Columbus Meeting

ton H.

The Exhibition races came td an end on Saturday. and racing in ilhis Province for 1923 has passed into history. There is no question but that the four days‘ pleating this year has proved wonderfully successful as regards the quality of the races. hilt the atcndancc was not nearly as large as expected. no doubt due to the fact the late liar- vust was keeping so many clnploy- ed that they had no time to attend. The weather on Saturday was ideal and the track fast. indeed. more favorable conditions could not lhave been desired. and as a consequence some breezy miles were trotted. particularly in the 2.22 Trot, which developed into an unexpected battle between Wiltcen Boy, Capt. Jackson and Kalola Todd, Wilteen Boy winning at thc end of five heats in what was prob- ably one of the best races of the meeting. The greatest excitement prevailed on the grand-stand nt the finish of every heat, all the finish- es in the five heats being extreme- ly close, and In three of tlheiu no one knew the winners until tho judges nlnde the announcement.

Jack Bentley, the $65,000 south- paw pitcher, who came from the Baltimore international League Club, probably will be picked to pitch one of the gables, and he is sure to net some wnrk as a pinch hitter, as he is ullc of the nlol-lt. dangerous batters iii the National League. When right he is also a very good pitcher.

Chance for Jackson.

Travis Jackson, the young short- stnp who leamv to the (iialits from the Liltlv ilock club oi’ the South- t'l'll Afihlhtiiillifill, will bu put 1.0 work if ili-iliii- (lruli, the vrturali third ilill-ibllliill, should not be able to iuild up durilit: tho series.

Elmer Smith, hero of the 1020 world's series when he was playing with the Cleveland Indians. will get the first call for outfield duty in an enlcrgency.

The Yanks have two young pitch- ers, Pipgraes und ltoettger, who may be called upon as pail-bearers if the Giants should get mean with any of the star Yank pitchers. "Mule" Watson. who came to} the Giants from Boston in a ml<l-, season deal, may also get a chance to do some pitching. McGraw is sore on him for breaking training rules, however, and he may not be used unless it is absolutely neces- sary. .
