LOUISVILLE, May 6. —The dope was all askew today as horsemen, sportsmen and racing fans from all over the United States swarmed in for the epic of the racing season, the historic Kentucky, Derby. “Anything can happen this year," is the nearest expression of any concensus of opinion that can be gathered on the eve of the great $50,000 classic of the American turf. Not in a good many years, old-timers declare, have turfmen been so “up in the air" regarding the probable outcome of the Derby tomorrow. The weather, which la alternately cloudy and bright; the track, which is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the unknown abilities of many of the probable entries are factors contributing to the general confusion of opinion. Harry Payne Whitney, the famous Eastern turfman, is here and is confident ; one of his entries will win. In fact, it is reported Whitney has asked his trainer, i Jimmy Rowe, to place h>B material for a one-two finish. Prudery and Tryster ! are to carry the Whitney colors. Turf historians recalled today that if j Prudery wins it will be the third time i in thirty-seven years that a filly has captured the historic race. Ed Corri-j gun's Modesty, thirty-seven years ago, 1 was the first. In 1915 Whitney's Re- J gret was the second of her sex to achieve the honor. Besides the Whitney nags a horse that i Is attracting a lot of attention is Covnc,! who will be ridden by Max Garner. i Coyne has already been wagered on expensively. Others who have their sup- J porters are Leonardo 11, Exodus, Dart- j mor, Red Legs, Firebrand, Black Serv- | ant and Star Voter. Tragedy nearly removed one favorite fro mthe race yesterday when Sam Hildreth's Grey Lag, heavily played, pulled j up with a spread hoof. A number of smart turfmen believe the Derby lies between Tryster, Prudery, : Leonardo and Careful. Leonardo gave; another dazzling exhibition of speed yes- | terday, when he worked a mile in i I:3BV*. The track probably will be fast In which anew record for the mile and a quarter may be forthcoming. The world's record for that distance now is held by Hourless, made in a match race | with Omar Khayyam at Laurel. Mary States in the United States and Canada, Europe and Central America will be represented at the running of the Derby. Members of President Harding's Cabinet, financiers and big business men and women prominent In society will represent the United States. Dr. Esteeas Gil- ■ Borges, Venezuelan minister of foreign , relations, and party, will represent the : Isthmian republics. Thousands of visitors are here, in hotels, private cars and private yachts, while others will arrive tonight and tomorrow morning.

Navy's Crew Looms Best Among Leading Oarsmen of Nation NEW YORK. May 8. —Nary’s great rowing craw bids fair to capture- the American 8-oared championship again this year. The Middies, who will row against Harvard and Princeton on Lake Carnegie tomorrow, loom up as strongly as they did in I‘JJO. They have apparently maintained the wonderful ability to set and hold the pace that ltd them to the national and lnternatlo tal titles last summer. in order to have a just claim to championship. however. Navy must row in the classic Poughkeepsie regatta on the Hudson, June i'll. This is the one big representative event on the rowing schedule and the Middies are eager to compete in it. Word rceived today from Annapolis toy Charles H. Mapes, of the board of Stewards of the Inter-collegiate Rowing Association, made It practically certain that Navy will be among the starters. Final and favorable word from the Navy Department In Washington is expected dally by the Navy crew. With Navy counted on as an entrant and California's sturdy oarsmen coming on from the Pacific coast to take part in the Poughkeepsie regatta, the varsity event will have at least six entrants — Vennsvlvanla, Columbia, Cornell, Syracuse. California and the Middies. Wisconsin may swell the list of starters to seven but the Badger rowing mentors are holding off to see how their crew shapes up. ______ Coach Scores Boys Who Seek Athletics Only COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 6—“ The Idea of a boy s going to college solely to plav football or take part In other athletics is entirely wrong and can never develop a high standard of citizenship,” declared Dr. J. W. Wilce, Ohio State gridiron tutor, recently, before the Columbus Chamber of Commerce “father and son” forum. “It is. however,” he went on, “a phase of education and an important factor in contributing to high standaids of citizenship. for it is only by development of the physical powers that mental development can be retained.” Turning to the fathers, he told them their greatest mistake is being content to make their boys a success and a selfish pride in taking them into business with them before the boys reach a stage of development waich would enable them to attain the greatest possible heights. He advocated more playgrounds and recreational centers and fieri ired the ideal city in which to live was one which provided recreational centers where fathers could participate in the sports of their sons and mothers in the recreation of their daughters. Carl Mays Oot WASHINGTON, May 6.—More calamity hit the New York Yankees Thursday when Carl Mays, the only reliable pitcher of the club, went out of the game with an ulcerated tooth. The submarine pitcher has started taking treatments, but even without feared infections he hardly will be able to play for a week. From Navy to Army ANNAPOLIS. Md., May B.—Victor Noye*. of Ruthiand.

Who’ll Win?

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 6—Bteve O'Neill, of the Cleveland Indians, one of baseball's premier catchers and boxer of ability: "Carpenter will not last six rounds with Dempsey and the fight may be a whole lot shorter than that. It all depends on how long he can keep running away. It will end as soon as Jack can catch up with him. I don't see where Carpeutier has earned the right to fight Dempsey. He hasn't whipped anybody worth while. Ue could not hold his own with Tommy Gibbons, who, to my way of thinking, is the logical opponent for Dempsey. MOORE-LYNCH BOUT TONIGHT LOUISVILLE, May 6.—This city was crowded today with boxing fans and race followers. The big fistic event for tonight is the twelve-round contest before the Southern Athletic Club which will bring together Joe Lynch of New York City, champion bantamweight, and Pal Moore of Memphis. Dr. 11. E. Meckllng of Louisville, prominent business man and for a number of years identified with sporting affairs, will be the referee. Moore will make 118 pounds at 3 o’clock, while Lynch will fight at catch-weight. A big crowd of Moore's friends from Memphis are here to see the fight and puli for him to tilt the champ's crown. Both men were reported in tip-top condition and ready for the gong. Lynch and Moore have met on five previous occasions. Each got one decision in their two fights In Providence, It. 1., Lynch got the decision in their New York match, while Moore won in Jersey City. A bout that was declared a draw was fought in st. Louis. Lynch is younger and sturdier, but he lack the ring experience of the Memphis battler. A knockout would give Moore the championship which Lynch won from Pete Herman In New York a few months ago.

TICKET TAX INFORMATION. NEW YORK, May B.—Tex Rickard again wishes to straighten out the public regarding the seats for the coming fistic entertainment between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier. He wants the patron* to know that In all but the $o seats he will pay the war tax. That means the prices will be $5.50, $lO, sls, S'iO, 0, S4O and SSO. The main reason for this announcement is that a large number of folks have sent in their checks for the high-priced seats and in every case included the war tax. This means that tna executive force will be put to unnecessary trouble. Rickard exnects to open the seat sale at Madison Square Garden In a day or so. The larger-priced tickets will be sold first. The admission tickets will be placed on sale the day of the contest. In addition to the above announcement, Rickard said he had received a letter from Victor Breyer, the French sports writer, in which he verified Descamp’s cable of a week ago to the effect that Carpentier would sail on the steamship Savoie, May 7, for America, accompanied by Paul Journee, a Freuch heavyweight Breyer and several other French and English sporting writers will leave the other side in the middle of June. ROSTAN AND WILLARD. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind.. May o.—Navy Rostan, of Chicago, and Clarence Willard of Elkhart. Ind.. fought eight rouuds to a draw here last night.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 6,1921.

INDIANS SHOW CLASS BEHIND GOOD HURLING With Cavet on Mound the Hoosiers Look Like Best in League. ENZMANN FACES TEST LOUISVILLE, May o.—Followers of the Indians hero for the many sport features offered by this city over the week-end were enjoying plenty of laughs today over the mauling the Hoosiers banded the Colonels yesterday. Just to check the boastful Blue Grassers, Manager Hendricks sent Pug Cavet to the mound and the old reliable had the local sluggers cowed. As u result the Indians trotted off with the afternoon honors, 12 to 2. The Tribe players looked like champions behind the food pluming baudod out by the veteran southpaw and the confidence i..dinted b) his good arm caused the Heudrieksmen to perrorm brilliantly in all department* It was a severe beating that the Colonel* suffered and today they were not talking In such'loud tone* as they were following the Wednesday fracas. But with Cavet having had hi* turn .Manager Hendricks wt a somewhat puzzled today over his pitching selection for me afternoon in the third game of the series. He said he probably would star: Johnny Enzmann, late of the Phillea, who only recently joined up as an Indian. The off day tomorrow will aid slightly in permitting the Tribe shaky staff to recover, but even with the holiday at hund, the situation for Sunday doe* not look any too brilliant. The park will be packed Sunday and there will be hundreds of Hoosier rooters present who plan to remain over, following the Derby tomorrow. Hendricks Is keenly desirous of winning the Sabbath day contest for that reason, and if be doe* not send Stryker back to the mound the chances are that Pug Cavet will try it again. The Indians certainly were on the warpath yesterday and they forced the Colonels to use three pitchers. First It wa* Roy Sanders, then Ben Tincup and last Herb Miller tried it, but in each case the Hoosiers kept swinging plenty of damaging bats. With the exception of one inning the Indians gave Cavet fine j support and three double plays were] among the day's features. Big Tex Covington, was slightly Injured sliding to second In the fourth in- ‘ nlng and did not finish the last half of the game, but this morning be said he believed he would be able to resume his' place in the line-up this afternoon The Indians certainly look like a swell ball club when they get effective pitching. Klnsella and Sehrelber each got three hits yesterday. Sehrelber had eleven chances in the field and accepted all but one. Rube Lutzke played first base after Covington lett the game. The boy* get a rest tomorrow and all are planning to see the Kentucky Derby. The city is filled to capacity and few rooms are available \ isltora looking for a place to sleep usually are told that every room Is taken but that Louisville has nineteen parks.

Jack Pitches Camp, but Will Take Life Easy for Few Weeks Champ to Start Heavy Work June I—Carpentier Considers Atlantic City. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 6.—Jack Dempsey and his entourage pitched their camp here today to train for the champion’s bout with Georges Carpeutier in Jersey City, on July 2. The airdrome selected for training quarters is not yet complete, but will be ready in a few days. Dempsey does not plan to dc any heavy work until the las tof May, but will continue taking It easy. If he wants to attend to his correspondence he will have plenty to occupy his spare time. In the last week he has received 1,000 letters, some asking for autographed pictures and others wishing him good luck in his coming fight. It was rumored today that Georges Carpentier may also establish his camp at Atlantic City. Agents of the French champion here have selected Manhasset, L. 1., as the site for Carpentier's camp, but it is said Manager Des Camps has been led to consider the financial side of the training camp business for the first time and has been dickering with an Atlantic City man. As Carpentier and Des Camps are scheduled to sail frqm France for the United States tomorrow, it is doubtful that definite word regarding their plans will be available until they land in New York.

Many Bargain Days in Big Leagues Coming as Result of Bad Weather

NEW YORK, May 6.—Forty-five games in the major leagues have already been pushed ahead for double headers during the hot summer months, due to bad weather. The weather breaks have been a little against the American league. Ban Johnson’s circuit has twenty-four games on the shelf, while the National has twentyone. Ohio's pets, the Cleveland Indians, and the Cincinnati Reds have been the most fortunate in getting out of extra work as both Buckeye clubs have only a pair of postponement*. The Boston Red Sox have been hit hardest, being forced to give way to the weather man nine times. The White Sox, Y'ankees and St. Louis Cardinals are next with eight each. In the National league, St. Louis has eight postponements, Chicago seven, New York five, 'Pittsburgh four, Philadelphia four, Brooklyn three, Boston four, Cincinnati two. In the American league the Red Sox have nine, the Y'ankees eight. White Sox eight. Athletics six, Tigers five, Browns five. Senators five and Indians two. As far as possible for box office reasons thr magnates will fill in off days with postponed games to keep their athletes busy. Otherwise they will have to give two games for the price of one.
