Hughson, who has won 14 games against only three losses this season, was a ball of fire in the minors. In his first real trial with the Red Sox July of 1941 he looked even better. Hughaon gave, up 10 hits as he shaded the Yankees, 3-2, in 11 innings yesterday, blanking the New Yorkers in nine of the 11 innings. The Sox scored the winning run when Red Rolfe booted.

Y.rAug. 12 UIR Fred Egan, driver of Colby Hanover Han-over favorite in today's Hamble-tonian Hamble-tonian trotting classic Is a tallish, elderly Irishman of great personal charm. But that's the only "charm" he carries. There hasn't been a good luck piece on Egan's person since the $40,000 stumble in 1933. We learned of this in somewhat embarrassing fashion. While sauntering about the low green stables here at the Good Time track one of our friends among the drivers a very witty fellow tipped us on "a good story." He informed us that Fred Egan had picked up a new Chinese Chin-ese luck piece and that he would wear it inside his driving cap during the Hambletonian. "Go and ask Fred about it," he urged. 'TTou'll find jit mighty interesting." in-teresting." Our friend didn't lie. In fact, Fred Esran almost fell off the rail when we asked him about the Chinese charm. He had been sitting sit-ting there watching other drivers send their lathered "side wheelers' wheel-ers' around the turn. Recovering his balance, Mr Egan glared at us through his spectacles and demanded, "What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to be funny at my expense?" ex-pense?" Then, noting our amazed innocence, he added, "or is somebody some-body trying to work a gag on you?" We said it must be the latter. Then Egan. grinned and opined that whoever sent us should get a good punch in the nose because he obviously knew Egan never j carried any good luck pieces and never even talked about them to anyone, . particularly just before the Hambletonian. Egan is a grizzled chap of 62, with a curly gray thatch. As a result of being outdoors ever since he was a kid, his skin is leathered. You can hardly see the pupils of his eyes behind the spectacles he wears. "I never talk about charms," Egan explained, "because of what happened to me in one of these Hambletonians. It was back in 1933. I was driving Brown Berry, which was a short odds-on favorite favor-ite along with Mary Reynolds. "Well, a couple days before the race, I got a letter from some crank in Philadelphia. The letter enclosed a charm a good luck medal on a piece of silk string. The writer told me that once each year he picked out some one man in the United States whom he wanted to see win something some-thing and whom he endowed with the charm. "The writer said it never failed. fail-ed. I was kind of superstitious in those days. Thus, I was afraid to throw it away and afraid to put it on for the race. The instructions in-structions said to wear' the medal right under my liver, passing the cord around my body. Well, I put it on and wore it in the race. "I won the second heat of .the Hambletonian with Brown Berry and was leading in the third heat just as we were approaching the finish. Suddenly, Brown Berry stumbled and broke, and Mary Reynolds won the heat and race. Newspapermen called it the' $40.-000 $40.-000 stumble. When I got back to the stable, I took off that charm and threw it as far as I could.

Several times he won one heat only to lose out through bad racing rac-ing luck in the other heats. LYi 1940 his luck took a turn for the better, and ho won his first Hambletonian with Sp'encer Scott.
