■WBiffliituiißfiitninuMiitDiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiinwfßimnKin^ \tirrin’ **the DOPE By VEDDER GARD winnniniiniinmmil I ißLTminiimißßßimiinatllß^tfllMHflßlgnßilHgßa SOME DERBY DOPE S HERE’S many a slip twixt the cup and lip. Yesterday it was Car laris, Carlaris, Car laris. Odds in the winter books of the Kentucky Derby were quoted at 6 to 1 on the sensational English-bred 3-year-old. W. T. Anderson’s colt was the favorite for the big race on May 15 at Churchill Downs. But today, since the story from the Pacific Coast that the thoroughbred has an Infected foot, things are entirely changed. Lncertainty is In the air. Just how much credence to put in the report is one angle. Another is whether the ailment is serious enough to impair the colt s chances to get ready by Derby time. TURF SENSATION Carlaris IS the turf sensation of the year. But it is a little early to be too extravagant in praise. Carlaris has turned in great performances —no doubt about that. The colt has been victor in seven out of eight starts as a 3-year-old, and ran the mile and a quarter in 2:02 3-6, a full second faster than the Derby record. But one, must remember that the horse did not carry stake weight. That is the real test. And it is five weeks from next Saturday that the Derby is run, Many tilings can happen—and it seems as if something already has happened. There is nothing more uncertain than horse racing. There were plenty of good 2-year-olds last season and plenty of competition will be forthcoming in the Kentucky classic. Some time ago it was thought that the great Canter would not he made ready for the Derby. Things have taken on a different tone now as the result of the nomination of Canter in a number of Havre De Grace events. There surely would not be any reason for naming Canter In these early spring races unless he was to be sent to the post.

DEPENDS ON CONDITION Probably if the thoroughbred reaches a condition satisfactory to Trainer Rites and Owner J. E. Griffith the colt will be seen in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico and the Derby—or, at least, in one of them. C'anter won some $113,000 last season, and was rated the best of the 2-year-olds by many experts, especially over a distance. Pompey, however, trimmed Canter, Flight of Time, Haste and others in the Bebnont Futurity. He also beat Canter in the Hopeful at Saratoga. Pompey did not race after the big Belmont baby feature, and, therefore, did not see action in the mile. Pompey won seven of ten races and was second in two, adding up $121,000 for Owner William R. Coe. There surely will be much eastern money on Pompey if the 3-year-old goes to the post on May 15 at Chftrehill Downs. Already there is plenty of the long green in the winter books. Joseph E. Widener’s Haste has been in Kentucky ail winter, having been sent to Keeneland farm, near Lexington, after his failure last September in the Beimont Futurity. The Derby eligible is now working out at Churcliill Downs. In a. Tuesday workout Haste was taken around the Downs course once and then galloped a half-mile in :51 2-5 and five-eighths in 1:05 4-5. Haste was a star at the Saratoga meeting as a 2-year-old. Widener, who Is boss of Belmont Park and one of the leading producers of thoroughbreds in this country, believes Haste is his greatest racer.

TOKEN LOOKS FIT Token, one of Harry Payne Whitney’s Derby candidate®, worked out three-quarters of a mile on Monday on a track that was deep in spots in 1:16, in one of the best Derby spins of the spring season. Champ de Mars of the Keeneland stable turned in the fastest and easiest spring Derby trial Tuesday at Churchill Downs when the chestnut colt covered threequarters in 1:151-5. From now on there will be more of these training reports from the various points at which Derby eligibles are being prepared. A backward spring has held back the 3-year-olds conditioning, but the trials will be stretched out soon and a better line will be obtained on the colts in workouts over thp longer distances. It is said that most of the candidates wintered in fine shape, and with .no further mishaps, will be in shape for the Kentucky classic. At the present time Bubbling Over is one of the big favorites and the chances of Baggenbaggage are being seriously considered. Among the 3-year-olds with splendid records last season are Flight of Time, Navigator, Penstick and Rockman. PLENTY OF GOOD ONES Yes, there are plenty of good ones eligible for the Kentucky Derby. Looking at the possibilities of the race this far in advance, it appears as though the competition will be exceptionally spirited. But so many things can happen to a high-strung thoroughbred. Many of them are extremely susceptible to injury and a slight accident makes a wonderful bit of equine machinery useless. Perfection is needed to win. Carlaris, the sensational, tlie first to show remarkable ability as a 3-year-old, is the first to run into hard luck. There was no better prospect for the turf feature until news came that the colt had an infected foot. Now, if the story is true, Carlaris is a bigger question mark than many of the others.

Slim Hurler Allows World Champions One Run in Six Innings as Mates Hit Hard. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor HOT SPRINGS, Ark., April 7.—Ned Niles, slender pitcher from Beaver, Okla., was in a happy frame of mind today as his Tribe mates showered him with congratulations for his superb twirling Tuesday against the Pittsburgh I’irates, champions of baseball. The Indians won the game, 8 to 5, by a powerful batting attack, but it was Niles who held off the big leaguers for six innings and twice struck out the mighty Glenn Wright.

Niles held the champions to one run and seven hits in six stanzas, three of the seven safeties being infield “bleeders”—little rollers hard to handle. He tired in the sixth inning, but escaped damage and gave way to Thompson, a southpaw, who was bombarded. The Pirates have a reputation of murdering left-handed pitching, and they walloped Thompson for four runs and five hits In three Innings, Wright and Carey getting home-runs, Cuyler a triple, Gooch a double and Cronin a single. The big Hoosier stayed in there, however, and got by well enough to prevent the champions from winning. The Indians' big lead saved Tommy. Pittsburgh used Meadows on the mound for six innings and Culloton three, but Niles outpitched both. The tall Tribesman uncorked a deceptive change of pace that was dazzling and attracted keen attention from the bosses of the champions. He did not walk a man and showed good control of his curve ball. Ned has Improved 100 per cent over his last year's form and has moved right up with Burwell and Hill in the estimation of Manager Bush. Burwell, of cours' - , is the natural choice to pitch the opening game at Kansas City April 13, but unless he rounds into form faster, Hill or Niles may get the assignment. Elmer Yoter, third sacker, was injured in practice Tuesday and went on the hospital list along with Matthews, who Is 111 with the flu. Klugman played Yoter’s position Tuesday and got two hits, but was awkward in the field. Joe Is not at home on that side of the diamond. Yoter had a finger on his gloved hand turned back by a thrown ball, but the bone was not broken and he may not be out of action long.

Notes of Tuesday’s Game The Indiana looked the oart of chamnions in the series finale with the Pirate* and pounded out eighteen hits, twelve olf Meadows and six off Culloton. They cot live extra base wallops. Hank Sehredber banged out four hits hi five trips, one being a home run over the short left-field fence. Reb Russell also smacked out a homer near the same spot. Riggs Stephenson whaled a triple, double and single and Waiter Hoik© got a double and a single. With the exception of Niles every Indian hit safetly one or more times. Sicking and Schreiber went big in the field and executed two double plays. Max Carey batted for Earl Smith in the seventh and drove the ball over the leftfield fence. Cuyleir had seven putouts in center and got two hits. He is what is known as a beautiful ball player. Bats hard, stars m the field, runs bases well and throws like a rifle shot. Waner, expensive coast product, got one hit in five attempts Tuesday, and it was an infield roller. Rhyne the other expensive coast boy with the Pirates, appears to be a better investment than Waner. Lefty Thompson got a big laugh when he fanned Traynor and Mclnnis. The longest drive of the day didn’t go safe. Reb Russell socked the ball deep into the distant right-field corner, but Barnhart made a long run and snared it. Barnhart had two errors on ground balls. In the three-game series. Pittsburgh won two contests 3 to 2 and 13 to 5. and Indianapolis Oi\e. 8 t > 5. Each , team got thirty-five hi.a in the series, which speaks very well for Indianapolis. BUI McKechnie. Pirate manager, says kind words of the Indians and predicts they’ll “go somewhere” in the American Association race if the pitching staff deUvers. Phil Morrison, pitcher, obtained from the Pirates. worked out with the Indians Tuesday. He took only a light drill.

'RjRASSIE [kIRDIES 1 T B >~ DICK MILLER imniiiiuiiiiiiniiiuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiuiiiiiiimiiiimimnQiir AROUND LOCAL COURSES WITH THE MAN WHO GOLFS FOB SPORT Tuesday was weather man’s day, and the golfers played their dally round in the clubhouse. At Riverside the conversation drifted to the question of “Why did you happen to take up golf?”

Chick Nelson, Riverside pro, graduated Into the game from the caddy ranks. To Chick golf was born. Others were not so lucky. Chick said he could understand the reasons expounded by most of the players at his course except that of Charles Bad, a dally visitor at the course. “Bad followed players about this course for three years,” Chick said, “before he finally took a club In hand and started to play. I never could figure him out and no one ever was able to get him to tell the real motive for It.” "I felt he tried to learn all the points of the game before he tried to play. It was not a bad idea, for today he knows all the rules and Is a pretty good player,” he said. "Such Is not the case in most instances,” Nelson said. “Women usually say they start to play to be with hubby to escape being a golf widow. Exercise is an an attractive fad to women and the thought that the game will reduce weight has tempted more than one of the fair sex.” “Men have varied excuses for getting into the game, but more than one admits he has taken his first swing at the little white pellet because some friend wagered that he would miss it on his first stroke. The friend, in most cases, was right,” according to Nelson. “That first miss is their unconscious start at the game.” Any real man seeks to conquer that -which resists him, and John Mllnor of the park board will stand back of that statement.” Milnor said he was in the West attending a convention when he was asked if he played golf. “Me play golf—well, I should say not,”, he said. Mllnor said he was unable to forget the expressions of surprise shown by the men when he said he would never play golf, or at least, that he could not, and never had. ‘"‘When I returned I slipped out

RECORDS BROKEN IN SWIMS Three Marks Go in National A. A. U. Aquatic Tourney Events. 11V United Press CHICAGO, April 7. —This la the third day of the national A. A. U. swimming, diving and polo championships—with three world records already broken, Johnny Weismuller, the “incomparable” having tasted of defeat, and the Cincinnati V. M. C. A. far in the lead in points. The relay quartet from Cincinnati went out Tuesday night and downed eight of the world’s greatest swimmers to win the relay in the new record time of 3:38 which is :01.6 seconds better than tho former record held by the 1. A. C. A few moments later another record went up when Miss Ethel Lackle stroked her way to anew world’s record in the 60-yard free style. Her time was :27.6, bettering the.old mark by two-fifths of a second. Corrine Condon of Omaha, Neb., held the old record. Third Record The third new record went to a woman when Agnes Gerahty of the Women’s Swimming Association of New York covered the 50-yard breast stroke distance in :36 to better the old mark by the big margin of 8.6 seconds. The relay brought out the finest swimming of the meet. Johnny Weismuller left a sick bed in a vain effort to bring the I. A. C. up in the running with a victory. Fifty-Yard Close The closest race of the evening came in the 60-yard men’s free style, with four men finishing in what looked like a dead heat. The judges finally gave the victory to Phil Dauber speck of Venice, Cal. Ralph Breyer, I. A. C., was second and Laufer third. A1 White, Olympic Club, San Francisco had little trouble in defending his low diving board crown and Dave Fall of Stanford University took second place. Erich Ridemaeher and Gustav 1 Frolieh, German swimmers, gave exhibitions.
