BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, August 8-—Jockeys and trafners all look alike to Sun Beau, recently crowned America’s all-time money win- | ning champion. In a colorful career that has carried him over practically every major track in the, United States and Canada in five years of racing, the Willis Sharpe Kilmer 6-year-old has been ridden by no fewer than seven jockeys and sad- dled by eight trainers. It is questionable if there ever has been a performer of such high merit as Sun Beau which has won for so many | trainers. Different With Sun Beau. Earl Sande was aboard Zev and Gal- lant Fox during the ‘greater part of their brilliant climbs to the top of the financial heap, while the late Sam Hil- dreth saddled Zev for every one of Lis victories, and Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons threw the blanket over the Fox in his sensational 3-year-old triumphs last Frankie (Cockey) Coltiletti, the little Ttalian veteran, was the most succe: ful of the boys that have won with ‘offsprings of Sun Briar. He in 15 races with the big bay, but was also aboard when Sun Beau fatled to win the ‘;\&om Auga Caliente Handicap last Winter. J. Cragmile, now riding in the bushes, accounted for seven purses With the Kilmer veteran, while lnuhlsrha‘et;r and Charlie Kurtsinger won two each. Pony McAtee and P. Goodwin n;e‘h brought him' into the winner's circle once. Charlie Phillips, latest jockey to| ey e ju ' stand winns ?hnn n’es including the Arlington Cup and Arlington Handicap. All Are Alike to Him. With trainers it makes no difference either. Jack Whyte, Sun Beau's present conditioner, took charge of him cn the eve of the Arlington Handicap, but he stepped the mile and & quarter in 2014-5 for a_new track record, Whyte saddled Sun Beau for his last three tri- umphs. Of the octet of trainers, Bill Irvine and Doc Crawf:rd had the best fortunes, each saddling the Sun Briar-Beautiful Lady horse for eight victories. George Phillips and Andy Blakely had the least, each winning only a single race with Sun Beau. C. W. Carroll, who brought Morvich to New York and sold him for the proverbial song, won a half dozen races with the Kilmerite, while Bill Short, and Andy Schuttinger accounted for two races each with the crack cup per- former.

As he proved he was willing to meet Max Schmeling or Jack Sharkey, it can hardly be said that he is ducking the tough ones. The courts held him out of the Sharkey match to meet Schmeling and Schme- ling won't be around when the Sep- tember date arrives. There seems to be no particular rea- son why Carnera should not be al- lowed to fight some one who can fight— at least a little. The Sharkey match may be revived, and after his experi- ence with a 189-pounder, Sharkey would probably rather let his next op- ponent put on an extra hundred pounds 50 as to enlarge the size of the target. It would be a queer experience for a heavyweight jo jump from a 169- pound fighter into the 275-pound class, but, as we under- stand it, variety is supposed to be the spice of life. And this would be vari- ety enough to st for some time. Most of those knocked out by Carnera don't be- Jong in the ring with soybody. But as the Schmelings "and Sharkeys have been denied him, the blame can hardly te placed n _his wide- ad shoulders. Maybe he can fight in a big test and maybe he can't a lick.

SLUGGING OF PHILS REMAINS FRUTLESS Cards’ Pitchers Continue to Carry Load as They Go Eight Games Ahead. BY HUGH §. FULLERTON, Jr, Associated Press Sports Writer. NE of the great contrasts in base ball is found in the first and seventh place teams of the National League—the St. Louis Cardinals and the Phillies. For a couple of years the Phils have been consid- ered as a great team except for its pitching staff, while the Cards have put mound work & bit above the other departments of play. This year a less lively ball was ex- pected to bring some sort of change in the results, but the Phils continue to belt the ball at a t rate without getting anvwhere in the , while the ‘Cardinal hurlers have put St. Louis far ahead.
