"Interested In ruclng?" ho clc- mnndod. "I can tell you n lot bout It. First skating race I ever won was at I.ntonla race 'trick." . . . The question was surprising one to hear at an ice rink on a hot nprlnR afternoon but after a few minute with Earle (Skater) Reynolds you coma to expect almost anything . , , Besides, the Idea of skating at a horse truck seemed Intrigu Ing and you suggested that he toll you about It. INTRODUCING THE SKATER ' By that time Reynold! was watching the Ice skaters practic ing their stcpa on tho smooth Ice land rink . . . "Thcrc'a Evelyn Chandler," he exclaimed. "Nice ld. I'M have to go down and Qpeak to her." ... In his absencu you learned a Utile about Rey nolds' history . . . Skater Is 75 years old, with bushy gray hair, but he's still young enough to skat and to tutor a couple o( troupes of roller skaters he has touring with the big circus . . . He has been a Jockey, speed skating champion, hockey play er, for ten yeurs he was personal betting commissioner for John W. (beta-million) Gales and as a theatrical man ha tuught Anna Held to perform on roller skates. A STRAPPING LAD "About that race," Reynolds resumed, "there wcro three of us Jockeys at Lutonla, and wc got up a raco. Wo all wore riding boots, of course, and my father ho was tho first man for whom Tod Qloan ever rodo a race was mart enough to strap my skates on tight. The others couldn't keep their skates on those light boots, so I won easily." NOT QUITE A MILLION The fabulous John W. Gates' nickname may have been an ex aggeration, but Reynolds gives him credit for making tho larg est wager ever made at a race track. "It was on Sysonby at Brighton beach on July 20, 1003," Skotcr said positively. "Mr. Gates bet $420,000. Syson opened at 3 to 10 and Mr. Gates backed him off tho boards at I to 8 . . , Ila won $02,000 on that race and was $12,000 loser in the way. 8KIMMING THE ICE "I also helped build tho sec ond indoor lco rink in the United Etates," Skater continued . . , OThe first one was the Fourth treet rink In Baltimore . , , My father and I got Tattcrsall's old horse barn In Chicago and turned it Into a rink. Wo bought cold brina In hogsheads for 50 cents at packing plant a' block away and laid pipes to carry It to tho . rink." They These' eight membors of the army air forces who rode with Maj. Gen.

Frank Ramsey, local high school football coach, worked behind the bat In its first game of tho year. Frank has not had much practice to date, but hand led the offerings of Bellottl very well. Although the Pelicans wore soundly trounced they did look Improved over their previous games with the Camp Newell army outfit.

The Man from Missouri point ed to Some Chance, which he formerly trained In the preten tious Calumet farm stable. Some Chance popped down In front with 105 pounds on his 1 back, which Included the vcter- 2 on Jockey, Joe Rcnick.

Market Wise, which ran second only to be disqualified, conceded the brown colt of Blng Crosby and Lin Howard, 24 pounds. Shut Out spotted him 22. Attention, which placed with the disquali fication, and Devil Diver gave 17. It's true. Weight will stop a train. It Is generally accepted that Juno 8, 1943 from one to three pounds rep resent a length, dependent upon tho distance. Some Chance beat With Regards by a length and a half at six furlongs. Don Bin go beat Market Wise by three lengths at a mile and a quarter. John B. Campbell, who dis tributes the burdens at all the New York tracks, has the repu tation of being the best racing secretary in the business, but trainers of the better handicap horses are beginning to grum ble. 'The mere mention of Calu met means 10 pounds more in New York," says Ben Jones. Along this lino it is signifi cant that Jones is shipping Whirloway and thc long Calu met string to Chicago, June 9, where the biggest money win ner In history will probably again meet Alsab in tne biars and Stripes handicap at Wash ington park, July S. Jones may choose between this one and the Massachusetts handicap at Boston's Suffolk Downs the same afternoon, but Alsab is one up on the son of Blenheim II in . three hard- fought engagements, and Plain Ben of Parnell is keen to even the score, especially with a stretch-burner like the little dark chestnut with the long tail. . Nam Horses Seek Break The idea of a handicap is to bring horses to the wire to gether, and John B. Campbell is famous for blanket finishes. One lightly-weighted horse after another has won In New York, however, until some train ers are saying that Racing Sec retary Campbell seems to have a grudge against name horses. There are other places to run for important money, and these same trainers assert that Webb Everett and Charley McLennan are more conservative. Everett assigns weights at Arlington park and at Washington park, where this year's Arlington park meeting will be held. McLennan is the handicapper at Suffolk Downs and Garden State park, near Camden. v Anyway, Whlrlaway Is on his way, and there is every indica tion that Plain Ben Jones ex pects a more even break outside of New York. Portland May Get Galento-Nova Bout PORTLAND, Ore., June 8 VP) A Lou Nova-Tony Galento bout here in August is under consid eration; Matchmaker Joe Water man said yesterday. Waterman said negotiations would be started if Nova dis poses of Paul Hartnek, Omaha, in a 10-round fight here Friday night. He added that Ray Car lcn, Nova's manager, had agreed to the fight.

Dodgers Go Into Tie for League Lead Brooklyn Poddlat Pirates . ,4 to 1; Major Loagu Activity Hits Lull Bf JUDBOM BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The major leagues drew up what they called a "tight" sched ule this year to curtail all pos sible travel, but their program has run into a "loose" spot this week even though it doesn't call for added mileage. From last Sunday until next Saturday the total activity In baseball'! big leagues amounts to only 13 games. One of these was played last night as the Brooklyn Dodgers stopped off at Pittsburgh on their way home from the west and paddled the Pirates 4 to 1. Fred Fltzslmmons, whose lone loss to Pittsburgh in three years came earlier this spring, was in good form as he scattered seven hits and smothered all the Buc caneer batters except Frankie Gustlne. Gustine collected four hits, one of which was a triple that led to a run In the first in ning. But the Dodgers solved South paw Wally Hebert in the eighth for four runs on a walk and four hits, the last of which was a double by Bob Bragan. The victory returned the Dod gers to a virtual tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for the National league lead although the Red- birds continued to lead in the percentage column, .650 to .630. The Dodgers have won three more games than St. Louis, but also have lost three more. Today all clubs in both leagues are idle and some of those which also had yesterday off will play only one game before Saturday, when the full forces will be re sumed. There will be three games in each league tomorrow, the Na tional bringing together Boston at Brooklyn in a twilight affair, Pittsburgh at St. Louis and Phil adelphia at New York while the American league bill of fare calls for Chicago at Detroit in a twi light tussle, St. Louis at Cleve land and Washington at Bostou. Thursday there will be four games in the American and two in the National and Friday there ' will be one in each league.
