34 DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1938 Eight Thirty the Hun FBmk JlMMV 'FONTEES'. By Al Copland. Saratoga Springs, July 25. Saratoga opened today and how! Against the background of the most famous racecourse in America there unfolded here this a thrilling program featured by: (1) Eight Thirty's victory in the $4,773 Flash Stakes. Saratoga Springs Race Track, N.

July 25. I have been talking to a lot of poor people here. They are nice people, but are very, very poor. They are horse players mostly. Many are ex-trainers, ex-bookies, ex-stable swipes, ex-jockeys and plain old garden variety gamblers.

I think it a shame the government doesn't do something for these people. All they need is money. 5 There is no doubt they are citizens of the United States. And they are in distress. Their business is gambling.

They are inconvenienced because they do not happen to have anything to gamble with. Are we going to sit idly by and let weeds grow on our beautiful racing infields?

A $100,000,000 industry totters on account a few people have not enough bank notes.

Ones, fives, tens and twenties would take care of everything just dandy. And please do not think these distressed people would stoop so low as to keep this money. Why, they never keep money. Sometimes they do not even go to a dentist or a doctor or a grocery store with their money. They go right to a race track with it.

So I am sure I could trust them to put any funds received promptly into circulation. Mike Jacobs safe after the Louis-Schmeling fight was full of WPA checks. But this benefited one man. a millionaire to boot. Money given to race bettors would benefit thousands, from George Bull down to the local hay and grain merchant.

We give suits and dresses to deserving souls. But nobody gives anything to bettors. Citizens, how about a little relief? It was Eight Thirty's third victory in as many starts. The aptly-named chestnut son of Pilate-Dinner Time flew down on the pace-making Maeline in the final few yards to grab all the money in a photo finish. Record Time for Flash.

Coupled in the betting with Birch Rod, Eight Thirty covered tho five-and-a-half furlongs in the slashing time of 1:05 1-5 seconds, fastest in the 64 runnings of the stake. Johnny Gilbert had Maeline away well, taking him right to the He kept pressing his mount all the way and looked like Sox Win, 4-0; Lose; 3-0 Boston, July 25 (P). After two pitching duels, the Indians and Red Sox remained just where they were before they started today's doubleheader Cleveland in second place back of the Yankees and Boston in third position another game-and-a-half to the rear. The Red Sox won the opener, Saratoga with its white swans, its flower beds, its elm-shaded paddock and its Victorian stands is like a little wooded park. There hasn't been much rain here, strangely enough.

Earl Averill got to him for a scratch double in the second. That was all until Hal Trosky doubled in the eighth. Sammy Hale got the other blow, a single in the ninth.

Allen himself yielded only five hits before he was replaced by Bill Zuber at the start of the eighth. One of the blows was Jimmy Foxx's 27th homer in the sixth after the Sox had scored once in the second on Higgins' double and Doerr' single and twice in the fifth on a walk, Higgins' single, Ken Keltner's error, and a fielder's choke. Harder limited the Sox to five hits while the Indians were making the most of six otf Bagby, who fanned nine. Bagby had the misfortune, however, to pitch a home run ball to Keltner in the third, his 17th homer of the year. In the sixth Thomas Heath tripled and scored on Averill's fly.
