DERBY FIELD IS REDUCED Louisville. Ky.. .May 14.-4U.Rb Prospects of a slow track reduced [the field i<,r the Kentucky derby to eleven candidates today. Additional rain yesterday almost {definitely eliminated Hoys Howdy, ! 11. ('. Hatch's three-year-old, from the list of probable starters. Boys Howdy has been unable to go through a good workout because of the muddy condition of Churchill Downs and unless the track dries up considerably today. Hatch will withdraw his eligible. Even if no more rain falls, it is doubtful if the racing strip will be completely dried out by Saturday. Should the track continue muddy. Equipoise probably will gain much support. Equipoise is a noted mudder while Pittsburgh er. Sweep All and Spanish Play, the three leading entrants from the west also are at their best in heavy going. Final pre-derby races were scheduled for today. Few of the candidates were allowed to work out yesterday, although Equipoise and Ladder were sent through short speed sharpeners. According to general opinion. Mate, winner of the Preakness, will go to the barrier a favorite to capture the annual Kentucky classic. Twenty Grand probably will rule second choice with the remainder of tlie field well split up.

.he would not have to build addition!al garaging space at the track. He I was extremely anxious to win. It ' meant more than a hat to him. Hut when the final entry list was I compiled there were 72 nominations | tor starters in the 500-mile run. It is the largest entry list in the hisI lory of tlie speedway. Myers lost I tli<> hat and now has constructed additional garage space to accomI modate the large field. Fifty three <aia composed the I largest group of nominations for a i previous 500-mile event.

The barn built contraptions cost mu; h less and their owners have more sheer fun ia competing than the drivers of the high priced liehind obscure barn doors that many of tlie truly important engin•ering refinements in racing and later passenger cars haw coni' 1 . Unquestionably it cost more than $20,000 to send the car that Billy Arnold drove to victory at Indianapolis last year to the starting mark, tt was worth it, of course. He collected nearly SIOO,OOO not to mention the American championship with it during tlie course of the short racing year. But Russell Snowberger. who built his own car from a stock automobile at a cost of $1,400, finished eighth and won $1,600. He won many other purses during the ourse of the year. The fun lie had, however, from sheer joy of competition could net be figured in the coin jf the realm. o Would Reduce Expenses Carmel, Ind., May 14. — fU.R) — A citizens' ticket composed of candidates for four trusteeships, clerk and treasurer of Carmel, is pledged above all else, to reduce salaries of those posts from S6O to sl2 per annum.

The "Fish committee” recommends more open and direct hostilities against communistic propagandists than that hitherto favored by the Legion. Recommendations of tlie executive committee will be presented to the American Legion in its national convention in Detroit. Specifically, the American commission recommends that federal activity be increased against sedii tious conspiracy and use of the i mails to spread seditious and sub- | versiye propaganda. i Deportation of undesirable aliens, lis another of the department of [justice activities which the comI mission believes should be stimui lated. i Dan Spurlock, Shreveport, La., | chairman of the Americanism com- ; mission, issued a lengthy statement ion copiniunist activities, in which he pointed out that “they are seeking to implant in our youth disrespect for our home, for our government and for our religion.” "It is hadly conceivable,” lie concludes, "but it is a deplorable fact, i that they are making some headway with their pernicious, sinister [ teachings.

The youth is charged with causing the death of Miss Draves, whom he said he loved, by attack or at- ! tempted attack. If convicted of , murder on either count, he will be , subject to a sentence of death tin- . der Indiana law. i Yesterday, prosecutors began tlje parade of witnesses whose testimony they hoped would convince tlie Jury that tlie smart y dressed former high school athlete was ■ guilty. Two Gary policemen. Geo. i Regal and Edwin M’nner, who iiad not testified at tlie first trial, said they heard Kirkland confess, after his arrest, to attacking Miss Draves in the home of David Thompson, where the party was held, and again in the automobile. Three or four other witnesses will be summoned by the state according to Piosecutor John Underwood. Dr. Russell O. Wharton, to whose home Miss Draves' body was taken by Kirkland and other youths List Nov. 30, testified that she was dead when they laid her on a davenpert in his home. He told of firing several shots at the youths when they fled after he told them she was dead. Carolyn Draves, a sister, identified garments she said Arlene wore to the party. Murrell Clemens, a brother-in-law, told of Kirkland’s rushing from Dr. Wharton's home to his and exclaiming upon arrival: "Arlene’s dead. She feh.” The defense interjected a new angle into the tetimony when it inc ted that garments of Kirkland's companions be introduced as evidence. Attorney Oscar Thiel said these would show that the others were more to blame for Miss Draves’ death than Kirkland. Three ether youths were indicted with Kirkland and are awaiting trial. o _____ ' ■ Get the Habit—T a era at Home.
