coner, My Daddy, Louis
A. Run Out of Money.
By RALPH WAGNER.
HE 4-year-old chestnut
filly Lady Gorham bv
Frizzle-Mcxllow, w a a
not highly recommend
ed to win the Council
Bluffs i urse, the fea
ture race at Ak-Sar
Ben track Tuesday
afternoon, which may
account for the fact
that the George Drutn
heller entry, with F.
Weiner in the saddle
made an easy task of
winning the six fur
long event at the odds of -.10 to 1.
Korbly. a long shot with Paul
Hum riding, was second and Go
J-Vln, the favorite, staggered in third.
Far behind, pounding the earth as
fast has lie could came My Daddy
followed by The Falconer and lust but
not least, Louis A.
Weiner opened up a big lead with
Lady Gorham shortly after the bar
‘j ier broke and from there on had
things mueh his own way. Go Foin,
iiie Jones-l'pdike enliy followed the
Xady until the far turn when Korbly
• ante up with a rush and Jockey
Hum, seeing on opening close to
■file rail, gave the son of Martinet his
head and ho started after Lady Gor
Siam. The latter had been running
4mder restraint and when Jockey
Wfeiner heard Korbly's hoof bedts he
grave his mount the word and the two
jghook off the challenge the Borland
flibroughbred.
* Go Foin was SO cents to the dollar,
and was supposed to take the lead
■t the barrier and coast in over the
finish line. The Jones-L'pdike run
fier ran a good race and showed a
git of sameness by sticking clcse to
the fast-going Korbly. The rare,
‘ifrhile not a victory for Go Foin was
Just what he needed to put him on
edge for coming races.
t-,f\iesday was ladies' day at the
t track and a goodly numbfr of the
fair sex were on hand to see the bang
tails strut their stuff on a fast track.
Secretary Charlie Trimble of the race
meeting was so glad to see such a |
large crowd of women present that j
lie has decided to have another ladies’
day next week, perhaps Tuesday.

CHICAGO CUBS WILL ATTEMPT •
TO TAKE LEAD FROM GIANTS;
NEW YORK 2 GAMES IN FRONT
Race in American League Is
Much Keener With Yankees
Only Half (iame in Front
of Red Sox.
EW YORK, June
3.—The smooth
road over which
the Giants and
Yankees r'ode to
three pennants in
the last three
years today is be
set with bumps
and pitfalls and
unless the New
York teams take a
decided brace, vis
ions of another aII
New York world's
scries will he obscured.
Today ttie Giants are leading the
Cubs who are in. second place, by two
games, and the two teams will meet
in the first of a "crucial series'' at
the Polo grounds tomorrow. Brook
lyn is in third place only three and
a half games behind the Giants, while
the lteds and Pirates, picked as con
tenders for the pennant, arp in tho
fourth and fifth places, respectively.
In the American Irague the race is
much keener. The Yankees arc only
half a game in front of the Red Sox,
who were relegated to the second
division before the season opened and
the same distance in front of the
Tigers, while the Browns, Indians and
Athletics, who were expected to give
tlie Yankees stern opposition are wal
lowing in the second division.
The Giants finished a disastrous
trip in the west during which they
lost the lead for the first time since
the middle of (he summer of 1922.
They dropped eight out of their first
eleven games and then took a spurt
which regained them the lead and are
hanging on to It with a slender
thread.
If (lie Giants in their coming home
stand against the western teams do
not play any better than they did
against those teams on the road, then
the dope is that the National league
will not be represented by New York
in the world’s series.
The Y’ankees, called the super
human baseball team have been hard
pressed by the Red Sox and Tigers
all season. Boston, the surprise team;
of tiie rare to date has been knock
ing at the door of leadership for a
couple of weeks. The Tigers also
have been ready to Jump to the top
rung. Hither team is likely to drop
the Vankees from the perch before
the series with the western teams is
over.
.MrGrnnr and Muggins blame the
poor showing of their teams on the
weather which has affected their
pitching "ace*.” It I* a poor alibi.
The other teams have had the same
brand of weather. Both races have
developed into an open one, with at
least five teams in eaeli league hav-l
ing a look in.

THIRTEEN THOROUGHBREDS TO
COMPETE FOR $2000 PURSE
By "WAG."
HlftTEEN of the

Queen's Plate
handicap, which
w ill be the fea
tlire race on the
program at ''Ak’’
field Wednesday
afternoon.
The Queen's Plate, which will lie
over a distance of six furlongs, will
be worth $1,(00 to the winner and
$350 to the second best thoroughbred.
Third position st the finish is worth
$150, the total purse of the race be
ing $3,000.
I-orena Marrellis, Ihe speedy Jones-j
I pdike chestnut filly, won the Queen’s!
Plate last year, while My Reverie and j
Second Thoughts, also entered in the
handicap tomorrow, finished in or
der named.
The Arauranlian, Pol. R. I,. Raker's
pride and joy. and Second Thoughts,
one of the Jones-1 pdike entries, have
been given the top impost of 117
pounds each, while Judge Pryor, also
of the Baker string, winner of the
Governor's handieap 'Saturday, open
ing da>, will carry 110 pounds, as will
\hadane. honest ol’ "Abbey" of the
H. Irwin establishment.
The weights on Go Koin and Ix>
rena Marcellia hate been reduced
from 111 to 100, respectively, to 108
rarh. The former was eligible to com
pete in the Governor's handicap Sat
urday. blit Trainer Jones thought the
impost of 111 pounds too much, so
took hie thoroughbreds out of the
race. Second Thoughts, who had 118
pounds Saturday, was also taken out
of the Governor's handicap. Tomor
row, Second Thoughts will carry 11*
pounds, the same as The Araucanian.
The latter was scratched Saturday,
when the track became damp.
The Jones-I pdike, C. B Irwin, Col. |
K. I. Baker and the Drumheller
stables will struggle for the big end
of the purse in the handicap. The
Araucanian, Judge I'ryor, Treasurer
and Keegan arc coupled as the Baker
entry, while All Over, Abadane and
( hive will sport the C. B. Irwin silks.
Second Thoughts, Go Foin and
I.orena Marcellia will represent the
Jones-I pdike stable, and My Bevrrie,
l.ady Corham and Buddy, the Drum
heller barns.
The Baker entry, topped by Aran
Tallinn, and followed by Judge Pryor
will go to the post the favorite. Go
Foin, Second Thoughts and I.orena
Marcellia will get a big "play,” as
will Abadane and VII Over, the Ir
win entries.
Tomorrow #'w-’'l mark Go Foins
first race for h;s present owners. He
was claimed out of a race and for.
several week^ has been taking things]
eaey. He has been working out well
and his trainer believes him ready for
the word.
Judge Pryor ran a good race in
the Governor's handicap, but with
such stiff competition as The Aram
canian. Go Foin and Adadanr, the
former rail hardly he expected to fiu
isli on top. Vhadane pushed Judge
Pryor hard Saturday and in another,
stride would have been determined
the winner.
One of the largest crowds that has
ever attended a running 6f the
Queen's handicap Is expected tomor
row. Six other races are on the pro
gram and a good card of turf battle*
is promised the railbirds.

Husker Athletes
to Engage in Final
Olympic Trials
Howard Turner, Omaha,
Among Those Selected to
Make Trip to Boston—
Communities Pay Cost.
LINCOLN, June University of
Nebraska will without much
■I neat ion be represented in the
final Olympic trial* at Boston next
week, Coach Schulte announced Mon
day. In the midwest trials at L*w
renee the lluskers came out with three
tirsts and two seconds. Four of the
competing Hunkers were named as
Olympic timber and invited to make
the trip to Boston.
Now cornea offers from three Ne
braska cities to put up the $175 nec
essary for each contestant to make
the trip. Lincoln will send Marvin
Layton; Fremont Is ready to pay
Maurice Gardner a expenses and Oma
ha will foot Howard Turner's bill.
North Platte Is figuring on sending
Roland Locke. 9
As the Olympics are somewhat re
moved from the collegiate world of
sport it is impossible to appropriate
the money to cover the expense of
the Nebraska contestants. Coach
Schulte pointed out, remarking at the
same time his appreciation of the of- ‘
fers from the different cities.
Howard Turner, Omaha, will com
pete in the high jump. He tied with
Poor of Kansas Saturday, at six feet,
rain preventing them from trying the
bar higher. Jaiyton will be entered
in the 400-meter hurdjes; Gardner,
■ aptain of this year's Missouri Yal
iey championship team, in the $00
meters, and Locke in the 100 and 2$0
rreter events.
In the evert anr of the NebraskJns
place on the Olympic team—and
Coach Schulte believes there is a
chance for them all—the expense in
curred on,the Boston trip will be re
funded.
Dean Higgins, reported in » special
dispatch as the only Husker who did
not place at Lawrence Saturday in
the midwest trials, has a perfect alibi.
He d:d not make the trip.
