Little Beans $500
Horse May Win
$500 Labor Day

Pawtucket, r. l., Aug. ia Bos-
ton woman, whose keen judgment
of horsehesh led her to invest $500
in scrubby yearling little over q
year ago, may soon be hailed as the
owner of the bargain horse" Of
1910. The lady is Mrs. Louise Pal.
ladino and the horse Is Little Beans,
bay son Of Mirafel-Florhi. Un-
beaten in his only three starts to
date, although disqualified out of his
first victory by reason Of humping
match between jockeys around the
home turn, the horse with the
homely name already rates consid-
Grafton for top honors in the $500
added Old Colony Stakes, to be run
at Narragansett Park on Labor Day.
Bargain horses, youngsters bought
for song at the yearling sales and
quickly earning many times their
purchase price, flash across the turf
quite often. But bargain horses,
which, like Little Beans, can go out
and whip such high priced colts as
Ben Listers $l1,600 Bull Brier, hap
pen only once in a while.
Won Then Lost First
Mrs. Palladino bought Little Beans
last year and after being broken in,
and given a period of light train
ing, the colt was wintered at Danny
Shea,s farm in Maryland. He got
to the races at Suffolk Downs this
spring where he was disqualified
after finishing first In his first ap-
pearance. The colt made amends
at his second time out and scored
in a hand gallop to win a purse
Of 5000. Then he went on to whip
Bull Brier, General Jack, Lost Gold
and others in the Maplewood Stakes
at Rockingham on August z. This
victory Melted Mrs. Palladino $2,095
and brought Little Beans earnings
to $685..
Little Beans was named after a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Paladino,
who was nicknamed Joe Beans. Al
ready hailed as the most promising
two-year-old to show in New Eng
land this year, the bargain colt will
receive the acid test Of his short
career in the Old Clony. This ira
ditional Gansett stake always brings
out a fine field of youngsters, many
Of them eligibles for the New Eng
land Futurity, which follows two
weeks later. II Little Beans can
whip the high class company In
which he finds himself here, he will
pretty near cinch his claim 10 the
title, bargain horse of l04O."

CONN-pASTOR
WINNER WILL
HAVE TO WAIT
Bout Switched Indoors to
September S; Belloise
VS.. Garcia

New York, Aug. IA. (UP)-Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs was negotiating
today for q possible title opponent
for Joe Louis some place outside of
New York city In September or
early October.
These negotiations were forced
upon Jacobs by the postponement
Of last nights Bob Pastor Billy
Conn battle to Sept. 5. Because Of
rain. Conn and Pastor were slated
to fight at the Polo Grounds, but
their brawl now will be held indoors
at Madison Square aGrden. Last
nights winner had been scheduled
to meet Louis for the title In Sep
TENDER.
Had Conn won over Pastor last
night, he would have met Louis In
New York at aYnkee Stadium in
mid September. But with the Conn
Pastor melee shifted toSept. 5, such
meeting is impossible. In fact any
outdoor Louis bout in New York Is
now impossible, since Jacobs an
nounced last night that Welter-
weight Champion Henry Armstrong
would defend his title against a
worthy opponent" at the Garden,
Oct. 4.
Busy Schedule
Jacobs certainly would not risk
an outdoor New oYrk bout for Louis
after mid october, and the proxi-
nifty Of the Sept. 5 and Oct. 4 Gar
den bouts prevents time for q New
York steam-up by Mid-October.
oMreover Jacobs is going ahead now
with plans for two other aGrden
bouts in September. Ceferino Gar
cha and Steve Belloise will meet
there in middleweight contenders'
battle on Sept. IL, and AL Davis and
Tony Marteliano, welterweight con-
tenders, will fight 1t out there Sept.
20.
Jacobs declined to reveal what
opponent he would offer to Louis
and Co-Manager John Roxborough
at today's conference at the 10th
Century, Club. 1t is believed that
he has resumed conversations with
Make Baer. Some time ago Jacobs
broke Of negotiations with Baer
when the latter demanded $4,000
guarantee to meet Louis again.
The Pastor Conn bout vas post
poned three weeks because Of the
unfavorable weather forecast for
the remainder Of this week and the
difficulty Of keeping the fighters at
peak condition on day-to-day
basis. Now they can rest week at
their homes and then return to New
York for two weeks training.

Archibald And
Ivy Figures To
Be "Hot' Battle

Hartford, Aug. 1.-Two ambitious,
young family men, each imbued with
much more incentive than that
which fires the average successful
fighter, will pour on the fist-packed
leather In Promoter Lou Viscusi's 10
round boxing feature at Buckley
Stadium here August 20.
Bobby Ivy, Hartford's hope for the
featherweight championship, has a
wife and little girl, and his opponent,
joey Archibald, recently the holder
Of the title, is benedict Of a few
months. Both hope to swell family
resources with great financial returns
from their rugged work in the ring
and both consider the Forthcoming
battle stepping stone to future luc-
rative bouts.
Some of the. best ring battles In
history are those which bracketed
fiery Italians with proverbially game
fighting Irishmen and the Viscusi
headliner promises to be one of those
thrillers.
Fights Like BAT"
Ivy's origin is in the East Side Ital-
ian section of Hartford, whence came
the famous featherweight champion
Bat Battalino, and like Bat he makes
a l-for-leather, two-f1sted attack
the chief part Of his offense. His SUM-
day punch is a smasing left hook to
the ribs and he has blitzkrieged most
of his victims with this shot.
Archibald flashes the all-round two
listed style which marks the scrap
per who has long been at work In
clever fighting company. Each fight
er has a covetous eye on the world
title and both are sure to come out
with their classiest ring perform
ances in the viscusi feature.

Spencer Scott 81 Favor.
lite in $4,000 Trotting
Race Today
BY JACK GUENTHER
United Press Racing Editor

Goshen, N. r, Aug. l4-(Up)-
An odd mixture Of some 10000 city
jewellers, farm boys and just plain
touts assembled under the candy
striped awnings Of Good Time park
today to watch nine strapping
standardized horses 60 trotting
away in quest Of the $4,000 purse
OF the famous Hambletonian stake.
The skies were clear and the tri-
angular track was dry for the OPEN
ing Of the third and biggest day Of
the annual upstate New York meet
ing. Only q last-minute storm could
spoil the show, and q few Of the
visitors or natives who gathered for
the 18th renewal Of the biggest and
richest trot in the world looked for
rain.
Instead they looked for the solid
choice. Actually, the crowd which
took advantage Of the new pari-
mutuel windows was 50 confused by
the most wide open race In six
years that all 1t could do was en-
gage in minor adaptation Of an old
nursey game Button button,
whose got the favorite?"
Favorite 81
The price-layers said G. w. Phellis
of Greenwich, Conn, had the favor
lite in the big, husky colt named
Spencer Scott and that the prices
on this one would drop as low as
80. But disagreement makes horse
racing-even harness tracing-and
plenty customers disagreed despite
the fact that Spencer Scott has
been clicked in the fastest time Of
the season and has twice whipped
the future-book favorite, d. w.
Bost-wick's Kuno, who came In to-
day as cecond choice at 5-1.
Kuno was only one Of eight OPP
ponents and at least two OF the rest
were given more than an ordinarily
good chance of upsetting the annual
corn-silk derby or hay-seed handi.

The two were aHrry Shorts
second in three consecutive
starts this season, at 81; and ]. A.
Neville's Milestone, second In the
1889 Kentucky Futurity and the
choice Of the dark horse tipsters.
The latter also was fixed at 81.
The others were nght-weights. OF
the lot, only Earls Moody Guy,
owned by Earl Shropshire and aptly
was given q great deal Of
consideration. He was priced at l0-l
as an entry with Joseph Burke's
