BIG THREE OF
TURF POINT FOR
NARRACANSETT'

Narragansett Park, Pawtucket,
r. l., Aug. additionally known
turf experts now gathered at Sar-
atoga, where Omaha, Discovery and
Cavalcade, the big Three" of the
Narragansett Special are training,
appear convinced that this trio will
sacrifice many Of their important
Spa engagements in favor of the
rich prizes to be offered by Walter
e. O'Hara, here on August 21.
Everyone who is anyone In the
turf world visits Saratoga for at
least a week end during the August
meeting at the Spa. Thus the turf
writer's have an opportunity to sift
for facts upon which they may
base their weighty opinions that
are unequalled during the remain
der of the year. Here are some OF
their recent thoughts:
Writes Beau Belmont q. ]. Fitz-
gerald) in the New oYrk Morning
Telegraph: "Discovery's next start
may come in the Merchants and
Citizens Handicap Cat Saratoga)
on August 10 :, However. there
is far better chance for him on
the 21st at Narragansett park in
Walter O'Hara's $4,000 special,
which automatically b e o m S
worth that sum IL either Discovery
or Cavalcade oppose Omaha. That's
the best opportunity any of the
three will have for the remainder
of the season ;"
Beau Belmont continues: "Oma-
ha is regarded by checkers as
doubtful for the Saratoga handi-
cap"
Says Norris Royden in the New
York Daily Racing Form: dis
covery. If his connections had any
idea of giving him a brief rest,
used the Wilson Stakes at Saratoga
Wednesday as an unwinding gall
lop, so easy was his winning effort
over the mile distance"
New England fans will recall
that Trainer bud" Stotler had
planned to freshen up the SON of
Display, ducking other serious en-
gagements, until the Special came
up.
Charles Hatton, turf columnist
for the N. Y. Morning Telegraph,
opines: "Cavalcade, according to
his connections, no wis pointing for
the Naragansett Special on August
1. The temperance OF the Brook
meade Acc has been delayed sew
erai times due 10 infirmities since
the running OF the Suburban Al

SUFFOLK DOWNS
| HANDLE NEARLY
ELEVEN MILLION
Boston Truck, Built on a
Dump Proved Sporting
Miracle in Is Days

Boston, Aug. 12-Suffolk Downs
is the ninth miracle of the turf
world. The beautiful and popular
mile race track, which rose like
Phoenix from the dump grounds
of East Boston, is now showing the
way to all contemporary courses
after q meeting that ranks among
the most successful in the archives
of the sport.
Ten weeks before the Suffolk
Downs inaugural racing fans
scoffed at visions of a race track
on a site where there was nothing
but barren wilderness of waste
andw broken bottles and small
boys grubbing through the refuse
for childish treasures. Those who
came to scott remained to wonder.
Under the engineering genius of
Mark Linenthal and the organic
ing ability Of Charles F. Adams, v.
c. Bruce Wetmore, Allan Wilson.
Joseph Tomasello and other off,
Gals of the, Eastern Racing asso-
citation, Americas most beautiful
race track slowly took shape. The
giant grandstand, one of the larg-
est of it's kind in the world; the
mammoth clubhouse, with it's ex-
quisite penthouse; the English
walking ring; the beautiful pad
dock-all of these. things, and
more, combined to make Suffolk
Downs an outstanding addition to
the sport of kings.
Big People,
Governors, mayors, social lead
ers, business executives and white
collar workers Joined in the color
full inaugural ceremonies on the
afternoon Of July 10. Hosannahs
were sung; bouquets were handed
out in verbal profusion; salvos of
applause sounded-and still there
were doubters. The overhead was
too high, they said; the track was
poorly situated, despite the pres
ence of three millions people with
in radius of ten cent ride; the
players would not turn out.
But they did! Americas finest
horses were magnets that attracted
fans from all over New England.
The attendance and the play
through the totalizer machines
mounted steadily from opening
day. During the final eighteen days
of the summer season the mutuels
averaged better thatn $400, 900
daily, being topped by last day
magnificent attendance of more
than $4,000 fans and a play which
was we'll above the 100000 mark.
Total play for the 28-day season
encroached upon the $11,000,0 900
mark with daily average handle
of approximately $3s4,000.
October Show
Suffolk Downs Is not content to
rest on its laurels. Plans are al
ready under way for an autumn
meeting of sixteen days which
promises to even eclipse the meet
just past. The fall season gets UNI
der way on October 2 and runs
through October 10, and a distin-
guished stakes schedule is in the
throes Of preparation by Racing
Secretary Frank j. Bryan. These
stakes will provide rich purses cal
culated to bring out the cream OF
Americas thoroughbred stock;
once more a colony of fine jockeys
will be on hand to guide them;
once again fans will congregate at
East Boston track to pay tribute to
King Horse amid the most color
full and eye-arresting surroundings
of any track in New England.

Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, foot, inch
Atlanta midget, has served notice
on the field that he will be reck-
oned with in the national tennis

Classy Attack
Grant ran his opponent ragged
with sizzling shots from the base
line. Shields went to the net al
every opportunity in an attempt to
snatch the match from the fire, but
Grants fine lobs and passing shots
were unbeatable.

Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van
Ryn won the doubles championship
by defeating Wilmer Hines, Co.

CREDIT THAW AIDS
P, v, A. J0BS DRIVE
Private Funds Now Seek to
Finance Projects-More
Cash Released.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hundreds Of proposals to finance
major portions of public works prof.
ects with private funds were cited
today by the Public Works Admins
tration as evidence of Nation wide
improvement in municipal credit.
Oficials said that while credit re-
covery was apparent IN all sections
of the country, it was particularly
strong in Washington, Iowa and the
New England States.
Some 500 recipients of P. w. A. loan
and gran. allotments were said to have
been given permission to change over
to q plan under which they take the
grant from the Federal Government
but 60 to private sources .or the loan.
This Is done, ondcials said, because
applicants have been able to obtain
loans from private lending agencies at
an interest rate lower than p. W. A.s
I per cent.
Sieo, ,ooo,ee for Reallotment.
The changes have made possible
an expansion Of the p. w. A. program
by releasing around 500 GOO, 600 for
reallotment to projects on the wait
ing lists.
The changes are being made boti,
under the old P. w. A. program with
its 80 per cent grant and 70 per cent
loan basis and the new with q 45-55
per cent arrangement.
A further indication Of the thawine
Of the private money stream was seen
in the ability of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. to sell bonds taken over
by p. w. A. In financing projects.
Ofiicials said that bonds which were
quoted at go to 10 when p. W. A. re-
ceived them and which had been turn.
ed down by Banks as poor investments
brough par or better when put on
the market by the r. F. G.
To date the sales have brought a
$807,0 profit above the $220, ,000, ,00C
face value of the bonds, it was said
Proceeds are turned into a revolving
fund which P. w. A. can use for ad-
ditional loans.
Competition Is Keen.
Thirty or forty premium offers fol
one block of securities have not been
uncommon, p. w. A. spokesmen as.
serted, and some Of the country's
largest investment houses, banks and
insurance companies have bid against
one another for the bonds.
P. w. A. statisticians asserted that
in the middle of 1888. private lending
had virtually collapsed and almost
every application was for a grant and
q loan. Under the 1929 ,000, 900 pro-
gram set up with money from the
$4,000 10000 work-relief appropria-
tion however, q large proportion Of
applications has been for grants only.
In Massachusetts, every loan and grant
allotment has been converted into q
grant only.
