CHRD OWNER QUT FOR FLAG St. Louis to Be Put on Bascball Map, Samuel Breadon Declares, ST. LOUIS, Mo. May 31.—Samuel Breadon, president of the St. Louis Nationals announced that his objec- tive in recently purchasing controll- ing interest in the club was to “put St. Louis on the baseball map.” Breadon bought up the majority of wtock from local business men who financed the club when its financial affoires were in bad shape scvernl years ago. Direction of the Cardinals now is in the hands of Breadon. Formerly con- trol was in the hands of small stock- holders who are said to have objected to trades, deals and other details. The purchaso of the ruling stock ‘was arranged, Breadon said, to remove the directing business power from a group of men who were not acquainted ‘with the details incident with the op- ‘eration of a major league franchise to one dominant authority. In the past the board of directors possessed the power to rule. When Manager Branch Rickey sought play- ers, dickered for trades, needed mon- ey for certain propositions, a meeting of the beard of directors had to be called. ‘this arrangement resulted fre- quently in differences of opinion of the directors-and generally was unsat- istactory for {t was declared to be im- possible to reach a unanimous yote on any proposition. “It was impossible for me to carry out my ideas,” declared the Cardinal magnate, “when I belonged with the minority. I carried the title of pres- ident, but was really without any in- dividual authority. “TI have discovere@ that for any bus- iness to become @ success, there has to be one party of responsibility. Base- ball is a business and an amusement. “Enthused over baseball, I sre a great future for the Cardinals. There- fore I desired to become the one to win or lose with the club. I made this y= point plain to my friends who possessed stock and told them that I would buy or sell. They were men in other bus- inmess fields and they consented to sell.” No changes fn the personnel of ,the club and the policy are planned, Mr, Breadon added. Club Standings Club. Won, Lost Pet.

It was the first time in the history of the event that a winner led from start to finish. Harry Hartz, also of Los Angeles, finished second, four laps behind Mur- phy. Hartz won $10,000. Eddie Hearne was third. Murphy drove a remarkable race, taking the lead at the start and hold- ing it throughout. He made only three stops during the entire 500 miles, each time to change tires and replen- ish ls fuel tanks. Murpby was for- tunate in not having any motor trou- bie. It was announced that his total win- nings, together with cash prizes and money from accessory companies, would reach $35,000. Record Is Shattered. Ralph de Patma, a former winner of the event and holder of the record for the distance, finished fourth. Jules Ellingboe, triving for Ora Haibe, was fifth.

As the thousands of cuble feet of gas and helium struggled to tear loose the giant bags from the ground ropes through the day, tae United States weather bureau, which sent a corps of meteorologists here to observe the con- ditions of the upper air, reported that the bellons wous? cneerter « ind from the northeast at the start but that this would change to a wind from the southwest as greater altitudes were reached. Such winds would mean that the big gas bags soon would take a steady flight northeastward across the Great Lakes and into Canada. Several of the baskets attached to the balloons were of waterproof, float- able type, arranged by the pilots in anticipation of a possible forced land- ing in one of the Great Lakes, but others were just the ordinary woven read type which would fill with water as rapidly as a sieve.

LITTLEFIELD GAPTURES HANDIGAP SWEEPSTAKES ON GOLF LINKS TUESDAY The Memorial day sweepstakes at the Casper Golf club resulted in a vic- tory by Glenn Littlefield, who turned in a@ score of 76 net. Frank Firman, might encounter terrific storms in ele- ments which might prove decidedly adverse to serene trip through the clouds. All admitted that the brealt of luck would be a great factor in de- ciding the winner, pointing, as an ex- ample, to the flight of the American pilots MeKibben and ‘Von Hoffman in the last international race when they traveled the greatest distance but were disqualiiied because they landed in the ocean after being unable to make shore when victory seemed with- in their grasp. The balloons probably attracting the greatest attention were the navul en- tries which are flying independently and are not eligible to any of the prize money. These two begs were in- flated with helium gas, being the first free balloons to use it. An interesting feature of the helium filled balloons will be a newly invent- ed radio equipment which will bb giv- en a thorough test. The government has maintained war time secrecy over this invention, but it is said to be miraculous. mz peting with the civilian entries will be three army balloons. ‘The first balloon to take the atr will be the smallest entry—that of Roy Donaldson of Springfield, I. The others will follow in the following or- der: Major Oscar Westover, Washington, capacity 80,000 cubic feet. Ralph Upson, Detroit, 65,000 cubic feet.
