VK EEL AND (Staft Correspondent the Eagle) Saratoga, Aug. 12 Gallant Fox Is not the only member of the Belair stud string of thoroughbreds that can win races. Peto, a stablemate of the three-year-old champion, annexed the Catskill Claiming Stakes at the track here yesterday in a driving finish from Buddy Bauer, with Coin Collector third and Imperial Air fourth. The race was worth $4,025 net. It was the 28th running of this important claiming stake.

It dates back to 1901, when T. J. Healey's Carbuncle, a sturdy, reliable horse of his day, won the inaugural dash.

Gallant Fox has gained such a world-wide reputation by his string of victories that Gov ernor Roosevelt will accept the invitation of President George H.

But I am not going to defend my national title this year." Mrs. Moody returned recently from Wimbledon, where she captured the singles title.

The entry list for the National women's event closed today. In past years Mrs. Moody always filed her entry well in advance of the closing date. The decision of Helen Wills Moody not to defend her champlon- BMWWWIIIII .1 ItUMIllUSW Helen Wills Moody ship this year marks the abdication of a queen who has ruled the courts since 1923. The only previous break in the series of triumphs which began when she took the national championship from the former Molla Bjurstcdt was in 1926, the year she was kept out ot competitive play by an operation lor appendicitis.

Her career as a tennis champion began when she was 15 years old, with the winning of the girls' na tional tournament. She repeated the next year, then moved up to fight her way to the top of the seniors. In 1923 she was runner-up for the ryry A II jMsawaia. a headed since in any tournament m' which she competed. Has Triumphed in Europe Her European campaigns have been as successful as her play in this country.

She won both British and French" singles cham pionships this year. She also won the British doubles championship at Wimbledon this season with Miss Elizabeth Ryan. Mrs. Moody was a member ot the victorious American team in -the Wightman Cup matches in ISM, Her only defeat in singles play In the international matches was at the hands of Mrs. L.

Carbuncle was, it's doubtful if he was any better than Peto is at sprinting. This three-year-old son of Peter Fan-Eulogy was entered to be sold for $8,000.

And because of his hlfh value he carried top weight, 116 pounds. This forced him not only to concede actual weight to all of his opponents, but by the scale. Under the circumstances, his victory was a good one. It was due in part to a 50-50 process on the part of "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, his trainer, and Abel, his jockey. Abel rode one of the best judged races that he has ever put up.

He held his mount in third position while Black Watch and Angry were booming along in front head and head. Brice, who rode Black Watch, scarcely gave that gelding a chance. He started to whip him on the turn for home when he was well in the lead. By this action he whipped Black Watch out of the money. By the time Black Watch was straightened out for home he was sick of the stinging switch.

He quit cold. Abel then cut loose with Peta and. checking a determined bid by Buddy Bauer through the rtretch. beat him out by the margin of sadle girths. Imperial Air probably ran his last race.

He pulled up so lame that Hebert was forced to dismount from him in ordr to cpt him back to the scales. HERMITAGE MUCH THE BEST IN CHASE The usual bunch of hot tips wore forthcoming on the chances of the horses named In the first race, a six-furlong dash, for maiden three-year-olds and upward. Dunroclt, Brown Trap, Objibwa, High Step and Scr.tter were heavily baekres. Memories Dear was at the false odds of 10 to 1. After Memories Dear had acted as guide to the homestretch, Workman, who rode a particularly patient race, for him, on Erown Trap, cut loose and made his bid.

As he did so, High Step, which had been in a lot of early trouble, moved up fast on the outside. The son of High Time had his tongue hanging out. It he had ever stumbled he would have cut it in half. He kept lugging in toward the rail, and McAtee had his hands full trying to keep him from banp-lng into his opponents. High Step was rapidly overhauling Brown Trap, but he Just failed to get up.

Hiih Step was second. Had the latter wen, the turf scribes, in all truth, could have written that he won by a tongue. Memories Dear was third. Walter J. Salmon's Hermitage was an odds-on favorite for the steeplechase and rightly so.

He won easily. That he won was due to himself. Jockey Albright, who rode him, did his usual choking act, and the gelding twice was nearly thrown because he was unable to get his legs well under him and leap properly. The son of Friar Rock will not go tar with that sort of handling. Van Dike was the pacemaker for a mile and six furlongs and then finishing second.

Rollicking Princess, the second choice, fell during the first turn of the field and was put out of commission. There were several mishaps, but San. Francisco From an ob scure preliminary boy, Young Corbett of Fresno has punched his way to the title of "uncrowned welter weight champion of the world." The 24-year-old Italian has cli maxed a brilliant career by hand ing Young Jack Thompson, Oakland Negro welterweight king, a fearful beating in ten rounds. Thompson saved his crown by the technicality of forcing Corbett to come in a pound and a half over weight. Less than five months before, also in a San Francisco ring, Corbett won a 10-round decision over Jackie Fields, then ruler of the 147-pound weight match.

The Fresno southpaw's record is one of the most remarkable of the boxing game. He started at the age of 17 years and in 103 bouts, scored 4J knockouts. Since 1925 he lost two decisions to Domuiick McCarthy and Play Miniature Eagle's Championship i ourney and Irons, but Captures L. I. Title Special to the Eagle Hempstead.

L. Aug. 13 Long Island's caddies have the idea that clubs aid materially in assisting; one to become a golfer. A great theory, but rather tough on the caddies who must carry the van loads of irons and woods which the aspiring youngsters drag to the caddy cham pionship. And as a matter of fact one believes the young men who played yesterday in the Long Island championship here must be brain fagged.

Certainly the weight of having to decide which of 30 Irons will serve best for a certain shot must be tiring. Jack Mullens, the new champion who won with 154 for at mighty tough golf course, was heavily laden with clubs. But Larry Subject, who seems widely known as Joe Dobbins' caddy, worried himself with no less than five woods, while Sammy Suppa from Lenox Hills must have hunted far and wide for that great outfit of iron clubs he toted. Those were the leaders in the field of 100, Subject having been second and Suppa third. That was a nice round Frank Walczk finished with, a 72 for a course on which the record, held Jointly by Bill Klein and Eddie Lucas, Is 69.

Young Herman Rama- didn't do as well in the caddy masters' championship as was expected. Rama finished second, winning that posi tion in a playoff with Dick Brennan of the home club. Herman, who led the field in the Long Island open in the first round with the first 69 which had been scored on that course in competition, was one shot behind Jack O'Brien of Queensboro.

Aug. 12 In the feature bout at the Freeport Arena last night Babe Herman, Freeport, who recently returned from a Ep- ropean tour, stopped Wesley Dawson of Brooklyn in 14 seconds of the third round with a right smash to the jaw that would have staggered bigger men. The semi-final between Lou Prinavera.

Freeport, and Murray Brandt of Williamsburg went the full six rounds to be called a draw, much to the disappointment of the fans, who thought it should have gone to the Freeport boy. Walter Salmon of Hempstead and Wilbur Johnson of New York fought the first six-rounder, which Salmon ended with a knockout In 2:31 of the second round. Ed Foster and Mule Brown fought a hard six-rounder that had the crowd on Its feet a lot of the time. This is the second meeting of the colored boys and both the decisions have gone to Ed for earned fights. Pete Delgals of Inwood, L.

was knocked out in the third round of the four-round opener with a right hook to the chin administered by the clever little fellow, Joey Con stantino of Rockvllle Centre.

DF. MAR'S GREAT RECORD In the 37 marathon rares Clarence De Mar remembers having entered, the Keene. N. school teacher raced to 17 fptortes.

Jackie Schweitzer took a six-round decision from Willie Patterson of Jamaica last night, but didn't know what it was all about for a long time after the closing gong, had sounded and the disappointed fans had filed out of Henderson's Bowl at Coney Island. It seemed to the crowd that it was Willie Patterson's fight all the way end they indicated their sentiments with a verbal disapproval of the decision. From the first round Patterson was on the aggressive, giving Schweitzer plenty of punishment. His pounding blows to the East Side lad's head and body brought the New Yorker down quickly so that by the second round the situation was well in the hands of Patterson. SCHWEITZER DOES SOMETHING Only two or three times throughout the scrap did Schweitzer open up on Patterson, and then his barrage of punching was short lived.

Nevertheless, it took its toll from Patterson, though never giving him any apparent difficulty. In the fourth things looked bright for the East Slder when he tore into Patterson with a set of driving blows, forcing his opponent back against the ropes. Again in the following round Schweitzer shone with another of his invasions, but Patterson never let up for a moment and soon gained a strong foothold again. By the last second of the sixth Patterson looked like a sure winner, having Jackie in a perceptible daze. Despite the fact that the customers were rooting for Patterson the judges gave the decision to Schweitzer.

In another six-rounder Charley Raymond took a decision from Steve Vasquez. 1 Nick Salvatore won a tough battle from Izzy Cohen, and Augie Parente defeated Joe Grant, the comical colored boy, in tu' other sixes. Billy Tosk scored a knockout over Arthur McCarthy in the second round of a scheduled six. In the opening fours Jack Adler kayoed Jack Thomforde In the first, and Tommy Bianci, the Flatbush schoolboy, floored Larry Hogan in the second.

Good Finish Means Good Golf Suing By SOL METZGER Talk with any pro and he will you that if you have a good finish when driving a golf ball you have a good swing, one that is in the groove. Phil Perkins has such a finish.

Note how his weight Is braced by his left leg, now his body has followed through and how his forearms are almost parallel, the elbows close together as he faces the direction he has sent the ball. When you finish in that manner you need little tinkering with your game. Practice alone will improve it. But do you finish that way That's the test you can yourself make of your game. If not, see your pro and get busy Ironing out your troubles.

After his last victory over Thompson his handlers put up $60,000 as a guarantee to the Negro if he would defend his title. For a top-notcher, Corbett's purses have been drlbblings compared to those of his contemporaries. For defeating the two champions, Fields and Thompson, he received $10,000 and $8,000 respectively.

Manager Sam Agnew will do most ot the catching. none of the jockeys or horses was seriously hurt. MATE WINS ROMPING STYLE A.

C. Bostwick, the millionaire amateur rider, had the pleasure of seeing his two-year-old colt, Mate, romp off with the third race, a six-furlong spin. Mate was always the favorite. He was backed from 1 to 5 down to 9 to 10. After a physical spasm, called a start, the juveniles were sent away in straggling order with Knowlton left at the post.

Knowlton, which had been cutting up, was led back to his field and then, presto! the barrier was released while he was standing still Mate led all the way under a pull. The folly of entrusting horses to inexperienced apprentice boys was made plain in the fifth race. Recede had McCoy up. As Jockeys go, McCoy is no shining light But as compared with Chirch, the little apprentice who rode Recede the last time, McCoy shone like a beacon light on a rockbound coast. In the hands of McCoy the daughter of Sir Martin took the lead and romped.

Just romped, all the way and won eased up. In her previous start with Chirch in the saddle, she was far back during the early stages and was lucky to gasp home in third place. Recede was heavily backed. Woolorac was second and Wu, the champion "place" horse, was again third. The first race was scarcely over and Trainer W.

H. Karrick had Just noticed his colt Objibwa finish close up after all kinds of trouble, when he was handed a telegram. It contained the sad news that his son, Kenneth, had died that morn ing.

And so little Douglas Edgar's cherished record goes by the board, under the scoring frenzy of this frenetic era. He told me some funny things about his training for that famous tourney in 1919; how, getting up into Canada after a long dry spell in Atlanta, he went to a hlRhly enjoyable party, remained In bed the next dav until noon, snd then went out to the course and hit six shots with a JlRger.

British Open Golf Play Iieuan 70 Years A20 It was ancient championship that Bobby Jones went after In Oreat Britain last spring. The first British open was played In 1850 and was won by Willie Park Sr. of Mus-sel-burwh, Scotland.

The open tournament wss held for the first down er of its existence at Pre' wick, Scotland. Calls Late Douglas Edgar Best of All Pro Golfers Maybe you haven't been putt-ering around among the hollowed tree trunks, glorified rainspouts or dish-pan water hazards for nothing.

That's why officials of the Eagle's mammoth miniature golf championship tournament are prepared for anything even the cards showing scores of less than 18 strokes tor the regulation layout. It'll be a huge tournament, this one, with 60 courses entered. Play on each of these authorized Eagle courses will start Monday, with a view to selecting a club champion.
