The Pie King Listed
As Possible Starter
In Kentucky Derby
BY the Associated Press

| LOUISVILLE. KY, Sept. o.
The Pie King, regarded by many
as the best 2-year-old in Europe,
may impart an international
flavor to next years Kentucky
Derby.
Bill Corum, president OF
Churchill Downs, says the Amer
lean owners of the Irish-bred
colt have indicated he may COM
pete here next May.
The next objective of The Pie
King is the Garden State, a
$l00.000-plus number, on Octo-
ber 81. The colt will be shipped
across the Atlantic about the
middle of next month to give
him time to become acclimated.
Corum said Churchill Downs
hopes to get Sir Gordon Rich
ards to ride The Pie King in the
Derby.
Trainer Paddy Prendergast al
ready is Working The Pie King
on a dirt track to accustom him
to American racing strips. The
Irish trainer obtained the colt in
the Dublin sales ring for $1,000
for Ray Bell of California, who
now owns him in partnership
with Elwood B. Johnston of Los
Angeles.
1t is from Johnston, known AS
"the pie king" of California, that
the colt gets his name.

MONTREAL. Sept. 3.-Two

Scott and End Ray Poole, scored
10 points between them in lead
ing the Montreal AlouetteS to a
15-7 win over the Toronto Argo-

Scott counted five points on a
third-quarter touchdown and
Poole booted a 33-yard field goal
in the first quarter and made
two conversions.
Sam Etcheverry, former Uni
verSity of Denver quarterback,
guided a 73-yard drive for

mainly to Scott and John (Red)
O'Quinn.
The Alouettes also scored a
touchdown in the first quarter,
Virgial Wagner, veteran Mont

Toronto's touchdown came on

NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-Just
two innings might prevent Har-
vey Haddix, sensational young
left-hander of the Cardinals,
from winning rookie -of the
year" honors in the National
League this year.
Haddix joined the Cards in
August, 1852, following a two
year hitch in the Army and
pitched ~ innings. The un-
official rule is that a pitcher
must hurl 40 or fewer innings to
be classified a rookie of the fol-
lowing year.
Haddix appeared in seven
games, starting six and complet-
ing three for % record last
year. Before that, the 27-year-
old native of South Vienna,
Ohio, had done all his hurting
in the minors.
The little southpaw has done
much better this year, winning
Is games while losing only seven,
and has turned in 13 complete
games. Four of his victories
have been Shutouts. His lis
StrikeoutS rank fourth behind
Robin Roberts of the Phillies,
Least concerned over Haddix'
status is his manager, Eddie
Stanky.
II don't rightly know if Had
dix is a rookie" Stanky said.
"All I know is he pitches like a
veteran"
Stanky is impressed most by
HaddiX' GOODNESS under fire and
good control. Harvey has issued
only 81 passes in 1913 innings.
With more than three weeks
of the season left, Haddix has a
good chance to win 20 games.
Stanky has promised he will give
him every opportunity to reach
that figure. The last Cardinal
rookie to win 20 games was
Johnny Beazley in 1912.
They call Haddix "The Kit
ten," because he resembles Har-
ry (The Cat) Brecheen, who for
merly pitched for the Cardinals.

him in April. Smith has won
