SURF fans heard some longawaited news today. Pompey, champion juvenile of last season, had his first workout Friday at Belmont Park. According to observers the colt is in excellent condition after the long winter and is, perhaps, 200 pounds heavier than last season. One of the chief favorites for the Kentucky Derby will be watched with eagle eyes from now on. • * • Don't ever get it into your head that Walter Laul'er is a “loafer.” ~.C-29 is a resemblance in the name, but iu a swimming tank —oh, boy! * * * Skeptics who will not believe that spring is hev'e, just take a .look at the amateur column today, * * * Bud Taylor's judgment and reputation as a “picker” will be at stake next Wednesday night, when the South Side Turners stage an amateur boxing show at the Turner gym. Five entries on the card will be from Bud's gymnasium* at Terre Haute, and they were recommended to Arthur Paetz, Turner matchmaker, by Taylor as capable of turning back any opposition Indianapolis has to offer. The "Hut" enfries are: B Ray Van Hook. 105 pounds; Nasser Nasser, 105; Ross Wilson, 126; Phil Walters, 126, and Bud De Haven. 155. Paetz returned from Terre Haute Friday. He said ho will probably match the 126-pounders, Wilson and Walters, against Harold Hollo c>f the Turners and ybrnian Clark of Fairbanks-Morse, while Cecil Hurt will likely be paired with De Haven. Opponents will he found for the others of the visiting quintet. * * * What’s tills? What's this? , Passaic High School did not cop the Kastfern prep tournament. Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse won the championship., at Glenn Falls, N. Y, by a score of 41 to 34. * *. * EIFFj is just one durn thing thing after another for Tex Rickard, New York promoter of anything and everything that brings a golden stream at the box office. Tex doesn't stay up at the. top without many a battle on his own account. Some of the greatest struggles are not in the Madison Square Garden ring. The latest effort to dethrone Rickard and end his monopoly on the big fights is the signing of Jack Delaney of Bridgeport by Bert J. Fugazy for an outdoor bout at Ebbetts field, Brooklyn, with Ad Stone, the Philadelphia llight-heavyweight, on May 26. V Delaney is scheduled to meet Berlenba>ch for the light-heavy title in June. The title holder has signed with Rickard. What will happen if Delaney sticks by Fugazy? This isn't the first time that Tex has been challenged by other promoters. Can Tex keep control of all the important matches? It is a stupendous task. Rickard has been at the top for a long time, lie is a hard man to beat. * * * Sponsors of the movement to legalize in Massachusetts ‘Sunday major league baseball and other Sabbath sports for which admission is charged, have won their fight to put the question to a State wide vote. The State Supreme Court Friday dismissed petitions asking that the secretary of State be enjoined from placing the measure before the people in a referendum. * * * Many thanks, weather man, for any little favors. The sun looks mighty fine. Thought maybe you had forgotten this was supposed to be spring. * * * It is said those Oklahoma City folks know their oil.

Itain, rain, stay away, Ownie’s pitchers want to play. * • * The Detroit Tigers won their tenth straight game on Friday—but the American League season has not started yet.

PLANSARE UPSET BY SHOWERS Indian Pitchers Need Work in Oklahoma City Exhibition, Games. (By Times Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., April JO. —The Indians crashed into a rainstorm at Oklahoma City and did not get out In the open Friday. Therefore the first game of the exhibition series with Fred Luderus’s Western Leaguers was called off. Hoike, Hchreiber, Russell and Stedman played hand ball at the Y. M. C. A. In order to keep limbered up, but the remainder of the Bushmen stayed close to the Skirvin Hotel, Tribe headquarters. Weather permitting, the Indianapolis and Oklahoma City teams were to struggle In a contest this afternoon, and another*battle will Vie 6tagod here Sunday. Burwell and Ray were slated to do the Tribe pitching today, unless Manager Bush changed his mind. The postponement Friday upset Bush’s plans to some extent, however, and he was uncertain about his hurling selections for this afternoon. Line on Pitchers The object in scheduling this Oklahoma City series was for the purpose of giving Bush a definite line on his pitchers before the first series of the champioshlp season, starting at Kansas City Tuesday. The rainstorm here was a blow, however, and knocked Bush’s arrangements into a cocked hat. At this time, therefore, he la not ready to say who will receive the opening day mound assignment other than to Indicate it will be one of three men, Burwell, Hill or Niles. Southpaw Carl Ray has impressed Manager Bush with his prowess and will be started in one of the Kansas City games. He owns a neat C"rve, hard to follow by left-handed batters. He is an old-timer, but appears durable and smart. There has been no chans© to see him in action under fire, but he really does perform as though h© knows what lt’ all about. Buck Improves Kansas City has started to wallop the ball in exhibition games, and it will take good pitching to stop Spencer Abbott’s Blues. The condition of Pitcher Buck Schemanske. who was left in a Hot Springs hospital, was reported improved Friday and an operation may be avoided. The big Detroit boy has an attack of a certain form of appendicitis that obstructs the lower Intestines. The physician in charge of Schemanske’s case is keeping in touch with Manager Bush by wire.

Indians and Millers Reign Favorites in Association Race Four Scribes Choose Bushmen to Win Flag. By Eddie Ash Times Spor‘s Editor OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., April 10.—As American Association teams prepare, to go lo the post next Tuesday for tho 1026 pennant race, Ownie Bush’s Indians rule the favorite by n narrow margin over Minneapolis, according to the opinion of baseball writers in the eight, cities of the league.

Four scribes selected Indianapolis to finish first in a pre-season guessing contest suggested by The Indianapolis Times correspondent, on the trail of the Tribe. Threo chose Minneapolis and one named Louisville to repeat. That the Hoosiers are “feared” throughout the Hickey circuit is shown by the fact that foqr socalled experts select them to land first position, threo name them for second and one places them in the third hole. It is a pleasant tribute, at that, to know that everybody figures Indianapolis worthy of a first-division berth. It Is the only club in the league that remains wholly in the first division among the eight guesses cast. The Bushmen did not draw a position below third, which is some compliment, by tho way. Only Three Selected Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Ixmisville are the only teams selected by ono or more to land the championship. Os course, this guessing game in tho American Association is merely long-shot opinion, extremely long-shot, because press associations do not carry much gossip and information about various clubs that would sharpen the writers. In other words, the A. A. scribes do not get tho same service as big league authors concerning rival teams. But many American Association fans enjoy seeing the scribes hit or fniss and, therefore, tho "guessing” goes on each spring in some cities. The dope, of course, usually is upset, which goes to make baseball a daily Interesting sport. Ball clubs ordinarily are matched too evenly in the American Association to allow the scribes much of a chance to figure tho outcome of a race calling for 168 games. A\ riters in Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Dmisville stayed by their home clubs for j>ennant choice, but 1 leaving the "home guard” leaning ! out of it, Indianapolis got three votes, Minneapolis two and Louisvillo none.

Consensus of Opinion Consensus of opinion among box score exports in eight cities would cause the finish of the 1926 race to appear as follows: Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Louisville, Kansas City, i|t. Paul, Milwaukee and Toledo, even, and Columbus, last. The following writers took a chance and expressed themselves thusly in the pre-season guessing: . V h .HndlananolU Times>. Iniltanatiolls.

ijjRASSIE [BIRDIES By DICK MILLER in!l!ll!llllllllll!l!lllll!llll!MI!u AROUND LOCAL COURSES WITH THE MAN WHO GOLFS FOR SPORT f . N enjoyable time watt had |/\ playing the first nine at Riv* Ii orslde with Chick Nelson. Tho weather was fine, and tha course was exceptionally fast considering the recent rains. Riverside is a sandy course and dries out much faster than most courses. '• • * * The first nino was played on ait permanent greens, save the second. On the second nine, Chick says No. 16, is a temporary. The rogula.r greens on Nos. 2 and 16 holes, will be in shape May 15. Red top fast growing grass lias been sown and will cover them until bent can replace It. ** • < After a rest at the turn, a drink and a bit of relaxation, one is ready

for tho trip “in.’’ A steady drlvo 13 needed on hole 10. A slice or a hook moans you are off tho course at tha m e r c y of the many traps, Chicle said. If your drive is straight, the second shot should lie with an iron and be stiff, but not too far, as the back of tho green is well trapped for an overshot. If you are near the third stroke, a pitch

shot, will make two putts easy for the par 6. The distance is 454 yards. Hole 11 requires a long hard drive, for position to accurately pitch the second shot onto the well trapped green encircled with sand. Two puts makes par 4. Distance 330 yards. Hole 12 is easy, according to Nelson. Play a drive, easy pitch onto the green, tw’o putts and the 290 yards have been played in pa,r 4. The first tough hole on the second nine is 13. A long drive and a second shot with a midiron means you should roll on tho green. Two putts aro allowed. Par is 4 and hard to make. The distance is 375 yards. You are now on the hill, ready to shoot down onto the fourteenth green, 150 yards away. Use the mashie and pitch the hall with bock spin. Two putts make it par 3. Chick states that you probably wiil he wishing for a chance to uncork n nice long drive that you have had in your system, and Hole 15 affords t hi..'. Drive as far as you can on the first stroke and follow' with a hrassie shot. Both must be played with care to keep them straight. A short pitch will probably be the third shot, providing distance has been obtained with the first two. Two putts are figured in the par 5, which is a hard one. The distance is 575 yards. Hole 16 is the easiest on the course. Nelson advises a pitch onto the green 102 yards away and two putts to make par easy in 8. Standing on Tee 17, the green will perk up 410 yards away. To make it in par 4 is hard. Make a long straight drive, a long mashie shot, and if you are now on the green two putts puts you over in perfect golf. Just before you reach the club house, you are given one more attempt to drive, and drive long. Most golfers like to make a nice long drive better than to sink a fortyfoot putt. Hole 18, is 305 yards from the tee. A long drive makes the second shot a short pitch to the peg. Two putts moke par easy at 4. Total par for the second nine Is 36. Riverside, that was more or lees neglected, by the fact that one man had to care for both Riverside and the Coffin course last year is again in its old time condition. Some of Indianapolis’s most prominent golfers learned tho game at Riversddo and they will no doubt be glad to hear it is aagin shipshape. The clubhouse has been repainted interior and exterior and the lockers cleaned. Try a round. , HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL Nohlosvtlle. 15: Broad Ripple, T. _ . West Newton. I); Mooresv Uo.
