75 Trotters
Enter Buggy
Whip Derby

GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 7
The largest field in recent years
is expected to start in the Ham
bletonian tomorrow when the
rich stake for three-year-old
trotters Is renewed over Good
Time park's triangular track.
The names of 15 or more of
the nation's best, led by un
beaten Titam Hanover, are
slated to be dropped into the
entry box by 11 a. m. Eastern
War time, today. If as many as
15 face Starter Steve Phillips at
3 p. m., for the first two-outof-three
mile heats, the race will
be worth in the neighborhood
of $48,000. Not since The March
ioness won the major share of
$53,339 in 1932 has the buggy
whip Derby been of such great
value.
. Rain fell all day yesterday,
leaving the track a quagmire.
Topping today's opening card of
the three-day grand circuit are
the $5000 Arthur S. Tompkins
Memorial for two-year-old trot
ters with 15: starters and the
Geers stake j for two-year-old
pacers with eight nominees.

Seals Battle Oaks
For Fourth Position
By PAUL WELLS
Associated Press Sports Writer
A fight for fourth place and a
chance at the Pacific coast
league Dlayoff money holds the
spotlight tonight as San Fran
cisco and Oakland renew their
bitter feud and attempt to break
a 64-66-.49d deadlock for that po
sition. On the basis of earlier records
this season the Seals should
have the edge, having won 13
out of 22 from the Oaks in three
series. Skipper Lefty O'Doul will
send his star pitcher. Big Bob
Joyce, to the mound in quest of
victory No. 25 and a winning
start for San Francisco. The
Acorns, bolstered at several
spots by the addition of new
men. will use Mitch Chetkovlch
on the hill.
The circuit-leading Portland
Beavers and the second-place Se
attle Rainiers will be idle as they
travel north for the last encount
er of the year between the two
clubs.
i Portland Leads
Portland, eight games in
front, virtually wrapped up the
title at Hollywood last week and
has a chance to knot the string
around the championship pack
age in a three-week home stand.
; Both the Beavers and Rainiers
have 55 games remaining in the
last eight weeks of the season.
If the front-runners only break
even in their remaining contests,
Seattle must win 36 and lose 19
to achieve a tie a hotter pace
than they have hit all year.
Sacramento's Solons, riding an
8-1 win streak over Los Angeles,
appear a good bet to finish in
third where they are now sta
tioned 15 games off the pace but
four in front of the Seals and
Oaks. They will tangle this
week with the sixth-place San
