CAPTURES MONEY
IN DERBY EVENT
Johren, Ridden by Robinson,

Two Lengths From Ex
terminator. Latonia, Ky., June 22. Johren, the
crack eastern three-year-old by Spear
mint, out of Minola, carrying the
bright blue colors of Harry Payne
Whitney, annexed the Latonia derby
to his already long list of winnings,
when he traveled a mile and a half
today in two minutes and 33 seconds,
finishing three lengths in front of five
other three-year-olds, hailing from
Kentucky and Canada.
Exterminator, Willis Sharpe Kil
mer's Kentucky derby winner, made a
bold try in the stretch run, but
could never reach the fast flying Joh
ren and the Whitney colt, simply
breezing the last sixteenth of a mile,
flashed under the wire with Jockey
Frankie Robinson having him under
raps. Exterminator, who was three
lengths back, was a length in front of
Free Cutter, George Long's entry,
while the Canadian colt Holltnger ,
from the stable of D. Raymond, ob

All American Loop Teams
Represented on Yank Club
(By International New Service.)
In the squad of Yankees now under
the direction of Miller Huggins are
ex-members of every other club in
the American league. All the regular
infielders drew salaries at some time
or another from other clubs Pipp
from Detroit, Pratt from St. Louis.
Feckinpaugh from Cleveland and
Baker from Philadelphia. The three
other clubs are represented on the
pitching staff, as Mogndge once
worked for the White Sox, Bedient
for the Red Sox and Love for the
Senators. This completes the list of
clubs, but not the list of ex-members,
as both Ruel and Marsans have been
with the Browns, Finneran with the
Tigers and Bodie with the Mackmen
and White Sox. Beck, Gilhooleyand
Miller, like Huggins and Pat O'Con
nor, are ex-Cardinals. The other
Yanks have not played with any
other major league club.
Wilhoit to Get Chance for
Regular Job W",th Kew York
The drafting of Benny Kauff will
give Joe Wilhoit an opportunity that
he has sought since he joined the
Giants last season, that of playing
regularly in the outfield. The ardu
ous duty of warming the bench is
not at alt to Wilhoit's liking, and he
will make a strenuous effort to oust
im Thorpe for the regular position,
lanager McGraw is planning to alter
nate between Thorpe and Wilhoit in
the outfield, but Joe is planning to
have the job all to himself. '
Providence Semi-Pro to

good enough to give him his release,,
so that he could nave a major league

CHEVROLET WINS
AUTO CLASSIC ON
CHIGAGU 1KACK
Intrepid Frenchman Makes an
Average of 108 Miles Per
Hour; Mulford Second
and Vail Third.:
Chicago, June 22. Driving the 100
miles without a stop or accident at
the rate of 108 miles an hour Louis
Chevrolet, the French driver, won
the automobile derby handicap val
ued at $30,000 at the speedway course
today. His time was 55:25. Ralph
Mulford thundered into second place
a minute and 42 seconds behind him,
and Ira Vail pulled' up third. His
time was 58:15.. Dan Hickey was
fourth and Barney Oldfield fifth.
The performances of the favorites,
Dario Resta, Ralph De Falma and
Arthur Duray, the European cham
pion here on a leave from the French
army, were disappointing. Resta gave
up the race in the fortieth mile after
being driven into the pits three times
by a balky engine. He was 42 miles
behind the leaders when he wheeled
off the track. De Parma lost eight
miles as a result of motor trouble
and finished eighth. Duray was so
far in the rear that the crowd did
not wait to see him finish.
Resta made a good showing in the
Chicago handicap, a 10-mile dash pre
ceding the big race, by driving his
car into first place in the final heat.
Resta started at scratch with Chev
rolet and nosed the veteran French
man out by two car lengths in a stir
ring finish, Barney Oldfield, who
started at ten seconds, was third. The
time was 5:33.
i There were 14 starters in the 100
mile event Tom Alley was sixth and
Tom Milton seventh.

Cecil Causey Spins Yarn
Which Wins Al! of Prizes
(By International New Service.) .
As the Giants, prevented by rain
from playing the Cardinals, sat
around the lobby of "the hotel re
cently tne taiK turnea into various
channels and the subject of hotel cor
ridors being mentioned Cecil Causey
spoke up. "That reminds me, he
said, "of a funny thing that happened
to me when I first started to play
ball The team I was with stopped
at a hotel which had long, rambling
halls, with many puzzling turns in
them. A bell boy showed me up to
my room when we arrived, and a lit
tle while afterward I started down
stairs again. To save my life I could
not find the elevator, and I guess I
wandered around for an hour. Sud
denly I found myself back at my
room and I had to telephone for a
bell ljoy to come up and guide me
back to the lobby."
"That wins!" came in a chorus from
his auditors, as they rose and walked
out on him. s

RALPH
JOHN PESEK WILD
SHELTON FANS
Buffalo County Grappler
Upon Demolishment
Enters Ropes of
John Pesek -wild man.
That's what the Buffalo county mat
fans style their favorite grappler who
will meet Charlie Peters, the Papil
lion carpenter, in a finish wrestling
match at Rourke park July 4.
Pesek is described by those who
have seen him in action, as a rip-
snorting terrier in the ring. He is
a distinctively individual type of
wrestler.
On the street this farmer lad from
Shelton is a quiet, mild-mannered
lad. He is unexcitable and genial.
He is pleasant to talk to and seldom
becomes angry.
Tears Right In.
But when he enters the wrestling
ring he is a changed man.. Instant
ly, he becomes ( a gladiator intent
upon the demolishment of his op
ponent. He wastes no time. He
tears right in.. It is impossible for
Pesek to play a waiting game. It
is against his nature, he couldn't do
it if he tried. No sooner does he
enter, the ring than the mix-ups be
gin. '
aome wrestlers punish, others do
not. Pesek is of the punishing type.
It is rip, tear, plunge, lunge, the min
ute he gets in action. Pesek does
not try to wear an opponent down
or out-point him. He seeks to throw
him and as soon as possible. And
with this in view he begins to pun
ish. An hour of wrestling with Pe
sek, mat artists who have met him
say, is more punishing than a dozen
Fred Merkle Still Star
As Big Show First Sacker
(By International New Service.)
Fred Merkle, for many years a
popular idol at the Polo Grounds
when a member of the Giants, is one
of the Cubs' brightest stars. His
comeback is a reigning sensation and
he is a powerful drawing card. Mer
kle was born in Watertown, Wis., De
cember 20, 188SV He began his pro
fessional career with the Newark
(O.) club in 1906, but hecame a mem
ber of the Tecumseh club in the South
Michigan league before the end of
that season. The Giants bought his
release for $750 in 1907, and he played
under McGraw until the summer of
1916, when he was traded to Brooklyn
for Catcher McCarty. The Robins
sold him to the Cubs last year for
$2,500. Merkle is a six-footer and
weighs 190 pounds. He is leading
the National league in batting and is
playing first base as well as ever.

matches with other top-notchers of
the game. He hurts, that's what
Pesek does.
Never Been Thrown.
Pesek has never been thrown. He
has been wrestling two years now.
During this time he has taken part
in more than 40 encounters And
each one has resulted in a victory
for the Shelton lad. His shoulders
have never been touched to the mat.
Among others who failed to throw
Pesek is Earl Caddock. Neither did
Pesek throw Caddock. The match
was a one-hour handicap. Caddock
agreed to throw Pesek within that
hour. But the time was too short
for Caddock. He could not down the
Shelton wild-cat and, although real
ly a draw because there was no fall,
Pesek was the technical winner of
the match.
.Many Have Fallen.
Others whom Pesek has met were
sent flying. Jack Taylor, Jim Lon
dos, Yussif Hussane, Chris Sorenson,
Paul Mortensen, and others have
gone down before the ferocious
Pesek.
In Peters, Pesek July 4 will face
an opponent superior to any " he has
yet met Peters is fast and 'scienti
fic. He is cautious and quick to take
advantages offered. Pesek will be
forced to use all of his skill, all his
strength, all his punishing power to
defeat Peters. If he defeats Peters
he will earn a position under the
rays of the wrestling sun and be a
real contender for the championship.

Miller Huggins Has Seen
, Two Triple Plays in Life
(By International Newa Service.)
An idea of the rarity of the triple
play in base ball may be trained from
the experience of Miller Huggins. It
was about W years ago that Huggins
began his base ball career, and this is
his 15th season in the major leagues.
After the Yankees reeled off a triple
play a few, days ago in a game against
the White Sox Huggins remarked that
it was the second such play he had
seen since he put on his first base
ball uniform. The other occurred
when he was a member of the Cin
cinnati Reds find Huggins played a
hand in this performance. When it is
recalled that Huggins has been player
or manager in close to 2,500 major
games it becomes evident that fne
triple play is indeed a rarity.
Base' Bail in France is
Becoming Organized Sport
(By International Newi Service.)
Base trail in the American army in
France gradually is becoming organ
ized. Five leagues or sections have
been formed. The six teams of each
section will p'ay a short season, with
the winners of these sections meeting
later in the "year. Besides these 30
recognized league teams our soldiers
have a few hundreds of other teams,
more or less definitely organized. It
.is estimated that, al! told, nearly
5.000 American fighting men are play
ing the national game behind the
battle lines.
