' Jesse Owens, groat negro sprlnlor ond Olympic champion,
ran Into a tartar yostorday afternoon In "Just Susan," 4 year
old racing filly owned by Pat Hoguo and her jockey, Shorty
Perry. Josso didn't got the head start ho figures on when rac
ing against a horso and "Just Susan" came under the wiro
first by a good 10 yards.
Owens told us after the race that "Just Susan" was the
fastest horso he had run against on the west coast and Shorty
Porry rode a smart race, getting the floct filly off at tho same
llmo that Owens dug from tho starting holes.
It was apparent Immediately that Jesse could not hope to
match tho horse In spood, but Irrespective of tho outcomo of
the race, he made a superb spectacle as he showed the perfect
form that made him a world champion.

With Boston At Senators
Go Down Before Chisox, 7-3
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Jimmy Dykes - must have
tired of hearing folks cross, town
rave about tne pennant-bound
Chicago Cubs and decided to go
looking lor a piece o( tnai
world series cash for his White
Sox.
Facing the two toughest clubs
in the league, Detroit and Wash
ington, at the home lot, the pale
hose have knocked them out six
of seven and pulled to within a
half game of tne third place New
itorK Yannees. iney are only
4 J lengths back of the front
running Tigers.
Only the Philadelphia A's, 21
games behind, are entirely out of
the American league race. so it's
quite possible for Chicago to be
an important factor in the clos
ing weeks.
Sox Held Lead
Nobody gave Dykes' lads a
tumble In the spring but they
hopped away to a running start
and were out front until they
ran into a bad case of the jitters
in the Yankee stadium in late
May.
everybody figured the Sox
had shot their bolt and would be
content to graze in their usual
lower class stall. But they have
managed to hover close to the
first division and now threaten
again.
Earl Caldwell, a 40-year-old
added starter, is one big reason
for the Sox' rise. Although the
Texan has won only five games,
he has copped all of them at
night when his breaking stuff is
most effective. Last night he
stopped Washington, 7-3, Just
when the Senators had a chance
to tie for the lead.
Tigers Split
Detroit left the door open for
Washington to pull up even
when they split an afternoon
doubleheader with Boston. After
Stubby Overmire had handed
Dave Ferriss his fifth setback in
the opener, 5-2, the Red Sox
scored four In the 12th to trim
the Bengals, 7-4.
