HORTON SMITH
 GETS NEW BID
Erstwhile "Joplin Ghost'' Reaches Quarter
 Finals

Pomonok Country Club, New York July 13.-(UP)-There was a fa- miliar face, that of Horton Smith among the eight men who set out today in the quarter finals of the 22nd National P. G. A. tournament
 Being in the round of eight is nothing new to the lanky fellow they used to call the Joplin Ghost back around 1929 and 30 when he had a butter that could do more tricks than magician's wand. But getting past the quarter finals is something else for Smith, who now operates out of Oak Park, Ill.
 Three times since 1895, Horton has been in there but he was elim- mated each time. Today Smith faces E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Oak Park H., one of the red hots" of the recent winter tour, after having beaten Clarence Doser of Ardmore Pa, 4 and 2. At the end of eigh holes, Horton was five down, bu he won the next eight holes to b, up at the end of the first 18. Ther in the afternoon, he added to hi! lead.
 All the stars who started out yes. terday were still in 1t today excep Denny Shute, whose eligibility pro. duced the golfers strike. Was de. feated by Emerick Kocsis of Orion Mich.
 Today, Kocsis gets open champion Byron Nelson.
 Defending champion Paul Run. van, who won 2 and 1 victory owe! little Benny Hogan, faces Dick Metz Rod Munday, a virtual unknown plays Henry Picard.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 'OLD TIMERS WIN

Boston, July 13-CUP) - Maybe the present day American league is superior to the National. but old timers had proof today that things were different in the good old days"
 The proof was furnished when the National league All-Stars of yester- year defeated their American league rivals, 8-4, in an exhibition game celebrating New England's baseball centennial yesterday.
 A couple of ancients, Jack Ryan, 7l-year-old pitcher, and Kid Nich- ols. who played for Boston in 1894, sent the Nationals off to flying start. Nichols retired after pitching scoreless first inning, but Ryan played the entire game alternating behind the plate and at second base. where he handled five chances with but one error. He also made one hit.
 The Americans fielded team that included Connie Mack's q .000.- 900 infield of Baker. Barry. Collins and McInnis and the Red sox famed outfield of Hooper. Speaker and Lewis.

FIGHTING FOX
 PROVES SHOCK
 TO TURF WORLD
Overlooked Brother of Gallant Fox Wins $5O,-
 900 Race; Pays $3l
By TOM NOONAN Limited Press Staff Correspondent

(United Press Stam C0rreSpOndent) Boston, July 13-(UP)-They said Fighting Fox had distinct distaste for distance, but the Balair stud colts driving finish to win the Massa- chusetts handicap was the talk of the turf world today.
 There were few packers for the four year old, brother of Gallant Fox, and he went to the post l5-1 shot yesterday. The $50,000 added handicap, New England's richest racing prize, is a mile and fur long, and not many figured the Fox to bother mighty Challedon, w. L. Brann's top-heavy favorite.
 But the unpredictable colt amazed the crowd of 10000 with his run through the mud in 1:52-just three seconds off Seabiscuits track record His half-length victory brought a purse of $49,250 to Owner William woodward and sent his own earn ings into the 5000 circle.
 Ridden capably by Jimmy Stout Fighting Fox was taken to the front shortly after the start and fought of all challenges.
 Jerome H. Loucheim's Pompoon always contender, moved from fourth at the half mile, and shot into second at the three-quarter mark He turned on the heat in the stretch but Fighting Fox refused to re- linquish the lead over that last fur long, where he has been outfooted so many times before, and Pom- ponOs owner had to be content with $10,000 second money
 Shandon Farms Burning Star from Chicago, started poorly but finished third. Last to break, he gained ground rapidly under smart ride by Warren Yarberry. He was nearly three lengths ahead fo Chal- ledon.
 Challedon came up fast and nosed out A. c. Vanderbilt's Heelfly, who finished a Icing thahead of Nedayr
 Burning Star got $5,O00 for third with $2,500 to Challedon and $1,25O to Heelfiy.
 Crooner Bing Crosby's seven year old Argentina-bred Ligaroti, third choice in the betting, finished 11th
 Ciencia, King Ranch's winner of the $50,000 Santa Anita Derby. and the only Ally in the race, failed again, finishing 10th.

of his game. could take a base- ball pitcher and give him better control, faster ball, and sharper curve. I am not joking. I am quite serious"
 Some Trick
 As said before, 1t is a shame that MT. Grippos isn't here weav- ing mystic businesses over my head In no time at all, If he is telling the truth, he could fill me to over- flowing with the literary muse and make me a combination of Conrad Demaupassant, the Bronte sisters and Babe Ruth, who, when he was writing for Christy Walsh, was con- sidered by many critics to possess the most facile pen of the day Some of the Babes World Series analyses composed between hot dogs, were little gems. A man might go even further and say they were very, very little gems.
 MT. Grippe will send Mello Bet. tino into the ring tonight in his very best grade A, all-wool, double dipped trance. OFT small fights MT Grippe does not bother to give Mello fresh hynotic treatment but lets him get along on tie after effects of the one before. But fol the last three or four days he has personally worked on every cell ir his fighters brain. Before he is finished with him today he will have Mello reduced Cor built up, ac. cording to the way you look at the business) to IS pounds of swarthy robot, ready to do his masters bid ring. MT. Grippe instructs his charge throughout the fight. Not by word of mouth, mind you, but by thought transference.
 HeadwOrk
 When MT. Grippe feels that Mellc Is in need of instruction, he gives forth a 5,000-watt thought wave that slices through the smoke that always surrounds a well ordered fight arena and bangs into Mello's ears. In tense moments, when Mellc is in distress and needs help quick ly, MT. Grippe turns loose thought waves so powerful that people pick them up on their radios 50 and 6( miles from the scene of battle.
 My guess Is that Mello is going to be in lots of trouble tonight, and that waves of thought from MT Grippe will be breaking about his head like combers on a Pacific reef Because Billy Conn, the Pittsburgh stylist, is a cute and cunning article in that ring. Conn, a master boxe, and the best handler of his fist. since Tommy Loughran was in his prime, is looking past Bettina to 6 heavyweight bout with Joe Louis. think he'll get 1t.
 Postscript: If MT. Grippe reall, is Q magician as he says he Is, why Is his name still Grippe? It seemi to me that he would have yellet prestoi and changed it long ago To Prestol Even, which is to b, preferred to Grippe. Not 8 bas name, that-Jimmy Prestol

TANKS GO WEST
 TO START MOST
 CRUCIAL SERIES
Lead Cut to 6H Games Pitchers Sour; Brown
 Beats Brooklyn
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

BY GEORGE KIRkSEY
 United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 13-CUP)-The question before the house Is: "Are the Tanks tottering?"
 The Tanks will invade the west in their most precarious position this season. They have just lost five in row to the Red Sox, and eight out of their last Il games. Their Amer ican league lead has melted from F 1-2 games to 6 1-2. Their pitching and hitting went sour at the same time. Against the Red Sox, they av- eraged only 2 2-5 runs per game as compared with their seasons aver age of nearly 6 1-2.
 The Tanks have had only three pitchers, Bump Hadley, Steve Sum dra and Alley Donald, go the route and win since July l. Their aces Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez and Monte Pearson have begged down in their latest efforts.
 The Tanks showing in the All- Star game, in which Ruffing pitched a creditable three innings and Sel- kirk, Gordon and DiMaggio drove in all three of the American leagues runs may give the world champions 1 8 lift.
 Donald, the spectacular rookie who has won 10 straight games without defeat, has been named to face the Tigers in the Tanks open- ing game today in the west. Buck Newsom, who glories in facing the Tanks, will oppose Donald. Last time Buck hurled against the Tanks they beat him, 1-0.
 The National league returned to competition last night when the Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the Brooklyn Dodgers, 80, and handed Whit Wyatt his first National league defeat before 29,48l at Ebbets field. Mace Brown, used chiefly for relief roles, started for the Bucs and doled out six scattered hits. Lloyd Waner's double, Arkie vaughn's infield hit, Johnny Rizzo's sacrifice fly and Klein's single were coupled in the first inning for two runs. Lloyd Waner's second double in the seventh drove the Prites' other run home. It was the third time Brown had started this year, and his fourth victory.
 The two National league leaders the Reds and Giants, will tangle 1T a three-game series at the Polt grounds, with Bucky Walters, wht has notched 13 victories, and Manue Salvo, who has won only four game. but who has beaten Cincinnati twice, facing each other on thu mound.
 Loss of Ival Goodman, Reds hard. est-hitting outfielder, as result oi his All-Star game injury, has robbed Cincinnati of some of its punch Goodman, nursing dislocatee shoulder, will be out two weeks. Hi! place will be taken by Nino Bon. giovanni against right-handers ant by French Bordagary against south paws.
