Black Gold Strongly Backed in Derby—Jersey Looms as Site of Big Fights
ODDS GO DOWN AS MONEY > POURS IN ON GOOD COLT Winter Books Quote Mrs, Hoots' Entry in Kentucky Classic at 15 to 1 After Fine Showing in South, Black Gold, a jet black colt, is today the best backed entrant in the 1924 Kentucky Derby, with only three horses at shorter odds in early bookings. Black Gold, the pride of Mrs. Hoots, is quoted at 15 to 1. Sarazen,’Wise Counsellor and St. James, the fastest horses on the track last year, are the only ones of the 152 entries quoted shorter in the winter books than Black Gold.
Toted around the country, hobowise, in a freight car. Black Gold has been subjected to indignities not due a high-strung colt of his standing. He deserves all the luxuries of a palace car. And he was trained last season over the little half-mile track at Aurora. Last week Black Gold was shipped to Louisville from his success at the Louisiana Derby in New Orleans. Black Gold’s excellent showing in the South is no doubt responsible for the big play he is receiving at this time. From 40 to 1 to 15 to I—that’s the change in odds offered on Black Gold by the early season bookers. Steady streams of coin on Mrs. Hoots’ favorite are pouring in and the "bookies” odds are receding in direct proportion to the flood of wagers. Sarazen at present is the favorite at the almost prohibitive odds of 4 to 1 in some Chicago books. Such a price so far In advance of the actual running of the race is almost rldlcujous.

Times Baseball Problem By BILLY EVANS TAKE nothing for granted in baseball. If you doubt that statement just glance over the following situation: It is the last hglf of the ninth inning and the home team is trailing by the score of 5 to 3. Then things started to happen. Three times during the inning it seemed as if the home team had put over the three runs required to win the ball game. As many times the crowd rose to its feet, gave the mighty shout of victory, then to its great dismay something had happened which erased the much-needed runs. Perhaps half the crowd left the park believing the home team had scored a 6 to 5 victory. During the course of the inning not a hasehit was actually made by the team at bat. Neither did the team in the field make a fielding error, nor did the pitcher give a base on balls. Despite this the home team appeared to have won the game on three different occasions, but didn’t. Six men were used by the home team to complete this unusual inning. Aside from the three outs necessary to complete the last half of the ninth, three other outs were apparently made. ' Even the umpire naturally resulted by senavng „ flayer to the clubhouse. How did it all happen T (Send in your answers at once Billy Evans Contest Editor. Two season baseball passes to Washington Park, given by The Times, are the reward for the two best answers, and ten admissions to the opening Indian game also will be awarded for the next best answers.)
