KUNO NOW READY FOR HAMBLETONIA
B0strick Colt One of Four Probable Winners of
 Harness Classic

Goshen, N. Y, Aug. 9.-UP)- Kuno, tall bay colt owned by Dun- bar w. Bostwick of Long Island, N. r., ranked today as the probable choice to win the Hanbletonian Stake, Americas No. trotting race, on Aug. 14.
 Although mentioned favorably in pre-race discussions, Kuno is only one of four probable starters who have better than good chance to win the $40,000 purse. Milestone, owned by J. A. Neville of Delaware, O.; Remus, owned by Harry Short of Columbus, O.; and Spencer Scott, owned by c. w. Phellis of Green wich, Conn.,, are his chief rivals for the public favor.
 What little enthusiasm Kuno has received so far has been due to his victory in the Kentucky Futurity. He has also been timed in 2:04 IA and was the leading juvenile in 1899.
 Milestone is the dark horse. He ran second to Kuno in the Ken- lucky and turned in his most nota- ble workout when he did half in :58 1-4. Remus is one of the larg- est horses trotting has ever seen and has been second in all three of the major three-year-old stakes this season. He's won heat in every event.
 Spencer Scott's packers pin their hopes on one thing, 8 fiat 2:03 clocking, the best time turned in by any one of the 47 eligibles this season.

BASIL JAMES TO
 HANDLE BRADLEY COLT SATURDAY
GaIlahadion, Midland, Sir OccO to Run Agianst 40
 Question Mark"
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor)


 Chicago, Aug. 9.-(UP) -Bimeiech today entered the thirtieth running of the $4o,0oo American Derby. It may be his last chance to cement the 1940 three-year-old title, but the big news at Washington Park was that this time Basil James not Fred A. Smith-will ride him.
 Only four opponents were named to go against the idle hour colt to- morrow over the mile and . quar- ter route of what once was the richest race in America, but three of them were unusually tough. The field included Gallahadion, Midland, Sirocco and one outsider-Weigh Anchor.
 But for once the horses thern- selves were overShadowed by the tiny figure of jockey. The switch in riders was looked upon as 6 move that would prove once and for all whether Bimelech's three defeats this season can be attributed to bad rides or bad horse. James is expected to supply that proof, and he is a jockey particularly well- equipped for the task.
 Biinelech never has gone to the post without Smith on his back. To- gether the son of Black Toney and the Little Cuban Boy rose from the ranks to the two-year-old title year ago. Together they won their two first starts this season. Then Gallahadion came along in the stretch of the Kentucky Derby to hand them their first defeat. After that whipping and after both the succeeding ones, Smith received more abuse than his horse.
 Now new boy will go up and the new boy is known as one of the smartest, boldest and most truculent little fellows on the turf. James is a stretch rider; he holds his horses back in the early going then sends them booming once they pass the final turn. This may be just the medicine Bimelech needs-be- cause he always has been beaten at the end.
 V4tdA b4AC tA dS0 4oSSt, tAA 41tV 64 70 certain to start. Bimelech, winner of the Preakness, Gallahadion, win- ner of the Kentucky Derby, and Sirocco, the newcomer who whip ped them both in the Arlington Classic, will share top weight of 126 pounds. Midland, who has been close up in almost every big divi- sional stake of the year, gets 123 while the unknown Weigh Anchor comes in at 118.
 The American Derby, once the outstanding turf fixture in the coun- try, will be the last of the rich summer three-year- stakes. It is being revived after a lapse of three years and 1t will count heavily when the divisional crown is handed out in November. A victory for Bime- lech would clinch that crown, while another defeat would all but knock him out of the running.

Neuu Rider For Bin1eLech Ln $40, 900 Race
New New York Plant To Land August Dates
BIZ HARRY CRIMSON Nea Service Sports Editor

Saratoga Springs, Aug 2 - Rac- ing men here are unanimous in the belief that pari-mutuel betting will make famous old Saratoga a sec ondary race track.
 Early meeting handles, includ- ing new lows for New York tracks, have experts predicting that the per diem average for the current get-together will be around $300,- 900, and Saturday play will have to be heavy to pull it up to that.
 Jack Campbell, the Jockey Club handicapper and racing secretary, feels that Saratoga wil survive, provided there is no down-state or New Jersey opposition, but there is to be opposition from that section, which is what makes turf men believe the Spa is through as major oval after this year.
 Campbell adds that the Sara toga layout is SO beautiful that the other associations ought to chip in to preserve it, but the politi- clans who put over the mutuel bills are more interested in money for the state than in tradition and what is eye satisfying.
 The politicians prefer handles such as that of the last day of the Empire City meeting - $851, 1,656, which swelled the 24-day total to SIG, ,233, ,786.
 THERE'LL BE RAGING IN NEW JERSEY. TOO It is with this in mind that the politicians are now planning new metropolitan track either on Long Island or in Westchester, with their bulbs on the attractive August dates that long have gone to Saratoga ex- clusively.
 There also will be racing in New Jersey right across the river from Manhattan, and that '! will give the politicians an excuse for infringing on the Saratoga privileges.
 The bill fathered by Senator John J. Dunnigan calls for two separate circuits One down. state, the other up. Naturally, Saratoga belongs in the upstate loop, but things won't be so good for racing at the Spa if there is racing around New York at the same time. The bet tors come from New York. There may also be couple of other tracks upstate, one in Buffalo.
 George H. Bull, president of the track is making money on the turnover, but at the present rate 1t will be some time before it gets back the $250, ,000 that was spent to modernize the plant for mutuels.
 There are BOT windows where 100 would do .. and then some. SPA IS NOT GEARED
 FOR MUTUEL BETTING
 Crowds have been as good as ever, but the folks simply do not take to the machines. Of course, anybody is foolish to expect Sara toga, surrounded by no more than 100000 people in 75-mile radius, to come close to equalling the ter rife handles of metropolitan courses but betting has been so light that it is suspected some of it is being done outside the machines.
 Saratoga in the past drew the bigger and smarter bettors, and they dislike to cut their own prices.
 Saratoga is one place that really misses the bookmakers.
 There were more than 100 of them, and they brought an aver age of 10 people apiece. It was the bookmakers and their assist ants and families who filled Sara toga cottages.
 Saratoga Springs, the resort, simply is not geared for pari- mutuel betting.
