In 1930, Gallant Fox, as a 3-year- old, set the record for thorough- bred earnings in a single year when he collected purses amounting to $308,275. That season he won the Kentucky Preakness, the Preakness the Belmont Stakes and the Arling- ton Classic. Five years after that amazing season one of his get, Omaha, dup- licated his sire’s performances in the Derby, Preakness, Belmont and Arlington Classic to earn 3-year-old honors of 1935. Now along comes another Gallant Fox colt to make a spirited bid for top 3-year-old honors after a hard- luck start. Granville is his name. William Woodward's colt captured the Belmont Stakes and the Ar- lington Classic just as Gallant Fox and Omaha did, but did not fare so well in the other fixtures, Granville Courageous That Granville has come on to win his last two important starts speaks well for the courage of the horse.

Baseball is becoming popular in Australia. Despite its severity, last winter only claimed 10 per cent of Min- nesota’s pheasants. Native game birds in Minnesota are far less plentiful than imported species. Ruffed grouse and prairie chickens have decreased, while the Chinese pheasant and the “Hun” partridge are fairly abundant. Dunbar Botswick, the poloist, is so enthusiastic about Hollywood Robin, his trotting horse, that he carries the animal's picture wher- ever he goes. Australian track stars run almost all of their races at home on grass tracks. Steve Owen has been coach of the New York Football Giants for four seasons. His team won the Na- tional League title and the Ed Thorp memorial trophy in 1934, and won the Eastern crown in each of |the past three seasons. John Pesek, Nebraska’s No. 1 wrestler, recently added about 2,000 sheep to his livestock holdings. He has about 7,500 turkeys on a ranch near Ravenna, Neb. In four games of a recent series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Brooklyn Dodgers stole six bases— twice the Dodgers pilfered the third pillow. Granville was nominated for the dubious honor of being the bad- luck horse of the current season. In the Wood Memorial Granville was nosed out by his stablemate, Teufel. He went over the Kentucky Derby course without his rider after his jockey had been thrown at the start. Bold Venture beat Granville by a short nose in winning the Peakness, In the Suburban Handi- cap, Firethorn won the decision by a similarly small margin. Yet in each of the big races he lost the colt showed the qualities of a real thoroughbred—he never ran a really poor race. In the Belmont Stakes Granville came into his own and won a nose decision over Mr. Bones. In the Arlington Classic his margin of vic- tory was more comfortable. Gallant Fox and his get have one common characteristic — they are notorious loafers when out in front, They. like to come from be- hind, look .the other horse in eye, and go on to win. They refuse to make the running in the early part of the race, and if brought to the front too early will actually wait until the other horses in the race come along to make a contest of the drive to the finish line. Sons Don’t Match Sire | Gallant Fox, Omaha and Gran- | ville were only promising as 2-year- |olds. They did nothing to stamp | themselves as potential greats un- til their 3-year-old days. Then they stepped out, Omaha did not come close to matching his sire's great earning | record as a 3-year-old although he .did well enough, indeed, in collect- ing $142,550 last year. Granville is not likely to approach Omaha's total, but his winnings to date, $65,550, indicate that he will have a tidy sum to his credit before the season is over. Gallant Fox, with (total earnings of $328,165, stands third among the high money-win- ning thoroughbreds of the world. Sunny Jim Fitzstmmons, who trained all three, will not say which of the group he considers the greatest, although everyone knows that the genial trainer has always (had a warm spot in his heart for Gallant Fox. It is well known, too, that he has on many occasions re- \erred to Gallant' Fox as the great- lest thoroughbred he ever trained. The chances are Fitzsimmons would place Omaha second in line to Gallant Fox, with Granville third. The amazing success of Omaha and Granville, within six years after his own great 3-year-old days, establishes Gallant Fox as a great sire. There is certain to be some spirited bidding when the Gallant Fox yearlings are put on the block this year. The Belair Stud, owned by William Woodward, is offering four of his get at the Saratoga sales and the indication is that the youngsterh will net a neat price. DR.

MOOSE TAKE SECOND HALF B.B. CONTEST Champions of Both Sections Begin Titlist's Game Contest Sunday Douglas, en masse, and bringing all but the kitchen sink in the way of noisemakers, moved over to the Juneau ball park last evening to witness their baseball team's wal- loping of the Moose for the second half and season championship— but it was not to be thus. Midst whistle tooting, pan pounding, horn blowing, hog calling and just plain yelling from all sides of the packed park, and especially the third base bleachers where the Douglasites were encamped, the Moose squeezed out a nine to six win over the Is- landers to make the Paps’ second half flag winners and set the stage for the Juneau Little World Series between the winners of the two halves—Douglas, first half, and the Moose, second half—which is billed to open tomcrrow afternoon on the Juneau diamond promptly at 5 o'clock with a nine inning game. Unique Situation It would seem that Douglas last]| evening was under the impression that two outs, not three, composed a teams' time at bat- each inning At any rate, all but one of the Pap runs were counted after two were out in three different frames Starting the game with Mark Jen- sen in the box, the Islander prompt- ly retired the two first Moose hit- ters, then a walk, an error, a batter hit by a pitched ball and a single were combined to put across two Pap tallies before Douglas gat around to making the third putout. Three More Runs Again in the second—the first hitter walked, but was forced out at second after the next man had fanned, to give the Moose a man on first with two down. Then, Doug- las booted the ball a bit again, and two errors, two singles and a dou- ble steal put across three morg Moose counters and forced Jensen to retire from the mount, changing places with Claude Erskine who went the rest of the way. Jensen was the goat of the game, getting| the loss charged against him with- out allowing any earned runs. Douglas Scoring Douglas first scored in the fourth, chalking up four markeers on three Moose errors, a steal, a single and Jimmy Manning’s homer. Douglas was again back in the thick of the fight with the score five to four against her. Nice work by the in- field saved a tie score in the sixth, when McDonald led off with a dou- ble and went to third on a passed ball. But the next hitter popped to first base, and on the next play McDonald was retired at the plate on a nice play, Werner to Hawkins, the batter reaching first to be thrown out by Hawkins a moment later on an attempted steal Game On Ice The Black Sox put the game on ice in the last of the fifth when Douglas forgot to get the third put- out over with, counting four more runs to make the scoreboard read nine-four. Grummet led with a single and went to second on Wer- ner's infield out, from where he scored on Hawkins' single. Hawk- ins was forced at second for the second out, then a single and Nie- mi’s error put men on second and third and Forsythe drove them n with a homer to finish the Pap scoring. Rogers reached first on another bobble before Picinini popped out for the third out | Only Two Runs Douglas made a gallant bid in the first of the seventh, but it fell short, only two runs being scored. Raller flied out, then Jensen walk- ‘éd and Erskine drove him across with the third circuit blow of the contest. Andrews singled, and went |to second when Williams followed with another safety. But Williams was nipped off first. Then Man- ning singled to send Andrews to third, but McDonald popped to sec- ond for the last out of the game. Have Tough Time All the pitchers had tough times last night, poor support spoiling their best efforts. Picinini kept op- posing hits well scattered until the |last chukker when his control seemed to slip and he was forced to''groove his pitches rather than working the corners, resulting in four Douglas bingles. Both first bfisemen were bothered by the sun in the early innings to have errors recorded against them on easy chances. Big hitters were Roller, {Manning and Williams for Douglas and Grummett for the Moose, all | getting two hits in four trips.
