previously had made Of the two
players.
Never have I seen two players
fold up so completely" said Gabby
when he announced the suspension
Of Demaree and Collins.
II know that a player can't get
a hit every time he goes to the
bat, but he at least can make
a good try. I tried to build UP
Demaree by restoring him to the
cleanup spot, but it didn't do any
good. I'm going into the cleanup
spot myself, and although I might
not deliver, at least I'll take
healthy cuts at the ball.
Hartnett announced the lineup
in the approaching games will be 4:

CHANGING FORM
|OF MENOW BIC.
PUZZLE OF TURF.
HeadIey Horse Upsets
Dope in Every Race
BY LOU BINIDMAN

NEW YORK, Aug, 4 U.N.s0.
Trying to determine whether Me
now is a distance racer or, after
all, nothing more than a Splinter
or miller, has kept the racing pub
lie guessing ever since the Hal
Price Headley star leaped into
high prominence by his Belmont
Futurity victory last year.
Just when it appeared he had
become properly catalogued as q
Sprinter, the son of Pharamond II
ups and trims such a champion
steed as War Admiral, among
others, in the mile-and-an-eighth
Massachusetts, Handicap, an d
scrambles all the dope as effec-
lively as a cementmixer. Back
tracking on that form, Menow
then went on to take drubbing
in the mile-and-a-quarter Airing
ton classic, comprising a field of
his own age, as compared to the
oldsters he met in the Massa-
chusetts, and now. in regarding
his chances for future distance
contests, calculators and prog
nosticators are finding themselves
neither here nor there.
OWNER PUZZLED
Even Owner Hal Price Headley
and Trainer Duval Headley pro-
fess themselves to be at a loss.
While they appraise their charge
as chiefly a miller, they, too, are
nonplusSed by his ructions in
sometimes winning over a route
and other times failing even over
his supposedly favorable middle
distance.
If it is difficult for them to come
to a conclusive decision, it can
readily be seen just how infinite
ly more puzzling the problem
becomes to the lay racing fans
who, cognizant of Menow's high
class and Wanted speed, have
given the Headley colt consider
able support in all his endeavors,
only to find, invariably, that the
cat jumped the other way.
Yet for all that and all that,
the Headley stable is still making
distance races their colts chief
target. With all the stakes on the
lavish Saratoga retinue, an appre-
cable number of which may have
proven profitable stamping ground
for Menow, the Headleys kept
their aces name off Spa nomina-
ton lists, rendering him ineligible
for the rich and historic prizes at
that Adirondack summer oasis.
POINTS FOR 'GANSETT
Instead, Menow will point for
the Narragansett Special, a long
distance event which is expected
to bring together the outstanding
satellites of the three-year-old and
upward brigade in one of the most
trying and testing speed and en-
durance contests of the early fall
season.
But as to Menow's role in all
this, racegoers are only acquainted
with the Headley intention to
start the colt in the big race,
against whatever contenders and
regardless of the distance. And
that only serves to reemphaSize
the doubt and incredulity which
hangs about Menow's true distance
running status. Will he be able
to turn back the stellar field
which is certain to go to the post,
or will he once again falter and
fizzle after setting the early pace
in his cllStnIn2rv fashion?
