COMEBACK TRY
FOR Ell LAGARTO

BOLTON LANDING, N. Y, Aug.
27.-The grandmother of all speed
boats is going to make a come
back. Ell Lagarto, owned by George
c. Refs, mayor of this village, has
entered the thirty-fourth running
Of Americas blue ribbon motor
boat fixture, the Gold Cup race,
at Detroit, Labor Day.
ReiS's famous "leaping lizard"
has won the classic three times
the only speedboat to win three
legs in a row-in her Is years
of competition. Ell Lagarto will
leave her boathouse cradle next
week to make the journey by
trailer.
Ell Lagarto's last appearance
was In the Presidents Cup race
at Washington, where she collided
with Notre Dame. The hydroplane
was so severely damaged it was
thought she could never be re-
built sufficiently to match speed
with the younger boats.
Refs has replaced her crushed
stern in its entirety. A little lip
stick (paint and varnish) has
spruced up "Lizzie's" appearance
and the old planks have given
way to new. FL Lagarto is said
to be faster than ever and may
yet beat the cream Of American
powerboats and the three fastest
12-liter European boats entered in
the race,

STOCK MARKET
WOBBLY ATT Err
RECENT BREAK

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 UN.S).
The stock market today developed
an irregular recovery after yester-
days break.
Federal intervention, to prevent
the threatened railroad strike was
greeted with relief in Wall Street,
but fell flat as an influence on
rail shares. Chesapeake and Ohio
and Southern Pacific hit new lows
and several other rails were down.
Atchison and New York Central
bucked the trend with fractional
gains.
Steels were moderately higher
at the start, but slipped some
later. Youngstown, UP a point,
scored the largest gain. Slight
gains were shown by Chrysler and
General Motors in light dealings.
Leading oils like Standard of New
Jersey, Texas and Socony lost
ground.
Most of the utilities were better,
North American rising nearly a
point. CopperS gained up to a
point In Phelps Dodge, but Ameri-
can Smelling was a laggard.
Rubbers and amuSementS were
mixed and aviations higher. Deere
rose a point in the farm nipple
mentS. Dupont dropped a point
and Allied Chemical rose as much
in the chemicals.
United States Gypsum was a
weak spot, falling over 3 points,
but other building shares were
Steadier.

.cC Y
AT THE RACES

Want a very.very future tip on
a good horse? Okeh, watch for
him at Bay Meadows and Tan
foran this fall-and maybe you'll
still be following him successfully
at Santa Anita next winter. The
name is Sobriety. He was a stable
and workmate of Discovery when
young Alfred Vanderbilt's Big
Blonde was packing a ton of
weight every time he started.
Sobriety is now in the hands OF
the wizard horseman, Earl Beezley,
and setting Far Western tracks
afire under tall weights. Pacific
Coast horsemen have him spotted
as the next SeabiScuit.
Beezley, like Tom (Seabiscuit)
Smith, learned most Of his boss
training from Charley Cowboy
Irwin, who was champion race
winning trainer of the entire coun-
try about 10 years ago. Beezley,
incidentally, claimed the cele-
brated Blue Boot at Kansas City'S
Riverside track about year ago,
unaware that he was taking on a
ringer" Blue Boots moniker was
Exclude, and when it was diScov-
cred quite a few horsemen were
ruled off the turf. Not Beezley,
however; he was acquitted OF haV-
ing any part in the deception.
st. Louis patrons of Paramount
Park-in CollinSville Qll0, just
across OF Man River-will use a
new four-lane highway to the
track.
Wonder how many who pirate Of
Seabiscuit's giving Caballero II
% pounds in the weights, when
defeating him in the so grand
Massachusetts Handicap, are
aware that the ex-Chilean racer
is scarcely a 4-year-old! Horses
do not have official birthdays in
South America until August /.
instead of our January /. So,
Cabellero II . labeled a 4-year-old

was not a 4-year-old (even techni-
cally) in Chile until the recent
August !. Chances are that he
was not foaled until September,
or October, of 1888. The Hirsch
Jacobs racer may, when fully
matured, take a lot of beating
at level weights-from SeabiScuit
or any other equine.
Jack Adler recalls the first time
Phil Chinn ever saw New York,
His famous dad, Col. Jack Chinn,
