-Hurricane-Spawned wind and

Georgia Tech to a 90 tie today

votes must be obtained before a

Most signs point to Baltimore.
Bill Veeck, boss of the Browns,

Since then, however, Veeck has

worth of St. Louis stock. which
would give it 40 per cent of the
shares now held by the Veeck
group and working control Of
the club. Veeck would be re-
tained as president of the club,
according to Clarence w. Miles,
who would be board chairman if
the Browns become the Orioles.

says he promised to vote for
Baltimore and declares he will
stick to his promise. All radio
and television problems which
might have existed have been
ironed out to the satisfaction of
the Mats and Veeck.

The Mats will request, among
other things, that they be per-
mitted to start or finish Western
trips in Baltimore, since the
Orioles would become part of

Tom Fool Runs AWAY
With Sysonby Mile;
No Betting on Race
BY the Associuted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Tom
Fool, one of the great race
horses in American turf history,
turned the $54.500 Sysonby Mile
into a personal romp today as he
breezed home an easy winner
over two outclassed rivals in a
lavish day of racing at Belmont
Park.
Earlier, Mrs. George D. Wild
ener'S unbeaten Evening Out had
won the $53,305 Matron Stakes
and just about clinched champ
ionship two-year-old filly honors.
In the Sysonby. Jockey Ted
Atkinson stepped on the throttle
soon after the small field left
the starting gate and Tom Fool
shot in front to stay. The Green
tree Stable handicap champion
coasted under the wire three
lengths ahead of the Hampton
Stables Alerted. Third, another
half-length away. was Mrs. Ben
Whitaker's Grecian Queen, this
years three-year-old filly champ
ion.
Ninth Straight This Year.
It was the ninth victory with
out a loss this year for Tom
Fool, a four-year-old bay, son
of Menow-Gaga.
From the start of the no-bet-
ting race, it was merely a battle
for second money of $4,000.
Grecian Queens share was S.
000.. And because four other
horses scratched from the race
the $4,000 fourth money reverted
to the association.
Tom Fool, tenth money win
ming horse of the world, earned
$36, 400 to run his 1853 total to
$226,353. His overall earnings
are $540,165 and his is just
$1,11O behind the now retired
Ponder.
This was the third straight
race in which a New York track
has refused to allow betting on
an event in which Tom Fool was
entered. They feared a minus
pool.
In his last two starts at Sara
toga in August - the Wilson
Mile and the Whitney Stakes -
only one horse opposed the
champion on both occasions.
The Sysonby was the race that
was to have decided the superb
ority between Native Dancer
Alfred Vanderbilt's gray three
year-old champion, and Tom
Fool. Native Dancer, however,
was retired last week for the
season because of a foot injury.
