He just keeps getting on base. Take last night for instance.

Pinson was up six times and six times he ended up on first. Twice he singled and four times he walked. Since he singled his last three times up in Sunday's game with Milwaukee, that makes it nine straight trips to first base for the 20-year-old. Pinson didn't just loaf around when he got there either, last night. He scored three runs and stole a couple of bases.

He knocked in two runs and his two hits extended his consecutive game hit streak to nine and raised his bat average to .379. JIM FERGUSON.

This was in the bam area at Chun hill Downs behind the track's back stretch, across from the sprawling old stands where, on Saturday, the 831, Kentucky Derby will be run. Jimmy Jones, Calumet's trainer, had scratched his last remaining Derby hope, On-and-On, a few minutes earlier. It was approaching 9 o'clock in the morning and this is indeed late on the "back side" of a race track.

Bell and Robby joined him in three-hit nights.

"You fellows who get horses ready for the big races," some-t body said, "must condition yourself to disappointments like this," i Jimmy Jones excused himself, but his dad, Plain Ben, manager of the Calumet racing stable, spoke as he poured a cup of steaming coffee out of a thermos jug into a' plastic cup.

Now that you've read this far, you must know that this morning the Joneses changed their minds on On-and-On, whose new name should be "Out-and-In." On-and-On surprisingly was entered in the Derby with 17 others and a stable agent handled the detail. Maybe this reporter should have listened yesterday to LUIott Burch, who trains Sword Dancer and who said, when he heard the news, "I'll believe that when Oii-aml On'a name doesn't show up In the entry box." Is it possible, though, that Mrs.

Gene Markey, Mistress of Calumet Farm, overruled the Joneses, demanding that her colors be represented? The old man yesterday had abruptly switched the subject.

"If she was my filly," said the elder Jones, "I believe I'd rather see her in the Oaks on Friday. (The Oaks at any track is a sort of Derby resU'icted to the female of the species.) But I can understand why Whitney would want to go in the Derby and it ain't because he needs the money. I'd shore like to help him count his money." ing the Cubs to three hits and no runs in the first four innings, the Chicago team began to chip away from then on.

"My arm began to get stiff," l4twrence said afterward In the chililioiioe. "Look at this," ha exclaimed, "I can hardly get thii jacket on." But little Bobbie Mabe came through again. Lawrence had given up six runs and left a couple of runners on when Smith decided the time to change had arrived with nobody out in the seventh. Mabe didn't allow a hit the rest of the way, although both runners that were left on eventually scored on infield rollers. It was the third for Mabe, who has also been credited Jones Hankered to Bun Filly BEN JONES chuckled.
