16 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, flarristurg, Friday, August 16, 1945 Robson Seeks Hew Records at Grove Track onSunday Williams Grove, Aug. 16. Fresh from shattering three speed records last week at George Robson, of Maywood: winner of the Indianapolis Classic, today expressed a desire to set new track records on the Williams Grove Speedway on Sunday when Roy Richwine will present another program of AAA big car auto racing. Richwine also announced today that several more well known drivers have filed entries for the race. "I feel confident that I can set a new track record for the time trials this week," Robson said "and I believe the car I will drive is capable of doing it." In his last appearance here, the diminutive Californian, in his first time, at the track, came within fractions of a second of establishing a new record.

This week he will have an advantage over his initial appearance here, in that he is now familiar with the half mile speedway. Robson lowered the 20 lap record last week at Langhorne, set a new mark for one thirtipth of a mile, and also turned the fastest mile in history on a dirt track with the aid of two rockets attached to the rear of Paul Wei rich's Offenhauser, "Poison Lil," averaging luu.l mues per hour. Robson will drive "Poison the same car in which the records were set, in Sunday's race. The additional entries received; by Richwine were from Mark Light, hot speed pilot from Leb anon; Ottis Stine, of York, who copped an eight lap race at Lang horn in Emmett Shelley's Drey er, and Al Fleming. Nassau, Bahamas, (JP) Horse racing is expected to return to Nassau in time for the winter tourist season with the reopening of Montague Park.

Repair work on the track which closed in 1941 already is underway. The open mg date is being withheld until it is learned how many horses will be available.

Senatprs Drop Pair To Trenton's Giants By Roy Nassau A couple of brash young men from Trenton showed very little or no respect for the vaunted power of the liar risburg Senators last night.

As a consequence Les Bell's bver baseballed Senators dropped a double header to the Giants' by 4 2 and 7 5 margins. The double defeat left the Bellmen hanging on to their sec ond place margin over the hastening Hagerstown Owls by a thin half game, Roger Bowman, 18 year ow southpaw made a very auspicious debut in the Inter State in the opener. Fresh to the Trenton club from their Jersey City af filiate, young Bowman hadn't had any time to read about the slug ging Senators, so ne nanacuuea them with three hits, one a dou ble by Al Letrick and sent eleven of the Senators down on strikes. Quite a hunk of hurling for 8 seven inning test. Bowman had to go all out to win as Walt Jamison, newest addition to the short handed Har risburg hurling corps, was look ing very good for six quick in nings, and was on the long end of a small 2 0 count.

However, Jamison's control went winging in the seventh and before ole rubber arm Charley Sipple could get in there, the Giants had four runs and Master Bowman win number one In the finale, 21 year old Bar ney Martin, a right hander with lotsa derring do, took on Fred Wbllpert was skim' ming along in a 4 4 game until the troublesome Trenton youth movement went to work on him in the eighth and ninth and cop ped the clash. With the oft men tioned Sipple taking over in the ninth and winding the dismal for the Senators doings up. Eddie Mutryn. who unaffect ed by earthquakes, atom bombs, blondes and the loss of a game now and then, blithley continued his homerun hitting by collecting number 22 off of Martin in 'the third stanza of the night cap. The Senators, no thanks to floods and rains, have had just too much baseball here of late and the worst part of it.

there's nj respite ahead. Tonight, the boys have only one game, with Trenton, means practically an off night to re quote them. to BEATING 'EM OUT Hay GirdleV iry ana get the senators back 3 0 0 2 0 10 0 10 4 0 0 0 0 Jackson.lf. 3 0 0 0 0 Digrace.lb 3 12 5 1 Hofman.2b 2 10 11 Jennings.ss 2 0 0 0 1 Daves.c.rf. 2 1 1 10 0 Okrutny.c.

Bates to Lead Ohio Team Agairfst Rangers One of the hardest riding mal let swingers in Ohio, Roy Bates, win come here with the Poland. Ohio, Polo Club to play the West Shore Rangers on the Camp Hill greensward this Sunday.

Although the rating committee hasn established a handicap rating for the Buckeye flash, Bates might well be considered one of the highest rated players in the neighboring state. A back, whose duty it Is to make all drive ins and shoot for goals on all safeties and fouls, Bates wields a very potent mal let and is an exceptionally hard rider, following through on drives up and down the field as only a veteran can be expected to do. It was Bates who did much of the scoring damage against the Rangers two weeks ago when Po land beat the West Short Club, 11 to 10, In the Ohio city. Other Sports Newi on Page 22 Recently I happened to be down at Atlantic City's new and successful race track, wondering whether I should attack the S2 or $5 mutuel window. Suddenly I heard someone call out "Hey there." It was a voicelhadh't heard in many years, but it still had a re membered ring.

It came again, I looked and saw that this ghostly echo SB came from the Grantland Rice $50 mutuel window. I knew this couldn't be for me, but taking a chance I strolled over and there was the call from 35 years ago For, the fellow back of the $50 window, on the right side of the window, was an old time left hander known as Rube Marquard. Rube and I broke in as New York rookies a few years afte: the turn of the century. Wry necked Rube was then known as the "$11,000 Lemon," where I had no label at all, not even in the $50 prune or pumpkin class The Rube, who" must be somewhere between 55 and 60, looked to be around 45 years old, or even younger. Neatly or even nattily dressed, he still had the same old wry neck look and the same quick, pleasant smile, We stood for a second looking at each other across the span of more than three decades.

I told him how sorry I was that I couldn't trade with him as the $50 window was out of my reach He outranked me too Rube asked, "you wrote a verse about me once just when I was about through Would you mind reprinting it some day soon?" I looked the verse up and lo cated it under the title Marquard's Soliloquy" It went like this "How speed the ages on their way How old Doc Time must flutter by. How brief, alas, each vanished day As centuries arise and die. For here I see it jotted down On history's eternal slate, Where Babylon was quite town And I had 19 straight." "But yesterday J. Caesar cleaned The pennant up in vanished Gaul, But yesterday Kid David beaned Goliath with his swiftest ball. For I remember from the mold Of things that were each deed and date, When Cleopatra knocked em cold, And I had 19 straight." "Within my den at night I read Forgotten legends of the years.

Gray age on age I lamp the screed Of Hector's fall and Helen's tears. Aye. back beyond time's fading ridge I trail with those who leered at Fate, When old Horatius held the bridge And I had 19 straight." Far Away and Long Ago But here, in front of me, at the S50 mutuel window, on the selling, not the buying side, was the same Rube that gave us all so many thrills so many years ago when John J. McGraw and Christy Mathewson were in their prime. When Fred Merkle, labeled the "bone head," but the most intellectual man on, the team, Larry Doyle, now a sick man in the Adirondack, Fred Snodgrass, the unfortunate, and Chief Myers, now in California, were the toasts of a pennant winning town.

From that old time bunch most 1111 The Sportlight umie urn ueaien By Grantland Rice Takinr Too Back Few Brief Tears are dead, sick or forgotten. Time! is a cruel master, the chief of staff of aU life. But it was good to see the Rube still rolling along. He still believes he broke the all time record by winning 20 straight, and he may be right. A game that was credited to Tesreau would have been given to Marquard under present rules.

But those days still live and they came back again in talking to the still slim Marquard who lives a rather lonely life at the $50 cashier's window where so few come. The "$11,000 Lemon" had turn ed into the $100,000 rose. In this present world of sorrow, sin and shame it was at least nice to know that an old time pal was doing all right a great pitcher and a greater guy who was still smart enough to be on the selling side of the mutuel window not on the buying side. "It's much better this way," the Rube said. "By just about two hundred per cent." U.S.

The loss on the part of the White Hill team puts this team on an even footing with the Har risburg Firemen to put all four loop members in a possible position to win the second half as the Hill officials arrange Satur day games in order to complete the schedule in time for various playoffs. The Dough Puddlers, out to win the ball game, used three workmen on the mound, Marlin Herbert, Freeman Henry and Huber, to win last evening's tray to tie the Boot Makers and broke Earl Brown's heart, the losing twiner, with this nifty pitcher for White Hill twirling no hit no run ball until the be ginning of the big sixth frame, White Hill sent the first run of the game across in the second frame on two bingles, a sacrifice and an error. They added three more tallies in the fourth stanza with the Capital Bakers going run hungry in the sixth inning with Huber Robinson banging out a triple to score Huber and Williamson hitting a single to score Robinson. Dennis then hit safely, Schesser grounded out, Beck singled to left field to score Williamson and Dennis. R.

Ernst struck out, Muta reached first on an error, as Beck scored. Krasevic walked, Huber coming to bat again singled to center to score Muta and Krasevic with Robinson retiring the side.
