By Vincent Treanor. LORGE ODOM Is becoming un- G usually ambitious these days. He tried to win half the card at the Empire City track yesterday, and but for the failure of Sprint would bave done so. Sprint was making her first start of the season, With @race under her belt she might have beaten both Malachite and Miss Puaszle and made a field day of it for the ex-jockey, Odom, however, had no complaint to offer, Putting over two out of three was highly satisfac. tory, And when it is considered that Gertrude Marie wa making her maiden effort, her winning perform anco is something of a tribute to the ability of her popular trainer, The filly raced very impressively, although unde almost continuous urging by Jockey Eddie Taplin, and the way she stuck to ber task showed she Is as |kame as they come, Tom Me'Taggart jwas the other Odom winner, He | showed a sparkling performance, but again Taplin had to be up and doing from the very break to the last astride, Woodtrap was @ very dangerous con tender through the stretch run and any mistake by Taplin would have reversed the result, This ts the last day of Jockey Mink'’s aprenticeship, From to-mor- row on he is @ full-fledged jockey and loses the five-pound allowance made to apprentice riders, J.

For a long time Matty has felt his pitching days were over, and he has ambition, the ambition of a boy. He wanted to try his hand at managing, and I agreed, when that day came, T would not stand in his way, as I have not stood in the way of others, He could have stayed as long as he wanted to with the Giants, and we will all miss him an adviser and a friend and an auction bridge player. But this is not an obituary, The details of the deal were arranged in New York after 1 had | given my consent to it. I will ha more to say about it in my article next week, as there aro many things in connection with it that cannot be discussed at this time, The Yankeos have had a bad week | in the American League, but I under- ing field, attracted by almost $1,000 in stand it has been very hot in New prizes, consisted of dozens of the most York, and any club ts liable to a mid- prominent pald players in the East) Summer setback, It should not and several Weatern stars who stayed Permanent, ‘Then. | handicapped Doi over from the Metropolitan champlon-| good chance to win the flag in my ship especially to get in action at Van} last article. I will be careful not to Cortlandt Park. Among the eurly starters were Wal-| f°! ter Hagen of Kochester, who cap- tured the “Met” title at Garden City last week; Jim Barnes and young! Charles Hoftner, who forced Hagan to| @ play-off; Gil Nicholls, who relin- quished the championship to Hagen; Bob McDonald, who captured fourth place in the “Met” tournament, and many other prominent pros. To-day's touvnament is being man- aged by the Newspaper Golf Club, which plans to make the meet an an- nual event to sthoulate the playing of More professional competitions on this aldo of the Atluntic, Because President Martin of the Newspaper Golf Club has so ably approached well-known amateurs for contributions the tourna- ment will be more valuable to the pro- fessionals in prizes than the national open meet.
