was pretty close
to a mighty horse. For the good
their meetings would have done
racing, it's a pity this blond son
of My Play was denied the chance
OF meeting Discovery in the De-
troit Challenge Cup and subse-
quent stakes.
But-what about breaking Equi-
poise's record of 1884 rs? Could
any of the quartet I have just
named accomplish that trick? I
wouldn't be too sure of it, al
though if a horse of Clang's abil-
ity could romp seven furlongs
in 1922 at Arlington this summer,
it seems reasonable that King
Saxon or Head Play might have
stepped that part of the oval in
1:21 2-5, and then come on
we'll, there you are; could one of
them, running the first seven
furlongs in 1:21 rs, race an extra
furlong in ~ As? He'd have to
do that to finish out the mile
in 1884 is.
Trio Could Win
I believe, with a King Saxon
setting the pace, that either the
Head Play of June, the Cavalcade
of "a, or the Discovery of today
would pick up the brown son of
Saxon so yards from the finish
of mile at Arlington and, beat
ing him out, set a mark of 1874
flat.
In fewer words, the Arlington
Park oval appeared a shade bet
ter this summer than it was in
1882, when Equipoise, under 1913
pounds. came home in front of
Spanish Play and Jamestown.
