His men recall that day last Au- gust, when Cochrane underwent a minor operation for removal of a cyst under his right eye-lid. Most i players would have taken several days to recuperate, but not Mickey. He was back in uniform the next day—because the Yanks were becom- | ing troublesome in the pennant bat- tle. “One of the big reasons we win games is that we get dround the bases,” Cochrane smiles. “We make man was not appreciated by the gen- the '36 Presidential campaign. eral public in 1934.

However longingly he may have gazed after Roosevelt; and the other Bull Moosers, he| neither followed nor raised his voice in their behalf during the ensuing campaign. . SOME CLAIM INCONSISTENCY ‘To most of the politicians and stu- dents of polities in Washington, Borah's letter to Colonel Roosevelt isn't quite consistent. Close analysis shows that while the Idaho Senator | reveals himself in a receptive mood for the G. O. P. nomination in 1936, | obviously the tone and substance of! his letter must more than offset in Eastern Republican circles the de- light with which they have hailed him as the great champion of the Constitutions All of the talk of Borah for Presi- dent, in any except Western liberal G. O. P. circles, grew out of his stand on keeping inviolate the Con- stitution as it now stands. Shortly after President Roosevelt’s famous “horse and buggy"” press conference which followed the outlawing of| NRA, it was Borah who said “the, Constitution should be changed by1 the people alone” and not in Wash- ington. ! Now he says in his letter to Roose- | velt, “It stirs my blood to have men talk about the preservation of Con- stitutional government, who are the liveried servants of those artificially combined economic forces, monopo- lies which are now fixing prices and levying tolls on millions of distressed people.” { UL { SETS UP NEW ISSUE ! The Idaho Senator has set up a totally different and, to the conser- vative Republicans of the East, a far less welcome issue by his stand on/ “trust busting.” | « Many here regard it as a deliber- ate rejection on his part of any at- ytempt to have a compromise ticket 'in the field for the Republicans in’ 1936—that is, to split the ticket by nominating a’' man from the West and another from the East in an attempt to consolidate party strength | by pleasing both. In short, Borah's letter leaves him in a position where he could accept the G. O. P. Presidential nomina- | tion in '36 only on his own platform including the “trust busting” issue. e, LADIES’ GUILD TO MEET Ladies’ Guild of the Trinity E 1 Church will meet tomor- row: afternoon at 2:30 in Trinity | Hall.

The son of Display is to get a well earned rest after the strenuous season which netted him over $90,000 for the ten important stake victories he turned in and brought his life-time earnings up to $148,102, Discovery is entitled to vhe 1935 handicap championship on the strength of his marvelous record which shows only one defeat from the time he set a new world record in defeating King Saxon and Omaha, the three-year-old champion, in the Brooklyn Handicap at a mile and an eighth, The lone defeat was in the Narragansett Special when Discovery was asked to carry the backbreak- ing load of 139 pounds while giving away 29 pounds to a horse like Top Row. That was too much of a handicap for even Discovery to give way over the mile and three-six- teenth route. WANTS REVENGE Bud Stotler, Discovery's trainer, lcoks back on the season past with a great amount of satisfaction at the great showing of his thoroughbred charge and at the same time with just a bit of regret. He feels sorry that his horse did not have the op- portunity to gain a measure of re- venge at Calvacade's expense for the six defeats Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s thoroughbred heaped on Discovery as a three-year-old in 1934. The only time the pair met was in the Su- burban Handicap of a mile and a quarter. TIn that race Discovery lost to Head Play while Calvacade had the misfortune to tear away the quarters of his right front hoof when the ground broke at the very start, Now that Calvacade has grown a new hoof and is ready to return to light training it is likely that his trainer Bob Smith, will point him for the $120,000 Santa Anita Handi- cap. Bud Stotler has the same ob- Jective in mind for his handicap champion. Stotler has a double in- centive—first to win the richest stake ever offered for a horse race and at the same time beat the horse which was Discovery’s nemesis a season ago. WINS UNDER 140 POUNDS Sation, George D. Widener’s five- year-old gelding, is simply a weight~ carrying fool. They just can't seem to stop him in the sprints no mat- ter how heavily they load him or how lightly the other horses in the race are weighted. It is nothing for the son of Galetiancolacia to spot the other entrants 25 or 30 pounds and romp home in front over the six- furlong route. Sation was loaded down with 140 pounds in the Full Heavyweight Han- dicap at Belmont Park yet he easily breezed home a winner in the spark- ling time of 1:10 1-5. He took the Capital Handicap at Laurel, with 136 pounds on his back, by three lengths while other horses in the six-furlong times for immediate delivery. Here are some timely sugges- tions for the new home or mod- || :rnizing the present one. %" Veneer Wallboard 4x8 sheets ...... ..$35.00 per M 3x10 6-Lt. Sash 10x12 6-Lt.
