They were docile creatures when they went to bat, and as a result Herb Thor- mahlen, the Yankees' kid southpaw, pitched one of the classics of the Harlem seaso Herb beat Browns by the minimum score of 1 to 0, incidentally snapping the win- ning streak of Bert Gallia after the young man from Lerado, Tex., had won five straight games It was the first game that Thor- mahlen has started on the Harlem green this season, and his work was almost as sensational as in the near no hit game he pitched against the Red Sox in Boston, when he was de- feated by Joe Bush in the ninth in- ning by a score of 1 to 0. In the Boston game Herb permit- ted only two hits, both made in the ninth inning, while yesterday he per- mitted four, but two were scratches and three could have been flelded. The. only legitimate hit prodded out of the young left hander was a single which Tim Hendryx bored through the heart of the infield in the second inning. The score: New York, May r. h. a Bt.

JAMAICA CLASSIC Large Crowd Witnesses Deleat *of Campfire” New York, May 1 A crowd that filled the little grandstand to overflow- ing and packed the lawn and club- house turned out yesterday afternoon at the Jamaica track to usher in the Tacing season in the metropolitan dis- trict. It was an enthusiastic crow that arrived at the course, but it was a disappointed one. While a majority of the seven or eight thousand persons who made up course to welcome the return of the thoroughbreds in general, a large por- tion went to see Campfire, Richard T. Wilson's big red-headed colt, which won the two-year-old championship in 1916, run in and win the Paumonok Handicap, the opening stake of the season. They saw their idol run a good race, but only good enough to finish third. He received a sound beating by the Reverwyck stable’s five-year-old bay horse, Old Koenig, and Richard F. Carman’s Startling. Ol1d Koenig won the stake in a romp by three lengths and covered the six furlong course in the fast time of 1:12 Startling outgamed Campfire after a duel in the stretch and finished second. Two Jockeys Hurt. Previous to the disappointment the Tacegoers saw two promising young jockeys prohably crippled for life. Roy Den while riding Adele In the sec- ond race, was knocked against the rail in the backstretch and had his leg crushed. Despite the agony he suf- fored the youngster regained his seat and rode home to the club house, where he was attended by Dr. Dowd, who administered first aid and sent him to the hospital. In the very next identical part of the track, Julius Wesler received a similar bump and similar injury.
