BY HENRY McLEMORE
UP Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK — (UP) — Once
a year 1 get, a scoop, or a
"scooperoo" as one of the bril-
liantly-trained, keyhole peeping
journalists along Broadway likes
to call it.
Last, year I startled the world
with the observation that Zeke
Bonura was an uncertain infield-
er.
The year before that I disclos-
ed that Joe Louis had a very
powerful left. hand, and a better-
than-adequate right hand.
Other and earlier scoops
of mine were that Mike Jac-
obs was not promoting for
his health or because of a
love for the game; that Bill
Terry rated Bill Terry as
the best manager in base-
ball, and that Hill Terry
considered Bill Terry as one
swell guy.
Now comes my exclusive bit'
of information for the year 1910,
and I don't mind telling you
that, I have had it, copyrighted,
and that any person or persons
(including the Scandinavian I
saw sneaking around my home
this morning) who steals it, will
be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.
Exclusive Matter
Here is the exclusive matter:
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
president of the Belmont and I up the
Pimlico ra.ee tracks, master of ed the
Sagamore farm, and proprietor j hurling
and typesetter of the Sagamore
Press, has this to-announce:
He is not going to buy the
Brooklyn Dodgers of the Nation-
al league.
He is not interested in buying
a share of a wholesale grocery
in Alhanv. N. Y.
He has positively refused to
risk any of his money in a comp-
any that plans to build motors
for gliders.
He will not, under any cir-
cumstances, back a concern that
has a patent on unbreakable
clay pigeons.

Mr. Vanderbilt gave inc.
this, information over a cup
of lea and a mess of crump-
ets at Empire City track. He
is very weary of having all
sorts of persons approach
li iin in an effort <o get him
to sink bis money into some
sort of project. He confessed
that he is not safe front men
with designs on liis money
even at Belmont Park at the
unearthly hour of five in the
morning.
"There was a fellow out to
see me at daybreak yesterday,"
the young sportsman said, "and
1 couldn't clock my two-year-
olds for listening to him explain
his development of a silent mot-
or for gliders. Sometimes having
a bit of money becomes very
trying."
He explained that just, because
he was a Dodger fan, and went
to I to nearly all of the team's home
a| games, did not mean that he
wanted to buy the club.
Doesn't Bet
"Larry MacPhail always comes
to Belmont and Pimlico," Alfred
explained, "artd so I think it
only courteous that I patronize
his business. Besides, I'm a base-
ball nut and the Dodgers are
the only team with any color in
this vicinity. But after watching
the Reds work on them, 1 think
I'd rather buy in Cincinnati if I
were in search of a ball team."

Reds Make It A Runaway Race
Dodgers Falter
When Going
Gets Hottest
Cincinnati Wins 17
Out of Last 19 Games;
Take Day Off
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Correspondent
NEW YORK—The Cincinnati
Reds took the day off Thursday
and surveyed the past, present
and future.
In the past three weeks
they've won 17 out of 19 games
and practically made a runaway
of the National league race. On
the morning of July 4 the Reds
were a game behind the Dodg-
ers. Thursday morning they
were eight games ahead of the
stumbling Dodgers with no sign
of cracking up.
During the past three weeks
the Reds' most important feat
was knocking off the Dodgers
in five out of six games. Even
Leo Durocher is beginning to
read the handwriting on the
wall and is pushing Larry Mac-
Phail to bring in the best men
available in the Dodgers
farm system. Indications were
that Lefty Lee Grissom with
Montreal and Ed Head, right
hander with Elmira, would be
brought in to patch up a stag-
gering pitch staff.
Sentiment Divided
Looking ahead to October the
Reds are wondering who they'll
meet in the world series. They
had hoped to tangle with the
Yanks again but from the pres
ent outlook the Yankee dynasty
has just about toppled. If the
Yanks can't win, sentiment is
about evenly divided among the
Reds for the Tigers and Indians.
Bucky Walters notched his
15th triumph Wednesday night
when he pitched the Reds to a
6-3 victory over the Dodgers
giving Cincinnati a clean sweep
of the three-game series. It was
Walters' sixth straight and the
Reds' sixth in a row. A crowd
of 30,102 saw the Reds blast
Tex Carleton to cover in the
second and win under wraps.
Pecking away at Claude Pas-
seau one run at a time, the
Bees nosed out the Cubs, 4-3,
and snapped a 6-game losing
streak. Rowell's triple in the
seventh drove home the win-
ning run.
Tigers Have On
The Tigers held on to their
half game lead in the American
league by slamming out a 7-5
victory over the Senators while
the Indians were coming
through with a 7-6 win over
the Athletics. Hank Greenberg
hit homer No. 18 with two men
on and Pinky Higgins clouted
for the circuit with two mates
on. Freddy Hutchinson was
credited with his first victory
of the season although he had
to have relief in the seventh.
Roy Weatherley's two-run hom-
er featured Cleveland's tri-
umph.
The Yankee pitching fell apart
as the Browns slugged out a
14-12 triumph. The Yanks used
six pitchers, their high mark
of the year, and the Browns call-
ed on five to attain the doubt-
ful distinction of equaling the
major league record for pitchers
used in one game. The Yanks
blew a 6-0 and 8-3 leads.
The White Sox moved within
one game of the Yanks by beat-
ing the Red Sox, 12-10, for their
sixth straight victory, Kuhel,
Solters, Kennedy and Dietrich
hit homers in the 20-hit assault
on four of Joe Cronin's so-called
pitchers.

'All American Cup Match' Proposed
For Publinx-Private Club Teams
LOS ANGELES — (UP)—
The American Golf associa-
tion Thursday announced
plans to hold an "all-Ameri-
can cup match" between the
10 leading public links golf-
ers and the 10 leading pri-
vate club golfers.
President Fred O'Bannon
said the association had
planned the match to fill
the gap caused by the im-
possibility of holding the
Walker cup matches this
year.
The match will be held in
late September, and the site
Softball Games
League Contests
Both games on Thursday's soft-
ball card are league contests,
with Dr. Dann's and Nolan Fur-
niture's girls teams opening the
program. The second game on
the double-bill is between the
Sparkplugs and L&L Cafe.
Friday night another fast pro-
gram has been booked. In the
first game U. S. Gypsum comp-
any plays the strong Gulf Oilers
of Abilene in a return game. The
Sweetwater team lost a 1 to 0
decision to the Oilers in Abilene
a week ago, although the Sweet-
water pitcher gave up but two
hits. Sweetwater, likewise, was
limited to two hits.
In the second game Friday
night Sweetwater's Gulf Refin-
ery team plays the Magnolia-
Medicos in a league contest.
will be alternated among
various sections of the coun-
try, O'Bannon said.
He said Atlanta, New
York, Chicago, Denver, and
Los Angeles had been men-
tioned as proposed sites for
the initial match.
Committees have been ap-
pointed to select the two
teams. Grantland Rice, Bob-
by Jones and Herb Graffis
will pick the club team, and
Damon Runyan, Henry Mc-
Lemore and Davis J. Walsh
will choose a public links ag-
gregation.
