av hs H?! )ANNUAL " Record- Breaking Season Is Predi-‘ed at the Beautiful Up-State Course. ~ By Vincent Treanor. BARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 1.— Every year for several generations horsemen and racegoers from all parts of America and Canada come fo this famous watering place to Grown champions. For the last few years they were disappointed. For the titles in the different classes re- mained unfixed until later in the sea- “gon. This year it promises to be @ifferent. Never was there a larger +) -t@ better collection of thoroughbreds gathered anywhere than in quarters here ready and eager to battle for the different crowns and in the rich stakes. The crowd on hand to see the stir- ring battles is larger but not a record ‘one. But St ts expected that the crowd will increase as the meeting Progresses, and that the session will be a bumper one. If the track lacks record numbers it will have more nota- bles than ever before. Persons s0- cially and financially prominent are » here en/ masse. ‘The course here always has been the most beautiful in the country, and this season it !s more beautiful than last season. Richard 'T. Wilson, Presi- dent of the association, has had a ev® host of artists and landscape garden- % a is af he © Wonders in his trials. “sy matched for a bout by ov _ tp a twelve-r 06.SRriday night. Pom Philadelphia next month, sugoRobert ers working on it for several weeks and it is now a huge flower garden. ‘Trees, shrubs and blooming flowers have been lavishly planted in all parts of the course. The track itself has been improved and is now probably the fastest in the country. The first big stake, the Saratoga Handicap, this afternoon is likcly to decide tho king of the turf for the year. In it Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s famous old cup horse, Ex- terminator, will measure strides with Harry F. Sinclair's Grey Lag, Harry Payne Whitney's Prudery and Edward Simms's Bon Homme: Grey Lag and Exterminator have never been as good as they are now; each has worked Grey Lag has .shown the best mile and a quarter for ‘the race. He stepped the Derby route in 2.03 3-5 handily after having cov- ered the first mile in 1.37. This morn- ing he worked half a mile as a pipe opener for to-morrow's race in 46 3-5. Exterminator never was a work horse, but he has done everything Gene Weylan has asked of him to do, end his veteran trainer is confident he will wm despite his 137 pounds. Prudery has been working excep- *- tionally well and for the first time in her career ran as if she would travel a distance. She has tremendous speed and if she can carry it for a mile and @ quarter, a queen may rule the turf ‘ world. Bon Homme has shown some exceptionally fast trials and with his light jmpost might best the three top motchers. The Flash, the $60,000 juvenile event at five and a half furlongs, will bring together a big field of young- esters, several of which will be making their racing debut. Foremost among vathese from the point of view of morn- dng trials is. August Belmont's Mes- senger, a son of Fair Play and Mis- wsion. He can fly and is said to be the best in August Belmont's stable.

Gwynn Tomkins has taken over the Riddle horses. This is the second time Feus tel has worked for Mr. Belmont, for he began his turf career with him, Veus having risen from a stable lad to trainer while in his employ. Harry F. Sinclair bought twenty yearlings from Harry Payne Whitney yesterday. They are by Peter Wan, Chickle, Broomstick and Whisk broom 2d. The price Mr. Sinclair paid for the lot was not made public. Joe Healy, brother of Simon Healy, who trains for the Syndicate Stable, Mrs. E. B. Cassatt and Walter Good- win, is in the Hudson City Hospital.

Albert Simons sold his good colt Better Luck, to Benjamin Block owner of Morvich, yesterday. Mr. Block paid $10,000 for the colt. Better Luck will race in his colors to-day.

WHO FleuRES THAT THE OTHER. FELLOW MAY LAND & SLEEPERS REUTHER DRIVEN FROM THE BOX BY CLOUTING CARD Robins Again Are Beaten by the iast Moving St. Louis Bunch, _ By Joseph Gordon. CHOES of the loud complaints E attendant upon the recent deal whereby Hugh McQuillan has been saved from Boston's alleged Braves by the New York Giants are beginning to penetrate the very heart of Flatbush in the form of proposed resolutions Immediately after the game which saw the Robins’ seventh defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals out the last eight contests in which they clashed, President Ebbets of the Robins gave out a statement to news- papermen, the gist and kernel of which was that he did not. believe in trades of the sort just closed between the Braves and Giants at this time of the year His reasons are the same as’ those advanced in the West after the Yanke bought Dugan from the Boston Red Sox-that is, that the clubs with the most money had a chance to practically buy pennants and that tactics of that sort put’ too much of a tinge of commercialism in baseball Mr. Ebbets further said that he propoged to make a resolution at the next joint meeting of the two major leagues next December against trades or sales being made during the re Jnr season, except through the waiver ronte But that has nothing to do with the third game between the Robins and Cardinals at Ebbets Field yesterday The Clouting Cireus gave the lie to the erities who said after their recent series at the Polo Grounds that the Cardinals were demoralized and had no more chanee for the 1922 pennant Right now they are within” striking distance of the Giants, their pitching staff is gradually coming hack in good shape (or which they have the Robin nen to thank) and the clouters hoginning to clout he Robins are playing the worst game they have exhibited at Ebbets Field this season, Loose flelding and bad pitching. As far hitting, yester day they manag lace out more safeties than their adversaries, but tailed utterly in the pinehe No less than four pitchers marched against the St. Louix lads yesterday snd only one of them proved effective That was Saginaw Hank Shriver, but he was taken out after pitehing one fine inning to mak i for a pinch hatte ‘Datel’?

There, were plenty of chances for the locals to save the game, but loose playing nipped every rally in the bud. The Cards, on the other hand, played a great defensive game. Stock's work at third and Ainsmith’s handling of Bill Sherdell were the features, Rill floated Nix floating ball just a tew times too often, The locals began to it it with comparative ease, but un fortunately Ainsmith suon put a stop to the floaters and Sherdell was abte to go the distance T core was 6 to 2 - &.

Oh, What an Awful Jolt Those Pesky Pirates World’s Champions Are in Danger of Losing the Lead To-Day. By Bozeman Bulger. These bloodthirsty Pirates leave here to-night. A whole line of noble CHants are ready to hand them their hats and coats. Not one loyal so far, has busted out crying Not since the Giants stepped out as Champions of the World have they received such an unexpected punch in the nose. Feeling very smug after licking the Cardinals and all prepared to graze on these Pittsburghers and fatten at will, the Champs have been knocked back on their haunches. Their three game lead has been shortened to a fraction over @ half game and if matters grow worse it 1s quite possible for the Cards to be leading the pack before another day has passed. But what are we going to do about it? Don't forget the Pirate outfit has one more final potshot to-day, and when you talk about a potsnot by the Pirates you are not kidding. In three days they have shattered the World's Champion pitching staff; have made African dodgers out of our fans in the right field stand and have started a new protest against the lively ball “If this thing keeps on," declared Gus Stein, a right fleld habitue yes- terday, “we guys up there'll have to wear masks. That Max Carey al most beaned me twice the first day,’* There is no doubt about somebody having fed these Pirate fellows meat, They've done everything that could fan, be done to the Champs, and they. haven't been guessing, either. They're still mad. or two days they hopped on our niftiest pill hurlers and beat us with a handicap of home run or no count They made nine circut whops in two games. Then to show versatility they up and trimmed us yesterday by a multiplication of straight arm jabs -fifteen of ‘em, In one inning, just when the score was tied and everything going smoothly, they jumped out and tore into Jess Barnes. Starting with Traynor, they started popping th ball until Geoch, Hamilton, Maran ville and Rob Russell had piled up five hits and five runs Jess war taken out and his brother Virgil sent to the But thi seemed to rile the visitors. The id of a man sending his kid brother out on a job that he couldn't finish him- self simply made them fall over, It took the enemy sharpshooters just one wound to get the range. Starting with Maranville in the sixth inning, they opened a bombardment that didn’t stop unttl seven shiggers rescue had scored hits and five more runs were over the pan There's nothing 3 with a club like that exeept to ce. cid of tem pray for them te and tek some other elu wa Ip the ineap time the Cardinal Have Handed Giants RUTH STILL HITTING HOMERS AT FASTER CLIP THAN ANY RIVAL Babe Ruth is still hitting home runs at a faster clip than any other rerular player in either league, In sixty-one games Babe has made eighteen home runs, which gives him a percentage of 29.5; that is, he is batting out homers at a rate of slightly more than 29 per each hundred games. Ken Williams of the Browns, though ahead of Babe in total home runs scored, is really second to him in home run percentage: for in ninety-six games he has only made twenty-six homers, @ percentage of .27. Then comes Hornsby of the Cardinals with twenty-seven home runs in 101 games, which yields a percentage of 26.7. seeing the opportunity, poured shot and shell into our little brother Rob ing across the bridge. All in all, old Pop Knickerbocker has enjoyed quite a kick in the slack of his proud and haughty pants. The Pirates and Cardinals are totally lacking in respect for our traditions. They even had a laugh for them- selves every time they looked at the World’s Championship pennant so proudly streaming. Coming into our midst three days ago the Pirates and their camp fol- lowers complained bitterly that their club was weak on pitchers—too weak to hold hopes of trimming the Champs If they still think that, John Mc- Graw would like to buy at a reason- ble price either or both John Dewey Morrison and Karl Hamilton Mr. Morrison hung a row of goose eggs around our necks. Mr. Hamil- ton allowed us four runs, two of which resulted from b: fore he got settled made a half dozen and it wouldn't have mattered. Even a home run by Irish Meusel passed almost unnoticed When Bill Cunningham hit a three bagger and scored, everybody was looking out the window, That's the way {t goes. Two days ago those wallops would have made a dent in the Hall of Fame The Pittsburghers, by the way, think that McQuillan, the new Giant ses on balls be We could have pitcher, ought to help a lot. At the same time they say that the Braves will be helped just as much if not more by the addition of Toney, Ben- ton and Houlihan “But the thing that will really gladden the Boston hearts,” said one lof them last night—he formerly played with the Braves—"is that ‘substantial sum of mone: There's no telling who will to-day.

For several of th matches négotiations were started yc terday. The promoter cabled Wilde an offer to come to this country to box Buff for the world’s flyweight title, now held by the lttle English boxer, Over- tures have been made to Kilbane, too, for a bout against Lynch. The bantam- welght champion’s manager yesterday notified Rickard of his readiness to ar- range a title struggle between Lynch and Kilbane, providing the Clevelander can be brought to terme. In the event that the Lynch-Kilbane battle does not materialize, Rickard plans to make an effort for a Criqui- Kilbane match.

CHICAGO, IL, Aug. 1—It EM Gleason's scrappy White Sox team improves as steadily in the newt twe months of the pennant race as they have in the last two they will give the Yankees « bitter fight for Amer {can League honors. With George Sisler and Hank Severed out of the St. Louis Browns’ line-up, as a result of injuries, and their pitchers nee coming through they do not appear as formidable as the White Sox to-day, The lid Hose and the Detrolt Tigers are the two clubs that keep Miller Huggins awake these summer nights scheming as to how he cam best defeat them to bring another world’s series to New York. Like the Detroit Tigers under the leadership of the flery Ty Cobb, the White Sox of to-day are made up of many speedy youngsters and a few old veterans who are still able to play great ball in there, balancing and ad- ding poise to their younger team- mate Johnson and Mulligan on third ave two promising youngsters. Sheely om first is slow but otherwise a good first baseman. Eddie Collins ts the spark plug of the jnfield and playing the game of his life around the key- F challe is doing most of the hi Amos Strunk, Harry Hoopes and Bib Falk are playing the outfield in impressive fashion. The secret of the White Sox's success this vear—-why they are up there fighting for the leadership of the race when only in 1919 thelr team was blasted to pieces after one of the greatest scandals known in the history of the national game—is not* so much the infleld and outfield as tt is little Ray Schalk. Schalk is the type of catcher that can take and de- velop a young pitcher by carefally teaching him what to throw the bate ters That's why the pale hose are {p third place to-day and may be up further before the pennant races are over. It is Schalk who has put the Sox where they are. He developed the twirlers and the twirling of the ones time shattered Southsiders {s one of the sensations of the Americana League race this season. Schalk de~ veloped Blankenship, who defeated the Yankees Sunday. It was Schalk who taught “No Hit™ Charley Robertson how to pitch, whe defeated the Yankees tn the third game of the series here by the score of 3 to 2, and it was the little fellow that coached Gorham Leverette whe helped both of these youngsters wis their games against the American League Champions by replacing them when they weakened in the closing innings. Bob Shawkey started off here im the third game against the White Sox in sensational style. He held them down to one hit in five innings, then “plew" and allowed the Middle West+ erners to send three ruas across in the sixth on four hits that won them the game.
