FROM THE PRESS BOX
Drug Store Derby Seen Aiding Science, But
Not Horses Which Have to Take DOPE.

lunch shortly before post time. Here's
one prescription. unearthed by the
scholarly Mr.. Frank Menke:
Full dose so minutes before the
race on hot days and 60 minutes be-
fore the race on cold days--or half a
dose so minutes before and half 20
minutes before"
About two years ago. the drug store
industry was crippled temporarily by
reform crusade. in which the we'll
known saliva test was supposed to
play an important part. But horse
men are fairly unanimous today in
saying that the saliva test is irrele-
want, incompetent. and immaterial.
1t proves a little. but not lot.
Like the butler who stole the
spoons, 1t fails to give uniform
satisfaction.
There was a time, too. when the
G-men of the race tracks expected to
obtain splendid results by the use Of
white mice. The white mouse Is the
fall guy in nearly all scientific expert
Va tlllb klklO. hkdlIlSt Ills
will. the white mouse was injected
with the saliva of allegedly doped
horses. But this didn't prove any
thing except that the white mouse
leads a hard life.
Race tracks are pretty well policed
these days, but the racing fever is so
virulent and the number of tracks in
operation 50 great that it is next to
impossible to shut down completely on
doping and similar cute maneuvers.
The best way to beat the drug store
industry is from the laboratory end
and that Is what the commissioners of
New York racing expect to accomplish
with their cocaine carnival or Drug
Store Derby.
1t will be q step forward for
science, all right. but the big
gest step forward would be to
turn the horses loose and do our
owp running.

efforts to climb back into the
first division, Harris can be thankful
that Washingtons' fate has not rested
100 per cent upon what his first-string
pitchers have done. It Is significant
that Pete Appleton was named to do
the Griffs' pitching today and that
Monte Weaver will work tomorrow,
with the possibility of Joe Cascarella
swinging back into action in one of
games on Sunday. What progress the
Griffs have been able to make within
the last month chiefly has been due
to this trio.
Going back to July IS and bringing
the records up to date, Washington s

out of five. The total victories for
this trio. then, has been only three
as against an aggregate of 13 set
backs.
Thus it Is little wonder that Bucky
is counting more and more on his
second-stringers. Appleton today was
cunning for his third win in a row,
having pitched two great games since
July Is. Cascarella has won three
Of his last five games and Weaver.

two losing efforts, has broken even in

Bolton, the regular backstop who sus-

the soreness is leaving his finger and
that he Is able to bat and throw

Bolton reported to the Griffs in
New York, but after workout it
became evident that he must work
himself back into shape. Unable to
handle ball with his finger broken.
