Pzooklyn has ,proved especially fertile. After the Robins had started poorly, Milton Stock, secured from St. Louis, tightening up a loose infield and injecting a batting punch which awoke the Flatbush team. i Ed Brown, an outfielder from In- dianapolis, newest Robin, made two = Standings hits and a sacrifice in yester@ays 4 to 2 victory over the Cubs. Elierbe, inactive while with the Browns, has been a potent factor in the present spurt of Cleveland, which yesterday made it four straight from, Washington. The world’s champions, educated to expect good pitching which has not been forthcoming, indicated what other teams in the American league may expect if the five star staff rounds into form, by beating St. Louls, 5 to 0, as Waite Hoyt pitch- ed one of his few good games this season. Babe Ruth added a new stunt to his repertoire by catching a ball thrown from a dirgible from a height which is said to have equal- led that of the Washington monu- ment from which Gabby Street once caught a thrown baseball. 583 578 532 488 457 396 349 Cincinnati - Boston -.

Hildreth, veteran trainer for the Rancocas Stables, whose entries have been sweeping eastern track: this year, picks Grey Lag and Zev as the best American horses to meet Epinard, if the French cham pion comes for'a series of match races this fall. Rocommendation of Grey Lag may occasion some surprise among turf followers who have missed the Sinclair six-year-old from the track this season. But there will be no surprise among those who know Hildreth ind know that the taciturn trainer ly * Grey Lag for such a come-back. Grey Lag was ever Hildreth's first love. Zev his second, Hildreth and the United Press correspondent were sitting on the little porch outside Colonel Matt Winn’s offices at Latonia last No- vember, looking out across _ the track to the blue, smoke-hung Ken- tucky hills beyond. He had been talking of Zev, which was to face My Own sind In Memoriam on the morrow, and of 1 of War and equine giants of s secri just thi past, “What, In your opinion, is the greatest horse you ever trained? Hildreth was asked. Yor a moment the white-haired trainer permitted a wisp of smoke from his cigar to curl upward in the evening stillness. Then he an 4 uncompromisingly: trey Lag.” ater than Zev?" “Yes, reater than Man o° War?" But only the curling, blue smoke answered this, its wisps forming ‘a question mark Grey Lag had foot trouble, and ly five times in 1923. The colt’s average was as good as any save those of Zev and My Own however, Sinclair's horse won five races and finished second the other time; contributing $76,900 to the stable's purse winnings. Jointly with Goaler, Grey Lag holds the American track record for 1 mile and an eighth. As a three year-old it carried 133 pounds to victory in a race at Aqueduct in 149, equalling the mark established by Goaler a month previous, when the latter had only 94% pounds up, Last year Grey Lag won the Met ropolitan Handieap and the Subur SPORT BRIEFS SIOUX CITY, In.—Pinkey Mit- chell, Milwaukee, Wis, junior welterweight champion, won a news FREE—Consultation, Examination—FREE Charges so low as to be within the reach of even the poore: and payments arranged to suit your convenience, Consultation free.

It has won the Belmont Stakes and the Brooklyn Handicap on pre- vious occasions. Bad feet kept Grey Lag from greatness and Hildreth from achiev- ing his greatest ambition as a trainer. Now it is being whispered about the stables that he is going to bring Grey Lag back. Zev, Hildreth’s second choice, needs no recommendation to the American_racing public. The dusky son of the Finn won $235,248 in 1923, besides defeating Papyrus in the international stake race, This. year Zev has been beaten, ‘ut the Rancocas trainers still are confident that by “Pointing” him a match he can be brought slong to meet anything on four feet on equal terms.

But when it came to picking for the United Press correspondent a horse to meet Epinard, the Ranco- cas trainer turned to his old favor- ites: “I recommend Grey Lag and Zev," Hildreth gaid.

How many shots an you take for a hole in golf, without blowing up and streaking the circumjacent ether sulphurous sayings? Professional golfers, who teach all kinds of men and women the game have great opportunities to observe the display, of human frailty in the face of exaspération. Incidentally, they come out with wonderfully en- largéd. vocabularies of profanity. A poll of somé of these #ages of the links, just completed by the Writer, discloses that the male golfer, on an average, is able to endure only 2% bad shots without releas- ing the flood gates of his wrath and damning everything in sight and a lot that: isn’t. Women golfers, the same straw ballot shows, are much more solici. tous about their future after death Their average seems to be between six and eight shots. The reason the women’s average cannot be brought to a more exact figure is that many women golfers have a habit of drop. ping out of sight—around the end of a high bunker—after a few bad shots. Sometimes their lips can be observed working frantically as «hey disappear. But whether they have retired to cuss in private, and ac. tually do say naughty words behind the bunkers, cannot be established with scientific certainty. Until that question is settled, it will be manifestly impossible to de termine with precision the ratio of cussation between the sexes, But it may be considered as fairly well established that the male who can hold in after two and a half bobbles, and the female who can hold tn after eight, are somewhat above the aver- age in self restraint. One of the most striking examples of self restraint the writer came across in deliving into the subject of golf tempers, was furnished by a woman golfer who is a member of one of the eastern clubs, Her saint ly record is 192 shots for an 18-holé course, without a single “damn About half the 1 ots Were spent at a water pre she shed her ball. It took wading. ating and shooting to get it out, but she kept on until she did. She was wet, bedraggled and grim of face, but it/is solemnly attested by witnesses that she never once cus: sed the contrary little spheroid. A man in Schenectady illustrates how short tempered golf can make a human being. One poor shot caus. ed him to swear, by actual measure. ment, for’200 yards. And when he caught up with the offending ball he drove it clear off the course and flung his club after it. Somewhere in between those two extremes Hes your own endurance record, Are you above or below the average? COMING TRIALS) —- ‘yard Stadium next Friday and aturday will see, in the writer's opinion, the greatest competitions of the sort that have ever been held. Both in regard to quality of perfor- mances and quantity of performers, the final Olympic trials promise to be epochal. It would be rash to attempt tg pick the winners. There are too many entrants of equal, or nearly equal, accomplishment. It would be tittle’ more than a 50-50 proposition to attempt to forecast whether East- ern athletes or Western athletes will preponderate on the team that even tually will be selected to represent America at Paris. i But given good weather, it 1s easy to predict that the coming Olympic trials will be the t event any country has ever seen. Records un: doubtedly will fall. Practically every event will be contested by men who have equalled, or give promise of equalling, the recoras “the world’s athletes have yet been able to establish. After this, even the Olympics themselves must seem a sort of anti-climax to Americans. A British physician has just taken a crack at food “faddists.” He say that the very foundation of health eating is the natural state of the in- dividual. Many of the forbidden things, if eaten only when craved, cause no’ trouble, he declares, while trouble frequently follows the use of “scientific” diets. He also emphas izes the fact that tho ability to eat certain foods changes from year to year, Altogether, there is much common sense in what he writes. » ec rheeealites AMS teal Montreal is building a hockey areno' that will accommodate be- By First in News ’.

In the National, three four pitchers are inclined to run out in front and then comes a block of hurlers who are making both ends meet, followed by others who tween 10,000 and 12,000 spectators.

Gerber and Fonsecs got 14 in a game and so did Ivy Olson. There were quite a number of thir- teens, But this year, only Gerber and erney have climbed as high as 13 while Wright stands alone with his fourteen, Young Lee, the Boston American shortstop, has never quite got going because of an injury to his hand; Last year, in the Western League, he was the marvel of the minor league ground coverers. When he hits his stride for Boston. it is ex- pected that he will put up a mark or two for some of the other shortstops to shoot at, provided, of course, the Boston pitchers get batted enough 0 give him chances, Just now, the. no account” pitching staff of the Red Sox, as it was dubbed by some critics in the spring, seems to be about as good as any in the league, Bill McKetchnie, of the Pitts: burgh Pirates, is the most optimistia second division manager in the Na- tional League.
