Some of the greatest racehorses of the ii. A. have captured it, suchas Jean BureauU, Tanya, First Water, Colin. Kir Martin, and Sweep. In all likollhood War Feathers, -which brought the record price fur a yearling In thlH country, will be reserved for the National Utallion Htakes.

When a pitcher can hold the Pirates to three scattered hits and still Jose an unenviable feat accomplished by Prince Bob on Saturday-that's a tipuff that tbere's-tomei hing rotten regarding the fitate of Brooklyn hitting. Iaz7y Wins1 Debate Decision Over Kobhie.

DAZZ5T VANCK. our devastating dinger of fast balls when right seems to have come up with a Blight edge in a debate with Wllbert Robiuvtn, our manager, who at this early day and date is already beiUjg h.uled us a "miracle man" throughout the Middle West. As early us Friday, Robbie announced that Vance would pitch yesterday's scheduled game at lCbhets I'ield. To which Vance replied, "No. no, a thousand times, no," or words lo tiiat effect.

Vance would have riiyoniplished something supernatural had he pitched yesterday's game, inasmuch as there was no game. But even if there had been, Dar.zy would still have been a wonder had he worked. For on Saturday night, Vance was left behind In Plttshurg and Doug McWeeny was brought to Brooklyn, ostensibly to he used as the stnrtlhg pitcher. Kems a IMfTerviMv of Opinion. THKIUi are some who may see evidences of friction between our manager and the possessor of the highest salaried arm In baseball.

From sundry impromptu remarks, we have gathered that in Hobble's opinion Dazzy needs nothing more than a lot of work to get htm back )n shape. Vance's attitude is that he should favor an arm that still bothers him slightly, and not work until absolutely ready and sure of himself. Dnzzy thinks that the present pain In his bread-winning Hipper could have been avoided, lie declares that lie was started too soon after a corking crop of bolls put him on the shelf at the mart of the reason and. for that reason, pulled, strained or otherwise Injured a muscle In hie shoulder, which had waxed aome-whsit rusty from tit also declares rather emphatl-callathat he doesn't intend to start a game until lie diteHU't feel the slightest untoward twinge when he throws the tin II. It's easily apparent that there's a difference of opinion between Rob-Tile and Vance of Dar.zv's ability to work.

Cut shoe Jia.zy has never shown the fainlest siirtis of developing prima donna temperament, it an be nothing serious. 'TWAS Vdiie OCL 7 THK burning question in Golfburg today is "Can Hobby Jones duplicate Walter Travis' stunt?" Way back In 1904, Walter Travis representing the U. 8. A. walked off with the lirltish amateur crown.

Twenty-two long years have come and gone with nary a son nf I'licle Sammy being able to repeat, which III fry Cohen Is Said to be Better Shortstop Than Joe Se vern of Indians. When Andy Cohen, shortstop of the Waco club of the Texas League, upon whom the New York Giants have exercised their option in an endeavor to offset the incapacitation of Travis Jwkson, joins the club in Cincinnati today. Manager John J. may find himself vfith the million-dollar Yiddish athlete for whom he has had scouts trailing the ivory fields from Portland to Palestine. Andy is a product of the University of Alabama, which has given Joe Sewell, of the Clevelati Indians, and a number of other high-class players to the major leagues.

MoOraw spoke so enthusiastically about Cohen when ho lirst got an option on his services for $20,0110 cash last fall for delivery before the present season expires, that naturally Cohen tlnds himself famous overnight. Down Texas way. they say he Is Broadway caliber and to prove to thet fans that they are right in their estimate of him, Cohen gave a wimple of his wares to the Sr. Louis Cardinals during the spring training trip, when Ilornsby's team played against him. Big Day for Cohen.

The box score-proves that Cohen was the star of the game, notwithstanding that Rogers llornshy, Jim Uottomly and other Card luminaries were playing. It was a big day for Cohen. He flashed everything lie had, to the delight of the fans and the surprise of ilornsby'a crew. The first time Cohen faced Jess Haines, he went out'oti strikes, and that put hiltl down as a innTi not to be feared. That was where he caught Haines napping, for the next time the diminutive player belted a neck ball over the high screen in left field, a home run in any man's ball yard.

Next time Cohen strolled to the plate, Haines was more careful, yet the little shortstop crashed a solid single, and his third hit, two innings later, was a smashing double to right field. Besides his three hits for a total of seven bases. Cohen stole a base on Warwick, the Card catcher. In addition, he handled himself like a true major leaguer afield, Hornsby was so Impressed with the youngster's all-around ability that he started to dicker for Andy's purchase. However, he was politely Informed by Del Pratt, the Waco field pilot, that Andy was alreudy latged for shipment whenever Manager John J.

sent Del word. The time has arrived, and Manager McOraw may have the Kosher fixture lie has been craving for for sonic time. In order to get Cohen away from Waco, the Giants had to transfer Shortstop Novaka, one of their farm hands Norfolk of the Virginia. League, to Del Pratt to plug the wide open breach caused by Alidy's MtS.raw Malo 10-Strike. A Ht.

Louts reporter, who 4iad never heard of Cohen before he came across him on the Hpring training trip, expressed himself ot the belief that Manager McOra.T had made a 10-strlke In grubbing the youngster. "With the kind of clubbing lie Andy Colicil, ethlhitetl and ncninwt other major Uagu clubs that Invaded Wiico while underRoinff their Hprinc Mprouts, the JewiHh boy should no Krt'jit in New York, ns it is rumored tlif-roire quite a few residents In that KtTtt who will R( out und root tor the little player."

Rut if the Robins can I'ohius Now (bailie And Hair Behind. WI'l see by the papers that the Cincinnati Reds threw Friend (Hants for another loss and cemented their hold on first place.

With only a little cooperation, the Robins would now be winging uioug oul in uuih margin. The Chicago Cubs threatened the Brooklyn hokl on first place last by, socking the (Hants three times In four games. The Robins succeeded ill beating bvjk the Cubs, but thoir inability to beat the Pirates, while the Reds have been enjoying a series of Human holidays, knocked them down. This P.ed outfit has won six straight and three straight from the Wants. Looks as though it will be up to the Robins to personally knock them off In a four-game series, beginning "Wednesday.

fTiili Figures (ilve Reds Host of lU SEMI-OFFICIAL, figures show that the Reds have been playing a better brand of ull-around baseball than the Robins. Pitching strength is the big reason why Brooklyn is up there, but don't let any one tell you that those Cincinnati pitchers cannot pitch. The last records released show-that the Robins stand in seventh place in Nationul League club batting with an average of The same records show the Reds in second place with team average, of .23. That's a margain of 81 percentage points In favor of Cincinnati. Cincinnati leads the league in club fielding with an average of .974.

Brooklyn Is in fourth place with .4. Nothing to worry about here. The Reds Hi-em lo be hitting over their heads, if anything, while the Robins are hitting decidedly under their true form. If It comes to a showdown between the two rlubs, pitch-lug will pick up the marbles. The low output of the lirooklyn run production has cost a lot of ball panics so far.
