i Heavy Track Greets Bang-Tails on Eleventh Day’s Ak-Sar-Ben Racing Card ... V! . My Daddy Wins > Feature Event After Hard Race y * Virginius Gives Son of Set back Close Chase Down Home Stretch—Finish Thrills Crowd. ING AK • SA» BEN'S 11th day of thoroughbred l racing in Omaha waa run off yes terday over a heavy track and without any very long shots sticking their noses in front of the Judges'stand for first money. The track was heavy due to the rains of the last two days, but long toward the final race of the after noon 01’ Sol made his appearance and was rapidly drying the oval out. Large fields went to the barrier in , each race except the fifth and the railblrds were again treated to excit ing finishes. The muddy condition of the track, especially close to the rain, made the Jockeys take their mounts to the outside coming down the final stretch and also afforded the specta tors more thrilling finishes, as two or more hang-tails generally managed to make up ground coming down the final furlong, which provide the k leader with close competition. I The feature race of the day hap pened to be the fifth. My Daddy, from the Thompson stable, and with Jockey McCorkle whispering words of encouragement in his ears, managed to win the affair, but not until Vir ginius gave the son of Setback a race down the final furlong that will live a long time in the memory of those who gazed upon the battle for first money these two thoroughbreds staged., Beaver City Defeats Danbury.

Western league players have unbroken hitting streaks since the start of the present race, but they will have to keep going quite a while if they hope to estab lish a league record. It was Joe Wilhnit of Wichita who established the present world's rec ord of 69 consecutive games in 1919. During this run lie slammed out 115 singles, 24 doubles, 9 triples and 5 home runs, drew 34 liases on balls and scored 83 runs. Since he was charged with 297 times at bat, he had a batting percentage of .515 for his perfect period which extended from June 14 to August 19. Wilholt now Is in the Pacific Coast league.

June 12.—When Babe Ruth struck out with the bases full in that dramatic eighth inning of the final game of flie 1923 world's series at the Polo ground, he uncon sciously created an opportunity for Bob Muesel, who took advantage of it and produced the hit that sent the floundering Giants on the rocks of defeat. That hit gave to all Yankee fans and one who must have been neutral during the series the thrill that comes once in a lifetime. The neu tral fan was Dad Meusel. the fath er of Bob and of Emil Meusel, the Giants' outfielder, who had traveled across the continent to see his sons oppose each other in the blue rib bon event of the diamond. Telling of the entry of the’brother into baseball, Bob who has two other brothers besides Emil, known to the fans as "Irish.” said: "Many folks have asked my where my oldest brother got the nickname, Irish. It wag given him in Philadel phia. when he was a member of the Phillies. The bleacherites thought he looked like an Irishman and told him so with milt'll loudness on many oc casions. The trick label has stuck to him ever since. "My father wanted us all to be baseball players. It was the loftiest amBTtion he had for his offspring. Ho brought home bats and balls and encouraged us to play. On Sunday afternoon he would take the four of us to the Los Angeles ball park to see the Angels play. "We caught the fever in 1915 when I attending the Los Angeles High school. Irish played on the school team and with other amateur clubs. He and I were both pitchers In those days. “When we went to the games on Sunday at the Angel* .Park, Irish rooted for Vernon and I for Los Angeles. Little did we know that in a few years we would each be on the club we rooted against, and bat tling against eacfi other. "In 1924 Irisii, who is three years my senior, wss picked by a scout of the Washington Americans. He did not last long there and was farmed to the Elmira club of the New York State league. After several years In minors the Phillies got him in a draft from Los Angeles and from there he went to the Giants in 1921. "George Stovall, who played first and managed the Vernon club signed me up after I had pitched several games for the Los Angeles High school. I pitched many games for Vernon snd had fair success hut Stovall, thinking of my hitting and throwing ability, converted me into an outfielder. I cam# to the Yankees In 1920." Boh Meusel In addition to being a sterling hitter, possesses one of the most remarkable arms on the major league diamond. » -- > American Association V__ / Columbu*. O Jur« 12— P H K Mil wn uk*a .
