Brooklyn Dizziness?

TERRY isn't the only National
League manager who is being
made to look bad right now. Last
March Casey Stengel Of the Dodgers
decided that 24-year-old Walter Mil
lies was not good enough for his club.
SO he sold him to Clark Grifith for
$1,000.
Maybe MiIIies isn't good
enough for Brooklyn. but II he
isn't, then Casey's club Is much
better than Bucky Harris, for
Walter currently is one Of the
greatest assets among the Ma
ti0nalS.
Griffith and Harris knew little of
Miles when the Washington club
bought him. They suspected that
Walter wasn't much because, in the
first place, Stengel had no trouble
having him waived out of the Ma
tional League, and in the second place
5000 potatoes is dirt cheap price
for a big g-league backstop. But at the
time of his purchase the hue and
cry concerning the inability Of the
Washington catching staff was In full
voice and the swivel-chair brigade of
the Nationals had to do something
about it.
Up until a few days ago the
Nationals still didn't know much
about MilIies. He played in =
few games-elght TO be exact
and handled the pitchers we'll,
in addition to compiling . .3oS
batting average.
But he really wasn't put to suffi-
cient test to pass judgment. Now it
looks as though Griff picked up a
good little catcher and a tricky hitter
in Walter.

CROWN A SNUG FIT
ON BOLD VENTURE
Derby and PreaknesS Champ
Seeks More Honors in
Belmont Natural
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

By OhLO hObkhl sun,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
n YEW YORK. May l8-Bold Ven
ture. winner of the Kentucky
" Derby and the Preakness. has
L proved his right to wear the
3-year- -old crown.
Like a true champion. the chestnut
flyer from Morton L. Schwartz's New
York stable has shown he can run
in front or come from behind and
still be on top at the judges stand.
He was a front-running colt when
he beat J. E. Widener's Brevity in
the Derby. In the Preakness he came
from the rear with dramatic stretch
drive to whip William Woodward's
Granville by a nose.
Bold Ventures margins Of victory
were so narrow, however, that there
are many who still declare Brevity
would have won the Derby had he
not been roughed at the start, or that
Granville would have taken the Freak
ness if Jimmy Stout had saved his
mount on the backstretch and not
gone wide at the final turn.
Belmont Race Natural.
p EGARDLESS of the arguments,
the outcome of the famous Ken
lucky and Maryland classics turned
the $4,000 Belmont Stakes into
natural, which should draw one Of the
largest crowds in New York turf his

mile-and-one- half race will find
three colts, plus Mrs. c. v. Whitney's
Red Rain, matching strides for the
first time this year. Granville was in
the Derby, but never got chance
after tossing his rider at the start.
Already q member of that select
group of five horses which have won
both the Derby and Preakness, Bold
Venture will be seeking an even more
coveted honor in the Belmont. Only
three horses, Sir Barton. Gallant Fox
and Omaha, have won the American
triple" Burgoo King was successful
in the Derby and Preakness, but did
not start in the Belmont.
The added distance of the Belmont
should make little difference to either
of the big three for each has indi-
Gated he can go the route. Bold
Venture ran the IA miles of the
Derby in the third fastest time in
history, 2:O33s, with Brevity closing
strong. In the Preakness the Schwartz
colt stepped the mile and three-sx-
teenths in 1859, a time beaten only
by Omaha and High Quest. and was
going strong at the end, with Gran
vile only a nod away.

Barnett, Master of Pitc9, Shot,
Develops Delicate Golf Game
On Wind.S,uept Florida Links

64 blows has done considerable
whacking. But one 81 is nothing
in the life of determined Bob Bar
nett. He has had a half dozen Of
them and probab bly, some day will get
the puts rolling on that rugged lay
out and knock out score better than
64-perhaps a 81 or better. which
would be quite a piece of golf against
that par of SO.
Bob holds down two of the better
professional jobs in this country.
Chevy Chase itself is a fine post for
any pro, but in addition he has one
of the blue-ribbon berths in the
South.
Along about December l or later
each year Bob packs up flock of
golf clubs, jumps into his car and
heads for Florida. where for about
five years he has been the pro at the
exclusive and ritzy Indian Creek
Country Club, one of the better lay
outs In the South.
Gets Pitching Skill In South.
LIE HAS played the course several
times below 10, and when you
say that you have said 1t all. Never
day goes by that the wind doesn't
blow half gale off the Atlantic down
there, and naturally under such con-
ditions a fellow cannot hit all the
green's all the time. That's where
Bob's wixardry with the pitching irons
comes in and that is why he has de-
veloped into one of the really great
masters of the shorter pitching tools.
For determination, sheer grit and
stick-to-it-iveness you could 60 a
long way and not find a golfer the
equal of the Chevy Chase red-head.
Bob was the last real holdout
around Washington for wooden shafts
in golf clubs. Years after most of
the field had gone over to steel all
along the line Bob went along stick
ing to wooden shafts. Last Winter he
fell In line and although wood re-
mains his real love he has a kit
crammed with steel-shafted clubs
which he will take with him to Bal

Eds Flop Blow to Griffs.

WITHOUT much doubt, Linke'S al
I'' most complete failure as
pitcher this season has hurt the Ma
tionals more than any single item,
including Capt. Buddy Myers disap-
pointing start, Earl Whitehill's tardi-
ness in rounding into shape, and such
minor sore spots as come to mind.
Regarded in official preseason plans
as the No. Washington pitcher be-
hind Buck Newsom, the roly-poly Chi
cago youngster has failed to flash any,
thing to disturb the probably rapidly

Perhaps the SuddenneSs Of Linke's
failure has magnified the disappoint-
ment he has wrought, although this
Is giving him the benefit OF the doubt.
When the Nationals we're in st. Louis
a couple of days ago and Rogers
Hornsby and Harris put their heads
together regarding a possible deal.
Linke was one of the Nationals on the
list Hornsby made out, with the excep-
ton that he was not interested.
g, But back in the Spring, when Eds
record of having won eight games in
o row at the close of the previous sea-
son was weighed, it was pretty good
reason to bank on the fellow. Now,
with Linke apparently nowhere near

THIS sort of record makes for ex-
asperation for, with any decent
and consistent pitching, the Nationals
might well be fighting it out in the
first division. Yesterday, for example,
they had temporary lease on fourth
place all locked up. If Washington
had beaten the Tigers. as it should
have done, before 10000 natives, it
would have taken over niche among
the first four, supplanting the De-
troits.

four runs in the second to 60 ahead
In the third inning the Griffs scored
another pair when Red Kress socked
a homer with Travis on the bases,
making it 6-3.
The Griffs held their lead until the
seventh, although Detroit had made
1t Ga in their half of the third frame.
Then, in the seventh, Detroit, tied
at SIS.
Russell, who had outpitched Sulli-
van and Roxie Lawson, seemed certain
OF victory when the Griffs. after using
Johnny Stone as a pinch-hitter for
Jack, pushed across a run in the ninth
to make 1t 7-6. Stone walked to open

Can't Whip Tough Teams.

THAT the Nationals are in sixth
- place is something at which to
marvel, at that. From only two slab
men-Newsom and Jimmy De Shong
are they getting consistently good
pitching. From only a few hitterS-
Buddy Lewis, Walter Millies. Cliff Boil
ton, Red KresS, Johnny Stone, and
lately Joe Kuhel-are they getting
any kind of offensive power. Myer
has been the biggest disappointment
to date in this respect, while Cecil
Travis has failed utterly to strike his
real stride at bat.
Viewing it from this angle it might
be difficult to find fault with the way
the Griffs have performed except for
the fact that only against the def
nitely weaker clubs is the Washington
club effective. Against the teams
picked unanimously for the second
division-Chicago st. Louis and Phil
adelphia-the Griffs have been hot
stuff. generally speaking. They've
dropped three decisions in as many
games to the White Sox. but they still
have won of II games from this
trio. 1t has been against the Yam
KEGS, Red Sox, Indians and Tigers
that Washington has been woefully
unimpressive.
True, they've gained an even break
20 date with Detroit, winning two of
four games, but Cleveland has taken
three in row, Boston has won four
OF seven, and the Yanks have grabbed
four Of six. The total. then, has been
only seven of 20 games won from the
first-division choices.

Outlook Favorable With Public

The outlook in New York State is
Exceedingly favorable" to the Re-
publicans in this years election. in
the opinion of Representative Wads-
worth of that State. In a letter to
James G. Wilkes, chairman OF the Re-
publican State Central Committee for
the District of Columbia, he summed
up his view of the political situation
In the Empire State as follows:
THE intensity Of interest in up
State New York is something I have
never seen equalled in my political
experience. The Republican meetings
held thus far are breaking all known
records in the matter of attendance.
Thousands Of people who have never
attended such affairs are coming to
them. A very considerable number
and declaring their intention openly
Of voting for Landon."
After expressing the belief that
there ALSO are a considerable number
Of Democrats in the State opposed to
the New Deal, WadswortR continued:
"As for the Republicans, there are
no factional differences among them.
I have never seen the party so thor
oughly united as it Is in upstate New
York. This Is true in the industrial
centers, such as Buffalo, Syracuse
and Utica as well as In the rural coun-
ties. I am convinced that We shall
break all records in the matter of ma
jorities. If Roosevelt is to carry New
York State he must beat all known
records in Greater New York City.
This, I am convinced, he cannot do"

CHICAGO, September ia 10 per
cent wage increase, to be taken out OF
profits of the prevailing business Up
turn, was demanded today by two
groups Of employees Of the Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corp, subsidiary Of
United States Steel.
Speaking through the General and
Wage Committee Of their employe

Ohio. said the company could afford
to give them q 10 per cent wage boost
and have $7,5o0,000 profit left over
If the demand for steel was as great
In the last six months Of 1885 as in
the first half Of the year.
In Answer to Letter.
The two demands came in answer
to letter last week in which B. r.
Fairless, president of Carnegie Illinois.
said wages could not be increased at
this time.
Fourteen thousand men were rep
resented in the south Chicago de-
mand, in which the smaller Ohio group
concurred.
Accepting Fairless' contention that
q 10 per cent pay raise would CON
sumo ALL the $l6,238,727 profit an
nounced for the first half Of 1886, the
South Chicago Committee replied: "On
the other hand, If the profits for the
second six months can be assumed to
be as good, the annual profits
will be little over $32, 100000 This,
the workers said, would cover 10 per
cent pay raise with $7,500, 900 to spare.
Higher Prices Cited.
That steel production would run as
high from July to December as from
January to July was evident, the COM
mittee asserted, in recent announce
ments of higher prices for steel prod
ucts.
The Employe Representation Com
mittee asked a meeting with Fairless
