By Vincent Treanor. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. Bi.—The month's race meeting here ends to-day with the running of the teh Hopeful for two-year-olds, worth In the neighborhood of $45,000, and the classic Saratoga Cup over a mile Bnd six furlongs. The best of the sea- son's crop of juveniles, with the ex- Peption of August Belmont’s, are rep- resented in the Hopeful, while the cup brings out old Exterminator in an at- tempt to win his fourth cup. The Hopeful winner will come close to be- ing the two-year-old champion of the year. The meeting has been a big Buccess financially. Good sized crowds have turned out dally, but the racing hasn't been up to the Saratoga standard of other years. The track has been more often heavy than dry, ‘and this has been responsible for the Gefeats of many good horses. The going in turn developed many super mud horses, the Rancocas Stable's The latter stable has, by the way, been very successful, ag its color-bearers ‘won many of the highly prized stakes. Zev, for instance, won the Albany Handicap, the Grand Union Hotel Stakes, the Blue Mountains, the Glen and a maiden event. Most of these races were run in mud. Edict, the filly, won the Spinaway, the Troy, the Schuylerville and two other events of lesser value. Curtis also was a win- ner and Mad Hatter won the Cham- plain Handicap. Altogether the Ran- cocas horses had a big month of it. The Whitney stable won a share of the purses, but not nearly so many they might have won had the track been good. The Westerners cut comparatively little figure, as usual, Their much- heralded filly, Anna M, Humphries, went wrong here and never even sported silks. To-morrow will be an off-day in racing and on Saturday the sport will be resumed at Belmont Park. Then it will be once around the metropolitan circuit until the season finishes at Yonkers the latter part of October, ‘The track was in bad shape again yesterday and five favorites went down. The only successful choice was Knobbie, who beat Naturalist after a thrilling drive through the final six- teenth. Tons of money were lost on such as Avalanche in the first, Nedna in the third, the Wilson entry in the fourth, Blazes in the fifth and Bud Fisher's pair in the last race. Maxey Hirsch showed a good filly in Kippy in the last race, She is owned by George W. Loft, and for a first- outer she did well to beat Crochet, Kippy opened fayorite in the oral market, but went back quickly when a heavy play developed on Bud Fish- er's Brocade and Dream Star. Chick Lang was seen in the saddle Again for the first time since Aug 11, when he suffered a fractured collarbone in a@ spill. He finished last on Good Times to Knobble, Nat- uralist and Welfinder after a slow break, Emotion turned the tables on Ned- na in the mile and a quarter test which was run in 2.111-5, The race was a slow process, with dna leading until the last eighth, when it became a contest. Costigan ran one of nis “gond"’ yaces in winning the Amsterdam from Tangerine. Costigan’s last race was im bad one. — SHARKEY AND SMITH DRAW SUSPENSIONS Tt was a busy day at the offices of the ‘New York State Athletic Commission, where no fewer than five boxers and a number of managera drew suspensions Most prominent of the glove artists to he set down was Midget Smith who with his manager, Harry Neary, are to Js to enjoy an idle spell in this State for six months for violation of contract His manager, Harry Neary, was exon- erated.

TOLEDO, Aug, 81 (Associated Press). Two nineteen-year-old lads, one from New York and one from St. Loula, will fight it out to-day over the Ottawa Park course for the public links golf champtonship of the United States. Eddie Held, the slim Uttle 110-pound St. Lautsan, will be the West's repre sentative in the &6-hole finals, while Dick Walsh, a former caddy at Van Cortlandt Park in New York, will carry the East's chances. Each shot his way Into the finals through brillant twin victories yesterday in the third round and in the semi-finals, Held, after eliminating J. F. Christie of Toronto, Canada, in the morning, triumphed {n the afternoon over George Aulbach of Boston, medalist in the qualifying rounds, in @ wonderful twenty-hole match ‘Walsh provided the upset of the tour- nament in the morning by defeating Bill Quinlan of Boston, New England public links champlon, 2 and 1, and then came rigiit back in the afternoon and eliminated Henry Decker of Kansas City by the same margin. Roth of the semi-final contests fur- nished thrilling golf but {t rested with Aulbach and Held to give the real ex- hibition, Ever since the tournament started every one here has been talking, about what would happen should these two men meet and to-day there was no question at the end of twenty holes that plenty had happened. Both players were erratic on the first nine, each taking an approximate 41 against par 86, wildness with the mid- jron causing most of the trouble. Each came in within one under par $4. Held was one over and Aulbach two over on the extra holes. ch won three holes In the infttal nine and they were even at the turn. On the tenth, however, Aulbach drove too fer and landed in a gully, taking 6, while Eddie shot a nice par 4 and was one up. The eleventh was halved but Held drove the 281-yard twelfth and made a birdie 3 despite a sty! laid by the Boston player. Eddie curved the putt Into the hole and was two up. A ten-foot putt for a birdie 2 gave Aulbach the thirteenth and eut Held’s leed to one and it stayed that way until the 162-yard seventeenth was reached. Fach drove on, but a forty- foot putt for Aulbach evened the contest and they halved the next two holes. The long and difficult second—the twenieth of the match—found each thirty feet from the cup with three pei fect atrokes, but Aulbach’s approach putt was seven feet too long while Eddie's was on the lip of the cup. George missed coming back and the mateh was over. (aes Glenna Collett Is Out for Revenge on Links.

J, Aug. 31.—Meadow Hrook's crack polo four led by the great and only Devereux Milburn and the spectacular Tommy Hitchcock, scored a decisive victory yesterday in its {iret appear- ance in the H. L. Herbert Memorial Tournament at the Rumson Country Club, The Meadow Brook combination defeated Orange County, conquerors of the Argentinians, by 16 goals to 12. Thanks to Milburn’s and Hitchcock's astounding play, the Long Islanders actually outscored Orange County by sixteen goals to six. Tho Orange team was allowed its other six goals by han- dicap. Orange County's wi no weak team. No four that has fn its line-up Malcoim Stevenson, probably the greatest pivot player in the country, can be held cheaply, Stevenson played a hard and heady game too, alded in no small degree by Harriman and Rumsey, his forwards, and Morgan Belmont at back. Milburn and Hitchcock were simply too much for them. These two tartar: played such driving polo, such relentless polo, that the Orange County four could not save itself and dribbled when it meant to drive, missed shots altogether, threw away chances, even looked weak. It Is no discredit to Von Stade and Bacon to say that Milburn and Hitch- cock were the Meadow Brook team. The usually daring Von Stade was o shone by the sheer brilliance of his in- ternational team mates. Bacon, a clever rider and an acceptably long hitter, found himself in too speedy com- pany. Under ordinary circumstances, the play of Von Stade and Bacon might have been worthy of high praise, but to-day, Milburn and Hitchcok were on their game. Milburn did everything. He was al- ways in the thick of it, shot forehand and backhand, with terriifle power and deadly alm, rode like a demon, The Orange County attack was but a feeder to him. Invariably he converted a threatening offensive into a pass to Hitchcock, The youthful Hitchcock played Mil- burn’s game. He hit as hard and al- most as accurately. Forehand or back- hand, it made no difference to him. America may well feel confident of the future of its polo for some years to come when the younger generation of players can bring forth such a power as Hitcheook, Despite the supremacy of the Meadow Brook four, play was always fascinat- ing. Harriman and Stevenson were al- ways dangerous, Rumsey was a cun- stunt threat. At times they instituted rallles that brought the crowd to its fect cheering, and no one could forge! how the Orange County players whipped the Argentine combination tn a Ariving finish last Saturday, But to-day every Orange County rally only stirred Hitch- cock und the wonderful Milburn to an- oth burst of spe the first teams were. evenly to the American and another goal, the ponies of both natched—a tribute ants, Orange Coun- ty was by 10 means at a disadvantage as far us ponies went and no more eloquent example could be found in sub- nuiation of that than the notable in the seventh perlod when Har- ) iterally ran away from Milburn, Nay started ut 6:17, and after a few moments of scrimmage in midfelit Hitcheoek drove through the first of the nine goals he shot during the game, but Rumsey soon made up for it and it was ident that Orange County would play desperately to give the crack Long Islanders a dose of the same medicine that finished the Argentinians, But In vain, Hitehcock, Milburn and Von Stade scored eight more goals be- fore half time and the best Orange County could do was drive for the sid boards and make several futlle dashea toward the Meadow Brook goal, Mil- burn and Hitchcock were In the saddle, At the beginning of the second halt Orange County began a furious offen- sive, Stevenson single-handed took the bull through the Meadow Brook four, sed to Harriman, who scored. A it later Harriman repeated, ‘Phat only spurred on Hitchcock. The sc star answered at the beginning of tlw sixth period with two goals in fifty-tive seconds. ‘Then Milburn added two more on brillant pas: from Hitcheock’s mallet, They made an un- beatable palr. n and Stevenson playing in on and Rumsey, alone, ac- { for three tore goala, . mateh to-morrow will bring to- (he Flamingo and the Shelburne it looks like a certain victory jdard’s great Shelburne quar- jespile the eight goal handicap a lowed the Flamingoes. rgentine combination, ‘ation upon {ts first { Saturday, will get again to-morrow afternoon. which American Easteott team has 56 ted as the Argentinians’ oppo- ne 1a hot match 8 expected, in- jsinuch as the South Americans took tw of three hard-fought matches fron the Eastcott team tn Englan This will be the first of several special malehes arranged by the Rumson Club, es PENN STATE STARS TO PLAY AT COLGATE WASHINGTO Pa., Aug. 81,—Con- firmation of a report that a group of four Feun State football players had decided to transfer to Colgate thia year turnished to-day when Ruel 0. ) Redinger of this place left to was ( Join the advance guard of the Colgate grid squad at Hamilton The rs who will enter the New York Site institution this week are: Heas, stir back, who filled In last sea- von for tle injured Capt, Snell; Crow- thers, & player, and X, Cornwell, « substitu man whe attention to hima 8 stellar performance in he N xame, Redinger played wel ‘@ brillia 1 al successor to K Unger 4 quarterback, OUR CHANCES SLIM, SAYS CAPT.

Both had hoped to stay in the United States for the national championship, whton begins at the Germantown Cricket Club on Sept. 8 but were unable to do so, having received cablegrams that re- called them to Europe. Before his departure Borotra ex- pressed his pleasure at having been able to visit the United States this summer, “I very much appreciate the many cour- testes to our team that made our stay so pleasant,"’ he sald, “and I would like to thank all those who were so nice to us, It is too bad that I can't stay to play in your championahip for I would like the experience of competing in such an event. 1 feel sure that our trip benefited our players immensely and Iam only sorry that we could not stay longer." ‘Through an interpreter Count de Go- mar also sald he was most grateful for the cordial welcome the Spanish team had experienced. ‘I am glad that the two Alonsgos can stay to play in the national championship. I should like also to stay and particularly to seo the challenge round of the Davis Cup con- test, which I belleve will be very close. However, I must go, #0 I can only thank you and goodby. THURSDAY, AUGUST 381, 1922, SMINEFIREIS OUT, BUT RESCUE OF 47 IS STILL FAR OFF rades Can Enter to Seek Miners. JACKSON, Cal, Aug. 31 (Asso- elated Press).—Fire in the shaft of the Argonaut gold mine, in the lowest reaches of which 47 miners have been Imprisoned since Sunday, is out, but that fact brought no nearer hope for releasing the men alive. The heat in the shaft is so intense flames may break out again at any moment, and at the earliest {t would bo five days before entrance to the mine could be gained through it. Rescue teams still battle to-day to open up three routes of escape from the smoke choked underground mine drifts to the open air. Two were through passages which workers are endeavoring to cut from the Kennedy, an adjoining mine, while the third was through the shaft of the Argo- naut itself. A second rescue corps on a level 800 feet below the group that has worked since Monday, burrowing from the 8,900 foot level of the Ken- nedy mine toward the Argonaut 400 level, to-day had made perceptible progress. It will be a long slege, through 600 to 600 feet of loose dirt before a 149-foot wall of solid slate is reached. Three hundred feet above them toll the half-naked workers who have drilled in brief shifts since Monday to cut through more than 100 feet of loose dirt and timbers and thirty feet of hard rock. They struck a cave-in last night, slowing their progress. They estimated there would be be- tween 90 and 100 feet more of rock and dirt to be cleared. Rescue workers descending the shaft this morning got as far as the 2,400-foot level 1n mine skips and went 100 feet further on ladders. They found the smoke greatly dimin- ished. The water pipes at the side of the shaft still were too hot to touch. Temperature at the 2,500-foot mark was ten degrees hotter than sixty feet above, but there was little gas. Hope that the miners still are alive was firmly held out by the consult- ing experts, They are acting on the belief that the men have lived through more than elghty houra of entombment—that they will be alive for five or six days to come.

He winters in the South and summers In New York, He has a wife, two children and a mother-in-law. Perhaps you have seen him—Hor- ton A.

But often he ventures over to Fifth Ave- nue and the cops turn their heads rather than chase him away. Many a tear has been shed over Stubby. Before he had his legs cut off by a railroad train In Ohio six years ago he followed the street fairs and car- nivals. He and his wife atill have concessions, and that is why they spend their winters In the South, The way Malon automobile got him {nto trouble was this: He and his famtly had been spending a few weeks at Lake Mohanaic, While they were away his chauffeur, David Mor- rison, Was arrested on a minor charge. Henry Frank of No, 2 Rector Street was employed as his lawyer, but through some error a second lawyer was employed before Frank could act and Malone refused to pay Frank's $100 fee. He sued and got judgment by default, City Marshal Hirsch attached Ma- lone’s automobile at a garage near the Hotel Marlborough, 86th Street and Broadway, where Malone has his suite, That !s how the story came out and why reporters went there and found him wearing a silk shirt, neat trousers and amoking a cig- arette, and saw his three winner coats and the diamonds he and his wife wear—and ev cything, Including his costly aluminum legs. Malone was not seeking any pub- Melty. In fact, he was very much averse to it.
