Goshen, N. r., Aug. 8-The SAP 900 Hambletonian Stake returns to crossroads Goshen, Aug. 9, and a lot of city slickers are planning a day in the country.
 The Kentucky Derby Of the har- ness world seemed totally out Of place a year ago when transporta- tion difficulties forced it to Empire City on the Yonkers hill-top. The habitues missed the down-to-black- dirt flavor so strong and well-liked at Hackensack Bill Canes kite shaped Good Time Park on the Erie 60 miles mp the Hudson.
 GoShen's normal 1000 population skyrckets to six times that much on Hambletonian Day. It's day at a county fair. There is the familiar striped tent of the Middletown, N. F.. church dispensing chicken din- ners on paper plates. It's a lot of fun browsing about the stables and wheeling sure-fire feed box infer nation from weather-beaten train CTS always easily approachable. NINE OF I2 ARE FILLIES
 The Sulky game is by far the more wholesome form Of racing. and betting is moderate. Last year. fer example, the mutuel handle for all afternoon Of Hamblot0nian Day was no more than S353, ,443.
 The Hambleton!an is decided by best two out Of three mile heats

CARDS il TO 5 SERIES CHOICE
 OVER BROWNS
By GLEN PERKINS

(Ujniied Press stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 6 - W.PD Long range odd-makers. diScarding the possibility of late foldup by the St. Louis Browns, installed them today as II to 5 world series underdogs against their Sportsman's park neighbors. the Cardinals. whose winning of the National League pen- nant has been a foregone conclusion for weeks.
 The All-St. Louis world series. now looming as something more than Q wishful thought by die-hard Brown fans. would provide baseball with it's first one city fall classic outside Of New York since the two Chicago clubs locked in the 1906 playoffs. It also would be baseball's first one park series and would raise for the St. Louis fans of next year. tine issue of the congested flag pole.
 In addition 10 the American flag. the world championship banner and the American and National League pennants would be destined to fly from the staff there next summer and il is probably significant that the lowest banner will fly at half staff.
 Manager Luke Sewell, who flew to New York ahead Of his team to see the All-America boys baseball game, did not share the confidence of tfae betting gentry who have made the Browns l to 6 favoTites to take the flag.
 Every club is laying for use," he said. Prom now on it gets tougher. We're lucky to have the six and a half game lead and we'll be lucky to keep it. We have to beat every team in the league"
 Odds on the other clubs found the Yankees as second choice at : to 1. the Boston Red Sox at 8 to 1. the Detroit Tigers l5 to 1. the Cleveland Indians 30 t0 ]. the Chicago White SoS 100 to and the Washington Senators and Philadelphia Athletics at 1000 10 ].
 Fayoring the Browns is their stretch schedule which finds them with 23 of their last 23 games at home. After they complete their current trip which begins with four games against the Yankees Wednes- day, they will face each Of the seven other teams in the league at St. Louis, closing with the Yankees late m September.
 The Yankees, Indians and Red boX are the only teams tO have cop- slstentiy given iile Browns trouble nbis season and if they can break even in their remaining games with these Cubs they should have little difficulty in maintaining their ad- vantage 10 the finish.
 Oilly one game was scheduled for today. New York at Pittsburgh in the National League,

 Hn an interview in Che Army magazine "Hank", Foxx said that '.if Cronin had handled cur pitchers properly we might have won several pennants. Our hitting was always good. but che pitching didn't hold up. lt wasn't the fault Of the pitch- CTS either.
 "They ceuld have won if Crontn had used mere judgment In picking their spots. Didn't every one of them turn out to be winners after they got away from Bost0n?" he added.

 ROSE DEAN STEPS UP
 Enac, wllic his Cane spelled back wards, has been Yankee Maids most persistent rival all season, finishing second to the daughter of Volomite in three leading dress rehearsals.
 Rose Dean captured one second place from Enac at old Orchard. Me, however. and placed so easily that she now threatens Yankee Maids supremacy.
 Yankee Maid has maintained the form that made her the two-year- old champion last season with a mark of 2:Os. She eqhalled her rec" ord in winning the Matnon Stake over Cleyeland's North Randall and inthe National Stake at Old Dr. chard. The fact that she hasn't bet- tered her juvenile mark probably means that Henry Thomas hasn't permitted her to show all she has.
 Fighting Scott, owned by J. F. Burke of Plainfleld. N. J.. and Ruth's Day. the property of A. A. Williams of Corning, N. Y, are ex- pected to share fourth and fifth spots in the odds.

Rain last Wednesday evening postponed a final decision in the race for the top spot in the IRA. Baseball League. The two con- tentors. Chase Metal and the s. E. R. A. are slated to have a go at it again tomorrow night.
 The Scovill nine is currently lead- ing with three wins and no losses Chase Metal has lost only one game which was in their first meeting with the leaders a few weeks ago.

Tomorrow night Henry Koch, Bobby GreatOrex. and Joe Sugrue will be back again in their regular positions, a factor which could tip the scales in favor of the Tpper conley combine.
 On the Scoyill side of the ledger however. as well as their undefeated league record, there appears 3 Co victory over the Washington Hills, c A. l.. champions, slated for mound duty tomorrow night is Floyd Holden who has turned in outstanding performances for the leaders all season, including noe hit, no-run victory over the U.

BOY, IS, GIVEN OFFER TO HURL
 WITH DETROIT
BY JOE JAMES CUSTER Limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 8.--CUpD-Fierce bill Pierce. bold. bad boy of l6. vent home to Detroit today, de- batting whether to accept a four. year scholarship at college or a job with a major league baseball team. either certain rewards for his bril- liant work in pitching the East All-American boys squad to to c victory over the West team yester- day.
 Pierce. reportedly in line for a job with his home town Tigers, had the scouts singing his praises am there was definite evidence that several offers would be forthcoming
 The lean left-hander. voted the outstanding player of the first an- nual Esquire boys World Ser.es, !" said there will be plenty Of time to make up my mind, because I've got a year Of high school yet, bee fore can even go to college
 Pierce. a junior at Highland Park Mich, high school, indicated that he probably would accede to the wishes of his father and take course in medicine at the University of Michi- gan. The scholarship is a gift to the standout player oi the game as selected by vote of the 28 sports writers who accompanied the players to New York.
 His pitching represented the chief difference between otherwise well balanced squads. Striking out seven and yielding only three hits in his six inning tenure on the mound, he was in trouble at no time bear ing down with particular effect with men on base.
 Manager Connie Mack, the B2 year old pilot of the Philadelphia Athletics. who stepped back three generations to direct the East squad, sized up their abilities with one ShOrte sentence.
 They never missed sign all day" he said. emphasizing that he had not had a chance to talk with any Of the players until shortly be- fore the game began.
 The hitting star, Charley Per. NAAoh OA SAhNAbOt NAAo AaAsbN1 stNT ond in the balloting from standout player, paced the customers at bat with three clean singles and was brilliant defensively at his first base position.
 Awed by their surroundings, the western youngsters committed four costly fielding misplays which pro yided four unearned runs. Start- ng pitcher Virgil Jester of Denver and his relief men, Jimmy PIopst of Kansas City, Kan, and Erwin Palica of Los Angeles all pitched cheritably. but their eaky delenses betrayed them.
 The only other east players to get hits were Leo Remins Of Lawrence, Mass, with a double and Herb Pol- lock of Columbus, O., with a single.
 The west made six hits with Vic tor Picetti of San Francisco getting a double and a single and Roger Brown of Minneapolis, team cap tain Howie Raines of Oklahoma City Jack Lindsey of Dallas. Texas, and UdO Jansen of Little Rock, Ark, hitting singles.
