Manager Frankie Frisch followed with a double to score the first run. Bill Swift then hooked up with Winford in a tight pitching duel, allowing the Cardinals only one hit in the next five innings. The first batter in the seventh was Pepper Martin and his contribution to the cause 'was a long home run that set off the fireworks for a three-run rally. With a 4-run working margin, Winford wilted to let the Pirates draw up to near-victory.

BEING PLANNED Standardization in Operation of Courses Believed Imperative DETROIT. Aug. 22 UP) The National Association of State Rac ing Commissioners adopted a resolution here today urging forma tion of an organization of track operators "through which the problems of racing may be approached and its security maintained." "Such an organization appears imperative.

In order to bring definite standardization in the operation of tracks of the country." said Walter H. Donovan, St. Petersburg. president of the association, "and to maintain racing definitely as a sport." The association put off definite action on a plan to form a na tional examining board for trainers and Jockeys, and named a committee to make a further study. Recognizing he need for Insuring riders against Injury, the association recommended that all state commissions require each track under their Jurisdiction to carry some form of Insurance unless provisions already have been made Jn another form, as in Michigan, where a relief society has been incorporated.

Following a recommendation of the Thoroughbred Club of America, the commissioners went on record as favoring more opportunity In racing for owners of fillies and mares three-years old and upward. A committee also was named to define the term "maiden" so that specifications in 'races for horses in that classification would be clearer. Still another committee will develop rules and specifications for photographic finishes and make a study of equipment so that apparatus may be standardized. Tha committees will report at the winter meeting In Florida, Discovery Wins Third Straight At Saratoga SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Aug.

ORGANZA ON Only Major Sports Event With Admission Charge to Keep Crowd Away VANDALIA, Aug. 22 (JP The population of this Montgomery county village soared more than 300 per cent today as shotgun experts from all parts of the country converged for the 37th annual grand American trapshoot program. Population of the village, in which the permanent home of the Amateur Trapshooting Association is located, is normally a little over 300, but more than 1,000 shooters are scheduled to take part in the week's firing line activity which gets under way in earnest Monday and ends Friday. Preliminary events were scheduled Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but they were just "tune up" affairs for the big show, the "Vandalia open handicap" Sunday afternoon being the outstanding one of the pre-program races.

Not only will marksmen come from all parts of the United States, Canada, Alaska, the Canal zone and other points, but spectators, too, will come long distances to watch the experts mow down the clay targets. In fact, the Grand American is the only major sports event at which an admission charge is made for the sole purpose of holding down the size of crowds. Also, in direct contrast to other sports, the professionals are banned from winning cash prizes while the amateurs take down thousands In purses during the week. The program calls for each shooter, taking part in all events, to fire at 900 targets during the week, not counting practice rounds. Fifteen championships will be decided, but the handicap is the only one that really counts, for the winner, generally an unknown, comes from "no place" to walk off with the erant.
