Damaged Goods
Is 0omph Girl
Of Turfdon1
Acorn and Oaks Victor
Nearly Ruined in Fire,
Proves q Cinderella
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, June 3.-The
"oomph" girl of the race tracks this
spring is a leggy little SCARED fllly
with enough Cinderella in her back
ground to be written up in a book.
Her name is Damaged Goods-and
that's just what she was when she
came down to Edward B. Benjamin's
New Orleans stables from Arthur
B. Hancock's breeding farm at
Paris, KY, a couple of years back.
She had been through a stable fire
that left her frightened half to
death, her coat scared and her hide
laid bare by the flames.
But now she's the queen of the
American turf for this year, winner
of both the Acorn and the Amer
lean Oaks at Belmont. It's stunt
that's been duplicated by only two
misses" of the turf in History-Top
Flight and Dawn Play, a pair OF
the greatest race mares ever to 20
to the post.
Hikes Earnings to $26,625.
With her victory in the Oaks Sat-
urday, the finely bred daughter of
Jacopo and Perjury boosted her
earnings for the year to a neat
$26.6 She couldn't bit the COM
bination in l3 outings as a 2-year-
old and collected only s725.
What she is now can all be laid
to the faith Trainer Johnny Mil
burn had in her. He wouldn't give
up despite her juvenile showing. or
the fact that everything was against
her. He'd taken a liking to her ever
since she turned up in his barn,
scared and scared. He had taken
one look at the marks of the flames
and didn't have to think twice for
her name. He registered her imme-
diately: Damaged Goods.
He trained her tirelessly as a
yearling, finally got her over her
fright and calmed down. But still
left is some of the soreness from
her burns. She has to wear a thick
pad under her blanket.
Gains Revenge on Fairy Chant.
She started off hot this year. In
dozen starts, she's been beaten by
a 3-year-old f1lly only twice-once
in the mud at Hialeah, where she
was a fast closing third at seven
furlongs and again in the Pimlico
Oaks. when she just couldn't get
started and finished fifth to Fairy
Chant.
But she's had her revenge. Fairy
Chant was the betting choice in the
Acorn, and Damaged Goods showed
her the way home by five lengths,
for which she paid a New York
record price of $14350 for 81 under
the mutuels. Fairy Chant was the
favorite again Saturday and this
time Benjamin's little lassie came
from behind, and in the mud, too.
1t topped off the Cinderella piece.
The ugly duckling's a glamour girl
now.

games at Harvard attracted wide
publicity even though smashing
marks is an old habit with the
Georgetown giant, but the thing
that pleased Coach Hap" Hardell
most was Ken Lyden's run in the
half mile.
Young Lyden. a slender sophomore
was third in a -spangled field
and his performance had Hardell
doing verbal hsndsprings.
Getting third is good enough for
me in field like that, especially
when it was Lyden's first big test.
You've got to remember he's been
running relays for us all year and
that was his first time out on his
own hook. I don't think he ran
his best race, but it was good enough.
Remember, he whipped Andy Neidnig
of Manhattan. Lynn Radcliffe of
Syracuse, Denzil Widel of California,
Joe Zeitler, Manhattan, and Les
McMitchell of N. Y. U. He beat
about 20 top-f1ight runners in plac-
ing third and he wasn't supposed to
have chance.
mo. you can't be disappointed
with the race he ran-even though
1t wasn't his best. At least I don't
think it was his best. He didn't
have his usual finishing kick. You
know how he finished his leg in the
mile relay at the Penn Relays? Well,
he didn't have that finishing power
this time, but let's forget that. He
got third and I'm satisfied"
Hardeu hews to the opinion that
Lyden is just beginning to develop.
He's only youngster and, as Hap
pointed out, never before was in a
bigtime race. He was up against the
best in the country. veterans who
knew how to pace themselves, how
to save stamina and few steps that
mean so much in the stretch run.
He met them under the handicap
of inexperience and came through
with flying colors.
AS for AL Blozis, Hardell believes
he'll knock over the world mark
some quiet afternoon in a meet of
small Importance and he has con-
vfncing evidence for this argument.
In practice BloZis chucks the shot
and heaves the discus for good yard
age without apparent effort, but in
competition he has a tendency to
tighten up, which reduces his eff
caency.

everybody feels he will be.
Hudson yesterday resembled the
highly touted lad he was labeled
this spring as the club emerged
from the placid atmosphere of the
palms, chucking five and one-third
innings without allowing what even
family initiated a hit to the De-
troit Tigers, who had accumulated
enough runs off Rene Monteagudo
to capture the decision at Griffith
Stadium, 8-6.
Before some 5000 customers Hud-

Showing Bolsters Confidence.
Hudson's pitching hitherto had
been swatted with such enthusiasm
that his confidence apparently was
destined to be shattered. But he
learned lesson, applied it and
feels he has conquered mountain
Gus fault he owned.
Sid entered the game after the
Tigers had clawed Monteagudo for
seven runs and eight hits in his
brief appearance, disposed of Dick
Bartell, who had smashed two con-
secutive doubles, for the final out
of the third inning and continued
to hurl brilliantly.
He hit Barney McCosky, leading
off in the fourth inning. and walked
Charley Gehringer, but from that
point he moved them down. He
forced Hank Greenberg, who had
clipped Monteagudo for a home
run and double. to foul to Catcher
Jake Early and made Rudy York
hit ground ball which should have
been converted into an easy double
play. Second Baseman Jimmy

CINCINNATI, June 3.-Write
this on the wall somewhere:
One of these days soon maybe
some pitcher for the Cincinnati
Reds is going to throw himself
no-hitter. It's in the cards-and
maybe it'll be the St. Louis Cards.
The argument:
From Sunday to Sunday Manager
Bill McKechnie's pitchers have to
their credit: Item, one 1-hitter;
item, one 3-hitter: item. three A.
hitters; item. one 5-hitter. For 10
games in eight days. that Is a
showing, and if you think the op-
position likes it. ask some sluggers
like Joe Medwick and Johnny Mize
Of the Cards. Arky Vaughan of
Pittsburgh and Max West of Boston.
Another point worth noting is
how close some of the boys have
come to the glory games. In taking
his five-hit. ninth straight win yes
terday, unbeaten Bucky Walters
held the Boston Bees hitless until
the sixth inning. Milkman Jim
Turner cut down all but one of the
first 18 men in his game and four
hits were all the Bees had to work
on for their 2-to-0 victory.
Credit for the record is pretty well
distributed. The best game was
Paul Derringer's one-hitter against
the Cardinals last Sunday. Whitley
Moore and Joe Beggs combined
Monday for a four-hit job against
the Pirates. Walters gave the
Pirates four hits Tuesday. Gene
Thompson allowed the Bees three
Saturday.
So write it down somewhere-but
don't bet on it, baseball being the
game it is.

But they didn't play the game on
paper. Sadly enough it was the

District line, a field that has seen
some lively sandlot tussles in by
gone years. Yesterdays thriller was

The defeat, Klein's first of the
campaign, left it scant half game
