Speaking ¢ of Sports ; There has been a good deal of talk in baseball circles that Ruth and Gehrig of the Yankees are not on speaking terms because of the pace being staged py the two for home run hitting honors. A New Britain fan who saw Geh- rig in action on the day on which he hit his three homers gives the lie to this report. When Gehrig hit his first home run, Ruth was on the base paths ahead of him. When Ruth crossed home plate, he waited until Gehrig came in and then he patted him on the back and both went to the bench laughing and talking together in the friendliest i sort of way. When Lou hit his second circuit smash, Ruth was on the bench and a8 Gehrig reached home plate, Ruth ran out to meet him. He shook hands and seemed joyous over the fact. Both laughed and talked as they went to the bench. When the third ball went for a home run, Ruth ran out and greet- ed Gehrig like his long lost brother and almost carried him into the players’ bench. His actions certainly did not seem like those of one who was jealous of another. ROWING SEASON TO END WITH REGATTA Navy, California and Cornell Favorites Among Crews Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 38 UP— A rowing season dominated by upseta and form reversal will come to a cli- max tomorrow in the intercollegiate championship regatta with prospects pointing today to the keenest battle In years for the chief prize in the varsity four-mile race down the Hudson. Coaches who put the finishing i touches today to the drilling of the | seven varsity contenders were unan- mous in regarding this year's race as the most “open” in many years. A test likely to find four or five of the rivals so closely matched that anything may happen to turn the “dope” topsy turvy as already has occurred in Yale's setbacks by Princeton and Haryard, besides Washington's defeat by California. Notwithstanding the views of the men guiding the destinies of the 19 crews entered in the three title races—freshman, “jayvee! and var- sity—the Naval Academy has been made a pronounced favorite to win the varsity race, with California in- stead of the champlonship Washing- ton eight picked as the far west's chief threat and either Cornell or Columbia, or both, as the main con- In a signed article in a New York | tenders among the four members of paper recently.

UNKNOWN HORSE PAYS Bi6 0DDS T0 BETTORS Only Four Persons Are Known To Have Cashed in at 182 to 1 at Homewood Track Chicago, June 28 (A/—Only four persons known, including the owner, bet on a horse that paid odds of 182 to 1 at the Homewood track yester- day, and when the long shot came home a victor, two almost swooned, and another, a negro stable boy, turned handsprings until he was ex- hausted. Tt was the Kentucky thoroughbred blue blood who wrote race horse history for Illinois when she finished two lengths in front in the five fur- long race. The horse’s owner, Car- ter Everett, apparently was the only person in the park who wager- ed more than $2. He played $20 ‘“on the nose” and collected $3,651. He was overcome when the odds were posted. A glass of water had to be hur- ried to a woman in the clubhouse who bordered on hysterics when she saw that her $2 ticket across the board had returned her $610.20. A man near the judges’ stand who had squandered $2 on a win ticket was overcome with joy when he saw he had gained $365.10. The negro stable boy appeared to be the only other person who had bet $2 on the horse. The $365.10 on a $2 ticket was the highest odds ever returned by a runner on an Illinois track. Place money was $138.40 and show pald $106. Blue Blood is a daughter of Pollymelian-Susie. FROM FIRST PLACE (Continued From Preceeding) score from second with the winning does, it is said that a meeting with Sid Terris and then a shot at Man- dell’s crown, will be the reward. There are a lot of other 1ight- weights who have trled to get matches with Terris, but he hasn't agreed to meet any of them yet. Whether he will make Kaplan an exception or not rematns to seen.

Cambridge, Mass., June 28.—(— Boston has about 4,000 too many municipal employes and Mayor Bauer of Lynn would fire them all with the confidence that not one would be missed. 1n voicing his criticisms here last night before the Cambridge Wom- en’s Republican club, he declared that all city governments were “good fellow governments.” Public officlals feel they have to get jobs for constituents and they don’t care whether there exists a job or not, he asserted. LAWLOR ORIOLES WIN ‘The Lawlor Orioles defeated the Black Crows in a fast and furious game last evening by the acore of 10 to 8. Captain Paul Tutko featured for the winners with a home run while the bases were full. A large crowd witnessed the game. Any team wishing to play the Orioles should telephone 1357, LEGION TEAM MEETS. > Coach Larry Mangan of the Amer- fcan Legion team of the Junlor City League, has called an {important practice session for tomorrow night at 6 o'clock at Walnut Hill park. All players and other candidates wish- ing to try out for places on the team chance of lifting the big piize for the first time, but Washington, if its workouts are sufficlent criterion, Mmeasures considerably below its 1926 champlonship standard. Both the navy and Washington bave only three survivors of the great boat- loads that fought it out for supre- macy last year, separated by only a | second at the finish. Although navy has shown smooth- ness behind the powerful stroke of Tom Eddy, the huskies have not seemed to get together. Washington's ‘work in last evening's practice was especially ragged behind the erratic stroke of McDonald, sophomore pacesetter, who has found it diffi- cult to step into the shoes of Al Il- brickson, captain of last year's win- ning crew. “Young Dick” Glendon's Columbia crew, with six sophomores in the shell, has developed speed as well as stamina, It has registered as bril- lant time as any crew in trials over the full four mile courss. With the possible exception of Navy and’ Cor- nell, Syracuse and ‘while not generally picked as strong contenders, have the benefit of the | two inside lanes and may spring a | surprise while the other crews are | busy focusing their attention on each other. The rivalry betwesn Washing- ton and California is especially keen, | with Huskies anxious to atone for their setback on the coast and the Golden Bears determined to prove it wasn't a “fluke.” Close to 100,000 spectators may witness the regatta spectacle tomor- row, according to advance indica- tion. Elaborate arrangements have been made to handle throngs on boats, shore and observation trains. The first event of the program scheduled at 4 p. m., (eastern day- light time) will bring together a rec- ord fleld of seven freshman crews in a two-mile battle in which the un- beaten Naval Academy *‘plebes” will be strong favorites.
