Wins
Without a Hit

Paul Zubak. young Faust Post
hurler, pitched the first no-hit
game of the American Legion
Junior Baseball League season
Saturday. but his team lost and
was eliminated from the district
playoffs.
Zubak and his friends are still
wondering how he could 60 nine
innings without allowing a hit, and
lose.
A bad first inning yielded four
runs to Ternstedt. the winner. Al.
ZubakS own wildness was partly
responsible for the victor'S early
lead. He walked four, forcing in
the first run. and with the bases
loaded. two successive errors let in
three more. Faust didn't get hit
off Duke Beattie's tight hurting
until the fifth. He allowed another
in the seventh, but was never in
trouble.
Roose Vanker, the defending
state champion, jumped far ahead
of its rivals in this area when it
won its second straight in the play
offs from Pittenger. 4-3. The losers
went without a run until the ninth
inning, when they found the range
on Bill Martins slants.

Slip the Ipclay

This was. Of course. the result
of a desire common 10 race track
operators. among others, the desire
10 put the ipclay on all the nickels

10 collecting more OF that green
Stuff-and so the ticket sellers
grabbed everything in sight.
Now, Of course, this desire 10
collect money IN sacks, baskets
buckets and trunks is not copy
nphted by race track owners.
Many Of their customers are born
with the same idea. in fact there
are probably more money hungry
angle shooters around race track
than any place else And II was
only natural that the angle shoot
ers would spot this easy-money
play in hurry,
There were certain sharp In
dividuals, OF course, who inquired

smartest and best-heeled organized

no loudspeaker system TO inform
them who was leading nor was

fculties were easily surmounted.

Chance Comes

The chances came the next day,
according to Rapid Robert. In the
third race Jack Howe. a Splinter
which had been burning up the
track in morning trials. shot out
of the gate. 1t was one length,
three lengths, ten lengths of open
daylight between Jack Howe and
the. rest OF the field before the
horses hit the turn.
Sunfish Sammy's eyes bulged.
What perfect setup. Just like
shooting fish in barrel. He wig
wagged Number 4 10 Society Syl-
vester. The Singing Kid caught
the signal as he watched over his
shoulder from the sellers line.
Singing Kid was nervous for fear
the window would come down be-
fore he got there. He finally pushed
his way up-"the works on Jack
Howe" he said.
The Kid grabbed the bundle Of
tickets and ran for the ramp,
where he joined his contederates
in a joyful reunion.

You Sweetened Your
/. Bet as Horses Raced
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

How would you like betting
privileges at a race track where
you could toss in a bundle of fold
ing money on horse, while race
was being run? Imagine being able
TO sweeten your bet as the field
was pounding down the back
stretch and that big smart colt
that only had to break to win was
out there in front by open day
light? Or maybe you don't like
money?
Well, there is a race track where
this practice used TO prevail and
it's not so far away. Take the word
of Rapid Robert Ramsey, the Form
Call taker at the Detroit Race
Track-you should have been at
Dade Park, down across the Ken
lucky line from Evansville. Ind. a
few years ago for some real fancy
Sharpshooting.
Now Rapid Robert. who has
been listed as the owner OF the
good horse Mordecai, Rich Girl
and Briery, among others was a
little young 10 cash in but even
then he knew a good thing when
he saw one. And the good thing
was the Daae Park ticket sellers
practice OF selling tickets TO every
one in front of their wickets even
when the horses were off and
running.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-07-20

the big four did okay regularly,
sampled the joys of Evansville
night life. and sat in regularly
in the high stake poker games.
OF course. there came the day
when the meeting neared its end,
and the boys grew tired of just
splitting up a few hundred day.
They wanted the big killing.
Lets throw the whole bundle
on some beetle and wrap up the
grand stand" said Umbrella
Herb. "Then back TO Broadway
and some real action"
Society Sylvester, Sunfish
Sammy and rest nodded Sagely.
So il was set. The next time
some horse ran up a good lead
a safe lead-Sunfish Sammy was
TO give the okay and the boys
would toss in the works

Increases Winnings

Wise Moss victory increased
her winnings by $3.50 to $13.050,
which still further strengthened
her position as the leading money
winner of the Detroit meeting.
Mise Moss had to share part
of her honors for the day with an
other filly named Meggy. This
3-year-old from the stable of Smith
Baker Sr. of Versailles, KY, raced
to her third straight score when
she captured the Earl Sande
Handicap and the major share of
a $4,000 purse by two lengths
from c. II. Boshamer's Dispenser,
with Valdina Groom third. She
paid S14.
frankie Grill rode the daughter
of Cherokee to victory. He rated
her second to the pace-setting Sun
Pharos until the turn into the
stretch, where she moved to the
front and stayed there without
challenge. The disappointment OF
the race was the favorite Bar Fly
from the Parkwood Stable, which
finished sixth, after placing second
in three successive handicaps.
Only horse to challenge the
achievements of Wise Moss and
Meggy was the Detroit-owned 2
year-old, Tomluta. This Tommy
Boy gelding, owned by T. d. Bull,
raced to his fourth victory in
row in the Turf Purse, in which
he led all the way TO beat E. X.
Thomas Fair Flyer by a length
with the Darby Dan Farms
Patriot third. He was one of the
days three winning favorites.
