While young Wrigley is a base ball enthusiast, demands of business in the past'have forced him to keep his mind He has attended every important Cub game, although, unlike his father, he always has placed busi- ness interests ahead of sports But now that he is the principal owner of the team, representing an estimated $5,000,000 business to him{ he undoubtedly will put more effort and time into its development. Motor boating, horses and puttering about his own contrived machine shop have been young Wrigley's hobbies, with listening to his late father's g to bring a world base ball Aviation is another love—one he ac- quired when he joined the Navy in th> World War as a private and came out as one of the best aviation experts in the service Puttering around his machine shop is a diversion that never grows old with him. One of his mechanical urges is to buy a new $5,000 automobile, take it all apart and assemble the motor to get more speed Wrigley is 38 now. ek’s Sport List ‘ For Local Team COLLEGE. BASKET BALL.

Actually no turf champion is ex- pected to defend its title, certainly not a juvenile moving into the longer distance division, for conditions change. The 2-year-old crown is, in its very nature, undefendable, but one can speculate on how the leader will fare dominating the crop of racers, all a year older Because a filly. even a good filly clearly lassed the was generally agreed that this divi- was below par in 1931. Top won seven consecutive vic without being beaten, still she was not considered promising enough to be entered in some of the richest early-closing events for 1932, so that she will be absent from such classics as the Belmont. the Withers, the Dwyer, the Travers and the Law- rence Realization. Failing to run in these events, Top cannot hope to remain the by the Fall of 1932, but ight now none of th { seers can pick her succe A number of youngs both East and West clustered in Top Flight's dust. And though we haven't any celebrities al- ready in focus. as were Twenty Grand, Mate, Equipoise and James- town when they graduated last year, it is probable that for this reason there will be more excitement throughout the 3-year-old domain in 1932 than last year, when Twenty Grand's challenges were the big thrills. Two of the best 2-year-olds of last season were Mrs. L. G. Kaufman's Trick On, winner of the Hopeful Stakes, and On Post. Walter J Salmon's Mad Pursuit was well named in view of its bad luck, but is a good possibility for 1932 victories, as are also C. V. Whitney’s ad Frump, and Fairino and Pardee, from the string of Willam Woodward, who dominated the 1930 campaign with Gallant Fox Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt’s Sweeping Light ran second in the Hopeful, and has many admirers From the West the best reports are of the Nash Brothers' Burning Blaze, George Wingfield's Hygro and Hal Price Headley’s Indian Runner, which ran second to Top Flight in the Saratoga Special. Top Flight will be sent up for the early classics, the Derby and Preakness, and is in the ring for the Saratoga Cup and the Jockey Club Gold Cup, but as fillies are notoriously more unreliable than colts, especially HE in same 50 ou uveniles, it sion ssor (Black Wigures denote Syndays and holidays, the latter in parentheses.)
