Mrs. Mars Goes Hiqh
To GET Black Colt
At Saratoga Sale
Warns Rivals by Paying
$1,000 for YeorIing.
One Of Top Prices
Ry the Associated Press


SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 5.-Mrs. Ethel V. Mars and her
checkbook are back at the Spa. so
If you're thinking of buying any
horses at the Saratoga yearling sales,
you'd better be ready to take the
rubber band off your bank roll.
The widow Of the Chicago candy
manufacturer showed last night, at
the opening of the 1941 sales, that
she's ready to pick up this year
where she left off last, by going to
SO ,200-one of the nights two high
est bids-to bid in colt she had
her eye on.
This was a black son of Jock, out
of the mare Agnes Ayres, and Is a
half-brother to the consistent 4
year-old, General Manager. The
only bid equaling Mrs. Mars at the
opening session came from Earl
Sande, who trains for Maxwell How
ard, Dayton horseman. The Earl
buying for Howard, picked up bay
son of Plucky Play, and it was obvi-

side of the breeding, for the colts
dam is Bran Muffin, who won Is
races before she was retired to the
stud farm.
Except for these two bids. and
three others for So 900, the sales got
away to a none too bright start
financially. A total of so head were
sold for s66,350, or an average of
s1,327, recalling the 1910 auction,
when the average purchase price fell
below $4,000 for the first time in
years.

Senate and Cummins
Tens JoIted From
SoftbaII Event
Carr and PIozo Teums
Score Big Upsets in
Mid-AtIuntic Comes

The third annual Middle Atlantic
softball tournament at Ballston
Stadium is a wide-open scramble
now with two of the supposedly
strong teams shelled from the COM
petition in a single night.
Senate Beer, defending champion,
was the victim of the biggest sur
prise when 1t fell before Carr Bros.
6s Boswell, 4-3, and the second jolt
occurred when Plaza Wine slugged
out a 6-3 win over the powerful
Cummins Construction of Balti-
more.
In upsetting the Senates, Carr
Bros. tailed all its runs IN the third
inning when it drove Billy Sullivan
from the mound with four singles
combined with pair OF errors.
Ray Wrenn. former Western High
footballer, turned in the top per-
formance in the Plaza -Cummins
game with two successive home runs,
the first with two on the bases.
Play in the tournament continues
tonight with Overnight Transpor-
tation of Baltimore invading for the
feature game against Pepco at 9:15.

CorrosqueI, Pitching Enigma,
Gets His First Chance as
Starter Against Yonks

There are times when he has as
much on the ball as anybody in the
league. If he could be infected with
ambition, he probably would make
a helluva pitcher -
Clubhouse boys around the circuit
as we'll as at Grifith Stadium would
like to see Carrasquel remain on the
major league scene for several years.
The boys who fetch sandwiches and
run numerous other errands for
players say Carrasquel is one of the
leagues better tippers. He is no
miser.
Chase Beaten Again.
Ken Chase was miserly with hits
for four innings yesterday, but when
the Yankees got to him they weren't
delicate about it. Chase was pre-
sented a 20 lead through the me-
dunn of a Jim Vernon fly that
scored Doc Crsmer from third in
the first inning and Vernon's fourth
inning homer over the right-fleld
fence. 1t was Vernon's seventh
homer of the year.
Chase entered the fifth inning
with only one hit against him, but
Charley Keller blasted a triple to
the center-field wall and Phil Riz-
zuto followed with triple down the
left-field line. Rizzuto scored with
the run that made it % as Chase
took Steve Peek's bounder and
threw him out.
In the sixth the Yankees mauled
Chase for three runs, Sandwiching
two singles and sacrifice among
three walks, and in the seventh
they added two more runs on Joe
Di Maggio's triple, Joe Gordon's
bunt and Buddy Rosar's triple.
The Mats had picked up run in
the sixth on Cramer's triple and
Lewis single and in the eighth re-
duced New York's lead to IA as
Lewis walked, took third on Travis
single and scored after Vernon flied
to Di Maggie.
Rally Falls Short.
With one out in the ninth Peek
walked Jimmy Bloodworth and
Pinch Hitter Buddy Myer and thus
walked himself out of the game.
Relief Pitcher Johnny Murphy's
first act consisted of throwing a
single to George Case that filled the
bases and Bloodworth scored after
Cramer flied to Keller.
Lewis walked to place Myer on
second base with the potential tying
run, but Travis grounded out to First
Baseman Johnny Sturm-and Chase
absorbed his 18th trimming of the
season.
Opposing Carrasquel today was to
be Marius Russo. The Athletics will
play here tomorrow night and
Thursday, with the Mats opening a
four game series with the Red Sox
at Boston on Friday.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Midway in the invigorating month
Of April when the Mats had lost only
two games (because they had played
only two games, Algernon), big Ale
jandro Carrasquel ambled to the
mound of Boston Fenway Park for
the last half> of the ninth inning
with a IA decision to save for the
Mats. He had come to the rescue of
Walter Masterson an inning earlier
and held the Red Sox hitless.
The grim Venezuelan retired Pete
Fox and Jimmy Foxx in order and
in the Washington dugout the bench
decorators were picking up their
gloves and jackets preparatory for a
dash across the field to the club
house steps. Suddenly, though,
startling things began to happen.
Homers Prove Fatal.
Joe Cronin coaxed a walk out Of
Carrasquel and Bobby Doerr hoisted
mighty homer over the short left
field fence, leaving the Red Sox with
a deficit of only one run. That
promptly was erased by Jim Tabor's
homer and the Mats merely hung
around until the twelfth inning to
drop an 81 decision.
Manager Bucky Harris of the Mats,
who had suffered the agony of
watching Danny MacFayden blow a
two-run lead in the ninth for Wash
ington the day before, was no con-
solable character that evening.
"Carrasquel will never pitch for
Washington again as long as I'm
managing the club said Bucky,
bitterly. II may send him back to
Washington tonight"
1t was 10 days before Harris con-
sented to pitch Carrasquel again,
finally yielding on the assumption
that he might have been hasty in
inditing him. 1t was at Phlladel-
phia and the first batter to face
Carrasquel, frankie Hayes, drilled
a tremendous homer over the left
field roof of Shibe Park. Carras-
quel was in the Harris doghouse
and Bucky was tempted to swallow
the key.
Braces After Bad Start.
Time failed to improve Washing
tons pitching plight, however, and
Carrasquel soon saw more service.
He improved greatly after that
sorry start and for the next IA in
nings on relief duty he allowed no
runs. Since those episodes at Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, in fact, Car
rasquel has been employed "a times
as relief hurler and on 16 occa-
sions has escaped without yielding
a run. He owns three victories and
hasn't been charged with a defeat.
Today Carrasquel was to be re-
warded or punished. depending on
the viewpoint and his performance,
with his first starting assignment
Of the season. He was ticketed to
face the league leading New York
Yankees, who dealt the Mats their
third straight trimming, rs, yester-
day.
"Carrasquel is as good as he wants
to be-" says Coach Benny Bengough.

Trend
To Small Farms

The little farm movement, which
has converted many an urban
dweller into a combination indus
trial worker and dirt farmer, is
rapidly gaining in popularity, ac-
cording to c. w. Treadwell of the
Treadwell Company, who Saturday
announced the opening of new
little farm subdivision at North
Line and Telegraph roads.
The new development, to be
known as North Line Woods, is a
40-acre tract of Semi-wooded land.
Carpenters were busy at work last
week constructing model homes
for the development.
This new subdivision will be
ideally located for employees of
downriver Industries, as IL will
be only a 15-minute drive TO the
principal factories in this area"
Treadwell said.
Because Of the convenient
finance plan, we anticipate q
heavy demand for these small
farms, giving the purchaser both
good garden soil and . homo In
the woods"
The first Of Treadwell's little
farm developments was located at
Van Born and Inkster roads.
