Old-time sandlot stars, many
OF whom hadn't met in a score
of years, had an unofficial re-
union on the South Ellipse dia-
mond yesterday as the Heurich
Brewers and All-Stars battled
to an 8-inning, A tie in the
Monk Fraser memorial game.
And when it was over most OF
them were humming the tinpan
alley ditty, ''Why Don't We Do
This More Often?"
"All we need Is an excuse"
said Vic Gauzza when the ques-
ton was put to him. AN an
nual game would help put more
interest in local baseball and we
could pick a team to play the
city champions right here on the
Ellipse. This is where the game
belongs. We might even give
team of oldtimers a couple OF
innings to show the youngsters
how they played the game" said
the sandlot commissioner.
The turnout of some 1,500 fans
was q sight for sore eyes, with
Washington's most famous anna
teurs passing in review. Bernie
McClarney was showing q picture
of Monk when he played for the
old Agriculture nine. Johnny
Fitzgerald, who must have been
in hiding, turned up In q bright
new straw hat. Johnny, an out
fielder, was recalled from the
minors by the Chicago Cubs
years ago, but stopped of in
washington to visit the folks.
He caught one game for the
Aloysius Club, broke a finger
running his batting grip-and
lost his big chance.
George Cox, veteran bowling
and billiards ofncial. wanted to
argue that Curley Byrd was
better pitcher than Lem Owen.
and Mooney Lynn, a catcher,
was telling how fans referred to
himself and Pitcher Gerald Fer
guson as the Gallaudet College
battery. Ferguson, who was on
deck yesterday, attended the col
lege and taught the sign Ian
guage to Mooney, who was hard
OF hearing.
Lefty McIntire was around, Of
course, telling about pitching for
North Beach in the Southern
Maryland League. This Is Lefty's
2oth or 30th year in baseball
he isn't sure which-and he still
takes a regular turn on the hill

Happy" Quigley topped of a
perfect day by forgetting where
he parked his car and walking
around the Ellipse twice before
finding it.
II wouldn't mind losing the
car" he said, but ! need the
tools in it."
AS for the ball game itself, it
was fast and exciting enough to
keep the veterans interested.
Jerry Zanelottis sparkling base
running in the last. frame, which
brought in the All-Stars' fourth
and tying run. and Monk Bar
bees diving catch in centerfield
for the Brewers, high lighted the
game. The All-Stars, managed
by Fee Collier, who was assisted
by Walter Morris and Morris
Clark, drew first blood in the
first inning when Hal Krug
tripled and Bob Dehner singled.
Singles by Harry Martin and
Charley Massey. Bernie Goods
walk and Roy McNeil's infield
out got them two more in the
sixth. Zanelotti walked In the
eighth, stole second and went to
third on an accompanying wild
throw. Then came the MASTER
piece. On Massey's grounder to
first he lulled First Baseman
Ralph Cooper into a false sense
of security and dashed home
with the tying run.
Singles by Archie Via, Joe Cio-
mel, Chester Ciomei's walk,
Pinch Hitter Pepco Barry's life
on Ray Larrick's error and a free
base to Red Bladen, who was hit
by a pitched ball, gave the
Brewers three runs in the fourth.

Fine Field Challenging
Citation in Belmont
TRIBE Crown Bid
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, June 10.-Seven or
eight 3-year-olds may challenge
Citations bid for the Triple Crown
in Saturdays running Of the
500, ,000-added Belmont Stakes.
AS of today, these colts appeared
as prospective foes of the Calumet
f1ier in the mile and half test:
Better Self. Gasparilla. Salmagundi.
PARKWAY. Escadru, Vulcan's Forge
ard possibly Golden Light.
For Citation the race offers more
than just chance to add third
jewel to the crown that already
includ~- smashing victories in the
Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
The rich purse gives the Calumet
champion a chance to menace
Whirlaway's fourth place in the
money winning lists and Assaults
world record for single season
earnings.
Richest Belmont Likely.
If as many as six face the starter,
the winners share would be $79, 200
This would make the 80th Belmont
run the richest in its history.
The previous top purse was the
$78,900 that G. v. Whitney's Phalanx
took away last year.
Should Citation follow form and
triumph Saturday. his earnings for
a season and half of competition
would hit S548,200. Whirlaway, an
other Calumet speed specialist. holds
fourth place in all-time money
winning ranks with s561,161.
Assault, the King Ranch runner
who was retired last winter, holds
the mark for the most money won
In a single season-S424,19 1876 in 1916
So far this season Citation has won
$311,320.
Citation could top Assaults rec
ord by taking the Belmont and one
other major stakes victory.
Main Threats to Citation.
The main threats to Citation in
the Belmont are w. L. Brann's
Escadru, who came into his own in
last Saturdays Peter Pan Handicap
at Belmont, and Better Self, easy
winner of the Yankee Handicap at
Suffolk Downs on the same day.
Escadru worked a snappy mile
yesterday in 1885. Trainer Max
Hirsch let his charges - King
Ranch's Better Self and A. j.
Sackett's Gasparilla-lope an easy
mile and half in 2:41.
CoaltoWn, Citations fleet stable
mate, was nominated originally for
the Belmont, but because Of his
defeat by Vulcans Forge in the
Withers Mile must be rated a doubt

Mobile Starting Gate Installed
For Laurel Rocewoy Meeting

Consistent with its effort to give
Washington and Maryland fans a
model harness racing course, Laurel
Raceway's management has in
stalled q modern mobile starting
gate to get fields under way during
the Tonight meet opening the
night Of June Al.
Patterned like the Phillips start
ing gate, the $4,000 barrier is
mounted on an automobile, General
Manager Dick Hutchison, jr., said
today.
Trotting fields get away to q ny-
ing start behind the modern gate.
The starting Judge permits the
horses to walk up behind the
mechanism, with the broad metal
wings extending IS feet to form a
barrier. The gate then is moved
forward slowly to permit alignment
of the horses. Accelerating speed
down the straightaway, the starting
judge signals the break away and
the metal wings snap forward as
the supporting automobile roars
