NEW YORK, June 8 P) The
IJld guy who didn't look It leu nod
across the table to capture tho
listener's undivided ntlcntlon . , .
"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."

And, sure enough, Don Bingo

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.

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.
Count's Injury

NEW YORK, June 8 (Pi
Count Fleet, Mrs. John D. Hertz'
triple companion three-year-old
colt, isn't going to spend his
seven-week vacation in a hospi
tal, after all.
Don Cameron, his trainer, said
today that the x-ray pictures of
the Count's swollen left fore
ankle revealed' no bone injuries
and that the filling or swelling
was caused by nothing more se
vere than a sprain.
"The fact that there are no
bone Injuries makes us feel that
there is a very good chance he
will start in the Arlington classic
at Chicago, July 24," Cameron
said.

Lead Major League Batters
NEW YORK, June 8 (IP)
Babe Dahlgren of the Phillies
and Vernon (Junior) Stephens of
the St. Louis Browns, making
their hits count till their draft
boards count them in for heavy
hitting of another sort, still are
leading the batters in the major
leagues.
Stephens left the Browns last
week to answer an induction
call, but found that he had a few
more days left, and rejoined the
club in the east. His hitting has
been up and down since his re
turn, but today his average was
.369, just seven points under his
mark of a week ago. He still was
far out in front of his American
league rivals.
Dahlgren, who has been told
he probably would be called for
induction in Jury, slipped one
point to .367, but also retained
an ample lead in the National
league. '

Angels and Seals Claim
Coast Play Spotlight
By The Associated Press
The Coast league rounds out
its second month of play this
week with the two top teams,
Los Angeles and San Francisco,
holding the spotlight today in
their first meeting of the season.
Those old northwest rivals,
Seattle and Portland, will not go
into action until tomorrow at
Seattle, with the situation vastly
different than in other years.
Seattle has swapped spots with
Sacramento in the cellar so often
it looks like home to both clubs,
while the Beavers, after a shaky
interval, have been making a
steady climb to the first division.
They took five out of nine games
from Los Angeles, the only series
set back for the Angels, and six
out of seven from Oakland on
their southern trip.
The Rainiers have won 10
dinals, who increased his pace
seven points to .352 and kept
ahead of his rapidly rising team
mate, Harry Walker, who had an
average of .348 today.
Oris Hockett of Cleveland
continued the runner-up in the
American league with .343, a
thirteen point rise over the last
week. .
In general the National league
hitting remained superior to that
of the American league. The
tenth batter in the senior circuit
was Lonnie Frey of "Cincinnati
with .303 whUe the tenth in the
American was Doc Cramer of
Detroit with .274.
Chicago Boxing
Fans See Show
CHICAGO, June 8 (IP) A
crowd of 3300 shelled out $17,
307 to make Chicago's first out
door boxing show of the season
a success last night.
In the feature of three 10
round bouts, the weaving,
crouching Philadelphia veteran,
Gus Dorazio, took a decision
from Lem Franklin, Cleveland
heavyweight. Franklin, holding
an eight-pound weight advant
age at 203, failed to land a solid
blow on his bobbing opponent
and lost every round.
