NEW YORK, June 6.--The Bel
mont Stakes, which has enriched
horse owners by 1881. $40 since its
inauguration in 1867, will boost
that total by $4,000 today while
providing the touchstone that may
lure approximately q quarter mil
lion dollars into the Army and Navy
relief funds.
Alsab, Mrs. Al Sabath's Preakness
winner, and Shut Out, the Kentucky
Derby champion from the barn OF
Mrs. Payne Whitney, are the favor
ties for the third big crown, open
only to 3-year-olds. Alsab Is the
top choice, at odds Of to 5.
Others Along for Ride.
Six others are slated to start, but
none is figured to keep near the
two over the III mile test.
Belmont officials expect anywhere
from 10000 to $4,000 spectators for

NEW YORK, June 6.-First re-
ports trickling in from clubs that
staged Red Cross tennis tourna-
ments last week end indicate
that the average take was s100
a club. And since 300 or so clubs
were on the list, the contribution
wouldn't exactly give you hay

remember that tournament tennis
is played mostly by young fellows
who have more speed and endur-
ance than dough. officials expect
that similar events July 4 and
Labor Day week ends will do
even better. Regardless of how
much the sectional groups take

Laughs have been few and sharply
separated for immense Buck New
som this season but today the strut
ting Mats pitcher is enjoying a
chuckle at least at the expense Of
the Tigers, who gratefully discarded
him. Sandwiched between chuckles
are sarcastic smokers, reserved ex-
clusively for we stained wretches
who have labeled him washed-up,
finished and otherwise incompetent.
Buck was angry enough to un-
leash an effective brand of hurting
last night at Griffith Stadium.
Roasted verbally after five Sue
cessive shellackings, Newsom pre-
sented an elegant answer by beating
Detroit, 80, in 10 innings to register
his fifth victory of the year.
He was hurting brilliant sort
OF game despite issuing six walks.
He struck out six and scattered six
hits neatly to capture his first de-
cision since May g. when he whipped
the Tigers on one hit. He was his
former alternately chesty, snarling
smiling self and some 9,700 fans
loved 1t.
Takes Constant Pounding.
Newsom served to confuse his
critics. Scarce are the pitchers who
have won five games thus far this
season, as has Newsom, but rarer
are the hurlers who have lost eight
engagements. That dubious dis
tinction is NeWsoms exclusively.
For a month Buck was about as
bad as a major league pitcher can
be- He was getting his ears pinned
back regularly and emphatically.
He wasn't getting nosed out. He
was being murdered to the extent
of 80 runs and So hits over a 33-
inning span.
1t is possible Newsom has recov-
cred his effectiveness. 1t also is
possible he has tabled only Detroit
batters correctly, for his only two
noteworthy 1912 achievements have
had the Tigers as his victims. At
least he is prolonging the argument
concerning his ability, which fur
ther developments will settle more
conclusively

night but he was having ter
rife struggle. 1t finally was de-
cided with two out in the tenth
when, with the bases loaded. Rookie
Hal White walked Bob Repass to
force Stan Spence across with the
winning run.
Detroit produced 1-run rally
with two out in the ninth to manu-
facture the tying run. With one
out, Newsom walked Jimmy Blood
worth and Birdie Tebbetts success
sively. He retired Pinch-hitter
Charley Gehringer on a pop to
Repass, but Pinch-hitter Don Ross
looped a single to center, scoring
Bloodworth before Doc Cramer
popped out.
That was the situation until the
tenth. Spence beat out a bounder
to Third Baseman Pinky Higgins.
White famed Mickey Vernon and
apparently was out of trouble when
Mike Chartuck slapped a double
play grounder at Shortstop Billy
Hitchcock. He fumbled the ball,
however, and both runners were safe.
White then famed Bobby Estalella
but walked Jake Early and Repass.
Griffs Introduce Rockies.
Washington had constructed a
20 lead with single runs In the
third and fourth innings, but De-
troit whitfield that advantage to
81 in the sixth when Barney Nc
Cosky beat out a bunt, scooted to
third on Ned Harris single and
scored on Higgins double. Harris
also attempted to score on the hit
but was nipped at the plate.
The Mats, who thus moved a few
percentage points away from the
cellar, were to face the Tigers In
a double header here today, with
Bill Zuber and Hardin Cathey tick
eted to tangle with Tommy Bridges
and Harold Newhouser.
Washington will introduce its
rookie second base combination to-
morrow in another double header
with the Tigers. Shortstop John
Sullivan and Second Baseman Ellis
Clary were to arrive here today from
Chattanooga after an all-night auto
ride and Manager Bucky Harris
wasn't anticipating employing them
until they catch up on their sleep.
