SPORTS A—11 Red Rain, Grand Slam in Crown Duel : Army Horsemen Pointing for Olympics BELMONT DECIDES | BEST 2YEARILD Whitney, Markley Juveniles Promise Great Race in October, Classic. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Astociated Press Bports Writer. EW YORK, September 2.— Some other horse may come along to dispute the issue, but right now the 2-year-old turf ehampicaship is strictly a fhatter of argument between two fleet juveniles —C. V. Whitney's Red Rain, and the well-named Grand Blam from P, A. Markley’s Bomar Stable of Detroit. ‘When Sonny Workman, ace of the Jockeys, brought Red Rain from be- hind i one of the greatest stretch drives in turf history to take the $40,000 Hopeful at Saratoga Saturday, he not only set the stage for the Whitney flash and Grand Slam to settle the debate in the $100,000 Futurity at Belmont Park on October 12, but erased whatever claim any other juvenile had to the crown. Tnjury Checks Test. RAND SLAM, winner of the Arlington Park Futurity, came East especially for the Hopeful with the idea of séttling the argument at the Spa. Two days before the race, however, he bruised his foot in a workout and was forced to withdraw, leaving the final decision in doubt until the juveniles clash in the rich Belmont Park pace, exceeded only in value this year by the Sauta Anita | Handicap. Despite Red Rain's victory, how- ever, the Whitney colt failed to dis- lodge the Westerner as the leading | | ring in 1923. It was Gibbons’ first More Peaceful Than Meeting 12 Years Ago Jack Dempsey rests chin in hand and listens attentatively to Tom Gibbons, visit to New York in 10 years, money winner of the division. With the Arlington Park stake as his prin- cipal triumph, Grand Slam has won $55.260, while the $38400 Red Rain picked up in the hopeful booted his total earnings to $45,700. Mrs. Ethel V. Mars’ Forever Yours, queen of the juvenile fillies from Chicago, with victory in the Lassie Stakes at Ar- lington and Spinaway at Saratoga, dropped back to third with $34,165. Red Rain Looms as Choice. WITH two victories and a dead heat with Coldstream in the Sara- toga special to show for his four starts since coming to the races in the opening day of the upstate meet- ing, Red Rain probably will be an outstanding choice to take the Rich Belment stake.

Equestrian and Pentathlon . Groups Get Final Trials Next Summer. By the Associated Press. LTHOUGH there has been fi agitation to withhold Ameri- cans from the 1936 Olympic games in Germany, United States Army athletes already sre in training for the big international rts carnival With the games still a year distant, the Army contenders have been at work for several months now, one group at Fort Riley, Kans, and another at Fort Belvoir, Va. These are the first of the probable American athletes to enter training. The Army will hold its own elim- ination tests early next Summe: and then turn its teams over to the American Olympic Committee. Games Invitation Accepted. OME high officials in American athletic circles have announced opposition to American participation in the games, due largely to the “Jazi attitude toward Jews. However, America accepted an invitation last year and unless some later action is taken by the committee the United States athletes will enter the games. Army athletes will compete only in the equestrian events and the pen- tathlon. The equestian program in- cludes an all-around championship— a three-day test that calls for endur- ance, jumping ability and show perfection. Separate teams of three men and horses will be entered in the various events. The pentathlon calls for ability in shooting, swimming. riding fencing and cross-country running The equestrian group is now at Fort | Riley, while the pentathlon athlete Quinie of MacWae, cairn terrier belonging to Mrs. Jere B[ S Btk Mackle, best of breed at Cumberland, Md. puppy match, scheduled to take place | are strays on the street. nor does the ‘Won 1932 Event.

Special Dispatch to The Star. WILLIAMSPORT, Md., September 2.—Fort Myer's polo team was aiming for its second straight victory over the Washington County Polo Club here to- day in a feature of the Labor day celebration. The soldiers yesterday trimmed the home four, 10-7, in a thrilling clash before 2,000 spectators. If Lieut. Luebberman repeats his work of the Sabbath, the visitors should have no trouble. The young officer scored four goals for the victors and led in the sixth chukker three-goal attack, which broke the tie created by the hosts in the previous period. Maj. Davidson materially aided the winners by driving the ball through the goals on three occasions. BUMPERS *1 WELDED °1 Taken Off and Put On, 50c Radiators Repaired WELDIT, Inc. .N.W,,Bet. E&F ME. 2416
