NEW YORK, May l-—Down the sports trail:

Seventh Dugout: James Joseph Dykes. pilot of the luckless Chicago White Box and number one orator of baseball, has been kicked around plenty this season but he won't change his mind about the Amer- ican League race.

"Before the season opened," said! Jimmy as he pulled on one of his white stockings preparatory to do- ing battle today with the high-fly- "1 picked Detroit, Cleveland, New York and Boston to finish in that order. I've seen ’em all in action now but haven‘t seen anything to change my mind."

roursome: Three of go1f's most famous stars and one of golf's greatest writers-—Bobby Jones, Hor- ton smith, Lawson Little and Cirantland Rloe—started out for a game of golf today at Baltusrol. N. J., scene of the 1936 United States open.

“We three." said Bobby, “are go- ing to play Horton. It's our best ball against his score and I wouldn't bet a dime on it either. He's too hot."

The ex-Joplin ghost, who leads in golf winnings this year with more than 87,000. said he won 815.000 in 1929-30. He also revealed that he had withdrawn his entry in the British open.

"No. rin not discouraged with my showing at Augusta." said Bobby. "I could get into good playing con- dition if I really wanted to. You know I never was any good in win- ter golf."

(A. P. by Guardian’: Special Wire) NEW YORK. May l—Boston Bees opened their western in- vaslon today at Pittsburgh by beating Buccaneers 6-4, aided by t ~ long home runs by Gene Moore and seven innings of fine hurling by Wayne Osborne. Moore's first homer came in the third off Bill Swlth's pitching and he drove the ball over the left field wall in the seventh.

Tint Start A Winning One Lee Grlssom, lefthander making his first start for the Reds, pitch- ed Cincinnati playing at home to a 4-3 victory over Philadelphia with the aid of some timely hit- ting.

Grissom‘s performance of grant- ing seven hits was matched by J'‘’ Bowman of the Phillies who was the victim of two costly bobbles in the .ighth that set the stage for Tommy Thevenow, utility in- fielder, to score Grlssom and Klki Cuyler with a double.

“Gag House" Gang Best Dodgers With Dizzy Dean pitching three- hit bail, St. Louis Cardinals went wild at St. Louis to beat Brooklyn Dodgers, 12-0 and take second place in the league.

Dizzy let the Brooklyns have a hit in the first and then set them down in order until the sixth when he loosened up and let them have another. Meantime. the Cards were piling up a five run lead through the sixth. In the seventh. however, i<‘rlsch’s team started

Dans great. bid to fame was while 111 the owiiersrup of M. W. Savage 01 MillllCap0il.5, Miiincsota. The legend is l.l‘ic':lL Savage was born on i‘i'lllC6 bx.i\\'a1ri Island and left here ivncii very young w1Ll1 his parems for UIILB-1'10, where he grew to man- liood, Lllell Look employment in the Uiuted. States.

By a lucky chance he acquired for a small sum the ownership of 111- ternatioiial stock Food and its pro- ducts, which was then an almost unknown brand of goods. People thought, that Savage was just an- other sucker upon whom something in the way of a dead enterprise had been unloaded; but Savage was a man of unquestioned ability and years in advance of his time as an advertiser. In two years newspapers circulated among stockmen and harness horse men were carrying advertisements bearing the slogan "Three Feeds for one Cent." Be- hind this quiiitetie of words he built up a publicity marvelously adapted to hit the patrons that he aimed at.

The business grew by leaps and bounds. Immense factories capable of handling thousands of tons of the ingredients he used, and machines for grinding them and mixing them into his stock foods, were built. Not only were they sold in the United States and Canada, but they made their way and won high favor in many foreign lands. savage became a millionaire and this gave him an opportunity to indulge his love for good harness horses.

“His first venture into ownership was the purchase of Dlrectum. This was followed by a deal with M. E. Sturgis of New York City, closed on the 8th of December, 1902, by which he became the sole owner of Dan Patch for $60000. Naturally the sale created a. sensation. Dan Patch had been the marvel of the harness turf during the seasons of 1901 and 1902 and it was from page news. Mr. Savage bought him for two res.- sons. one because he was collecting champions, the other that here was the opportunity to gain an advertis- ing asset of immense value. From that time until his final retirement six years later Dan Patch was ex- clusively an exhibition horse.

There had previously been some celebrated ones in American turf history. but all of them paied into insignlficance in comparison with him. one reason for this was his unrivalled efiectiveness in the role- nothing approaching it was ever seen or heard of since in the way of a harness performer—and another was the effectiveness with which Mr. Savage capitalized it and made it pay dividends.

During his exhibition career Dan Patch traversed the United states north. south, east and west, so of- ten and so exhaustively that when his joumeyings ended owing to a complete breakdown. almost every man, woman and child in the Uni- ted States and Canada had either enjoyed the opportunity of seeing him or wns familiar with his pic- ture, his performances and his hi!‘ tory. His name became i\ "house- hold word" in an extent and to A degree that no other horse's ever has in Ami-,rlca—everi Man 0' W8” great reputation to-day i5 5 "“‘” thing in comparison.

The way in which Mr. savage ef- fected this result was something as follows: In makinfl iii‘ °“3“i‘°m°“i‘ for Dan he seldom did so with MW fair or racing association for any list or stated sum. His contract was almost always for a percentage of the gate receipts. with this pre-
