When Galla-hadeon Galla-hadeon came home in front he paid the second longest odds in the history of the event. Bimelech, the favorite, fined fin-ed badly in the stretch, and just hung on to take place by a nose. The time tells us something some-thing else also; it tells us that "Big Bim" was away off on Derby day, because he has beat that lime in every womoui ne had before the race. Smith, his jockey, said the track was cup-py; cup-py; that doesn't alter the fact that he had his mount out in front in the last sixteenth and let him bear out so lhat Galla-hadeon Galla-hadeon could pass through the hole on Ihe rail to win. They both go to the post in the Preakness Saturday, and I still like Bimelech. Say, that Brooklyn ball club is sure going to town. And no small part in their success so far is being played by a Salt Lake Hoy, Herman Franks. This heavily heavi-ly built Salt Lake Italian has been wearing that ball out, and handling the pitchers in a manner man-ner that would give pride to a Mickey Cochrane. The Flatbush-ers Flatbush-ers have a good ball club, Probably Proba-bly the best infield in the National Nation-al league and an outfield that will do. I understand they may still come up with Medwick. If they do they will be in the thick of the fight all the way. They have two great pitchers Wayet and Luke (Hot Potato) Hamlin, but the rest of the staff is just so so. I don't think they will have enough in the middle of the diamond over a long haul. Say, what has happened to those Yanks? Boy, the left hand-ers hand-ers they have been seeing. You know until Joe DiMaggio got back in the line-up they had five left-handed hitters in the middle of their line-up. But that isn't all; they can't seem to get together. toge-ther. When they get good pitching pitch-ing they can't hit; and when they hit, their pitching has been off. Boston, Cleveland and Detroit have better teams this year and Connie Mack's building process has begun to tell. Lou Ambers puts his lightweight light-weight championship on the line Friday night in Madison Square Garden against Lew Jenkins of Sweetwater, Texas. Ambers has begun to get the recognition he deserves. He has been the most underestimated fighter that ever held the lightweight title. It's true he has lost some non-title fights, but when the chips are down it's a different story. Jenkins Jen-kins is a good boy, probably one of the hardest hitters among the little men, and he has put the last three fighters he fought a-way a-way in jig time. Ambers is having a little trouble making the weight, so don't be surprised if we have |
