Clark Griffith delved into the him

for his ailing baseball club. The
Mats preXy specifically sought a
couple of pitchers. catcher, infeld-

was more hopeful than confident.

A dull drone emanating from
coulifiower alley today was inter-
preted as "buzzing interest" in the
forthcoming Buddy Scott-Bob Pas
tor heavyweight bout which will fill
Griffith Stadium Monday, June Is.
Inhabitants of the row were not
certain, but more than one admitted
he had an interest" in the pro-
ceedings.
Meanwhile, Pastor, in training
with Abe Simon at their Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, camp, has agreed to
report to Washington four or five
days before the fight to give the
good burghers a glimpse of his
physique. He'll wind-up pre-fght
preparations here, but hesitates to
come in town too soon because of
the heat.
Scott, who moved over to Frankie
Mann's gym after finding the Huron
A. C. quarters too cramped to suit
his style. will train with Jimmy De
Chard, the local heavyweight hope
who was crowded off the Louis-Bae
card when Manager Mann got too
choosey about his competition. De
Chard will appear on the Scott

Derby Interest High

Originally scheduled June at
NeWbury, the classic was switched
here by the jockey club and the date
changed to June Is. 1t was run
here last year.
Despite the war, excitement is
running high. This green town s
beautiful heaths are coming to life
again. Thousands are expected to
attend. though there is some Criti-
cism about the enthusiasm over
hoofbeats in these times.
Some critics-not Newmarketers
are advocating calling off the

Much of the color of the classic.

Sun Castle Well Liked.
All talk of the probable winner
gets around eventually to Sun Cas-
tie. handled by the gentleman
trainer, Capt. Cecil BoydRochfort,
sometimes called the best-dressed
man in Britain.
Boyd-Rochfort probably is the
best-knoWn British trainer to
American racing fans because Of
the many American-owned horses
he has trained for events on this
side.
In addition to the good times Sun
Castle has hung up in trials, the
Boyd d-Rochfort runner also is pop
ular favorite because of the legend
ary belief the horse which finishes
third in the "Guineas" will win the
derby. Sun Castle was good third
in that race, finishing strong. .
1--WE have a very good chance. u
said Boyd-Rochfort as, clock in one
hand and cane in the other, he
watched Sun Castle pound over the
turf.
Racers Food RatiOned.
In the IA years prior to the present
war, Boyd-Rochfort's horses won
purses totaling s4,442,410
Those days are gone for many,
am afraid" he said. But I may
have another winner here"
Britain's race horses have had
their food rationed. They now get
IS pounds of oats daily, compared
to their normal diet of 20 pounds.
1t doesn't appear to affect their
speed.
One possible winning owner in the
approaching derby might have to
wait until the war ends to collect
his share of the purse.

Campaign Progress

There now is reason to believe that
the annual Community Chest drive
will not fail Subscriptions aggre-
eating 1901 ,428.97 have been re-
ported since the campaign began,
and it is hoped that the halfway
mark toward the complete $2,000,00
objective may be reached by noon
tomorrow.
A curious and in some respects a
disconcerting fact, however, has been
brought to light by study of the fig
ures announced last Friday, namely,
that the number of contributors
thus far listed is more than 1000
above the number enrolled at the
same stage of last years effort, but
that the total amount pledged is ap-
proximately per cent less than the
1910 comparative figure.
This means that there has been
an increase in givers but a decrease
in the average gift. 1t follows that
solicitors must work harder than ever
during the remainder of the drive. A
