SPORTS. BOTH OWNERS WILLING TO HOLD MATCH EVENT Admiral Grayson, However, Declares Contest Must Not Interfere With Regular Schedr'e Arranged for His Horse. N EW YORK. October 22 —Fol'owers of the turf today are discussing a probable race between Zev, winner over Papyrus in Saturday's international classic, and My Own, another three-vear-old of note. The excitement of the great American victory hardly had subsided when Harry F. . owner of Zev, last night came forward with the announcement that his horse was ready to meet Rear Admiral Cary i Grayson's My Own, if the race could be staged within the next ten days. | He said he would prefer the Belniont Park track for the event.

C, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1923, On the Side Lines With the Sporting Editor BY DENMAN THOMPSON. | HREE opportunities remain for settlement of zhe. much-mooted T question of whether Zev, victor over Papyrus in the $100,000 inter- national race at Belmont Park Saturday, or My Own really is en- titled to be regarded as the champion race horse of this country, but it may well be doubted whether a decision ever will be reached on any basis other than comparative records. Chance No. 1 will be afforded next Saturday when the Washington handicap, a $25000 event, at a_mile and a quarter, in which both. horses are entered, will be run as the icature of the closing day of the current meeting at Laurel. The second possibility is the $50,000 Latonia cham- ionship to be decided a week later at the Kentucky course, and the third Eingn on the arrangement of a match race for which several tracks are said to be bidding, Matt J. Winn already having gone on record as will- ing to hang up a purse oi $100,000 to Jand the plum for his plant in the blue grass section. Sam Hildreth, the foxy trainer of Zev, has been quoted as say- ing that he is ready now to pit the star of the Rancocas stable and the biggest money winner in American turf history against My Own at any time in the next two weeks, but s assured that Ad- miral Grayson, owner of the Washington three-year-old, will be exceedingly chary about any negotiations he may enter into for a test of his colt, in view of his experience m connection with the international affair Saturday. GRAYSON GIVEN LITTLE CONSIDERATION. The admiral, whose sportsmanship throughout the hectic weeks pre- ceding the Belmont Park race earned him commendation in all séctions, was shown little consideration at any stage, the crowning affront coming after he had cheerfully complied with the urgent request of the racing committee to ship his horse from Maryland to New York the day before the race to act as America's standard bearer due to the apparent unfit- ness of Zev, when he was not even accorded the courtesy of personal notification that his horse would not be used aiter all, having to rely on the newspapers for this information. Whether My Own is started in the race this week probably will de- pend upon the weight allotted him. Admiral Grayson would be justified in passing up the event if his horse is asked to shoulder an unreasonable impost against older campaigners. The question of weight does not enter into the Latonia event, which is over the Derby distance of a mile and a half, as each entrant will have to carry 126 pounds, but the question of money does. Hildreth, whose decisions invariably are O. K."d by Harry Sinclair, who merely owns Zev, has stated the horse surely will start in the Kentucky classic, but if there is a prospect for obtaining a more lucrative purse through the match race route Zev will not be seen in action at Latonia October 3. Hil- dreth overlooks no bets where cash is involved. PUBLIC OPINION DEMANDS TEST. Public opinion, which caused promoters of the international race many uneasy moments and forced them at least to name My Own as first alternate for Zev, is that the turf title will not be de- cided until the two coits have met over a championship route with conditions favoring neither one nor the other. Admiral Grayson, who already has passed up the opportunity to win many thousands of dollars in purses through withholding My Own from | various events in the hope of an opportunity to demonstrate that his | three-year-old is a real champion, is not likely to ship his colt about the | country on any more wild goose chases. Only a chance to meet a test under fair and equitable conditions will bring response from the Wash- ington owner, and it remains to be seen whether this is afforded.

SUCCESS IN HIS NEW ROLE FAR FROM BEING ASSURED Prowess as Performer No Guarantee of Qualifica- tions as Leader, But Job Will Be Lighter If He Is Able to Play PPOINTMENT of George Sisler as pilot of the Browns for next season, announced by Business Manager Friel yesterday and which has been anticipated since Lee Fohl was let out when Bob Quinn quit the club to become president of the Red Sox before the close of the recent season, undoubtedly will meet with the approval of a great ma- jority of St. Louis fans, with whom Sisler is an idol, but whether Sisler will be able to improve on the results obtained by his predecessor is purely a matter for conjecture. : Sisler, who is but thirty years old, will be one of the youngest ma agers in the big leagues, and, never having had any experience, his qual fications for the job remain to be demonstrated. Before he was stricken with the eye trouble that kept him out of the line-up throughout this year Sisler attained fame first as a pitcher, then an outfielder and finally a first baseman unequaled in the history of base ball, and earned the reputation of being one of the greatest bats- men the game ever produced.

In 1932 Sisler reached purply heights never before attained by an American League player. He batted. 1420, the highest mark by a fraction of a point ever registered in the junior major circuit. He was se- lected as the most valuable player g the year in hi league. During the winter of 1922-23, how- ever, the great first baseman fell a victim to a nervous disorder affecting the einus. His vision was so impaired {that he was forced to sit in the { grandstand at St. Louis for most of the season watching his team through i heavy smoked glasses. Toward the close of the season, however, he im- i proved to such an extent that he was able to_drive an automobile and pla golf. Whether he ever will be able to enter the ranks as a player again, however, still is a matter of con- | jecture, Sisler entered the American Leagu {in June, 1915, from the Univ 3 jof Michigan, where he had been a | star of incomparable ability for thr | seasons.

The Columbia was chosen by the American race committee on the ves- | sel's showing yesterday in an elim- | ination race off this port. The race was unfinished because of lignt airs. The Columbia, built this season, ran away from her competitors, the Henry Ford and Ellzabeth Howard. The Ford, believed by many to be the logical contender for the interna- tional trophy, was badly beaten by the Columbia.

It certainly will be no easy task to boost seven other clubs of the league up to the point where they will have a fighting chance with the Yanks. Miiler Huggins has equaled the record of Hugh Jennings for manag- | ing championship teams, and he has gone Jennings one better by man- | aging a winning world series team. Huggins has been criticized free by some who have axes to grind, others who are not expert in base ball, and by many who follow the noisier crowd. But the thinkers within League know what power and skill Huggins possesses as a manager. When Col T. L. Huston was part owner of the Yanks he lacked a | proper appreciation of Huggins’ abil- ities, due largely to his listening to criticisms by persons who have yet to prove any satisfactory knowledge of how to manage a ball club. Now that Col. Huston has sold out, the friction has ceased, and the Yanks, under Huggins, are running like a well oiled machine. Huggins has proved his ability by results, and now there are a lot of club owners who are figuring how they can strengthen their teams to give him a better fight next year. i | Mast of them know what they need.
