game fur fun that two major league dubs have played since Abner Doubleday in- ncnted baseball in this little town jqj years ago was reeled off in the rain and mud today with the Cleveland Indians beating the world champion Cincinnati Reds 2 to 1 in six innings The skies were furbidding even when the two teams arrived here in automobiles early this morning and half an hour before game time a heavy shower soaked the field and hundreds of fans who had gathered from all round the countryside for their annual look at the stars of tlie sport The field would have been considered unplayable in the big leagues but in order not to disappoint the estimated 5000 fans who huddled in the little confines of Doubleday field Managers Bill McKechnie of the Reds and Roger Peckinpaugh of the Indians went on with the show The ball was slippery and the field precarious so the players took everything easy even to chasing and petting a couple of stray dogs which romped just back of the infield at intervals throughout the contest The slow footing allowed the teams to entertain the throng with six dou- ble plays All-Star Inter eat Columbians are showing more interest in the Sally league All-Star game than ever before for the simple reason that the Columbia team now has an excellent chance to play host to the team to be selected from other member clubs of the league The schedule from now until July 1 when the team leading the league will be designated to meet the All-Stars favors the Reds and Spinners over the Peaches these three being the iw iiiwu likely contenders for the All-Star game At this writing Columbia one game ahead of Greenville and Macon who are tied for second place has six games to play with Macon six with Charleston and fonr with Jacksonville before July 1 Macon plays six with the Reds six with Greenville three with Augusta and fonr with Columbus Greenville has six with Macon six with Charleston two with Jacksonville and four with Savannah The Peaches must play 12 games against their chief contenders while Greenville and Columbia play six each with Macon and do not meet each other again nntil after July 1 Nine of Columbia's remaining 16 games are on the home lot which should be a help Another interesting factor is the fact that the Peaches and Reds will be tangled up in a series in Columbia the last two days of the month and that the top team may not be decided until the last day if then In case two teams are tied for first on July 1 the first to take undisputed possession of first place gets the game If Greenville or Columbia comes out on top it will be the first time since the all-star game was inaugurated that it will have been played ontside Georgia Augusta Mi Hilo 10 Runs lull 1 in Traxl'-r (2 1 McBride 2 1 linker i2i Ilell Biggs

spectacle began to pitch its tents along Broadway today bringing along an astonishing show of support for Billy Conn's challenge to Joe Louis' reign as head man Not since Max Schmeling was polishing up his right hand for a second shot at the Bomber have the older hands of tlie fight game the "brains" of beak-bashing given another fighter a look-in to even muss Joe's hair This time however split almost even-up over tlie Pittsburgh glamor boy's possibilities The result is the 49th street betting marts have shaved the price on Louis down to 1 to 2 1-2 and the commissioners are warning it may go as low as 1 to 2 by the time the greatest heavyweight since Dempsey end the light-heavyweight king climb into the ring at the Polo Grounds next Wednesday night Last December when this match was first

today and announced he was playing a hunch on Conn Rain washed both tlie fighters indoors today for their sharpening up work although each announced he was as "right" as lie'll ever be Louis plans to continue sparring sessions right through Monday in the training siege he has ever put in for an opponent Tlie bomber not only has a powerful amount of pride in his he wants to retire undefeated next fall to enlist in the but starting with Wednesday's expected gate he has a set of bouts in front of him in the next three or four months which figure to make auy bank account healthy Up to this minute Joe has taken 3183307946 from the cash customers with his fists in 53 fights in the eight years since he first collected 350 for stopping Jack Kraken fight figures to play to a gate of 3400000 or so into which Joe will cut for about 3136-000 or possibly enough to bring his earnings over the 32000000 mark After that there's a re-match with ample Abraham Simon a shot with Lou Nova which should have

Forest Lake elubs today At Ridgewood Ihev are holding a tourna- BY IIARLAN EDWARDS- Someone else besides the munitions makers are getting something out of the current war and that's the American racing industry There are plenty of finely bred horses in America now which in all probability would not be here were it not for the fact that Herr Hitler adopted his extension plan A glance at the nominations for the fourth running of the Hollywood Gold cup 375000 added July 9 reveals the names of several thoroughbred exiles No less than 11 imported horses largest number of invaders ever nominated for an American all-age stakes are slated to compete The group is headed by Meissen the Peruvian Prince" winner of 15 out of 19 starts in his native Peru who completely ran himself out of competition in the land of coffee and equators Meissen is being boomed as the wonder horse of the age and should prove a strong drawing card unless he pricks the ballyhoo balloon with some sad performances In recent years largely due to the importations of Charles Howard west coast sportsman and his son Lin Howard who with Crooner Bing Crosby operate a stable in California South American horses have loomed moderately large on the North American racing horizon Probably the best of the importations were Charles Howard's Kayak II which trained here two years ago and the Binglin stables' Ligarotti Kayak II came along at a bad time because of the fact that during the first four years of his racing career he was pitted against Scabiscuit a stablemate Probably it would be better to say that the Biscuit got all the best of it When there was a big stake race to win it was the Biscuit who got tlie advantage Either Kayak set the pace fur him or didn't run at all And so despite the fact that he was a great horse Kayak's chances were more or less smothered in Mr Howard's burning ambition to make Sea-biscuit the world's leading money winner of all a feat which he accomplished much to the surprise of those who said it couldn't be done including yours truly But be all that as it may Kayak II never showed the caliber of America's best bred horses Ligarotti can be dismissed with the statement that he was an in and a champion today a plater tomorrow But getting back to those importations again Colorado Lad an English-bred horse brought over here by Valdina stables Then Fair-mond another English-bred horse imported by Valdina Chico is a product of Irish breeding while Don Juan II Don Bing and Barrancosa are South American importations of the Howard Crosby combine The presence of these fine at least they represent the finest of foreign can definitely be attributed to the war because in peace time British Austrialian and Irish breeders were reluctant to export their strains When a high class stallion bought a one-way ticket to America a storm of protest invariably blew up and the press was flooded with letters of protest from indignant followers of the sport abroad The importation of Blenheim from England almost caused a revolution in British racing circles Blenheim as you probably know was purchased by a combine of American breeders for the fancy sum of 3250-000 That m'fran is a hunkadough Now every one of the above mentioned horses and several more which we did not mention covered themselves with glory on their native racing strips They are not being imparted with a view toward developing them because they have already proven their mettle and unquestionably earned the right to compete with the best we've got over here Now of course the question arises as to whether or not they can match stride for stride distance for distance and weight for weight with American-bred horses of the class of Big Pebble Challedon Mioland Cap Our Boots Sweepida and the three-year-old grand pappy of the pack Whirlaway We hope that the question will be settled in part at least by the renewal of the Gold Cup Mrs King iMnkes Bapid Hi sc in Stage Career Mrs Frances Keith King after only one season with a stock company playing in New York and New Jersey has achieved real recognition according to reports reaching Columbia Mrs King remembered for her Town theater performances in past seasons her hut role being the mystical leading role of Strange a religious play by her mother Mrs Frances Guignard Gibbes Keith has chances on Broadway for next season it is said Her rise has been rapid indeed with last winter her first one in the metropolitan East She played in a number of plays with a stock company working between Lakewood and New York City This summer Mrs King has been offered the leading roles in a series of plays with a stock company in the Green Mountains of eastern Vermont quite unusual considering Mrs King's small theater experience Tltese rails with the summer stock companies it is understood are difficult to obtain and are much sought One of the plays in which she will take tlie leading role is Little a play which starred Tallulah Bankhead when a touring com' pany played it in Columbia last winter Columbiana are watching Mrs King's stage career with much interest and each new triumph is received with pleasure About 22
