veto it because the nearly $1,000

badly needed by the schools and
no substitute revenue was pro-
vided.
Senate Bills 1916 and 1917 con-
tinued gas tax collections to the

them because he considered the

Skelp And Spiegeleisen
That release from the President
the other day which served notice
that exporters of Skelp and

licenses before they can ship
these products out of the United
States sent me nuzzling through
he dictionaries.
At first I thought he was talk
ing about SeaWeed and a new
brand of Munich beer-but brace
yourself: its nothing like that.
The dictionary defines skelp as
(a) to kick severely, to slap with
the hand, CD TO leap awkwardly,
tc) to run, as a clock, Id a sud-
den and heavy shower and (e) a
strip of iron or steel from which
tubes, gun-barrels etc. are made.
It's not hard to figure this out.
There hasn't been any embargo on
kicking severely for a good many
years now.
The President couldn't have
been talking about anything but
strips of iron and steel It's just
that simple to figure out what goes
on in the national defense set-up.

EMPIRE TRACK
TO DRAW HUGE
BETTING CROWD
Eight Thirty z to | Shot
Over Isolater in Sixth
Run of Turf Classic
BY JACK GUENTHER
UNITED Press Racing Editor

Yonkers, N. Y, July Cup
Eight Thirty carried his blue
hoped silks out on the track again
today in the sixth running OF the
$4,000 Butler handicap for the race
that could make or break his bid
for Americas four-year- old turf
championship.
Although the son of PLATE was
upset last week in the Brooklyn by
Belair Studs Isolater he was again
top-weighted at 1923 pounds and
favored to reverse the decision. His
odds on the morning line were 2-1
and expected to drop lower once
the $4,000 spectators started pouring
their bets through the p1utuel win
dows Of the Empire City track.
Isolater, weighted with 119 pounds
and coupled with Fighting Fox at
122, again was regarded as the
toughest opposition on a fast track.
Can't Wait, who has been second In
two straight stake races, carried
ITO pounds and was the third choice
in advance forecasts. Although she
was given little chance to win, the
veteran mare EspoSa-alSo in at
110-drew sentimental backing.
The remainder of the field for the
mile and 3-16 event, the richest of
the Empire City meeting and the
last major New York handicap until
the middle Of the Saratoga season
next month, included Aethelwold,

Chief, ITO; Sickle T., 106; and Sandy
Boot, 104. All we re considered

Meanwhile, three other stake

League Rivals

Boston, July 6-(UP)-The first
place Brooklyn Dodgers and the Bos-
ton Bees play the second of a four
game series today after struggling
S hours and 10 minutes in the long
est contest in major league history
from the standpoint Of elapsed time
The Dodgers finally broke through
with a four-run barrage in the Goth
inning to win, GO, as darkness fell
last night. Electric lights were
twinkling along the Charles river
when the final out was recorded.
The game was four minutes longer
than the previous mark the same
clubs set here last June in a 90
inning tie. Brooklyn and Boston, also
hold the record for the longest game
in point of innings, set 20 years ago
in IL tie after 26 innings.
1t was tough game for Southpaw
Joe Sullivan to lose. The Bee relief
hurler allowed but three scratch sin
giles from the 10th to the goth inning.
Only two days previous he had
pitched a nine-inning win over
Philadelphia.
Hugh Casey of the Dodgers, hurl-
ing nearly the same stretch, was
reached for six safeties in 9 1-3 in
nings, but throttled six Bee threats
during his fanI,rn
Two hits, two errors and two
passes caused Sullivan's downfall in
the goth and preserved the Dodger
one-game lead over the Cincinnati
Reds.
Arguments Galore
Luke Hamlin and Rookie AL Pie
chota battled on nearly even terms
over the regulation distance with
the Bees tieing the score at p
by scoring in the ninth.
Several arguments involving Man
ayers Leo Rurocher and Casey STEM
gel and their players with Umpire
Dick Campbell delayed the game.
Stengel was banished in the 10th
for a to strenuous protest.
The Dodgers used 10 men includ-
ing five pitchers. Newt Kimball, who
etired two batters, was the winning
pitcher. The Bees had 10 players
in the fray including four pitchers.
AT Washington, the Red Sox out
slugged the Senators to win, "a.
