Champ Boston Braves, Perennial Cham- pions of ‘Grapefruit Circuit,’ Are Tail-Enders YANKS HAVE SIX VICTORIES Cleveland Indians Set Pace for Teams With String of Five Successive Wins New York, March 18—(?)—The states. There’s just a possibility that Connie Mack and his title - holders Prefer to hold their fire until it counts. Be that as it may, the champions ve won only three games of eight the spring training exhibition pro- and the American League might be in a bad way in its competi- with the National were it not for the New York Yankees. ‘The Yankees have won six games of seven with National League oppo- nents and thus enable the American League to show a slight margin over the older circuit in games played so far. The actual count is nine vic- tories for the American against seven for the National. The St. Louis Car- dinals have helped the National's cause by whipping the Athletics three games out of four. In games of all descriptions, wheth- ev against major or minor league op- position, the Cleveland Indians set ‘the pace with five successive victories, all against New Orleans of the South- ern Association. The Pittsburgh Pi- rates have won three straight and the Boston Red Sox two in a row. The Boston Braves, perennial of the Grapefruit League and among the tail-enders in the reg- ular season, have won only four games out of ten this year and their supporters are taking heart accord- ingly. They're hoping for victories in the regular National League cam-~- paign. Here’s the way the National vs. League rivalry has gone so far: Club— New York (A) St. Louis (ND.

Likes Spring Running Only a week later he again displayed a liking for spring running in Baja California, by finishing in a walk three lengths ahead of an impressive field of entries over the mile-and-a- furlong route. In this race Sun Beau shaded the track mark at the mile point under the careful direction of Frankie Col- tiletti, who will be in the boot for the world’s wealthiest handicap. Pigeon Hole; Alexander Pantages, who placed second last year to Victorian; Mike Hall; and Challenger II, the British entry, followed in the dust. Turf followers shook their heads. Either Sun Beau will parade to an easy win and become the biggest money-winner of all time, or he will tail off because he conditioned too rapidly under the warm semi-tropical sun, they opined. As it now stands Sun Beau has beaten all of the major entries in the crowning race of the winter running except Lady Broadcast, a 5-year-old filly. But the climate here has been a stumbling block to mares in the spring. H. M. Woolf, however, refuses to believe this will hinder Lady Broad- cast’s chances, and the future books bear the owner out.

One day in the fall of young Nate smith’s first year as instructor in Physical education at Springfield, the Janitor raked the campus, gathering the dry Jeaves in bushel baskets. That i Just which of the select field is likely to force the big black into such a test is the question. Pigeon Hole furnished the chief competition in the Fashion Stakes, which Sun Beau took by three lengths. Vanity, Up, Easter Stockings and Ca- ruso, along with Alexander Pantages, Pigeon Hole and Challenger I, have been most frequently mentioned as the potential candidates. Sun Beau is scheduled to pack 129 pounds top weight, 13 pounds more than his closest competitors, Mike Hall and Challenger IL. This factor is hardly considered important in view of the fact that he has been called upon to carry 130 pounds in victari- ous races. Climatic conditions should be favor- able. Heavy rains are rare here at this season, and only a muddy course can hold Sun Beau back. Not since the days of Carlaris in the old Coffroth handicap, which the race supersedes, has there been such an outstanding favorite as this son of Sun Briar.
