MALADIES STRIKE
TRACK FAVORITES

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s-R-
There's nothing wrong with racing
that a good, solid horse couldn't
cure.
The good, solid cash has been
there all year but every time the
moneyed gentry got to the point
that it was able to pronounce the
favorite's name, something happe A.
ed to it.
Pukka Gin, Col. c. v. Whiteny S
three-year-old, started off the hos
pital parade. He was the winter
book favorite Tor the Kentucky Der
by but went wrong in tina Wood
memorial and never even made the
trip to the Kentucky affair. Pukka
Gin returned to the races only yes
terday.
Whitney's Burg El-Arab was an
other. For a time the youngster
was the casts nomination as the
years outstanding two-year-old but
no more.
Even among the older horses the
ones with the jaW-breaker names
suffered misfortune. The Hava-
home stables Princequillo broke
down in a New York stake race
after a 1913 campaign that brought
him the years marathon title and
$68, 800.
AS the summer drew to a close
the flood of maladies also engulfed
horses with more common names.
Warren Wright's Pensive, winner
of the Kentucky Derby and the
Preakness, was retired yesterday
after losing eight in a row. Earlier,
Sun Again from the same stable
was withdrawn.
Other top flight horses, of whom
great things were expected last
spring, that have been retired or
sent to their stables for repairs in

Parker and currently the foremost
three-year old, likely will make his
next start in the $4,000 Lawrence

a meeting with Twilight Tear, ace
Of Wright's shrunken string is not
probable.
Ben Jones. Calumet trainer, said
today that Twilight Tear, regarded
as the horse of the year in some
circles and universally as the
queen of the three-year olds, lost
weight when shipped to New York
from Chicago and was not at her
best. He gave no indication when
she might return to form.

BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Sept. 19-tR-We
were thumb licking our way
through a 34-year-old baseball book
trying to dig up something on the
great Chicago Cub team Of 1906
when we were sidetra cked by some
data on the 1909 major league
season.
1t concerned catchers, and in.
dictated that when receivers 60 in

secutive games, and frankie
Hayes OF the athletics, who hadn' 7
missed one of the 142 the Phila-
delphia athletics lad pl ed.
1t was back in 1909 ha; George
Gibson Of the Pirates caught 1873
consecutive Zines for National
legue record that stood until Muel-
Ter betters" it this year 1t is noted
in the an'". nj tome n II Gibson
undoubtedly could have caught
every game, but he was given =
rest during the flag end OF the
campaign as the BUGS clinehed the
pennant fairly early. At that, he
participated in $50 games.
The guy who just misses usually
is quickly forgotten, so the feat OF
Gabby street that same year gen
orally is overlooked. 1t was the
year after Gabby had gathered
some fame by catching ball drop

ment, chinch for a gent who had
been sharing those aspirin tablets
Walter johnson was throwing at
that time.
Anyway, Street participated in

the 140-game mark for the season.

years later.
The Rehm incident, Of course,

The report that there was a reg

the curb the next night waiting to
be kidnapped is without truth.
Gabby's disappearance had no
such intriguing angle. Our book
merely gives the rather hazy in
formation that Street would have
raised his total but for quitting
the nationals; laying off, or becom-
ing lost, or something or other,
in midseason. He was gone a week
or So"
At any rate, he finished the sea-
son with total Of 1877 games,
really an iron-man stunt, and until
this year there probably weren't
two major league catchers who
could boast the combined totals of
Gibson and Street for one season. S

St. Mary's Fliers Long
On Speed, Enthusiasm,

ST. MARY's COLLEGE, Calf,
Sept. 19.-R-In the limited hours
available from the more important
lob of producing naval aviators,
the St. Mary's Pre- Flight school
is assembling a 1914 football team
which is noticeably lacking in big
name players as of year ago
but is long on ent. usiasm, speed
and backfield depth.
Those who think the current pre-
flight gridiron offering will be bet
ter than last seasons base their
belief on the fact that greater team
coordination and more sold re-
placements will exceed in value
the stars of 1943.
