C. ROSE PROVES RIDING STAR OF
 ACAWAM MEET
Vet Jockey Got $727.5O for Weeks Work; Ex.
 pect 30,00O Monday

Springfield, July 3 --- One of the chief features of Mondays holiday program at Agawam Park is ex- pected to be the riding of Georgie Rose of Minneapolis, smiling little knight of the saddle who has been riding into the wars for il years.
 This morning, as result of one of the most sensational bursts of riding in the history of the turf, Rose collected @ check for $727.50 from book-keeper P. E. Michael of Agawam Park, and 1t stands out as the greatest money-w winning achieve ment of the season.
 That money represented h!s ef- forts of one week in tn esaddie, dur ing which he rode nine winners and flogged his way to the leadership in the jockey colony. He rode such handicap winners as Pass Elm By, Dian, Riding High, Fairest Flag, and Crop, to pile up winning to the amazing amount of $727.50, the greatest total ever collected by a jockey 10 ra weeks work here.
 And, as some baseball umpire of song and story once remarked con- cerning his own life you can't beat the hours.
 As Agawam goes into It's last week of racing, Rose Is still fighting Al Schmidt for top honors, but the manner in which he is riding indi- cates that he will win the honors for the 1897 season.
 Big Race Ahead
 The racing should reach new heights during the approaching week, and the meet will come to @ crashing climax on Saturday with the running of the Berkshire Han dicap for 6 purse of $2,600.
 It will be the most expensive race staged here since the year the track opened, and Is an indication of the prosperity which has come the way of the picture postcard track in the lap of the Berkshires. The race is expected to draw star thoroughbreds from New York, Rockingham, and Chicago to contest with Pass Elm By, Bubblesome, High Hedge, and the other sprinters quartered here since the meeting began.
 The handle will pass the four mil- lion dollar mark on Monday, when e crowd of 30,o00 is expected to watch the running of the 1ndepend- ence Day Handicap, and when the meeting ends next Saturday, im- portant money, somewhere in the vicinity of five million dollars, will have been wagered.

as Bill Tilden said that Germany with von Cramm in charge, would defeat our side. Bill wouldn't say that today. Not after what Budge did to the stylish baron with the fluent strokes, When Don and won Cramm took the court yesterday the German was the No. amateur in the world. He left 1t to the No. 2 player. Budge now is the ranking player of the game, and if you will look back through the Davis cup files you will find that nations win the cup and retain the cup only when they have the No. player on their side. The U. s. was all right when 1t had Tilden. France was all conquering when Lacoste and Cochet were on top. England won the cup when Perry ruled the world Now, with Budge supreme the United States will surge again.
 If Germany is Americas oppnent in the interzone final our team should lose no more than one match. Budge can take von Cramln and Henner Henkel in singles. Frankie Parker or Bryan Grant-and 1t doesn't matter much which one of the boys is Ilarned-will lose to the baron and take Henkel. Tn doubles Budge and Gene Mako proved yes- terday they are masters of the Ger mans by licking them in five sets.
 Germany undoubtedly will gain the interzone final over Czechoslo- vakia. Roderick Menzel, the giant fellow who is the mainstay of the Czech team, Is sadly of his game, as was proved when he lost in the early rounds ct Wimbledon. The Czech doubles team of Menzel and Ladislau Hecht has lost it's power, Q fact that was shown by its straight set defeat ct the hands of the Brit Is pair, Pat Hughes and c. D. R. Tuckey.
 Todays play will give a line on how the United States will fare with England. when and if they meet in the challenge round. For one of the matches on todays pro- gram is the doubles final between Mako and Budge and Hughes and Tuckey, England's cup pair. Mako and Budge should win. Hughes, never Q really great player, is years past his prime, and Tuckey Is high ly cratic.
 If were c bookmaker would lay even money that the United States wins the cup this year.

 New York, July 3--(UP)-On the most hallowed patch of green grass in the world--the center court at Wimbledon several hannel-trous- cred young men yesterday gave us most of the answers to the 1887 Davis cup riddle.
 After assembling the anwers, and digesting the information they con- tained, one can hardly reach but one conclusion the Davis cup is headed back for the United States after a ten-year visit to France and England.
 The most Illuminating answer came in Donald J. Budge's straight set victory over Baron Gottfried von Cramm of Germany in the final round of the mems singles cham pionship. When our, cup forces sailed for England 1t was pretty gem erally agreed that the major barrier in It's path to the cup was the Ger man team. If Germany could be hurdled England, with Perry gone, would be easy. So said the experts.
 But the experts feared Germany. Even such an astute tennis critic

Another important game, which will have @ distinct bearing on the championship as decided in the City Amateur league IS to take place to- morrow afternoon at Hamilton Park when the North End Thomas Club and Tribune A. o. come to bat in the feature game of the usual trio of contests arranged.

 Another new angle to the games Sunday is that concerning the ufr1s pires, with at least two new men to work, following the appointment of John "Skiddo" Dumschott last evening, by President Ed Fitzpatrick, with the chance that another new man may be named before game time tomorrow, replacing Leno Coss taldo and Dick Tuckey, Bill Stanton having been chosen last week to replace Arnold Polancer who quit the league,
 Latest rumor has 1t that the Trts bunes are set to make q real solid bid for the game against the Thom- as Club, which if won, will put the league leadership in the possession of two teams with three team rush down the stretch for the title. The Hearts are expected to show Q new pitcher tomorrow having lost Jablonowski through illness while win for the Thomas Club will keep the precious full game advant- age they now enjoy, irrespective of the protested game against ths Sacred Hearts which is yet to bs decided.

Horse Whispers From Agawam

A record breaking crowd is ex- pected at Agawam park Monday, for the running of the Independence day handicap. As early as last Fri- day, box seats were at @ premium, and indications are that every box seat and every reserved seat will be sold out hours in advance. It will be the greatest day in the history of Agawam park, and the weather man promises to cooperate.
 The Agawam park 1897 meeting will come to an end next Saturday. The success of the track this year has been so great that @ $2,500 purse will be given for the Berkshire handicap, closing day feature. It will be the largest purse offered here since the year the track opened, and the sprint title will be settled, for the race si to be run at six fur longs. It Is expected that star sprinters will be shipped here from all over the East for the event, but they'll all have to beat Joseph Greens Pass Elm By, which seems ready and able to meet all corners.
 De Witt Page, owner of Moemore farms, famous racing establish ment, is a visiter here, and is deeply impressed with the beauty of the track. P. s. P. Randolph, who shipped Lost Friend to Rockingham for stake engagement, shipped him right back again, and will run him in the $l,200 Independence day handicp on Monday. Joe Gorga, too, shipped Marson and Wise Will from Rockingham. He started Mar son In the Thornton memorial ham, dicap Saturday, and has nominated Wise Will for the Independence day cap.
 Atlanto, a thoroughbred which was shipped here all the way from Chilo, was to make his first start of the meeting on the Saturday card. He will be ridden by Jockey E. Asjono, accounted one of the most capable jockeys produced in Chile in the past decade. Those two Chilean horses which tipped over the New York books @ week ago by winning at Aqueduct park are said to have been trained here secretly, and there was no end of curiosity and no lit- tie laying of surreptitious deuces on the nose of Atlanto, just in case.
 The mutuel handle will go well over the $4,000,000 mark on Monday, and may hit $6,000,0 900 before Donald Hay, mutuel manager, heads for other parts. Apparently, Al Schmidt and George Rose are goining to fight 1t out right down the finish line. They were tied filth g win- ners each when the Friday racing started, and you'll see some frantic riding on their parts in the closing week

Brooklyn Dodgers, Danbury Trojans
 Have Agreemen ent

The Brooklyn Dodgers football club, member of the National Pro- fessional League, announced today that c working agreement had been reached with Jack Thompson, presi- dent of the Danbury's Trojans, this season. The Dodgers will ship play CTS to the Trojans who have need of further seasoning.
 The Trojans will open their 1887 season against the Dodgers in Dam bury September lst. It will be re- called that these outfits met last year and the Dodgers won out by a ' to o score only after a bitter battle.
 A change has been made in Brooklyn's coaching personnel George "Potsy" Clark, form er coach of the now defunked Ports mouth Spartans and later of the Detroit Lions has succeeded Paul Schissler as head coach. Potsy when with Detroit and Portsmouth, developed many National League aggregations and is rated as the country's leading gridiron mentor by his contemporaries.
 While the Dodgers have retained Ralph Kercheval, Joe Manaici, Dick Crayne, Red Franklin, Pop Lump kin, Bill Lee and several other of last seasons stars, the majority ot the squad will be composed of last years collegiate stars. Many of the players who are taken to camp will be left in Danbury following the game. The acquisition of players, who are highly superior to the aver age minor league gridder. will un- doubtedly bolster the Trojans to c championship contingent.

 Roosevelt Raceway, Westbury, N Y, July 3 3- (UP) - Thirty of the worlds ace automobile racers waited for 6 signal from President Roosevelt today to send them of on Q 300-mile dash for the richest prize in the history of automobile racing-$70,000.
 At 2:15 p. m. EDT, the president will touch c button in his Hyde Park, N. F., home that will explode the starting bomb for the second annual Vanderbilt Cup race-90 laps around this 3 1-3 mile course.
 The bulk of the prize money probably will find It's way into the pockets of the European entrants whose latest road racing machines far outclasS any of the Americans cars. Only those U. S. drivers pilot ing foreign make cars were given a chance. But the big-time American racers refused to enter until @ spe- cial ei0,000 prize had been put up for them.
 The big obstacles to an American triumph were the Germand Auto Onion and Mercedes Benz teams, and the Italian Alfa Romeo squad. Tazio Nuvolari. who walked away with the race in his Alfa last year, is back with Giuseppe Farina. His main opposition was expected from Bernd Rosemery and Ernst Delius with their 400-horsepower, rear engined Auto Unions and Rudolf Caracciola and Dick Seaman in their scarlet Mercedes.
 The foreigners nonopolized quail flying tonors with only Rex Mays, 21-year Californian, managing to aain . place in the first two rows Of starters. Driving an eight cylin- der Aifa Romeo Mays turned in the third best qualifying time of 84.054 Nsailas Der hour. Caracciola, the Ger unSAs with the Italian name who has Won every Grand Prix in Europe during his career, won the pole ~3Eh a trial speed of 86.850 m. p. h., snd Rosemeyer, the "Rhineland @ncket." who won six out of seven 6rand Prix last year, earned the 5nifIio place in the front row with z mark of e4.370.
 eecond of the three-car, ten-row lIneup is solid European. Delius was lIs the third trio with two Ameri- eans. Billy Vim of Detroit and Ted Horn of Los Angeles. Last for eiRner in the procession was Eugcn BIornstad of Norway who finished }n the seventh row with an average of 77.i64. All but two of the 30 com pIeted qualifying last night.
 A possible American threat may be wilbur Shaw, 1887 winner Of the 600-miie Indianapolis classic. Shaw did not have Q car worthy of running until yesterday, when Enzo Fiermonte offered him his new Maserti.
 Only chance for most of the American brigade was that they can negotiate the turns faster to offset Ehe Europeans blazing speed of iS0 to ioi m. p. h. on the straightaway.
 The straiglitawayS have been al- Aiost doubled in length. There are 1Wo stretches of nearly 4 miles. The Alrn bringing the cars into tl1s main straightaway has been re- built with . l3-foot, 07 per cent IiIaxiluun bank which insyreg ,a

CUBS GIANTS MAKING AWAY
 RACE FOR TOP
Galan's Homer Won for Chicago-Yanks Lose
 to Washington
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, July 3. - (UP) With the Cubs knocking off the contend CTS and the Giants getting fat on the second division clubs, the Na- tional League race settled into c two-horse race today between Chi- cago and New York.
 Only half c game separated the two leaders. For four days the Giants have been ell set to move into the lead only to get belated returns from the west that the Cubs had won again.
 Again yesterday the Giants won over the Bees, 6-2, when the score- board showed the Cubs going into the eighth inning trailing the Pie rates, 7.4. The Cubs picked up two runs in the eighth, and then tri- umphed with one out in the ninth when Augie dalan hit 6 homer with c mate aboard to bring the Bruins from behind to win their fourth straight, 8-7.
 It was the eighth Chicago homer in four days, all of them vital punches. Tuesday Billy Herman hit homer with the bases loaded against the Cards. The next day 0abby Hartnett and Augie 0alan hit homers. Thursday Rip Collins hit one with two on against St. Louis. Yesterday Hartnett and 0alan came through in the clutch with circuit cloutS.
 The Bees brought c six-game win- ming streak to twon with them, but Rink Carl Hubbell cooled them off with 6 Seven-hit pitching perform ance 10 rhis iith triumph. Chiozza and Mancuso made three hits each in the Giants i3-hit attack on MacFayden and Hutchinson.
 Luke Hamlin pitched his third straight triumph holding the Phils to seven hits as Brooklyn broke c four-game losing streak, 80.
 Washington beat New York, 0.3, and became the first club in the American League to hold an edge over the Yanks. The Senators have won three out of five games against the champs. Carl Fischer and Ed Linke combined to hold the Tanks to six hits.
 Ben ChapmanS first homer of the season with two on featured the Boston Red sox e.4 victory over the Athletics. Scoring three runs in the eighth, the St. Louis Browns beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-2, and moved out of the cellar aS the As dropped back in the No. 6 slot.
 No other games were played.
 YESTERDAYS HERO; August John 0alAn came to bat in the ninth with one out, one on and the Cubs trailing Pittsburgh by one run and shelled out . homer which kept Chicago in first place.

(This is the best duel between two pitchers ever fought on July 3
 July 3, 1913, at Boston

Walter Johnson and Ray Collins engaged in a thrilling pitchers duel, the Big Train" winning out in the 18th inning, to 0, when Collins allowed the Senators to bunch two doubles.
 The Red Sox outhit Washington IS to 9, but Johnson seemed to pitch superhuman ball whenever one of the Sox was within hailing distance of the plate.
 The 9th inning was an example of this: With no one out, Harry Hooper, Iris Speaker, and Duffy Lewis (some trio) were on base, as the result of two infield hits and the only base on balls that Johnson issued. It is hard to imagine e sit- uation more disconcerting to Q pitcher than this, but 1t only made Johnson realize that he must now extend himself. He struck out Gard ner, caused Engle to force Hooper at home on a weak grounder to Me- Bride, and made Wagner tap to Foster, who caught Speaker at the plate. To force runners like Hooper mad Speaker at home in spot like
