Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 18-(UP)-If what
the clock says is true (and expe-
rience has taught me never to dis
pute anything that has two good
hands, then Challedon looks like a
mighty good thing in the Pimlico
special at Baltimore the first day
of next month.
This big Maryland-bred colt, who
outlasted Johnstown to establish
himself as the best thres-year-old
in the country, figures to take Kayak
II, Cravat and Isolater in tho race
that carries a $4,000 purse and the
pleasing title, horse OF they ear.
The special will be run over the
same distance that Seabiscuit and
War Admiral travelled in the first
special a year ago, mile and 3-16ths.
This route fits Challedon just as
perfectly as 100 yards Goes Jesse
Owens, a mile does Glenn Cunning
ham, and five miles did Nurmi.
Challedon won the PreakneSS, his
biggest individual race, at that dis
lance, and only last week at Keene-
land he blazed through mile and
3-16th in 1854 3-5. And that speed
was good enough to lop two-f1fths
of second off the old world mark
established by Discovery. Challedon
packed 100 pounds at Keeneland, one
more than Discovery had up when
he set his mark Of LIS, and exactly
the same weight he will be asked to
carry in the special.
Odd Stuff
Speaking of weights, sometimes the
assignment of them to race horses
doesn't seem to make much sense.
Take the specials weights, for ex-
ample. Insofar as anyone knows,
Challedon is the best of the horses
in the field. But because he is a
three-year-old he will get of with
100 pounds, and the others will have
to pick up 126. They're older and
therefore are assumed to have stout
er legs. bigger lungs, stronger backs,
and more willing spirits. The fact
that they may not be as fast is not
taken into consideration.
Challedon's chief opposition at
Pimlico Ca track he is very fond of,
incidentally is likely to come from
Kayak II. True, the South Ameri-
can ace was beaten, and badly, by
Challedon in the Narragansett spe-
cial, but 1t isn't likely that Kayak
the Twice was at his hest for that
race. It was his first appearance in
the east after long trip from Cali
fornia, and he wasn't thoroughly
settled.
Let no one tell you that Kayak II
can't run. saw him win the $4,000
handicap at Santa Anita early in the
year, and in that race and several
others he looked unbeatable. Blessed
with plenty of early foot he stayed
with the sprinters from the start,
and at the finish his abundant
stamina found him going away.
Slow Starter
Cravat looked good on the coast,
too, especially in winning the $25 900
San Juan Capistrano hapdicap. But
that fancily named stake was at

New Orleans, Oct. j. = UP) -
The enlarged Sugar Bowl, nearing

There's no waiting to see whether

PITT PAINTERS
MAKE BID FOR
BEST IN EAST
Bowser Boys Get Real
Test This Week From
Carnegie Tech.
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press STAN Correspondent
New York. oct. 18-tUP)- again
&c looks as IL the city Of Pittsburgh
win furnish the eastern football
champion. The issue is likely to be
settled when Pitt and Carnegie
Tech clash on Armistice day.
Both elevens have terrific schedules
the rest of the way ana might get
kicked around enough to let Cornell
In for q look at the title. The latter,
however, is expected to get it in the
neck two weeks hence from Ohio
State. Carnegie Tech is the defend
ing champion, succeeding Pitt, 1886
81 eastern titleholder.
Pittsburgh continues the big sur.
prise package in the east. Coach
Charley Bowser making the most of
a fine freshman squad inherited
from the Jock Sutherland regime,
has moulded o hard-driving and
tricky passing offense around Half
back Dick Cassiano, lone returning
regular from last year. Pitt passed
one of its stiffest obstacles last week
by beating wallace Wades tough
Duke eleven, 1918. Some are calling
it lucky win, but they still pay on
on the final score. Bowser is i'm
proving his outfit from week to
week. Pitt faces an old city rival
in Duquesne this week. After that
In order come Fordham, Temple,
Carnegie Tech, Nebraska and Penn
State.
Carnegie Tech really has not been
tested yet, but the skibos loom as
the only potential challenger to Pitts
bid for eastern honors. With victor
les over Wittenberg, Temple and
Case, Bill Kern's lads may get a
good workout this week from N. Y.
u, which led strong North Caro-
lima eleven for three periods before
bowling 14-7 last week. The last four
games against Notre Dame, Pitt.
Holy Cross and Duquesne are the
big ones on the Skibo schedule.
Cornell has come through with
wins over Syracuse and Princeton
and the Big Red shouldn't have
much trouble this week against
Penn State. And. after Ohio State
the following Saturday, 1t should
roll smoothly against Columbia, Col
gate, Dartmouth and Penn.
A lot Of the experts are expecting
Fordham to bounce back after suc-
cessive losses to Alabama and Tu-
lane. Two of the best teams in the
country. The Rams are idle this
Saturday prepping for Pitt next
week. However, Fordham has tough
going right down the line with Rice,
Indiana, st. Mary's and N. Y. q.
still confronting them.
Two fasteners are involved in
intersectionals this week. Navy, held
to q scoreless tie by Dartmouth,
travels to neutral Cleveland to en-
gage Notre Dame, Manhattan en-
tertains in New York the Auburn
aggregation that surprised Missis-
sippi State last week.
Remainder Of the sectional pro-
gram shares up as follows:
Army VS.. Yale, Boston College VS..
Temple, Brown Holy Gross, George
town Bucknell, Catholic-West Viz
ginia Wesleyan, Colgate-St. Law
renee, Columbia Princeton, Dart
mouth Lafayette, and-Rutgers
and Citadel George Washington.

mile and q half, and that is the dis
lance Cravat likes, because he is
slo wstarter who really doesn't begin
to run until he has warmed up for
mile. Yet, according to Alfred
Vanderbilt, head of Pimlico and
sponsor of the special, Cravat's
owner, Townsend Martin, said the
mile and 3-16th route suited him
perfectly.
Isolater will be the outsider in the
race, both in the betting and breed
ing. He was foaled In Ireland on
the farm of Boyd Rochefort. Eng
lands best known trainer and the
man who handles William Wood
wards foreign stable. Isolater was
supposed to have confined his racing
to English tracks, but when the Eng
lish placed a tremendous tax on Irish
horses, Owner woodward brought
him to this country.

Grand Mercantile
League Notes

The league is In full swing with
several very strong teams in the fold.
Tho title Of the hardest luck team In
the league at this stage of the bat
tie goes to Kiesel Bros. who have
been hitting some real scores but
they have found their opponents in
real form and the result shows a
loss Of six straight against them.
Jimmy Tribune, the bowling expert
ranks them as tops in the league
and Jimmy is never wrong in pre-
dieting winners on bowling alley.
Eddie Schnitzel and Augie Kiessel
are hitting on high. Keep your eyes
on these boys.
The Town Tavern Boys show up
as a hard hitting gang of pin top
pliers and are making arrangements
already to spend the high honors
money. They have been clicking for
the past few weeks and managed to
spill the Kiessel Boys for three
straight games but they knew that
they were in for a bitter battle and
won't be too anxious to meet the Blk
boys in hurry.
The Monarch Insurance boys lead
by inimitable Chucker Klein have
plenty of oomph and atlk and may
make the going mighty tough for the
aspirants of championship honor.
Bill Geaney and tall, very dark and
handsome Jimmy Gaglione make a
pair Of good bowlers who keep throw
ing words at the opposition and have
managed to win some very spectacu-
lar victories over tough opposition.
The real credit goes to the young
Sters from the Hotel Elton who have
lost nine straight games but none of
their courage and when they start
clicking they will cause no end of
worry to the big shots. Little Johnny
Lucewisz and Cimino show I'D as a
couple Of young and coming bowlers.
These youngsters keep boring In and
Will hand some Of the champion
ship contenders dose of knockout
pills one of these nights with some
OF their classy bowling.
The Canal Lunch team bear watch
ing and present a very formi-
dable lineup with Augie Natalie,
Dom Crocco and the celebrated
Choo-Choo Cuicci the reverse ball
king who is hitting the timber in
great style. Pop Manzo shapes I'D as
a good strong anchor man. They
have been handicapped of late be-
cause their number one rooter. Bulb

glecting his team but watch their
smoke when Ernie starts footing the
whistle.
The Grand Five with Doc Cofran-
ceSco, Rocky Daddona, Ffore and
Tony Guerrero anchored by Johnny
Manzo have been hitting their stride
and expect to give the Town Tavern
boys quite a battle for supremacy,
Little Fiore Guerrero is right In his
