A Day At The Races: Scribe Wagers, Casey Stengel Watches, Wishes He Had Saved Dough !iin cM Hnnnrc As Best Pilot Yanks Shove A's Five Games Back With 6-2 Victory Br FRANK M'K AP Newsfealiire Sports Editor NEW YORK. July Going to the races 1 a good habit good habit not to get into. You see people you know and horses you don't know. It you believe In comparative times, you study the past perform ances the night before. The day ot the races you get out to the track and. Just to be polite, listen to peo ple you know tell you about horses they dont know. Take the first race on Belmont Day. It looks like a good race to watch. It's for 3-year-old maidens, horses that have yet to win. Earl fsnde Is running a thing called Spuds. It figures and Sande ran ure the winner's share of t&li. Anybody can for that matter. There's a first time starter named Casemate and he's had good work- I.UI. A lie puuuc ninara nun la write would have gieii you both win in r." The third race Is another one of tho.se things a hurdle race "about l miles." The racing people aren't sure about the distance. The public makes the right choice. Chalet D Or. tne favorite, wins even though the second choice. Firebet, finishes first, r-ut Firebet left his rider at the first hurdle. The horse got quite a hand from the stands but those who bet on Chalet D'Or collected. We put a deuce on the winner Just to have a rooting Interest in the race. Certainly there was no other reason. The gelding returned only $4.70. Of ficially he won by 13 lengths but ap peared to be ridden out. Maybe his jockey thought Fircbet's Jockey was hiding or else he didn't know his contention was a riderless horse. The next heat is an allowance for 2-year-olds, horses that may make history as 3-year-olds. It looks like Androcles. Detective and Othello the strength of works and his ! and they run that way. rider, Ted Atkinson. (He won.) So Then comes a sprint for older you put him in two daily doubles, horses. It looks like a favorite day one with Grandma O and the other and we suing along with Mango with Bouncing Boots in the second ' hick, a horse that got its name when race, another of those headaches ' an Indian, seeing a man hiccough- more commonly known as a maiden race. Only this time it's for older maidens. 3-year-olds and upward. At the last minute some smart money shows for Irish wit. He beats Grandma O by a head. Bouncing Boots bounces home sixth in the 14-horse field. You reach in your pocket, examine the two doubles tickets and tear them up quickly before someone sees them and says: "Gee, wish I had seen you before 1 lng. is supposed to have said: "Man go-hick." When Mangohick runs second to Eagle Eve you feel like looking for that Indian. Next comes the piece de resistance of the day. the $87,160 Belmont Stakes, third and final leg ot the triple crown which includes the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. The draws down 100.900. ten per cent of which goes lo the rider. Caput, ot whom they said "could not go the distance." gets a perfectly Judged ride by Atkinson. Ponder, the favorite, gels pocketed while 10 lengths of fthe pace In the back stretch and his late charge Just misses by a half length. You start to leave to beat the crowd of 40.431 and a friend grabs you by the arm ano says: "8urely you're going lo stay for the last race. Eddie Arcaro is riding and he never sticks around that long tor nothing. He's on Town house." (Townhouse runs last, beat en 30 lengthsi. Another friend tells you Alslral has been working well. (Alslral didn't know it because he runs eighth). You flnslly get out ahead of the crowd after having three winners and three seconds. You count your money and find you've made one dollar. The little lady says: "All right, so you won. Now take me out to dinner." You sit down prepared to forget all about the horses when a good looking little fellow weighing about 111 pounds sits down at the next table. "Why honey. It's Steve Brooks." you say. And honev says, "So what?" "But he rode Ponder today," you say. "Well, say hello to him when we leave." honey says. "Tell him you lost 110 on Ponder." "Can't ss" that." you tell her. "Steve lost StiOOO when Ponder lost." Well, tell him you're sorry and class horses are in this mile and a let's go." honey says. "You can't half run for 3-year-olds. The winner I beat the races." e-f Coast League PCL RUN IS FOR SECOND EMERY NEALE HAS NET PLAYOFF LEAD if PORTLAND.

Ry The Associated Press How about Casey Stengel manager ot the year? While the wise guys wait for Casey's New York Yankees to wilt, they continue to knock olf the con tenders, one by one. The Philadel phia A s were the latest, shoved live full games behind the Yanks by last night's 6-2 setback. Allle Reynolds' route-going per formance against the A s must have been encouraging to Stengel who kept "SYnhoo ' ui his regular starting turn despite his many knockouts. Reynolds' 9-1 record Is deceiving but there was nothing phony about his flve-hltler at Shlbe park. A two run homer by Hunk Bauer broke a I- 1 tie In the tilth to give Allle a working margin over Lou Brlssle, like Reynolds an all-star pitching selection. Cleveland, tusking another move, crept to within a game and a half ot the As by smothering Chicago. 8-2, with a 17-hlt attack. Everybody except Joe Gordon shared 111 the hit parade that enabled Hob Union to coast home with his ninth victory. HAKIM K CHASM) The Boston Rett Sox trampled Washington. 8-3. and chased Mickey Haefner right off the Senators' ball club. Owner Clark Griffith, dis satisfied with Haefner s "indifferent" performance, gave the pint-sited lefty his walking papers after a bad first inning. Haefner walked five, messed up a grounder and allowed one hit as the Sox rolled up -a five run lead. That was more than enough for young Chuck Stobbs In the game that was called at the end ot the sixth to permit the Sox to catch a train home. Detroit teed oft on Red Embree for six runs In the first inning to snap its five-game losing streak with a 9 2 romp over the St. Louis Browns. The Tigers had only three hits In their big Inning. A costly fumble by Bob Dillingrr meant four unearned runs. Brooklyn boosted its National league lead to two full games by trimming the Boston Braves. 5-2. in a night game after runner-up St. Louis bowed to Pittsburgh, 2-0. In the afternoon. Joe Hatten survived a threatened ninth inning to record his seventh victory on the strength of a three run Dodger attack on Warren Spahn In the first Inning. O'.l Hodges, with a two-run double, boosted his league-leading RBI total to 64. Ernie Bonham shut out the Card inal with six hits for Pittsburgh's sixth straight victory. Dlno Res trill, the Pirates' fine rookie, drove home both runs with double off Gerry Btaley in the sixth inning. FIRST HOMERS Lefty Dave Koslo had a night he'll never forget as he hit hi first two major league home runs, driving In five runs In the New York Giants' II- J slaughter of the Phillies. Koslo now has a 9-0 career record against the Phils. Despite 17 Chicago hits. Cincin nati eked out a 7-6 edge over the Cubs on Ted Klusewskl's single fol lowing Bobby Adams' triple In the last of the ninth. Walker Cooper got his fourth homer In two days. It was No. 11 for Cooper, seven since he left New York June 24. League's All-Stars Klamath Places Six In July 12 Contest m Right field-Willie Eiios, Pltltbtng.
