GIANTS PLAY L KE CHAMPS AT HOME Three in Unwieldy Field Are Held Almost Equal Choices. By Vincent Treanor. BETTING, take It from The Jockey Club, Is a secondary consider ation In racing; m fact, tho august governor of trie sport don't lccdgolze tlio speculative feature. But to tb6 publlo it Is an all-hnportant factor In a day's enjoyment at the track, and with no ono In Official con trol 6f this angle of the thoroughbred industry, patrons of tho various asso ciations are at the mercy of tho lay- - uiuai wau wuaL IB nneren or forego the added test .which a ager undoubtedly gives to the sport. Tho last race of the day at Belmont Park yesterday furnished a striking illustration of tho unfairness prac tised, day In and day out at-tlie track by tho layers. In this event there wera seventeen starters, maidens, three-ycar-old3 and up. A to 1 choice In such a gathering was to be expected. No one starter stood out, hut this mattered not In the price makers. They made Aknutti. (he horse which is alnays expected to do thing Hnd hasn't done th:m yet, a 2 to 1 choice on general suspicion that he was going to rim a good race finally. If the field had been belt as small, the price couldn't have been shorter. Next to AknuttU came Ejieelstij.

Any price-Is a good price when you win, but even the Excelsla backeis were Justified in feeling that they hart been "gyped" Into 'taking 2 to 1 against him under tlie Conditions. Trainer Simon Hcaly won his first race with the Chcstcrbrook Farm colors up, when phestcrbrook nosed out Flying Cloud In the Mlneola Handicap. Those colors, black, pur pie sash and cap, aro the successors temporarily of the popular red, white and blue of the lato Capt. K. U. Cas satt. The horses ore now run under the ownership of Mrs. 13.

Tr avers Hopes to Start Winning Golt Comeback In New Jersey State Meet Former Najional Champion En ters Jersey Tourney Starting Thursday at Norwood Club. By William Abbott. Jeromo D. Travcrs, onco king of American amateur golfers, will com poto In' tho Jersey State champion ship starting Tuesday ot ho Norwood Club t Ivons Uranch. This tourna ment will bo In tho naturo Lf a come back for the formal national title holder. I." successful It may ko a long way toward restoring the lost prestige of tho New York district, which has steadily lost caste since 1913, when Travers won the National trophy for tho last time at Garden City. It Is nothing new for Travers to enter his name for the Jersey Stato title. Ho essayed a comeback last year at tho Canoe Urook Club at Sum mit, but falling strength proved too much of a handicap and tho voteran fell before the prowosa of Young Halo, a fellow ClUD merriDcr iium uhwi Montclalr. This year things aro different. Trov srs Is about ten pounds hoavler and his golf Is up to date, while not es pecially speotacular, has been steady and dependable. In this week's meet Travers will have fairly easy going unless some unknown suddenly rises up and pulls a miracle. Oswald Klrby and Will iam M. Itcekie, two of the best golf ers In the region across the Hudson, will not start In the Jersey fatato tournament, preferring to wait for tho Metropolitan Championship, which starts the following week at tho Lakewood Country Club. But Travers will not be without bothersome opposition. Eddie Wild and August Kammcr, both from Bnl tusrol, are now In great golf form and should be able to go far In the Nor wood tournament. The starting list numbers sixty-six, which Includes a number ot young stars like Hale of Upper Montclalr, who reached the 1821 final. Newton Mair of Shackamaxon, who won th title last year, turned pro fessional and consequently will not l)e qualified to defend the champion ship. Golf la one game In whloh aje does not materially influence the result. Moat ot the present English profes sional stars are middle-aged or even oldeM (There Is also tho example of WaJtci J. Trovts, th only American to cil iture tho English amateur chamri onslilp, who never began wleldllr K'f clubs until reaching his thirty- Ifth year. On ti Is basis Jerry Travers Is still a younW man, quite a umo way in side tH I forty-year mark. Travers got a vi ry early start on the links and of his long career It Is sup- becausd posed e is pretty close to the re tlremerl period. Travers was at his best frdh 1007 to IBil. In tliat.stieicb lie wnll supreme, ass&nvbltng the grcates record or any American omairu It is true, In 11109 rtajj Travers did not encounter tho nu merous opponents that no wswarm over the links, but ho ranged so high over his opposition, nevcrethclos that thore was no room for doubt And when Jerry's sun began to set It also marked tho tlmo when Now Yok'r ntreiigth In national tourna riionts' began to wane. Thla district haa not produced n national wlnnor since the last time Travcrs won In 1913.- White Sox Pay Highest Price Ever Given for Minor Leaguer Third Baseman Kamm of Frisco Club Costs White Sox $125,000. SAN FrtANCISCO, Cal., May 30. WHIle Kamm, third baseman of the Sun Francisco Club of tho I'uciflc Coast Leaguo, has been sold to the Chicago Club of tho American Leaguo for $100,000 and two players valued at tfes.ooo. This announcement was made by Goorgo A. Putnam, Secretary of the San Francisco Club. Kamm Is twenty-two years old and Is credited with being ono of the most brilliant lnflcldcrs In tho country. lie will play out the season with the Han Francisco c'hib. This Is tlio highest price ever paid for h minor league player. Heretofore Jumcs O'Conncll, also ot tho San Francisco Club, held that distinction. Ho was told to the New York Giants last winter for $75,000 for delivery in 1933. Tho price also Is the third highest in the history of baseball. BRONX CENTRAL BOWLERS SCORE TWO EASY WINS.
