in Chicago and otherwise com- piled a sparkling skein, Occupa- ton, 8 brown son of Bull Dog Miss Bunting, must be regarded as the juvenile champion.
 Yet many horsemen believe Count Fleet will go farther as a Swear old.
 Count Fleet had q record trial before The Futurity.
 Then, in the Champagne Stakes over the lightning fast Belmont regular course. he broke the world 2-year-ol record for the mile es- tablished by Alsab year ago by running away and hiding in an amazing l:34 4-5.
 OCCUPATION HAS MORE THAN LINK TO REPULSE
 There will be others stirring up trouble next season their g. year-old year. Don't overlook William 2. Boeing's Devils Thumb, which won five consecutive stakes at Saratoga before going slightly wrong and being set aside for the Derby. Boeing has anoth- CT, Slide Rule, which, although sired by Shark, sprinter, acts like a router.
 The year saw an exceptionally fine 2-year-old lot.
 Occupation will have vastly more than The F'uturity Jinz to repulse in the Kentucky Derby of ie43.

Count Fleet Points For
 Derby Sans Futurity Jinx
First To Beat
 It Is The Aim Of Occupation
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, Oct.--Mr. and Mrs, John D. Hertz undoubtedly were a bitterly disappointed couple when Count Fleet could do no better than third in the $69,S90 The Flu turity down the Widener chute at Belmont.
 They haven't had anything like him since his pappy, Reign Count.
 But the owners, Hertz at least have one consolation. Long -striding Count Fleet won't go into the Ken lucky Derby early next May sad died with the jinx that trails Futur- ity winners in the Run for the Roses.
 Although the ancient Derby was only 13 years old when J. K. L. Lawrence thought up The Fu- turity in 1888, and victory in The Futurity is supposed to be a stamp of championship caliber, colt has yet to come down in front in the big number at Churchill Downs af- ter capturing the biggest of 2-year- old events.
 THE FUTURITY LINK
 GETS FLYING START
 The jinx started to work with the first running of he Futurity. Jockey Barnes kicked Proctor Knott down in front of the great Salvador in he Futurity, but Proctor Knott ran second to Spo- kane in the Derby of the follow ing year.
 Great steeds have bagged The Futurity, too - Domino, Ballyhoo Bey with the immortal Tod Sloan up, Colin, Pennant, Man O War, Whichone, Jamestown, to name a few, and last, but hardly least, Bimelech.
 Carroll Bierman, you will re- call, slipped Gallahadion through on the rail to nip Bimelech, the odds-on favorite. Gallahadion open ed and closed at 40-to-1. He accom- plshed precisely nothing thereafter. Of course, the larger eastern stables paid little or no attention to the Derby until Harry Payne Whitney shipped Regret, the only lilly to win 1t, to the Blue Grass in 1915.
 Also until more recent years many fine colts were not eligible for The Futurity, for which a foal is nominated before 1t is con- ceived.
 OCUPATION HAMPTON; OUNT FLEET SETS MARK
 But that doesn't mean that the Futurity jinx in the Derby has not been most pronounced.
 It will be the aim of John Marsch'S Occupation to be the first to beat 1t next spring.
 Because he trimmed Count Fleet in The Futurity and earlier

The Standing:

Perhaps the big news of the week was the Doughboys twin triumph over the Bombardiers. It marked the first time the cellar dwelling oc- cupantS of Benjamin Boom Boom Stokes had captured a series this season. Maybe Bill German had it right when he said this was 'our round" Anyhow they can thank nobody else, but MT. Stokes who had Q nifty 378 for himself and a new league record for high three and high single of 147. To win the last game by one pin all Stokes had to do was make four marks in his last four boxes and to borrow a line from Red Skelton He dood It." The Bombardiers on the other hand had that 600 game in there, 602 to be exact. They do 1t every week.
 To say the Rangers are in a slump is speaking mildly indeed, they have now dropped five of their last six games and unless Palmer can get some of those famous vitamin B-I pills for his forces they may hit a rocky bot tom. Two bright spots in the lineup have been Gertie GanglOff and Nick COlangelO. Nick is spill ing the naples 10 points over last seasons average which is a nice Httls pickup in any bOdy's league.
 The LeatherneckS keep hanging on to that slender first place lead over the Flying Tigers and a big battle looms when these two clubs square of this Friday. The presi- 6ency of the 9:I5 club will also be at stake. If Sheik Garafano is still hot (hot is right. he had 375 against lls last week) it will be a tough night for the league leaders. Stay uke-warm anyway, will ya Sheik?
 After watching our athletes struggle through the first round, here's a few observations we've reached:
 Most improved male bowler in the league is our own Nick "The WoIf'' CelangelO, who has boosted his average 10 points.
 Most improved bowler In the league male or female Is Margaret ueiagmeleF. who has boosted her average I5 points.
 The biggest h0p--that's easy, I'll lay claim to that. Who said why? \ thought everybody knew.
 The biggest gas man? - You sness. We'll he's got reasons hasn't he.
 It's too bad Garafano doesn't bowl against the Rangers every geek. That ig from his standpoint. ls from his standpoint.
