< ;si^y.nmui:ilßilll^lliillllllMUWglMßiMlWHHPPWßlMHßlllßWWßMi GOING TO THE HACKS? **iitE you going down to the A Downs? Louisville racing starts on Saturday. The spring meeting in the Kentucky city always has a great appeal. The balmy air Is a tonic after a long winter and there Is always the added zest for many who are witnessing the first racing of the season. After a time it becomes more or less of an old story. In the late spring and summer at Latonia the weather warms up and at times the heat makes everyone uncomfortable. The first Churchil Downs meeting usually is the most enjoyable of them all. And then there is the Derby—i'll 10 Derby. There may be other 1 >erbys at other tracks —but lafter.ill there is only ONE. The Louisville hotels are crowded right now with eager turf fans. And the stables at ( htiirliill Downs and Douglas Park are tilled with lean-limbed thoroughbreds. Probably never before has there been such a rush of horsemen to the bluegrass track. Hundreds of racers have failed to secure accommodations. HITHER AND THITHER What a jam there will be in Louisville, by Thursday of next week. There will be wild uniting hither, thither and yon as hotel patrons are forced to vacate their rooms for those who have reservations for the Derby. Churchill Downs, with its many recent improvements, is one of the outstanding Ameriran racing courses. And enthusiasm? There’s no doubt about the Kentuckians loving the game. Something in the air fairly makes the blood tingle as the sleek equine aristocrats parade to the post In Kentucky. There seems to be an added thrill at Churchill Downs just before the barrier is sprung. And (then, "They’re off!" from thousands of throats, the jockeys up on the necks of their mounts urging them on, the final duels down the stretch, the posting of the numbers between groans and cheers,, and, last hut not least—the mutuel prices; all of that will happen on Saturday for the first time this spring at Louisville. WIIAT A KICK! What a kick! Is It any wonder that the city is crowded already? ts it strange that the very heart of the thoroughbred country should have a race meeting with just a little touch of "atmosphere" and enthusiasm not found elsewhere? Rubbling Over arrived at Churchill Downs on Thursday and was greeted hy a crowd that had anticipated the Bradley Derby favorite’s arrival. Kentucky fans look upon the Idle Hour Farm entry as the hope of the West against the formidable eastern entry. Rubbling Over and Pompey are the future betting favorites, being quoted at odds of 4 to 1. Rhinock continues to be the outstanding performer which has trained at the Downs. He whs given a slow workout Thursday over the Derby distance and was timed In 2:17 1-5. POMPEY DUE Pompey and Black Marla, wore expected In on Saturday or Sunday from the East. Canter was worked out at Pimlico after the set*ond raco on Thursday and went the Derby route In 2:10 3-5 with Jockey Turner up. Another Derby candidate, Kockman, went the mile and a quarter at Pimlico In 2:12. The latest scratch is Penstiok of the J. K. L. Ross establishment, Trainer McDaniel ajitiounoed Thursday '’that the 3-year-old would not be shipped to Kentucky. * * SL TYSON, the speedy New York Giant outfielder, developed at Louisville by ..Ox- McCarthy, now manager of the Cuhs, did his old boss a dirty trick Thursday after staging a reunion, shaking hands—and all that son of thing. The lean gardener leaned up against one in the ninth for a pinch single that scored what proved to be the winning run. The Cubs counted one tally In their half of the final frame, but the game went to tits McGrawit.es, 2 to L • • • Pick ’em out of these for the Prea knees. Wliich one will it be next Monday: Baggen baggage, Canter, Dress Parade, Bookman, Display, Nirhavo, Navigator or Mars? It’s likely to be one of them, la liter probably will be the favorite. Baggenbaggage must be considered very seriously. • • • MTSSIONER BROWER If of the New York boxing l T J body must have a sense of humor or is just naturally dumb. He says: “If Dempsey has any sportsmanship, he will give Wills a chance." That's enough to make any ,one laugh right out in church. Just think it over. The idea of appealing to Dempsey’s sportsmanship in a matter that Involves some $500,000, Is the best Joke of the day.

Sluggers From North Move in as Brewers Depart— Hill Wins Another. By Eddie Ash Frank Henry, left-hander, was the probable pitching choice for the In dians today to face the Minneapolis Millers In the series opener at Washington Park. It was "ladles’ day” and a marked Increase in attendance was expected. The Millers, here for their first 1926 visit, are the same slugging crew of years past, with Mike Kelley directing the forces. They will be In town four days. The Kells are occupying second place in the league race and the Indians sixth, the Tribesmen having climbed a notch by defeating the Brewers again Thursday, 7 to 2. Carmen Hill puzzled the Milwaukee pastimera in the series wind-up and held them to six hits, two being of the scratch variety. The veteran pitched in superb style and the visitors didn’t reach base until the fourth inning. It was Carmen's fourth victory this year. Joe Eddleman. so'uthpaw, one of the best Brewer twlrlers, failed to deceive the Bushmen in certain spots and they landed on him with a real punch occasionally. It was another smart fielding game and only one error was charged, Indianapolis making the miscue. It was the second straight "win" for the Indians and they performed as though confidence had been restored. The victors poled nine hits, three being doubles, Milwaukee used two pinch hitters and a pinch runner in the eighth and McCracken finished on the Brewer mound.

Tribe Gossip

The first ten men to face Hill Thursday were retired. Shuite, second up in the fourth, scratched a hit when Yoter misjudged a hard hopper^ Sicking accepted eleven chances at second. The error charged against him was a bad peg to first In the fourth, trying for a two-piy killing. Shuite aocepted ten chances af. second for the losers. He robbed Stephenson of a hit in the seventh by a lucky break. Wyatt was on first and dashed for second. Steve met the ball squarely on the nose, and Shuite, who had left his position to cover second on Wyatt, ran Into the line drive and snared It. Rehg was robbed of a hit in the eighth. With Klugman on first Walter crashed one to the left of Simon at third. Simon barely touched it, but enougli to deflect the ball to Strohm at short, who threw to Shuite, forcing Klugman. “Wabash Joe” got a single and walk, Thursday, scored once and drove In a run. He made a spectacular catch off Luce, first up In the ninth, when he sprinted Into deep right center and captured a drive near the fence. “Pep” Florence. batting lefthanded against southpaw pitching, poled two doubles, one going to the scoreboard. Walter lloike was out of the game on account of a badly sprained thumb. Klugman played first and got a double and walk. He looked fair enough as n first sacker. Sicking and Yoter were victims of line wallops straight at Flippin. Elmer Yoter made a daring catch of a foul Thursday in the sixth stanza when he snared Luce’s high twister near the Tribe bench. He pulled up Just in time to avoid colliding with bats and the top of the dugout.

MAULERS DELIVER AT SHOW Inland A. C. Fistlo Bouts Please Dugan Has Better of Glaser. The Inland A. C. fistlo show At Tomlinson hall Thursday night supplied a variety cf action and the majority of fans enjoyed the pastim* Ing and remained until the finish. There was a mixture of knockdowns, knockouts and good boxing and the program was carried out as advertised despite the fact warm weather held down attendance. Here’s the way The Times viewed the outcome of the six-bout card: , Jai-klo Dugan. Louisville, outpointed Charlie Glamor. Chicago. In ten founds. Jimmy McDermott. Terre Haute, oul>pointed Don Carson.

Indianapolis. tn four rounds. The main go boys , Dugan anti Glaser, proved willing mixers and the crowd applauded their efforts. Dugan’s punches appeared, to carry more sting and he was better at Infighting. Glaser gave little ground, however, and It was the kind of fight fans enjoy. McDermott and Carson staged a fast seml-wlnd-up and fought every round of the eight. It was worth the money. Dennis was no match for Dodd and Referee Mitchell wisely stopped the affair In the second period. Watson did too much running tn his scrap with Cox and lost points by failure to do his share of lending. Shine floored Kepner with a surprise punch as their bout started and three more times in the first round. A fifth knockdown was scored by Shine In the second stanza and in the fourth Larry went down for the long count. That surprise blow ns the opening bell sounded proved Kepner’s undoing. Roberts and Cappadora-missed a Hock of punches in the first prelim, but Roberts landed enough to an edgq. I. A. C. HANDBALL The Indianapolis A. C. handball team defeated Muncle Y. M. C.
