Word comes from Chicago that
Larry Amadee, a. popular Negro

with Bratton has helped Honeyboy
into a position where he's challeng-

Immediately for their rematch on

CYO gym there.
Kapilow writes that there was a
touch of luck, plus overconfdence
on his part, that led to Hursey's S
41-second knockout win in their
last fight. Il never was, in better
shape" he says, nor was ever more
confident of winning fight than 1
was when I met Hursey. I never
underrated Smuggy, understand, but
I simply felt could take him.
Il never had been knocked out
before, and I knew I could take a
punch as well as give one. That fight
taught me a sweet lesson; I'll never
again go into a fight without warm

tune to run up against Ann Gray,
who has held monopoly on champ

Virginia for the last four or five
years.
Now I want to find out how good
I am in my own class. The trouble
is, they banned me from the Rec

Beckett, a sophomore at Tech

pitches and catches, and, in fact,
he does everything and does it. well :"
Beckett is washington boy, but
makes the~trip out to Prince Georges
daily. HE likes the style of ball we
play out here" explains Elias.
A surprising thing about King Is
that he plays ball in the insect

to boys in the upper age bracket.

fielder and adds, "for a little fellow

KIeberg Fi|Iy Second
In History 10 Take
Rich Chicago Race
By the AsxocioteG Press

CHICAGO, July 26.-But Why
Not, sleek 3-year-old daughter OF
Blue Larkspur, dazzled a sweltering
crowd of $1,000 today by winning
the $4,000 Arlington classic and
running the legs off the Calumet
Farms championship contender,
Fervent, the 4-to-5 favorite.
The winner, owned by Robert j..
Kleberg of Texas and stablemate
of the famed Assault, became the
second filly in the 19-year history
of the race to Winit.
But Why Not, ridden by Jockey
Warren Mehrtens, hard riding lad
from Brooklyn. overhauled the
fast-breaking Fervent a second or
two after the start and stuck right
there for the mile and a quarter
journey to beat Fervent by three
quarters of length.
Cosmic Bomb Runs Third.
In third place, another length
back, came William Helis' Cosmic
Bomb. Seven and one half lengths
separated Cosmic Bomb from the
next in line, w. L. Ranch's Step
father from California. The re-
naming three were On Trust, Capt.
Flagg and Hemet Squaw. Miss
Kimo, other half of the Helis' entry,
was scratched, which reduced the
field to seven and the purse from
S94, 800.
But Why Not streaked past the
finish line in 2:0145, only four
fifths of a second slower than the
track record set last year by
Historian
Until But Why Not triumphed,
Calumet Farms great Twilight
Tear, winner of the 1914 race, had
held the distinction of being the
only member of her sex to triumph
over colts in the long history of the
event.
7th Win in IL Starts.
The rich purse of $71,500 raised
the earnings of the King Ranch
colorbearer to $155, ,075 in two years
and gave her a record of seven tri-
umphs in IL starts. Previously this
year, But Why Not accounted for the
Pimlico Oaks and the Acorn Stakes
at Belmont Park and twice finished
second to c. V. Whitney's Phalanx,
. the East's leading 3-year-old in the
Dwyer and Empire City Stakes. In
the former, also a mile and one
quarter affair, Phalanx scored only
by a neck.
But Why Not's victory today ap-
peared to be accomplished rather
easily, for Fervent, ridden by Doug
Dodson, was not an early factor.
Fervent also had trouble getting by
Cosmic Bomb entering the home
stretch. Dodson took him to the
outside and lost more ground against
the hard hitting filly,
Fervent thus takes his place
alongside other victims of the stake
that has been called the graveyard
of champions. These include As
sault, defeated last year, WhlrlaWay,
another Calumet colt; Bimelech and
Johnstown.
Winner Returns S12.20.
Third choice in the wagering, But
Why Not paid 1920, "a and So. Fer
vent returned $3.50 and 1920. Co.'S
mic Bomb paid s420 to show.
But Why Not's victory was
source of great satisfaction to Max
Hirsch, who conditions her. He sent
Assault out for his losing effort in
the 1916 classic.
The time made by But Why Not, a
Bradley-bred daughter of Blue
Larkspur-Be Like Nom, was sensa-
tional. Only two horses, Omaha IN
1885 and Shut Out in 1912, won
Classic in faster time. Their time
was an identical 2:0125.

level and weighs ITS pounds. bunker
leaped 50 inches in the high-jumr
