NEW YORK, June 19.—Paulino Uzcudun airplaned down from | Big League Umpire, HILE two contrasting types of first basemen prevail in the major leagues today, there is a str0n§ preference for the athletes who are mighty with the ash, instead of the glove- play and fielding artists. For the last 20 years first basemen have been judged by a stand- ard of fielding established by Hal Chase. But Chase played, in the {_abbxtt’lless ball days, and fielding as an asset received more considera- | tion en. e ) It was common to see Chase dive into the second baseman’s Hoosick Falls to this city Sunday to attend a dinner given by some friends in his honor.

Max Rires poxers to :fiehim into condition and wants to get as much work out of them as possible. I1f he kept knocking them over, they wouldn't be much good to him. “Any talk of his being stale is non- sense. But he naturally isn’t going to Jet himself out to the last notch all the time. He is too intelligent to do that. If he boxed at top speed continually, especially in hot weather, he might go stale. When Schmelig gets into the ring with Paulino he will be at his best. And that will be plenty good enough. This boy is a coming champion.” Every one who has seen Schmeling work appears to be impressed with his speed and the manner in which he handles himself. He has a powerful right hand and is a straight puncher, but many believe that Von Porat and Hansen could hit just as hard or harder. If Max wins, it will be because of the Teasons Jacobs gives—that he has other fighting qualities in combination with & punch.

This man said that the Basque always covers while a bombardment is going on and only begins to fire him- self when a lull arrives. He thinks that Schmeling will keep punching ‘without any let up. Others protest that Paulino will be crowding Max all the time, and that the German's only chance to win will be by the knockout route. (Copyright. 1929. by North American Newsparer Alliance.)

'JOCKEY FATOR GETS " FIRST SUSPENSION By the Associgted Press. | NEW YORK, June 19.—Laverne Fa- | tor, generally considered the best of present-day American jockeys, has re- ceived the first suspension of his riding career. Fator was set down for the rest of | the Aqueduct meeting yesterday for a {bad ride on Folking, odds-on favorite |in the second race, which finished far {out of the money. Fator’s case, in ad- | dition, was submitted to the Jockey ! Club for further action. This means' the great jockey will not be able to| don silks unless the Jockey Club exon- | erates him. ( As the barrier went up for the sec- ond race, Folking was caught in a jam and Fator took him up until the colt trailed the fleld. Then Fator turned him loose and Folking began to move | up. As he turned into the stretch Fator {swung him wide and so much valuable ground was lost that the colt couldn't overtake the leaders. Fator is contract rider for the Ran- | cocas Stable of Harry F.

SCOT, England, June 19.—'Mid royaity and pageantry Amer- ijca’s Reigh Count tomorrow seeks a fitting climax to a sen- sational racing career as he battles ‘England’s prides of the turf in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. ‘Win or lose, Mrs. John D. Hertz plans | to ‘return her great four-year-old colt to the United States for the comple- tion of his racing career, a career that had its beginning two years ago as a juvenile and reached its peak on the American continent. with .the winning of the 1928 three-year-old champion- ship. o Pointed for Event. In striving to win the race for which he has been pointed since winning the Kentucky Derby last season, Reigh Count endeavors to emulate the per. formance of James R. Keene's Foxhall, the only Arierican horse that ever car- ried off the honors in the long history of the English turf fixture. Foxhall turned the trick in 1882, 74 years after the race was inaugurated in 1808. Although shorn of some of its glory by the absence of King George and Queen Mary, Royal Ascot still retains much of the color and pageantry that marks it as the world’s most famous part of the royal forest of 3 In the days of Queen Anne it was laid out for a rnce course, becoming an established race track nearly 125 years ago. As it was on the King's own land, the reigning monarchs of Eng- land always have taken a personal in- terest in it and included its four-day Summer meeting in their state engage- ments. Unlike the derby, where a half million Britons of all classes crushed their way into Edson Downs, royal Ascot attracts only the nobility. The enclosure at Ascot is said to be the most exclusive racing center in the world, admission being only through royal invitation. Like all English courses it is up and down hill and is lald out in circular style for one mile and six furlongs. Ready for Issue, Such is the setting for Reigh Count's supreme effort—an effort that tests the best of thoroughbreds as the race is over 23 miles of up and down hill running. Reigh Count demonstrated that he was ready for the issue when he won the Coronation Cup at Epsom | from a classy field of much more highly | favored runners. | With America’s leading three-year- | the sole standard bearer for the United States, the race | has taken on an international tinge | with the best. of Ireland and France's stables eligible.
