POST-DISPATCH. 3IOXDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1935. ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH PAGE 3B PIMLICO FUTURITY WINNER TO START IN WALDEN STAKES Billikens Have Scored in TROUBLES FAIL Host to His Former Foe Dempsey at Home to the Tunneys GRAND SLAM TO BE POINTED FOR KENTUCKY DERBY AND PREAKNESS Rose, Maplewood. Wins in Ramona Midget Car Race Clarence Rose of Maplewood, won the feature race in a midget auto racing program yesterday afternoon at the Ramona Speedway in Carsonville, under the sponsorship of the Mississippi Valley Association.

Rose won the 30-lap race after Mac McCoy had to quit the race because of motor trouble. Rose was in second place with McCoy leading when McCoy was forced out. Thirteen of the 14 drivers that qualified for the races were from St. Louis and vicinity. McCoy, from Springfield, 111., was the only out-of-town driver.

He won the first five-lap preliminary, the 15-lap handicap race and had the fastest time in the time trials. The feature event was shortened because of darkness. Rose covered the 30 laps in 14:03.40. l) 7 0 off ij UN V't- Vff'Ai flit tr $-''" Games Played ures as a rough road. St.

Louis has scored in six of the seven games played, only Creighton holding the Billikens scoreless. Two St. Louis opponents have been blanked Sewanee and Missouri Mines. Kirksville and Arkansas State each scored a touchdown, Creighton two and Marquette and Mississippi, each three. The St.

Louis showing against Marquette was the best by any team against the Milwaukee Avalanche this season. No important changes are looked for in the Billiken battle front this week. The men who have started recent games have proved their right to first string jobs in most cases. So, in the North Dakota game, Fitzgerald at one end, Rossini and Cianciolo at tackles, Vollmer and Putnam at guards and Krause at center will be on the line with Lou Drone at quarter, Wood at one half and Kloepper sure of places in the backfield. Doubtful positions appear to be at left end and left half.

Cagle and Mitchell will fight it out for the flank job while Nunn and Shea will contest Capt. Hud son's right to a halfback place. Coach Muellerleile's plans call for one hard scrimmage this week probably tomorrow or Wednesday Gene Tunney (left), retired heavyweight champion of the world, and his wife, the former Polly Lauder, pay a visit to the Old Mauler Jack Dempsey, from whom Tunney won the title. The trio are dining at Jack's New York restaurant. Fifty Fans Will Share $300.00 in Cash Prizes In Fourth Football Test Listed below are fifteen major football games scheduled for Nov.

The following eash prizes will be awarded: Washington Drake TO STOP PETERS; GUNNERS DEFEAT CANTON, 33 TO 4 When Frosty Peters, manager, owner, coach and field general of the St.

Louis Gunners was a college star at Illinois, gameness was one of the qualities which helped him to stardom. That he still shows that fine quality is proved by his efforts to keep professional football alive here. He is operating against odds which might well appall a less-courageous person. His players, 16 of them, are working with him co-operatively and, if it proves humanly possible, the Gunners will complete the season. Frosty's Troubles.

Peters is a straight-dealer. Last Saturday, just before midnight, the manager of the Cleveland Panthers who were scheduled with the Gun ners here yesterday, called Frosty by telephone and said his team would not appear. Peters got busy. It was too late even to noti fy the newspapers of the change and after several hours, another opponent was obtained in the Canton, (111.) All-Stars. Rather than appear as though he were putting things over on the public, Peters ordered the admission charge reduced from 75 to 40 cents and scrapped an entire issue of programs.

That certainly would appear to be on-the-level promotion and worthy of popular support. The game with Canton was played yesterday and resulted in a 33-4 victory for the Gunners. And that "4" isn't a typographical error, either, for two points accrued to the Canton tally-sheet on safeties in the first and fourth quarters. About 1500 persons watched the game at Public School Stadium. They saw the Gunners score a single touchdown in the opening period, go scoreless in the second and count two touchdowns in each of the two last periods of play.

Carl Kane, former St. Louis University captain, scored three of the touchdowns, Elmer Todd, once a captain at McKendree, one, and "Fat" Rapp, ex-Billiken fullback, the other. Peters place-kicked two extra points and McMullen added a point also on a place-kick. Two Safeties. In the first quarter, Peters in tercepted a Canton pass and was thrown in his own end-zone and, in the final period.

McMullen did the same thing and suffered the same fate. The Gunners were superior in every department. They were slow to start but soon warmed to their work. Coach Peters announced that the Gunners had booked a game with Memphis here on Nov. 17.

Next Sunday's opponent was not announced. The lineups and summary: GUNNERS. Gladden Rhea Warner McMullen Nisoncer Peskin Peters Todd Kane RDD-Br'nstein CANTON ALli-81ARa- L. E. K.

Stapenhorst had intercepted a lateral pass on his 45-yard line, and as he was running down the field, the gun went off, ending the game, but Montgomery raced after Stapenhorst and caught him on the three-yard line. Chaminade had two other scoring chances, but were stopped by Ca thedral's defense on the eight-yard line one time, and on the one-foot line on the other. Lineups: CHAMINADE.

There's no especial need for worry over the North Dakota game. It probably won't be a romp for St. Louis but there should be little danger of defeat.

North Dakota's opposition has been local to that section and while they are at present undefeated they played two tie games there's nothing fearsome about their lineup. St. Louis has had much harder competition. North Dakota has met Moorehead Teachers, Luther, South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota State and Morningside. Probably the best showing made by the Northerners was their tie 20 to 4u-rwnn iNortn uaKota state, a team which held Minnesota to a 206 score.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3. Eddie Stanley of Williams, who scored 24 points in the Purple's rout of Union, sailed to the top of the Eastern football scoring list with a total of 72 points, six more than Walter Dick of American Univer- city, Washington. Dick also made four touchdowns, trailing by one with 11 to Stanley's 12 Both of these aces and Bobby O'Malley, Trinity sophomore, who is on the receiving end of the Ko- brosky-O'Malley passing combina tion, swept past Frank Patrick of Pittsburgh, last week's leader, who was held scoreless by Fordham. O'Malley scored the only Trinity touchdown, against Wesleyan to bring his total to 61 points, five more than Patrick.

The versatile Pitt star was shorn of further honors when Churchman of West Liberty State Teachers in West Virginia, booted three field goals against Shepherd to equal Patrick's seasonal total and share the lead in that department. Joe Handrahan of Dartmouth retained first place in booting points after touchdown, getting two against Yale to bring his total to 16. Records of leading individual scorers follow: Pos. Stanley.

Rider of Grand Slam Suspended PIMLICO RACE TRACK, Nov. 4. OCKEY HARRY RICHARDS, who rode Grand Slam in the Pimlico Futurity Sat urday, and carried Hollyrood, eventual -winner under Coucci, very wide at the stretch turn, incurred the wrath 01 the stewards. They issued the follow ing ruling here today: "Jockey H. Richards has this day been suspended for the re mainder of the meeting lor tactics detrimental to the best interest of racing, for his ride on the colt Grand Slam, in the Pimlico Futurity, Saturday." Bj the Associated Press.

PIMUCO, Nov. 4. Holly-rood, the classy bay colt which sent dirt scattering in the faces of eight other good two-year-olds in the Pim lico Futurity, last Saturday, may face another test here before the current meeting closes. The Hal Price Headley colt is one of the eligibles for the $7500 added Walden Handicap to be run Nov. 11.

A victory in that mile and a sixteenth event would mean another $8000 or $9000 for his owner. Grand Slam, Bomar Stable colt and the favorite which was second to Hollyrood in the $25,000 added Futurity, will not run in the Wal den. He is to be wintered here and will be pointed for the 1936 Ken tucky Derby and Preakness Hollyrood, carrying 122 pounds and smartly ridden by Jockey Silvio Coucci, put into Head- ley's purse by winning the Futurity by a length and a half over Grand Slam. A pounding drive down the home stretch gave Hollyrood a go- ing-away victory. in the first run ning since 1932 of Maryland's rich est race.

One colt which did not oppose Hollyrood in the Futurity probably will get a chance against him in the Walden. That is Greentree Stable's Memory Book, winner of the Spalding Lowe Jenkins Handicap at Laurel, which is giving indications of being a good distance runner. Other outstanding Walden eligibles are: Bomar Stable's Lovely Girl, E. R. Bradley's Bootmaker, Brookmeade Stable's.

Delphinium, Howard Bruce's Green Mist, Walter M. Jeffords' Jean Bart, Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Ned Reich, Shan-don Farm's Lemont and Wheatley Stable's Snark. Ned Reigh ran third in the Futurity and Delphinium was fourth. DR. C.

Matt Winn, here for a bit of golf after the close of the racing season in Chicago, said today the 1936 runninj of the Kentucky Derby will be held Saturday, May 2, according to present plans. City M'BRIDE AND ALTON TEAMS NEAR TITLES ON GRIDIRON Two football teams can assure themselves at least of ties for the championship in their respective leagues in the contests scheduled this week among the high schools in the St. Louis area. McBride, by defeating Christian Brothers, can do no worse than tie for the Preparatory League title and Alton can finish no worse than deadlocked for the Madison-St. Clair championship by winning from Madison.

Both games are to be played Friday night. McBride registered one of the biggest upsets in high school circles this year when it knocked off Western, the defending champion, last week at Alton, 13 to 3. Coach Toddy Kamp's boys again will do a bit of invading Friday night and if they are successful they will gain their second decision, and only St. Louis U. High will be in their path to the title.

Alton Wins Fifth In Row. Alton scored its fifth consecutive victory across the river when it submerged Collinsville, 44 to 0, last week and now the Altonites only have two more contests before they close their Madison-St. Clair Conference race. Madison is in third place in the standings and even though it will be playing on Alton's grounds, it should give the leaders a tough battle. The race rolls merrily along in the Citv Hieh School League.

The latest threat to McKinley's 1935 claim to the championship is Beaumont, which designated itself as a claimant to its first football championship when it won from Roosevelt, 6 to 0, last week. That was a feat the Blue Jackets had been trying to perform for eight years and at last they succeeded. Beaumont to Play Cleveland Beaumont, as yet undefeated in the race although it was tied by Soldan, 6 to 6 will encounter another worthy opponent next Saturday morning when it battles Cleveland in the opening contest of the tripleheader at the Public Schools Stadium. Cleveland looked like the team that ended in a triple tie for final honors last year when it ran over Central, 25 to 0. Since Beaumont defeated Central, 33 to 0, it would seem that Cleveland and the Blue Jackets are evenly matched.

Roosevelt is still in the running despite its loss to Beaumont, and the Rough Riders should win from Central without much trouble in the first half of the afternoon program. In the closing contest, Mc-Kinley will try for its fourth league decision and its sixth of the year at Soldan's expense. Only the 13-to-6 loss to University City in the opening battle of the season mars McKinley's record. Iowa Team to Meet Maplewood.
