The Indians go one less safety off Huck Betts, but the Saints made six errors to four for the Betzelites. Three double plays by the Indians had much to do in squelching Bubbles Hargrave's boys. If perfect baseball had been played Indianapolis would have won by a count of 2 to 1. Warstler accepted twelve of thirteen chances at. short and Connolly at second snared seven without a miss. Betts accepted seven fielding chances for St. Paul, making a total of seventeen fielding plays in which two hurlers figured. Roettger at first, came through with two great stops on Matthews to rob the little fellow of hits and Anderson made a sensational run to pull down a long drive on Sprinz. Lennie Metz got two of the Tribe’s seven hits.

Clyde Van Dusen to Be Heavily Backed on Muddy Track. DR. FREELAND IS OUT Blue Larkspur Boasts Huge Following. BV GEORGE KIRKSEY l nitrd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 13.—One of the largest fields in history is expected to go to the barrier for the fiftyfifth running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs Saturday. Out of the 159 nominations about 1 twenty-three are considered prob- ■ able starters. If this number starts j it, will break the record made last year when twenty-two started with , Reigh Count the winner. Although many thousands of dol- , lars have poured into the winter bdoks on Blue Larkspur and made the Colonel E. R. Bradley colt an outstanding favorite, many horse- | men believe this year's race will be j an open affair and that the winner may come from among the outj siders. % In the event of bad weather and i a heavy track not more than be--1 tween thirteen and eighteen are expected to start. H. P. Gardner’s game Man O'War gelding, Clyde Van Dusen, which is now second choice, may be made the favorite under such conditions. Regret has been expressed in I many quarters over the decision of 1 Walter J. Salmon not to start Dr. 1 FTeeland, Preakness winner, in the Derby. Dr. Freeland will be re- . served for the Withers mile at Belmont Park. The far west has two sterling candidates in Baron Long’s Ervast and Earl Chaffee’s Naishapur, winner of the Tia Juana derby, and the middle west three great representatives in Blue „ Larkspur, Clyde Van Dusen and the Nevada Stock Farm’s Voltear. The east must look to Harry Payne Whitney’s Beacon Hill, the Warm Stable's The Nut, Jack Cohen’s Essare, and the Rancocas Stable’s Leucite to uphold its colors. Speedy workouts have been turned in recently by Ervast, Naishapur, i Fred M. Grabnet’s Windy City, H. |P. Headley’s Paraphrase and the Three D’s Stable’s Double Heart. It seems certain that Earl Sande wall not ride one of his three nominees—Hermitage, Nearby or Safety Pin—because of the disappointing showing of Hermitage in the Preakness.
