biscuit R A C E
Wit H ADMIRAL
S E E N Definite.
BY LOU BINDMAN

NEW YORK, June II 0N.S) .
If you will accept the word Of
Trainer Tom Smith, Seabiscuit
amt a'feared of any horse ina
he's a'goin' to start definitely In
the $4,000 added money as
sachusetts Handicap at Suffolk
Downs on June 20 - the race
which he won last year in record
time.
Smith made this unequivocal
declaration at the Boston track
and this despite the fact that the
Biscuit" is reported as still hav
ing a puffineSs about his affected
knee (which forced cancellation
Of the Belmont match race with
War AdmiraD and has shown
shortening in stride.
FACES EN- ALL
But Trainer Smith says Sea-
biscuit will start. and oppose any
and all horses, including War Ad-
miral.
If this stellar pair actually lines
up at the barrier, it will mean
that Suffolk Downs will finally
have landed with a minimum of
effort the much coveted meeting
between them, for which Califor-
mia, Illinois and New York en-
gagged in spirited bidding earlier
this year, filling the air with Of
ferS ranging into the 500, 900 class
for race embracing just the two.
Conversely, the Massachusetts,
Handicap will include some of the
other outstanding handicap racers
in the country, assuring tougher
and more highly competitive con-
test.
NOT DODGING ISSUE
Disavowing any intention Of
ducking a meeting with the Ad-
miral, Smith AYERS:
Nothing will please us better
than If Mr.. Riddle does enter
War Admiral. We have never
lodged the issue. Naturally we
believe SeabiScuit is the best
horse in the country. If there
is a better one than SeabiscIlit
we will doff our hats to him"
War Admiral and his handlers
appear ready and willing to dis
pute the issue. The Admiral ar
rived at Suffolk Downs last Tues
day under the Watchful eye of
Trainer George Conway who set
about painstakingly tuning the
champion up for the big special.

Furr Sees Abrams EQsv
Foe in Stadium Fiqht|
Phil Confident
He Will Kdyo
Youngster
BY BOB ADDIE

Mr.. Philip Furr arrived here
this morning, took a healthy snort
through his Dashed beeZer and
promptly announced he would
scramble Mr.. George Abrams like
an omelette when the boys meet
at Griffith Stadium next Monday
night.
Philip was WaShington'S chief
claim to fistic fame for a long
time. He fought the ex-welter-
weight champion, Barney Ross,
before Barney tried to stop thun-
derbolts with his chin. Having no
more fields to conquer. Furr went
out to see the country and piled
his trade en- route.
FAME FORGOTTEN
He fought Cerefino Garcia. Co.
Goa Kid, Leonard Del Genio and
other hard apples in his division
But Washington knew him no
more. Furr was a favorite on the
West Coast and he carried the
toga of a batter from the District
of Columbia with honor and sue
cess.
| But Phil is a dead duck IN these
parts now. A young upStart named
Abrams has stolen his glory. The
sands of time run swiftly and men,
ories are as permanent as the rip
Piles made by a stone in the water.
Furrs name is almost forgotten
here and the pendulum of popu-
larity has swung over to Abrams.
You can't say Fur is fighting
Abrams strictly for glory or honor.
When your face has been an um-
brella for a rain Of leather for
years you discount the importance
of such ephemeral things. Fur Is
fighting Abrams for the money n
it and because he thinks Abrams
is a youngster who has been rushed
along too fast.
FAMILIAR WORDS
AS Phil sees it, George win he
one of the easiest bouts he has
ever had.
Can Abrams punch like Gar
cia?" Fur asks. You must admit
Abrams can't. Yet, speaking to
Furr, you get the idea he's nettled
because his moment of tawdry
glory is past. The other boxers
in the gym no longer stand re-
spectfully aside when he goes
through his chores. Furr, they
feel, has done as much as he'll
ever do and gone as far as his
limited talents permit. That's what
angerS Phil.
He thinks George is a bum. But
those are familiar words. If we're
not mistaken, Ray Arcel, trainer
of Teddy Yarosz, told us con-
temptuously: IF Yarosz can't lick
that kid, Teddy oughta quit"
But Yarosz didn't lick the kid,
and there won't be many doing
it. Furr has the punch, but
Abrams has the speed and his
head coordinates with his body.
George is a smart fighter - he
hasn't been turned out of any mold
like a doughnut. He capitaliZes
on flaws. =.
In New York, where Furr did
most of his training for this bout,
Phil spared with Tony Ciaccio,
the Pennsylvania who lost a dis
puted decision to Abrams this
spring.

NOT YET THROUGH

On the Zachary. Crowder, Cos

Mel Almada has every reason to
believe that he isn't yet through
in Washington.
There have been other Incl
dences Of Washington experienc-
ing a change of heart on players
it had cut adrift, its very man
ager at the moment being among
tHem, as are Buddy Myer and q
fellow now gone, Bump Hadley.
Bucky Harris, the boy wonder
OF 1924, who had won Washington
its first pennant, was released
four years later, catching on with
Detroit as its pilot.
When Joe Cronin was sold to
the Boston Red Sox for the record
price Of $250,000 in the fall of
1884, Griff, casting about for .
manager to replace Cronin. was
glad to pick up Harris and again
install him at the head of his
playing forces.
Buddy Myer, who has weathered
a good many years in Washington,
was Shunted off to Boston in the
midst OF the 1927 season for one
Elmer Rigney who exploded in our
very faces. During the winter of
1928 Griff was so anxious to get
Buddy back he gave up five play
ers for him, nearly including Joe
Cronin in the lot.
Bump Hadley, the next and last
exhibit in this discourse, left here
Tor Chicago in December, 1881, but
bounced back in January, 1885.
So Mel Almada, and even Buck
NewSom, may yet climb back into
Washington uniforms.

HISTORY SHOWS
TRADED GRIFFS
ALWAYS RETURN
BY KIRK MILLER

Mel Almada, Washingtons erst.
while Mexican athlete, doesn't like
to leave the pleasant, easy-going
surroundings Of the Washington
ball club, a plant that has been
quite common with players who
have gone hence from the Griffith
household.
But Mel may find some consola.
ton in the fact that his leave.
taking from washington may not
be permanent, particularly in
view of the fact that his latest
destination is the st. Louis Browns.
1t is a matter Of record that few
players traded by Clark Griffith
to the st. Louis club in particular.
have failed to sooner or later
bounce back into the Washington
fold.
BOOMERANGS
This has also been true of sev-
eral athletes who have gone to
other clubs, only to return sooner
or later to Washington, but some.
how fate has ordained that no few
Of them who have gone to the
Browns have subsequently relo-
Gated the local roost.
Almada doesn't have to look any
further than the case of Sammy
West, whom he displaceS at st,
Louis, to catch the general drift
Of Westinghouse. Louis trade
and how they eventually boom
erang. West went from Washing
ton to st. Louis in 1882.
It was almost a dozen years ago
that Uncle Clark Griffith started
his habit of taking q second look
at players he had previously
found Of little or no use to his
club.
He had let or Tom Zachary
slide out to the Browns for the
1925 season, but in the middle of
1927 had a chance to bring him
back, an opportunity he embraced
with guSto.
Then there was the case of Alvin
Crowder which interlocked with
that Of Zachary. Crowder came
up in 1925 and it was he who
was sent to st. Louis to fetch back
the great nothing ball" pitcher,
Zachary.

The Stars and Stripes was un-
known prior to the resolution Of
Congress, June IA, 1777. No rec
ord of it's use prior to that date has
ever been found.
The design was probably taken
from the flag Of the East India Co.
1600), 13 alternate red and white
stripes, and the 13 white five-pOint-
ed stars in a blue canton of the
Rhode Island colonial flag (177O.
The resolution of June IA, 1777, in
dicates naval origin and the stars
and stripes was from early times
used in the Navy.
It was intended to provide the
Army with different colors, follow
ing the British practice. The pro-
posed Army flag was designed from
the many styles Of rattlesnake flags
then in use in the Army and Navy.
The first Stars and Stripes is
probably the Northampton County,
Easton, Pa, flag, preserved in the
Easton, Pa, library, dating to July
s, 1875. 1t is not, however, the
present pattern, as the 13 stripes
(smalD are in the canton and the
stars in blue field, II eight. point
ed stars in circle, thirteenth star
in center.
The first Stars and Stripes SUBJ
stantially in the present form, is
the Fillmore Bennington flag OF
August, 1877, preserved at Benning-
ton, VT. 1t has 13 alternate white
and red stripes, large blue canton
numerals in semicircle Of II seven
pointed stars and a twelfth and
| thirteenth larger star, one in upper
right and one in upper left of the
canton.
There are many pictures such as
! Leutze's Washington Crossing tn"
Delaware painted in Germany in
1855 and the Trumbull and Peale
paintings, painted long after the
events, showing stars and stripes be-
fore 1877, but they are unhistorical
