Idea is to buy a share in the purse which sounds something like to option plan used by the Linden Dog Track several seasons back-Story of the Intentions of the Roosevelt promoters broke here week ahead of the New York papers and here is another one to consider. Operators of a Jersey midget auto racing plant are studying the Roosevelt setup and will pen up in this state if the New York idea goes over without too many hitches.

Incidentally, as predicted, the original setup at Roosevelt in regards to the drivers proved a bit too strict- Efforts to keep the drivers apart and prevent possible betting "coups" didn't sound very attractive to the speed pilots and they refused to sign until new contracts were drawn up. The contracts call for the boys to be available upon 24 hours' notice. Local running horse enthusiasts are awaiting action of the state horse racing bill and some promoters in the state are optimistic enough about the fate of the bill to spend money preparing property for quick erection of a track. At least one trotting track, not Borough Park, is prepared to put in both running and harness racing at the first word. Mrs.

Bill Mo-Kechnie of Cincinnati is to receive a $5,000 bonus if the Reds finish in the first division and Os Vitt is determined his Indians will wind up in first or second spot just to show the boys they can do it. Indians have been known as "quitters" in tight spots, and Vitt is trying to get them mad enough to fight it out. He made them practice all day on one of their off days this week. Making good for mother. One of the Inspirations for Joe Gordon to make the grade with the Yankees is the fact that a major league berth would give him enough financial support to take care of his mother.

She took a job when Gordon and his brother were a pair of tots to support them when their father died and left no estate. One of the shining lights of the play of the Plainfield Cricket Club this season is the work of Roland Forrester, 15-year-old mem-Iter of the club's team. In a recent match young Forrester took four wickets for six runs. Locals will meet the state champion Paterson team tomorrow in Cedar Brook Park. 4 League trial Baseball League lead.

Largo Gallery By their winning performance before a large-sized gallery, the South Plainfielders went a half gams ahead of the Mayf air nine, breaking a deadlock between the two for top Last time out for the South Plain-fielders league competition Rube twirled a similarly fine game, allow-' ing the Mayf air nine two safeties as his-club scored an important 1 to 0 victory. Rube hails from Dunellen, but with Ernie Phillips, a local boy, combines to give the South Plain-f relders a fine pitching staff. Coupled with a well-rounded lineup which includes good at all infield posts and a heavy hitting lineup of batsmen, the club is rated as the "team to beat" In the circuit, as is born out by their position in the standings. Last' night Rube found his mates helping him out of some difficult predicaments with fine plays, fast throws and a snappy fielding. They also backed up his courageous elbowing by coming through at bat against the slants of big George Kermes, Fellowship mounds-man.

He gave up 11 hits but was the victim mainly of poor support while pitching a commendable seven inning game. Scores Unearned The initial score off him in the opening frame was unearned as were two of three counts which came in second. Two errors also figured in another three-run spurt in the sixth frame. In all the Stel-ton nine five miscues, all of which made a difference in the final score. Errors also figured in the runs of the Fellowship nine which robbed Rube of a shutout.

Two miscues figured in a comic fifth inning score, while the only other counter by the losers which came in the sixth was one of the rare earned runs of the evening, dependent on two walks and a single by pitcher Kermes. Lineups: South Plainfield A. A. AB Fellowship a. C.

JltV CtU smd tt4 Ml iTffy Pfeone rtfd. 1 0C Sandwich, Eng. (AP) Stolid Reggie Whitcombe, at 40 the young est of a trio of famous golfing brothers and the first to win the coveted British Open title, looks upon the big increase in his annual income as something at least as im portant as the prestige he won yes terday.

After battling a 50-mile wind that all but blew the players off the course and sent scores kiting up into the 90's, and after waiting while the late finishers, Including the defending champion, Henry Cotton, finished their rounds. Reggie's comment when he learned of his victory was: -Just a Whitcombe "All we cared about was that a Whitcombe won. We didn't mind which." But the extra money a champion can earn probably means a lot to Reggie, who often has been near but never before on the top. Cotton estimated his 1937 victory over Reg gie was worth $25,000. When Wal ter Hagen beat Reggie's eldest brother, Ernest, by one stroke back in 1924, he said the title was worth $50,000 annually.

-The Whitcombe temperament. much the same in 48-year-old Ern est and 42-year-old Charles, played as big a part as Reggie's skill and his powerful build in battling the gale. He just kept on playing his game and shot 75-78 on the last two rounds to turn a two-stroke deficit into a two-stroke victory. He finished with 295 for the 72 holes against 297 for Jim Adams and 293 for Cotton. Not Easily Upset Reggie's tanned face and tight-lipped mouth don't tell you whether he is winning or losing.

His keen blue eye above a long nose and jutting jaw don't talk either they're always shaded by a peaked cap. A quiet sense of humor and cool concentration enables Reggie to blot out the memory of a bad shot. An outstanding example came in his heart breaking experience of seeing a one-stroke lead disappear when he took four putts on the first green of his final round. Four-Run Rally Gives Royal Ten Win Over Ackens By LOUIE DuMOOT A rally in the sixth inning, which netted them four runs, enabled the North Plainfield Royals to come from behind and beat the Ackens softball team, 8-5, on the "old" borough high school diamond last night. Ackens took a short lead in the first stanza, only to have the Royals knot the score, 3-all, with the losers taking another short lived lease on the game as they scored twice in the second inning.

Ackens, although Plainfield city softball champions, have never scored a victory over the fiery Royals in three seasons of play. a slim lead going into the final innings, several of the Acken players, with the pressure on, became jittery as they saw a possible win over their intense rivals in the offing. Drake, Acken pitcher, walked three Royal batters, and the Royals, aided by some unsteady fielding by the losers, put the game away in the fatal sixth as they pushed four runs ocross the plate. Ackens, with two innings to tie the game, or pass their opponents, failed in the pinches. Semma, Royal moundman, was aided in the final two innings by some splendid fielding on the part of his Royal teammates.

Toronto Leafs Whitewash Bears, 10-0 By Tne Associated Press The Buffalo Bisons, who have been concentrating on cutting down the lead of the Champion Newark Bears, had better start looking after their second-place laurels instead.

Joe Holmes Thursday NOT THEORIES By ALEX M0KRIS0N Number 72 ALEX MORRISON says: I am rather ashamed to admit that I have played only two rounds of golf since last September. Seems funny to have golf as a business and still not play more, often. And it may seem funnier yet to learn that I haven't time to devote to my own game.

When I do get outside it is to work on the games of other players. Last month I played IS holes at Hershey with Henry Picard and two weeks later I got in a round with my good friend Clarence Budington Kelland. But these two rounds brought home as much as I might have observed in 100 games. The outstanding thing was the distance and accuracy I got through swinging very easy. Having no practice and being away from the course for many months, I knew that I had to take it very easy.

I took it easier than I have for any game played In the last 10 years with the result that I did exceptionally well in making shots as well as scoring. lfy scores on both occasions were within a stroke or two of my best of the courses played. It seemed as though I wasn't enough strength to lift the club, much less bring it into the ball with any power, but the flight of the ball proved that the clubhead was traveling with the necessary speed. A lot of strength generally cuts down the spetd of tij clubhead. Next: Mere by Morrises.
