cellar after an 11-0 shutout ad
ministered by the Pittsburgh
Firatcs.
The pride of Flatbush suffer
ed a Jarring blow as "dem bums"
took over last place for the first
time In Manager Leo Durocher's
regime and few of the remaining
loyal would predict any better

off by Brooklyn President
Branch Rickey earlier this sea
son, weildcd the whitewash
brush today for his second suc
cessive victory over his former

SIXTH AND IVY STREETS
COUNT FLEET, ONE
OF TURF'S GREAT
New York, July 22 (U.R)
Count Fleet, cheated by a bad
ankle of a chance to become the
greatest horse in the history of
the turf, was retired today to
the quiet acres of Owner John
D. Hertz s Paris, Ky., farm.
An unanimous choice in 1943
as the horse of the year, the
sleek brown colt was injured as
he scored the first quintuple tri
umph in racing history, and
Trainer Don Cameron finally
announced his retirement to
stud after repeated failures to
bring him back to racing form.
But, as he faded into breed
ing obscurity, the "best since
Man o' War" carried off to the
Kentucky countryside one of the
greatest records in the history
of horse highway. Six times he
had gone to the post as a three-year-old,
and never had he been
defeated. And nowhere in the
record books could you match
his feat of having won the big
five of the toughest class the
Wood Memorial. Kentucky Der
by, Prcakness, Withers and Bel
mont Stakes. To this he added
a pre-scason allowance triumph.

complete command of Utah's
open golf championship at half
way today.
Displaying complete domina
tion of field and of the long and
treacherous Fort Douglas club
alike, they banged into a one
and two position with two par
shattering rounds on the Fort
Douglas course this afternoon.
Nelson flashed four birdies on
each side with only one bogey
for a 65 and a half way total of
132. He was terrifically accurate
on the greens, rolling in three
putts of 15 feet, one of 20 feet
and anDthcr on the 6570 yards
long course. McSpaden, after a
shaky start, was equally dead
ly at close range.

returned from conquered Saipan
island, told a press conference
today his only 1944 political ac
tivity will be to cast his absentee

THICK OF FIGHT
St. Louis, July 22 (U.R) The
Boston Red Sox climbed into
the thick of the American league
pennant race here tonight as
they whipped the St. Louis
Browns 8-4 in the opening game
of a four-game series.
Mike Ryba, making his first
start of the year, gained his
eighth victory, although he had
to have help from Francis (Red)
Barrett as the Red Sox climbed
to a position three games behind
the league leading Browns and
only a half game behind the
New York Yankees.
After tying the score 1-1 in
the second inning, the Sox broke
loose with four runs in the third
to clinch the victory. Lou Fin
ney's walk, singles by George
Metkovich and Pete Fox and
doubles by Bob Johnson and Hal
Wagner plus an error by Gene
Moore gave the Sox their margin
of victory.
The Browns knocked Ryba
out in the seventh as they came
within one run of a tie, 5-4 but
the Sox then routed George
Caster with a three-run outburst
in the eighth.
