STREAK IS THREATENED BY WASHINGTON RED SOX Choice Batile on Tap for Suburbanites Next Sunday. Willie Coleman Socks Record Home Run Against Gaithersburg. i3 a game. HE fame of Rockville, Washington's Gretna Green, soon may be | enhanced by the doings of its new ball club. It hasn’t lost On Sunday, however, its winning streak will be threatened when the Washington Red Sox invade the Maryland town. The Red Sox clipped the wings of the flying St. Mary’s Celtics of Alexandria and look forward without apparent misgiving to the clash with Rock- ville, although nine straight victories grace the Marylanders’ record. Sandlot base ball, which has had a succession of ups and downs | in the last 10 years, mostly downs, is coming forward again with al rush at Rockville, which had an entry in the Montgomery County League debit afflicted semi-pro circuits. Immediate #Mccess followed the for- mation of ca @thletic association this Spring, with several leading business men backing up the enterprise. A ball park was fixed up, with fences, bleach- ers and all the trappings that g0 w make up a first-class semi-pro_plant, and a strong team put on the field. ‘Thus far it has been given only a few hard battles and has scored 107 runs to 27 for invaders. All games have been played at Rockville, where an admission fee, 50 dear to your park, impover: sandlotter, is obtainable. Coleman Brothers Shine. The Rockville base ball machine is of unusual structure. It has several main cogs that perform a double function and probably makes the most economi- cal use of man power of any leading team in this section of the land. Mana- ger Bobby Collins plays the outfield. The pitching staff consists of Willie and Ben Coleman, a couple of middle- weight brothers, who alternate between the box and the outfield. Neither has missed a game and neither has failed %o go the full distance when pitching. t's a small but perfectly balanced flinging staff.

He probably is proud- er, however, of his record as a bats- man. The other day against Gaithers- burg he achieved the unprecedented feat of knocking the ball over the cen- terfield fence, which is approximately 300 feet from the home plate. ‘Willie robably will be found in the South At- antic Association next season. He has a contract from the Macon club and expects to sign it.

Southern Railway, 8-1; Goldenberg's, 18-0; Alcos (Baltimore), 2-1; National Guard of Kensington, 17-4; Gaithers- burg, 10-5 (12 1nnings). A large turnout is expected for Sun- day’s clash. Both teams have cause to feel cocky. The Red Sox, under the Jeadership of Bill Jenkins, have won all of their games except one. They broke even in two battles with the crack Celtics.

BELHONT STAKES T0BE“0PEN” RACE Blue Larkspur, Chestnut 0ak, Jack High, Dr. Freeland, All Are Favored. BY ORLO L. ROBERTSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, June 7.—Amer- ica’s oldest turf fixture— the Belmont Stakes—re- ceives its sixty-first run- ning at Belmont Park tomorrow, with the probability that the win- ner may be crowned the 1929 3- year-old champion. Whether the impending race is to be won by a horse future gen- erations will accept as such a champion as Henry of Navarre, Commando, Africander, Peter Pan, Colin, Hourless, Sir Barton, Man o’ War, Grey Lag and Crusader, each in its time, is problematical. | The problem hinges on the showing of Blue Larkspur, E. R. Bradley's most promising 3-year-old, which won a leg on the mythical championship by carry- ing off the honors in the ancient Wtih- ers after proving a disappointment in the muddy Kentncky Derby. Manager Walter J. Newman at Im- maculate Conception Hall, at 8 o'clock. | Corinthians need insect players and candidates are asked to be present to- night. Clyde Milan tossers are to assemble tonight at 1638 Sixteenth street, at 7:30 o'clock. Union Printers will engage Brooke Grubb's Silver Spring Giants Sunday, at 3 o'clock, on the Giants' new fieid at Silver Spring. Independents, composed of high school and collége players, a new nine, will face the Del Ray, Va. team at Del Ray, Sunday, at 3 o'clock. Inde- | by Marine, a product of J. E. Widener's Restricted to entire colts and fillies, | the Belmont is to America what the Derby is to England, both being run | over a mile and a half course. Starters must pack scale weight, colts 126 pounds and fillies 121. There are no penalties | or allowances. Reward Is Great. Grossing close to $80,000, according | to the number of starters, it will pay the winner between $63,00 and $66,000, in addition to the gold plate given by Mrs. August Belmont, widow of the first president of the Westchester Racing Association, under whose auspices the Belmonts have been revived since 1890 The race was named after the first August Belmort. Standing head and shoulders above the field, which will probably number | less than a dozen, are Blue Larkspur, Chestnut Oak, Jack High and Dr. Free- land. The quartet figured in the order named in the Withers mile, only the| Preakness winner being out of the run- | ning in that mad dash through the stretch. | Blue Larkspur and Jack High were | two of the most successful of last year's juveniles, but there were 8 or 10 other first-fiighters. One of these was the dazzling little speedster, Chestnut Oak, Virginta-bred son of Apprehension and Bantry Pass. Chestnut Oak set all the pace in the Withers until the final strides. Dr. Freeland was only a second string 2-year-old, but he has improved greatly as a 3-year-old, as evidenced by his winning of the Preakness. This son of Light Brigade is said to have a special fondness for distance, in which case the Belmont should be to his liking. Man o’ War Represented.

In the Potomac squadron there are also 10 who have achieved the title of junior navigator — corresponding to a license as mate—and 6 navigators, this being equal to a master’s ticket. The meeting was addressed by Lieut. Comdr. J. M. Steele, U. S. N., who outlined modern methods of seaman- ship and new gadgets in use in navi- gation, such as the sonic depth-finder and fathometer. Comdr. Steele has just completed a manual for boats- wains, now in use by the Navy. J. D.
