PICKING DERBY WINNERS IS HARD WILDERNESS FAVORED GREAT RACE IS MAY 19 MANY SHOW CLASS

HOW many horses will start In the Kentucky Derby? At present that question is puzzling the experts as much as picking the probable winner. Somethiijg like 140 nominations have been made for the classic, and at present perhaps half of them are showing enough stuff to warrant the belief that they will start , Getting a 3-year-old ready for the Derby is a serious propositon. So early a start as May 19 makes it necessary to hurry the condition of many a horse, so that he will be able to travel the Derby distance of a mile and a quarter. • * • VERY often some slight accident on the very eve of the race forces the withdrawal of many of the real contenders. While seventy nominations are showing Derby stuff at present, from now on many cuts will be made in the probable starters. Last year Olympus was picked to make things interesting for Morvich, yet in his final trial for the event something went wrong and he was withdrawn at the eleventh hour and those who had wagered on him in the winter book didn’t even get a run for their money. • • • TRYING to pick the winner for the Derby this year Is some job, turf experts agTee. There is no horse in the race that stands out as did Morvich last year. After perusing the dope of the wise guys on the possibilities of the race at least a dozen loom up as strong contenders. * * *■ THE recent fine performances of Sally’s Alley has won many a supporter for Kilmer's filly. It is a rather interesting fact that only one filly. Regret, has ever won the Derby. There are many who believe that Sally’s Alley has an excellent chance to share that honor. * • SOME of the horses who also looked good to me, yet who as 2-year-oids did nothing phenomenal, were Carol, Better Luck and Hyperion. Carol, who seems to be adding to his following daily, stepped a mile while I looked on in 1:4? and was held in check all the way. If all the horses start who are now regarded as certainties. It will be necessary to split the event into two divisions This Is never quite as satisfactory, since there exists the element of doubt as to which is really the best horse. • • • THE going in the Derbv is so strenuous, however, that an owner seldom starts his entry unless he feels that it has a good chance. Such being the case, the general belief is that the nominations will be so reduced hv Derby day that one division will take care of the event. The fine showing of Wilderness in winning the Pacific handicap at Havre de Grace has won him many supporters. He was in fine form, covering the six furlongs in 1:12 3-5, beating a great field. In the winter books Enchantment continues to remain favorite.

TY COBB AND WALTER HAGEN

Which is the harder ball to hit, a baseball thrown with the terrific speed possessed by Walter Johnson, or a golf ball resting silently on a mound of sand? The golf swing and baseball swing aie* entirely different. In baseball much more depends on the body pivot than in golf. Proper rhythm of the arms is most essential in golf. There must be perfect co-ordination to get distance and accuracy. In baseball the main thing is to hit the ball. The placing Is not regarded as assential as the hitting. In baseball the idea Is to try to hit it safely and let It go where it will. A base hit-to left field, right field or center field is equally effective. In golf the placing of the ball is given much more consideration. Invariably the golfer has a set objectiive and the slicing or hooking of the ball throws him off his course. In golf, to get accuracy and distance there must be perfect co-ordlna tlon between mind, eves, arms, legs and body'. The slightest slip will prove fatal. While co-ordination is almost as essential in baseball, still the possl bllity of getting in trouble because of some little slip is not nearly so great. For my part I am convinced that hitting the golf ball is the more diffi cult job. What say you who have tried both games? , Northrop collected three hits and Davis poled two doubles.

WEAR TAILORING Not Merely Clothes

A suit made to “fit” anybody will not fit you correctly. There isn’t another body in the whole world shaped exactly like yours. Only individual tailoring will render you a correct fit. The tailoring—the fit and the workmanship—comprises practically all there is to an effective-looking suit of clothes. So, after all, the thing you buy at a tailor shop is the thing you don’t see until your suit is made. Selecting pattern and style is of small consequence in the building of a tailor-made suit,

ALL-WOOL Made-to-Measure SUITS

TECH HITS HARD AND WINS FIRST Shortridge Defeated in Initial City Series Clash, A crowd of more than 3,000 saW Technical win the first high school city series baseball game from Shortrldgo Tuesday at Tech field by the positive score of 16 to 6. Many errors of omission by the inexperienced north side team plus the heavy hitting of the Techites added up the huge total. The second frame was the big inning. The winners piled up ten runs. Peterson clouted a homer with the bases full and there was plenty of noise from the stands. In Iho seventh inning Rabe hit a terrific drive to left that was good for the circuit. Little Able Thatcher covered lots of ground in center for Shortridge and made some good catches. Sayce at shortstop also showed fairly well. The losers were almost helpless before the slants of Peterson. who struck out eleven and allowed only one hit in the seven innings he worked. He has one good asset of any pitcher, and that is control. The entire Tech team played the best ball of the season.

MAYBE TRIBE WILL ENJOY BETTER FORTUNE IN MAY A Fancy Start, at Any Rate, With Bill Burwell Acting the Hero,

Second game of the series with the Senators at Washington Park today. Much ado. The Indians w T on a game Tuesday and the athletes had a hunch their luck had changed, cripples or no cripples. They went through without a single misplay. Greetings to the month of May. May the boys do as well the remainder of the month as they did the first day. Bill Burwell must have used a bat made of Maypole wood Tuesday. He was a charm hitter. The Tribe got three runs; the Senators drew' blanks. Burwell drove in the three runs. Pitching against his old team-mates the big right-hander scored a shutout and madd the dose harder for tl;e Senators by slamming out two solid hits when hits meant runs. That’s about all one fellow can do. There's a pitcher for you. * I’urcell Starts Hitting Harry Purcell horned into the glare also. He started hitting and his two safeties had much to do with the Tribe victory. He also stole a base. It was a grand exhibition for a crippled team. The misfit Indians played with a catcher on first, an outfielder at short and another outfielder at third. Sicking was the lone regular lnflelder on the job. , And as stated previously, the Indians didn't commit an error. Christenbury didn’t cover ground like a regular third
