DENVER, Aug. 14.-You may say
for Buford, Ga, the new champion
of the Denver Post baseball tour
nament, that here is club that
never knows when it's licked.
The score of last nights final
was Buford, Is; Duncan, Okla, IA,
in probably the most incredible title
game played since the tournament
began in 1915.
The Georgians won six tourney
games without a loss and the first
title ever taken by team from the
deep South in this mile-high fix
ture.
Probably not a handful of the
more than 5000 spectators would
have given the Dixie brigade a
chance when they came up to their
half of the eighth trailing, IA to 7.
Even after Buford pushed across
four runs Duncan looked within
easy reach of victory.
Then came the last half of the
ninth and four more runs for VIC
tory.

Level Best and Nasca
Stealing Attention
From BimeIech
Unbeoten FiIIies to Run
In Spinowoy, Big Boy
In Trovers Saturday
By BOB MCCORMICK,

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. IA R).-It looks as If a pair
of young ladies of the turf might
steal the show from big boy Bim-
elech Saturday at the Saratoga
race track.
Bimelech, the in-again- -out-again
fellow who has been running after
the elusive 3-year-old champion
ship all year, will make another
start in the historic Travers Stakes.
But the turf world seems more
interested in the fate Of a couple of
2-year-old f1llies.
Juveniles in Limelight.
They are Crispin Oglebay's Level
Best, which. until Whirlaway
whirled up the stretch like a cy-
clone to win the Saratoga Special
last Saturday many thought would
win the juvenile championship, and
Breckenridge Longs Nasca. Both
ing for the Spinaway Stakes, CO.
featured with the Travers.
That wouldn't mean much most
years, but this season, when there
are more good 2-year -old fillies
around than bad tips. the first
meeting Of the two is feature for
any race track.
Probably they'll go to the post
almost equal favorites in a field
of around 10 including Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Tangled, Hal Price Head
ley's Pelisse and C. v. Whitney's
Traffic Court. all above the av-
erage young race mares.
Appear Well Matched.
Between the two unbeaten ones,
however, there is little to choose.
Both ran the 5ia furlongs in
l:05l5 in winning their only local
tests handily. Level Best carried
119 pounds when she beat some
good colts in the Saratoga Sales
Stakes: Nasca whipped several good
fillies, including Tangled and Pelisse,
in the Schuylerville with ITO aboard.
The TraverS, too, may draw
big field, one of the largest in years.
Admittedly pointing for the mile
and-a-quarter 3-year-old test are,
in addition to Big BIN, Mrs. George
Wideners Your Chance, recent
