Three Favorites
That's harsh opinion, but let's
look at the horses. Right now the
top three candidates for the $50, 900
Derby are 9. s.. Towards Midland,
Milky Way farms Tough Hombre
and Neil McCarthy's Augury. The
former came out Of Oregon, a state
which never has produced q really
good horse. Tough Hombre did
nothing as two-year-old to war;
rant him more than grade @ rating.
Augury was bought for an even
81 900 at the Saratoga yearling sales,
or fore 30 per cent less than the
average price for some 900 head that
year.

AUKER AIRED
BY RED SOX

Boston, Feb. 9-(UP)-Baseball
men specialized today on new eff.
forts to strengthen the Boston Red
Sox pitching staff for an assault on
New York Yankee supremacy.
The Red Sox announced last night
that Eden Auker, veteran under
hand pitcher, had been sold to the
st. Louis Browns for an unnamed
cash sum.
Regarded as significant was the
statement made by general-manager
Eddie Collins who said that Auker
did not fit into the Red Sox plans
for the 1940 season.
Auker, who came to Boston. with
outfielder Chef Morgan last season
in q, trade that sent infielder Pinky
Higgins to Detroit, was Of little help
in bolstering the Red Sox weak
pitching staff. The 30-year-old
pitcher won nine games and lost 10
with second-place club.
The Red Sox also announced re-
ceipt Of the 1910 contract Of pitcher
Jim Bagby Jr. who was farmed to
Little Rock early last season after a
brilliant first year.
