Who'd have thought, for instance, that the starting gate would break down and that thcVe wouldn't be a substitute gate ready in an emergency? We've become so accustomed to seeing jslarts made from gates that when it became necessary to get the day's big race, the Bay Shore Handicap, started without even the benefit of a barrier, it didn't seem NOT SEGURA?

The revolving, old knuckle-ball specialist is learning the ups and downs of managerial life early. He left the Dodgers to replace Bucky Harris as skipper here five weeks ago tonight. First, the Phils won 12 out of 16 for him.

Since then they've won only four of their last 17. The current Philadelphia losing streak is six straight. Fitz was asked how he found himself reacting to the cores of managing a ball team. Fal Man Doesn't Worry "I'll do all right," said the stout, old party. "Nobody loves to in and hates to lose more than I do.

But so far I've managed to eat my meals and get my sleep, and that's what I intend to keep on doing. If the time comes when worry affects me as much as it has Mel Ott, for example, I don't think I'd care to continue." It Is rather obvious that the nervous, upset digestive illness that Ott brought on himself through worry over the plight of the Giants has made a deep impression on other such mechanical contrivance. It Happened in 1898 Believe it or not. the last time horses were started by nothing but a flag was back in '98. 45 years ago.

No doubt about it, the Bay Shore Handicap was not a race. It was a steal. And the veteran among the Jockeys, Johnny Lonsden, did the stealing by getting Wait a Bit not COPS FIRST AT AQUEDUCT Respire, Jockey Peters in the saddle, crosses the finish line to win the opening race in first day of racing at Aqueduct.

Belmont has two. So, I'm sure, has Jamaica. Whether Jamaica's extra gate is in perfect condition we can vouch for but there's one there parked over in the corner where a seven furlong race would start. If Jamaica ever went for races of that distance. The absence of a starting gate had strange repercussions.

The former Dodger fireball king has come up witli more than one good game that has passed almost unnoticed on a ball club that isn't going any place. But Saturday he shut out the Braves with two hits and that sort of a feat from a Giant hurler can't escape favorable mention. The boys went to poking into Mungo's immediate past.

"It Isn't worth It," concludes Fitz, When he is, you wouldn't bet on Segura, would you?" Before we could answer that one, Joe went off on another tack. "There are others in this field who can handle Segura," he said. "Take Frank Parker. Parker can beat Pancho every time they play, in my opinion. Beat him the last tournament here, didn't he? Four sets, wasn't it?" The answers to those were yes, yes, and again yes.

"Of course," Joe cut in, "Pancho's good.

In against the best horses, and loaded with 116 pounds, as good a load as the three-year-old has ever carried, Eurasian started poorly.

But when it came to the stretch run, Eurasian was the one horse that was picking up ground on Wait a Bit. We wonder if that mark of 1:22.8. three-fifths better than Doublrab and Parasang ran the distance, will be allowed to stand as a new record. It should not.

Svensen was here over the weekend and left Cawthon with the impression that he would be back soon to remain with the Dodgers. However, he wants to consider the situation further before coming to a decision.

"You have no idea," says Freddy, "how much defensive speed we lost when Murtaugh left. He was our only fast infielder. Dahlgren, Stewart, May and Hamrick, the four I'm playing now, are on the slow side taken as a group.

I can remember five games in the last two weeks that we lost because of this games I'm sure would have been victories if Murtaugh were still playing for us. "Errors and base hits that slip through that infield put a heavy handicap on our pitchers. We have better pitchers than these fellows seemed to be so far in this Brooklyn series. Schoolboy Rowe and Dick Barrett have done the best work. Al Gerhauser is a young pitcher after my own heart.

He's young and will keep improving for a long while and he has the right spirit. He doesn't wait for me to come to him. After he pitches he keeps working for a day or two, then comes to me and says he's ready whenever I can use him. Need Catcher Now Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke.

Only six days, and with doubles and mixed doubles and singles play running concurrently, some of the athletes figure to find it more than they can handle.

They will wilt. They are not used to that much tennis. They have not played that much this year with the possible exception of Segura. That is another argument in favor of Pancho. But, as Joe Hunt said, the draw, which was made this morning, is going to be tremendously important in a like this, with about 10 topnotch players sprinkled in a field of 32 that must be boiled down to one the champ in six days' play.

But there are other differences, too. Yesterday, I saw a plump dumpling of a girl batting the ball in practice on the sacred Forest Hills lawns with Dodo Bundy and she wore blue shorts! Now this may not mean so much to you, but at a late hour last night a dozen tennis fathers were still spinning in their graves. Anything but white on the sacred courts of Forest Hills is very de rigeur, Montmorency, not to mention bad taste. Especially for the ladies. What would Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman have said? What would the nobility in the marquee say? GOODBY TO GLAMOUR? Mary Jane So-and-So, practicing in her blue shorts, might have indicated, without knowing it I am sure, a change in the trend of things.

Perhaps, this is to be a de-glamorized championship. The girl who holds the crown, Pauline Betz, is blond end, in a measure, glamorous. I would say the more muscular Louise Brough, who pounds a ball in most unladylike fashion; or shy Doris Hart, a girl with every stroke perfect, but who has a bit of difficulty getting around the court because of a childhood accident; or colorless Margaret Osborne (particularly this last!) might steal the honors from the glamorous La Betz. In the men's section, perhaps, the colorful Pancho's number is up, as Hunt indicates. The little man from the mountain trails of Ecuador, whose legs seem designed to fit a burro, and who talks in quaint English, may have to move over and let Jake Kramer, a big, raw-boned blond, move in.

Jake hasn't much color. Parker has less. But they're all in the service Kramer, and Parker, and Schroeder, and Bitsy Grant, and Hunt and those are the colors that appeal to me shape and with George Cafego, another veteran back, gives the "Over the weekend the Dodgers knocked all three of these boys out out to the last lick.
