TWO BIG RACES SET FOR ACAWAM
 TRACK SATURDAY
TwO=Year=Olds in HOlyOke Feature-BubblesOme
 vs High Hedge

Springfield, June 25 - The two outstanding sprint races in the his tory of Agawam Park will be held there tomorrow, with two year olds matching speed and heart in the Holyoke, five furlongs event, and the older hosSes going to bat in the Valley Arena Handicap, a six fur longs sprint.
 The Valley Arena Handicap, for which a handsome cup has been donated by Homer c. Rainault, president of the famous little insti- tuition, has attracted the nominations of seven outstanding sprinters.
 Steve Panarella's Bubblesome, star of the meeting, will try his hand against H. L. Bowers High Hedge, which roared to victory last Satur- day in the feature race, and others in the party will be Miss Ginbar, Bill Bleiweiss. Four Spot, Pass Elm By, and Strategist II.
 Keen Competition
 The best time of the meeting was turned in by Pass Elm By. which twice whirled the six furlongs in 1:12:3. Now the track is slick and fast, and it is a certainty that the fastest time of the meeting will be recorded in the Valley Arena Handicap. when Joseph Greens Pass Elm By hooks up with such stout-hearted sprinters as Bubble some, High Hedge, Miss Ginbar, and the others. It is possible, too, that the track record for the distance Ill, set by Ladf1eld on the day the track first opened-will be erased from the record books.
 The sprint for two year olds has drawn the nomination of 13 geo. whillikens stars, including Arthur Gaignard's Jr's Lafayette Boy, win ner of two consecutive races here; M. Marmonstein's Blue Sheets, which won at a fancy price the other day; M. R. Waugh's Waugh Scout and Waugh Pop; and Mrs. John A. Payne's Lilith.
 There are others in the cast who may smear the dope in several diff ferent directions. They include Lucre Ludo, Shred, Kai Sou, Pick Out, Setemup, No Ending, Sing Low, Parallel, and the fashy Whoa Boy, star of the Sage Stable string and possible favorite in what should

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
George Strief of Old Athletics, Hit Four Triples Off
 Pitcher HarEinS
-BY BRACE E. JARRETT:
June 25, 1885, at Brooklyn

(Four triples have been made in game by one player on two occa- sions only, this being the first time.)
 George Strief, shortstop of the old Philadelphia Athletics, when play ing against Brooklyn in the Amer ican Association, made four triples and double in five times at bat, against Pitcher Harkins.
 This is the only time that four three-baggers have been made by one player in a single game, except when Bill Joyce, of the Giants, duplicated this feat on May l8, 1897, off hurlers Hawley and Gard ner of the Pirates.
 In spite of Striefs great stickwork he having scored four runs himself and having driven in most of the runs made by his team, Philadel- phia lost to Brooklyn q to IA, simply because of the fact that his teammates, as a whole, fell far short of holding up their end at bat against the powerful drive of Joe Dole's lads from Brooklyn.
 Brooklyn made 29 hits off of pitchers Matthews and Coleman, Pinckney leading the terrible on- slaught with hits. Two hits were the least any Brooklynite gathered. Each member of the winning team scored at least once, Pinckney and Phillips leading with five and four runs, respectively.
 NOTE: This combined score of 33 runs has been beaten only once since the present pitching rules have been in effect: when the Cubs defeated the Phillies 26 to g (49 runs between them), on August 25, 1922. The score:

RACES CARDED FOR FIRST DAY OF BIG EVENT
Over 800 Horses Entered in AS Classes of Am-
 nual Show

Ready for what may well prove to be the greatest exhibition yet attempted, Watertown's Riding and Hunt Club presented its eleventh annual horse show this afternoon at the club grounds on Northf1eld road, featuring at least two flat races that should provide more than a fair share of thrills for those in ate tendance. The largest entry list of record, 816 horses has been filed the spirited equines stars being divided into 48 classes with enough com- petitions for the blue ribbons to de- light anyone who has the least lik- ing for the greatest of animals.
 Interesting
 In today's flat races, scheduled for starting at 2:30 o'clock, was Justa Play, owned by Minot Howard, and one of the favoriteS to win the half mile event, while Belude will have Walkedun to beat in the mile and one-quarter number that should turn out to be a real thriller. To- morrow, model hunters and consid- erable competition in children's classes will take place, with Edward, a Canadian horse, named for the former king of England among the prominent entries. Several cham pions of the Madison Square Gar den Show last November will be seen before the three day show closes on Sunday afternoon, many trophies to be awarded on the final day. Hound trials will also be a feature of the show this time.
 The list of officials for the 1887 show include Mayor Frank Hayes, chairman; Miss B. I. Chase, vice. chairman Miss Bernice Hitch- cock, secretary Miss Betty Mer-. riman, assistant secretary Ed ward Carmody, treasurer Jack Prestage and Joseph Woyden, managers of the show and race meet.

THORNTON MEMORIAL RACE NEXT WEEK

The feature race of the 1897 Aga warm Park lseason will be the James c. Thornton Memorial Handicap on Saturday, July B. Conditions are now being framed by racing Secre- tary M. c. "Ty" Shea for a race which will pay honor to the memory of one of the grandest guys that ever lived. Thornton was general manager here last year, and would have been one of the outstanding figures in the racing world had he lived.
 The Christmas Basket Fund of the Boston Evening American will be given considerable aid next Wed- nesday, when an extra race will be here, with the proceeds to be given over to the paper for its annual Christmas charity. On that day, nine races will be held.
 The well-known Larry Dempsey of New York is here with a party of friends. They dropped in on their way back to New York from the Louis-Braddock bout, and are still here.
 Mrs. L. A. Veitch has sold her good three year old gelding, Un- heralded, to Miss Audrey Davies at private terms. Her husband, Sylves- ter Veitch, will continue to train the horse.
 The Saturday card should provide the most brilliant racing in the his- tory of the track, what with five furlong sprint called The Holyoke which is attracting every juvenile star on the grounds, and the Valley Arena Handicap, six furlongs dash that will bring to a head the keen rivalry among aPtsy Begone, High Hedge, and Pass Elm By.
 That voice you may hear over the air every day, describing the races, is the voice of Walter Moriarty, former University of Iowa football star and one of the informed turf experts in the country.

 Limited Press Stan Correspondent

New York, June 25-(UP)-Last winter the fathers of the United States Lawn Tennis association formed an organization for the de- velopment of young players. Simul- taneously with the firing of can- non in New York veteran tennis enthusiasts began the formation of junior Davis cup squads all over the country.
 This reporter was one of the first to enlist. The sound of the cannon hardly had died away before I was on nearby court, swinging my racquet and swearing to cross the water and wrest the cup from the hated foreigners. Dozens of Davis cup hopefuls joined me, and we were cheered by reports that in Dem yer, Baltimor, Kansas City, Los An geles-in fact, in every city in the country-comrades had sprung to arms and were working like beavers with families to support.
 Today, through the mails, came a letter from the chairman of the eastern junior Davis cup commit tee, Roland Mallory, outlining his views on the requirements of Davis cupper. The letter read:
 l. Skill alone doesn't make a tennis first tenner." But couple it with ambition, concentration, good sportsmanship and character, and you will go long way.
 2. The path to tennis glory is rough like all roads to the top, but if you really make up your mind to get there, you will.
 3. Don't lean on alibis. They bend easily. Be known for your abil- ity to take it."
 4. Do not be discouraged by your errors. No match has even been played without them. They are a necessary evil. Forget your mis- takes immediately. About face and go right after your man again!
 5. Don't soften your game in fear of making an error. Have confidence in it.
 6. Don't show by word or act any oA6AA OA AAAAOJSb4ANCs ~ 4ALA yOu dk1u encourages your opponent.
 2. Never fail to have due regard for your appearance and conduct on the court.
 There were several more "hints" but knew after reading No. 2 that my chances of representing the stars and stripes in international combat were damned. My appear ance and conduct on the court is awful. My tennis costume consists of a pair of old striped morning trousers, which have no loops for a belt. This necessitates suspenders, which means that in the heat of battle I need only a beard to double for Uncle Sam.
 My conduct is worse. I always play for money, and when I lose can out-beef any player you ever watched. That suggestion that a player never show by word or act that he is annoyed lets me out. When I miss 8 shot, or my oppo- nent hits one that is too much for me to handle, I go to pieces. I throw my racquet and my voice all over

GASHED EYEBROW GIVES CALLAHAN K.O.

Boston, June 25. (UP)-Andy Cal lahan of Lawrence was in line to- day for a possible crack at Welter- weight Champion Barney Ross fol- lowing his impressive nine-round triumph over Nat Bor of Fall River at National league field last night.
 A bad gash over Bor's left eye forced Referee Joe O'Connor to halt the scheduled 10-round battle in the ninth. Even if the fight had gone the limit, however, Callahan ap- parently would have taken the ver- dict as he was ahead on the points when the battle was stopped.
 Callahan started Bor on the road to defeat in the fourth round when he threw a left at closhe quarters that opened the cut over the Fall River boys eye.

 MAKING STRONG BID FOR PENNANT
GOld=Laden Club on Win ming Streak-Yanks

By LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 25. UP)- Tom Yawkey's Boston Red Sox were trying hard today to shake of their nickname of "goldbricks" with 8 winning spurt that has given them eight wins out of their last nine starts.
 According to Webster, goldbrick is anything purchased as valuable which turns out to be almost or quite valueless."
 Yawkey has spent between $3,- 100000 and $4,000,OOO for pennant winner since 1883, but his Red Sox finishes have been respectively, seventh, fourth, fourth, and sixth. The heir to the $5O,00O,000 lumber and mineral fortune of his foster father, took his team off the gold standard this year, and began look ing for results.
 The Red Sox began auspiciously, winning seven out of the first 10, to lead the league on May 2. Then, they dropped 10 out of the next 13 to seventh place on May g. Break ing about even on the next 20 games, the eBantowners have play ed the best ball in the American league since May IS, losing only one game.
 That started them on six game winning streak in which they bowl ed over Chicago four straight, and took a pair from Cleveland before the Indians stopped them in the second game of double-header last Sunday.
 They've won their last two against the second place Detroit Tigers. It was the Veteran Bob Grove yester- day who shackled the Tigers by scattering nine hits for go shut out. Manager Joe Cronin who cost Yawkey $250,0O0, highest price ever paid for ball-player, did his share with a home run and triple that drove in four runs.
 The victory left them only pair of games behind the Tigers, and five tits behind the leading New York Yankees who yesterday took a 9-6 decision over the St. Louis Browns. A home run by Selkirk in the seventh and another by Dickey with a mate aboard in the eighth, gave the Yanks their three run margin.
 Thornton Lee scattered II hits to Philadelphia batsmen and the Chicago White Sox handed the Athletics their 10th straight defeat, 7-2. The Washington Senators won their fifth in row, slugging three Cleveland pitchers for IA hits and an 8-2 triumph.
 In the National league the lead ing Cubs had to come from behind three times to defeat the New York Giants, 10-5, to protect their one game margin over the St. Louis Cardinals who walloped the Brook lyn Dodgers, 13.3.
 The Boston Bees broke an H. game losing streak by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-6, and the Cincinnanti Reds stopped a late Philadelphia rally to win GA.
