Alamo 4 13 .861 .87 That the sport loving American public will enjoy a rare treat in the running of tbe international specials in which the French champion, Kpin-ard, is to meet the best of our horsys, is evident from the record nnd condition of tbe invader, and the quality of the horses named to oppose him at Belmont park, Aqueduct and La-tonia. That these races are to be held is largely because of the desire of Pierre Werthoimer to demonstrate that he has in Kpinard a real champion.

He was anxious to spud him here last fall to take part in the $100,000 international race, in which Papyrus All-Western conference and was men tioned on several Ail-American telec tions. .875 nja He made a distinguished record in iooo .900 Summer Clothing 3-Piece Spring Clothing Extra Trousers Pajamas Underwear .870 .940 .93 basketball in which diversion be held down a varsity forward position for three years and made the All-Western conference five. As a baseball plnyer he was reckoned as tbe best first baseman that ever wore spikes on iooo looo .952 .854 .947 was beaten by Zev, but as that event. the Minnesota diamond. 1000 .97 In these three sports he will guide the destinies of future varsity men 1000 .815 nt Kentucky and will start in with .910 .887 .980 IOOO vengeance as soon as his material begins to appear for entrauce at the nniversity.

With the wealth of material which .97 .849 .811 Is expected to enter the school there is little doubt but Eklund will turn out a winning team. Scores of high school Btars have signified their in .7911 .088 .953 .749 .848 .913 tention of casting their lootball for tunes with the Wildcats this fall and IOOO Straw Hats PRICE II; Greentree Stable's Bialto; R. T. Wilson's Wilderness; (J. A.

Cochran's My Play and Oak Itidge Stable's Lau-rano. The entries for the first of the series at three-quarters of a mile at Belmont park, includes in addition to those named above such fliers as (ioahawk, Miss Star, Lucky Play, Outline, Bracadale, Apprehension. Worth-more, Sun Flag, Sun Pal, Spic and Span and Baffling. For the Aqueduct mile the Ranco-cas Stable has named eight in all, with Homer and Stanwix in aiiuuiwii to those entered in the Belinout park event. For the Latonia race, Enchantment, from Harry Payne Whitney's collection, is prominent.

Hal Price Headley's fine mare, Chaeolft; Mrs- Louise Viau's Audacious; me many-time derby winner Block (iolil and Carl Weidemann's In Meinoriam round out a field of excellence. As the conditions of the races call for an entrance fee of $LTrO each nnd nn additional $r00 for starters, the races will be of great value and should Kpinard be capable of winning all three he will bring his owner more than $100,000. even if the plan to offer additional races of a value of pach at Louisvlle and Laurel should fall by the wayside. That Eugene Leigh believes Kpinard capable of such a feat is plain to all who have talked to him since his arrival in this country. The coming of Kpinard wns fraught with quite as much interest ns that of Papyrus last fall and the training of the inavder will be closely scrutinized.

Kpinard's individuality has been commetned upon generally. lie is one nf the longest horses for his height that experts have ever seen hereabouts, and because of this characteristic he has been pronounced abnormal by some of the best judges who have looked him over critically. Such conformation usually betokens length of strength and those who have seen the horse in his races abroad say Unit while his action is of the low, slenling kind, like that nf a fox, he covers a lot of ground at each bound, it will be interesting to see how he compares with Man o' War in this respect.

"Boots" Nipper, nationally known auto slunter and race car driver, propelled his Laurel special which will run in lii small car race Sunday, on (lie track late Friday and burned the breeze for Beverul laps. The little car appears to be unusually fast aud rail birds are predicting it will be out iu front at the finish Sunday.

Nipper declares bis special built car in which he will attempt to somersault Sunday is in condition aud the program will be carried out in full with eight eVents. He will do a complete somersault, car and all, in bis stunt events. In the big car melee some real speed is promised with the Orange Nlercer, the (Salvestoii Stiidebaker, the San Antonio tudehaker, the Beaumont (jnrdner and the new Fulner special bidding for first honors. Hill Miilone of Halloa has been secured to pilot the Orange entry while "Wild Bill" Wade will handle the Carter entry from (ialveston. Both cars are repuled to be unusually fast.

Fans are promised something out of the ordinary when five Ford touring cars, with tops thrown back, answer the starters flag in the ladies 3-mile race. Miss Ethel Scott of Jacksonville. Florida, created considerable comment when she "tried out" her mount on the oval Friday. She convinced those who saw her that she has a henvy foot" when behind the wheel and many are miming her as winner. The match race between the Beaumont (iardner and the new Fulner special is attracting wide attention.

Heated driving rivalry hns existed he tween the two drivers for some time and it is expected to ciiltninnte when the two enrs Hush Sunday. For the first I me in tbe history of the locnl bowl curs that are bent nul in the elimination rnces will be barred from the main events. Nipper, who is in charge of the program, pointed out thai only cars which showed fast time in the elimination bents should run. since a slow car tended to endanger the drivers of Ihe speedier cars. Only seven cars will start in each of the three innin rnres.

No An vember 22 here, and a tentative game i i was promoted to bring the winner of the Epson derby, usually the best 3-year-old in England, into competition with the best 3-year-old in the United States, the suggestion fell to the ground.

It was at the request of Mr. Wert-heimer that the respective races were scheduled at six furlongs, one mile and one mile and a quarter. That one of the contests should be run in Kentucky was the suggestion of Major Belmont, who wanted as many persons as possible to see these notable contents which should have a far reaching influence on tbe future of the turf. From the time the matter took shape Major Belmont found ready allies in President James Shevlin of the Queens County Jockey club, and Colonel M. J.

Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey club- To date the plans ft)r the series, which will have a value of more than $100,000. have gone according to schedule. All that is necessary to make the series a brilliant success is the continued well being of Kpinard, whose condition nt thin time is perfect. It was certain that American sportsmen would do their part in furnishing competitors for Kpinard. but the result of the closing on July far exceeded the hopes of the promoters.

Every good horse, Kast and West, is nominated for one or more of the tests nnd it is evident that while Kpinard is regarded as a great race horse the sportsmen nnd sportswomen too for some of the entries come from stables whose destinies are guided by women have an abiding faith in the quality of the American thoroughbred and believe him capable of holding his own against those of any other country. with Culver Military Institute.

(Bump-us) Jones, who, in his first hi lengue giiuie ochieved fume by hurliDg lio-hit gnme. This was the second time in the history of major league baseball where a rookie made bis debut by nrevejiling a safe hit to be mude off iii pitching.

"Buini'iis" Jones had a wonderful aenBon in 1S112 and while with the Joliet of the III league pitched his first sixteen games without being defeated and in tjiat many games was touched for onl.w4J4 snfe hits, which produced 10 runs, on average of one per game. This unusual work attracted attention and he was signed by the Cincin. nati club of the National league and the only game he hurled that season was the classic. Charlie Comiskey was manager of the Reds that year and played first base. The only error charged against the Beds was made by Jones, together with that and issuing four passes it barred him from a perfect game.

BALTIMORB, Aug. 8 Australia advanced anothea rung in her climb for the right to meet the i'nitefi States in the international tennis battle for the Davis cup when she defeated Mexico here Friday in the doubles. Gerlad TatterBOD and I'at O'Hara Wood turned back Ignacio Itorbolla and Francisco Gcrdes in straight sets, 6-4, 0-4, 6-0. Coupled with Thursday's two victories in singles, Friday's match gave the Australians three matches or a majority.

For two sets today the doubles produced excellent tennis. The Mexicans tired badly in the last set and Patterson and Wood had ittle trouble running through six straight games. The Australians used their peculiar formation throughout the match, with Patterson at the net and Wood in back court. Both played brilliantly. Saturday Patterson will play agninst Bnrbolla and Wood will meet Manuel Llano in singles, but the results will not affect the Australian team's victory.

Mr. Gladstone, the great English statesman, was once, much against hit wishes, compelled to piny golf. He is reported to have commented upon the experiment that it was a good walk spoiled. speed, craft and nis left-hand advantage of start toward the base.

Horsby, out this year to break the Wagner record of four straight seasons of National league batting supremacy, is now batting over .400. Other batsmen lift 'em and buht 'em through. As a hitter, pure and simple, his record seems to place bfm above all the batsmen of the old time and of the present day.
