Inspired Elliott Plays
Major Role in Climb;
Dodgers Keep Up
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

| Associated Press Sports Writer.
Beating the champ has been the
time-accepted routine for winning
a title and the Pittsburgh Pirates
aren't straying from the beaten
path in their quest of a first flag
since 1927.
In seven meetings with the World
Champion st. Louis Cardinals, the
Pirates have triumphed five times,
picking up where they left of last
fall when they beat the Red Birds
nine times and tied once in their
last 10 clashes.
Bob Elliott, who is playing in
spired ball since Boss frankie
Frisch sent him back to his old
outf1eld job and gave up the third
base experiment, broke the back of
st. Louis last night with sixth-in-
ming homer that snapped % tie
and started the Buccos off to a So
victory
A paid attendance of 24,315 fans
greeted the Pirates, who had taken
over the lead for the first time
Thursday, and watched Nick Strin-
cevich outpitch Charley Red Bar
rett. the eX-Boston hurler who has
been knocking them dead in a
Cardinal uniform.
Dodgers Close Behind.
nr1u holf eooo,o+al @l,o
Pirates from the onrushing Brooklyn
Dodgers who matched Pittsburgh S
record of seven straight wins and
continue to amaze the experts" who
doomed them to a cellar scrap with
the Phillies.
The Dodgers had stormy going in
Boston before they pulled 9-8
| verdict out Of the hat in a see-saw
opener of q double header. The sec
ond game was rained out in the
third inning, all tied up, 3-3. Frenchy
Bordagaray came through as a pinch
hitter for the second day in a row
to drive in the tying runs with a
double in the seventh and the Brooks
put on the clincher with three runs
in the eighth. Reliefer Clyde King
scored his third straight success at
Ira Hutchinson's expense.
Arrival of the Phillies at the Polo
Grounds snapped the New York
Giants out of their tailspin and Mel
OFT gathered his forces together to
take a rs edge. OFT had to use
two pitchers. Bill Emmerich, who
replaced Starter Andy Hansen, re-
ceiving the credit, but new lead-off
man Leon Treadway was the big star
with three hits, including a three
run homer and four runs batted in.
Vandenberg Hurls Hitter.
Chicago got super-duper pitching
from Claude Passeau and Hy VAN
denberg to sweep a double header
from Cincinnati, 81 and 80. Pas
seau allowed six hits in the opener
but Vandenberg, making his first,
but not last, starting appearance,
allowed only one fly hit in hurting
| the shutout. That was a f1uke
double by AL Libke in the first
inning.
Detroit was idle in the American
when their night game in Chicago
was washed out but the Tiger lead
was stretched to a full game when
the New York Yankees bowed to
Philadelphia. 4-3. Hank Borowy
was batted of the hill for his Sec
lond setback to eight decisions.
t Cleveland spoiled the st. Louis
Browns first home appearance
since May 20 when Lou Boudreau
blasted three hits, including a two
run homer, to help his Tribe to a
So triumph. Allie Reynolds took
the win over Weldon West.

Pavot Is Close 5econ,
Choice With Hoop on
Spot in Preakness
BY JOHN r. CHANDLER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

BALTIMORE, June 16.-Argu-
ments over whether the Kentucky
Derby winner, Hoop Jr., is a great
race horse or just the best of an
ordinary field came down to the
Preakness' 1916 miles today as
nine 3-year-olds prepared to go
postward in the 55th running Of
the famed Pimlico feature.
The gates at Old Hilltop were
opened early as the vanguard OF a
crowd expected to touch $4,000
streamed in for the biggest stake
day in American turf history. Post
time for the first race was / pm.
Eastern wartime with the Preakness
scheduled for 4:12 pm.
The Hoop ruled an 8-to-5 favorite,
while the odds on his principal rival,
Walter M. Jeffords' Pavot, switched
to 2 to / as the wise ones recalled
the 1914 juvenile champions sizzling
workout over the Preakness distance
earlier in the week.
Fast Track Promised.
On soft track Pavot, which
skipped the Derby, covered the dis
tance in 1:591s, compared with the
record of 1:57 set by Alsab in 1912.
With a hot, clear day predicted by
the Weatherman, the track was
lightning fast
Other stakes on the eight-race
program include the $50 added
Dixie Handicap, the $4,000 added
Pimlico Oaks, the IS added
Nursery and the $5,000-added Jen-
nings Handicap. The purses for the
card are expected to reach about
$l65 900.
Trainer Morris Dixon of Mrs. P.
A. B. Widener's Polynesian, winner
over Pavot in the Withers Mile at
Belmont, expressed the sentiment of
most fans when he said:
Somebody's got to stop Hoop Jr.,
but the only thing is that he might
stop you, too
S68,170 Looms for Winner.
If nine go. it will be the largest
field since 1912 when 10 started.
Others slated to shoot for the record
gross purse of S87,670. with s68,17O
to 60 to the winner if all nine start,
are.
Mrs. w. G. Lewis Darby Dieppe,
Henry Lunger's Alexis, and Charles
S. Howard's Sea Swallow, all in the
Derby, and William Helis' Adonis,
Bobanet from Bruce Lives Bobanet
Stable, ana the Doge, from the
Pentagon Stable Of Mrs Jay Secor
and Mrs. Barclay. Henry. All will
carry 126 pounds.
A Canadian rider may go into the
winners circle to receive the blanket
of black-eyed Susans, for Al Snider
will be on Hoop Jr. George (The
Iceman) Woolf is astride Pavot
and Hedley Woodhouse aboard Sea
Swallow.
Woolf is the only jockey listed to
go today who ever has ridden a
Preakness winner, having piloted
Bold Venture in 1896. Snider will
be the seventh jockey that has been
in the saddle on Hoop Jr. in nine
races. while Woolf was up on Pavot
in six of eight races in the son of
Case Aces unbeaten juvenile career.

The National Hockey League
reaches the halfway mark tonight
with Montreal and Detroit tied for
first place and Toronto, 10 points
behind in third place, hopeful OF
cutting the margin to eight points
by overwhelming the New York
hangers at Toronto In the only
league game scheduled.
AS it stands now, the race still
looks like free-for-all among the
Leafs, Red Wings and Canucks.
There's no telling what will hap
pen between now and March Is
when the schedule is completed.
Ten points is not sufficient to bar
any team from the leadership Of
any loop, and the Leafs could cas-
lily wipe out that deficit in their rs
remaining games.
Looking back on the records, an
observer will note the rather cur
ious cycle in which Montreal seems
helpless against Toronto. while Tor
onto seems to be unable to get
