July 25— (/P) —Two daughters of War Admiral—and they're granddaughters of the great Man O’ War—are expected to battle it out down the stretch today in the $25,000 added Cleopatra handicap at Washington Park. They are Busher, three-year-old filly w'hich has won $86,895 for movie magnate Louis B Mayer, and the Maine Chance farm's War Date. The two will have plenty of com petition in the 11-filly field nom inated for the event, however. Busher, queen of last year's two year-old fillies was held at 7r5 odds today, and probably will be backed down to a less-than-even figure before the race War Date i w'as quoted at 8-5, while the rest of the field ranged from 8-1 to 25 1. with few' takers willing to give, the nine other entrants a chance against War Admiral's daughters. PAST RECORDS The two fillies' top favoritism; spots come from their records in the past few months, in which Busher won the $50,000 Sana Mar- t garita handicap and the $25.000' Santa Suzana at Santa Anita. She finished second behind her stable-; male. nymeaoonu, ay rmu a leiigtn 1 in the $50,000 Santa Anita derby. ' War Date's victories include the i $15,000 Princess Doreen this sum- [ $20,000 Modesty handicap and the mer here. The two may find their, toughest j competition from Calumet farm’s Twosy, trained by Ben Jones andj held at 8-1 odds Twosy, a stretch-! runner, was beaten by a head last | week by Fighting Don, but she came from three lengths back and at the pace, she was going probably would have overhauled the colt in a few more strides.

Apply HIGHWAY OFFICE Masonic Building i 4 Teams Play Third Tilt Here Tonight In a loosely played game in which the Shelby fielders gave Hurler Boots Kent little cooperation, the Shelby Am-ji erican Legion juniors lost an 11 to 2 slugging match last:’ night at Griffith park in Charlotte when the Queen City |1 lads evened up the three-out-of-five series for the district I ] title. xne cnariotte juniors literally ran off wjth the game and after a big fifth inning in which they chalked up six runs the Shelby boys felt trampled and were un able to rally, although they outhlt Charlotte by 12 to 10, including two double baggers. Tonight at 8 o'clock the two teams move back to the Shelby ball park where the locals opened with a 5 to 0 win Monday night. The game will likely be the crucial battle and, if the Shelby boys are able to win, they have a better than even chance to cop the series and advance to the state fi nals. Pitcher Harry McKee, who has thus far proved too much for the Charlotte lads to handle, will more than likely work again tonight and fans here are counting on him to come through. All the players are in condition and the regular start ers will open the tilt. Shelby’s first score last night came in the fourth which Hutchins opened with a single, followed by Bridges who hit, and after Web ber fanned, Paige grounded, lef ting Hutchins in safely. Although three got on in the sixth, the lo cals muffed their chance to score and their only other run came in > the seventh. FINAL RUN With one away, Bowrn got a double, advanced on Cheek's hit and scored when Bridges connect- 1 ed after Hutchins had forced Cheek at second. Webber hit to load the bases, but Paige ground ed to retire the side. In the eighth Megginson walked and Washburn doubled, putting two men in scor ing position, but the boys were unable to take advantage as Cooke fanned, Cheek and Hutchins filed to end their time at bat. The Charlotte lads opened with three runs in the first on a walk, a sacrifice, two singles and an er ror by Megginson. Another was scored in the second when James was hit by pitcher, Hunter took base on fielder’s choice which tag ged James, Martin walked and Helms hit across shortstop terri tory, Allan Washburn missed the ball and Hunter tagged up. The Queen City lads scored again in the fourth when Hunter was safe on Washburn’s error, Bo lick sacrified and Martin connect ed for a two-bagger. The big fiftn finished off the Shelby lads with six runs crossing for Charlotte. Fowler walked, Deese beat out an infield hit, Webb was hit by Kent to load the bases and Bennet got a safety peat Washburn to score Fowler and Deese. Cooke replaced Kent M the mound and James prompt ly singled to knock In Webb. Hunter fanned and Bolick grounded as Bennett crossed. Martin walked and Helms lifted a triple into right-center to bring in James and Martin be fore Fowler grounded to end the onslaught. Shelby's Bridges paced the bit ing with four for five while Vashburn and Webber got two or four each. For Charlotte Mar in got two for two and Deese got wo for four times up.
