THREE-YEAR-OLD STARS WITHHELD FROM WINTER EVENTS

Wait for Rich Races in Summer Great Competition Expected for Huge Stakes This year. P.Y BERT DEMBY CniUrt Pi-rsi St iff Corr^-'Donitrnt CHICAGO. March 23. Great competition among 3-year-old race horses will be witnessed this year, If the policy followed by owners during the winter months means that all arc preparing for the huge stakes of the summer. Judging from the fields which have competed in the feature races of the winter at the smaller tracks. It would seem that each of the leading owners has passed up the chances of winning from SIO,OOO to $25,000 to prepare his horses for the events which net the winner from *25,000 to $60.C00 during the summer. The winter races this year have drawn perhaps the cheapest fields in history. For instance, the Louisiana derby to be run today will find only a fair field competing. Miami’s derby did little better and a field of "selling platers” ran in the $25,000 Agua Callente derby. The possibilities for a 3-ycar-old m May, June, July and August seem to be the reasn for the lack of great horses in the w inter horses. That is much in contrast to former years. Greyola, a filly which won the Agua Caliente Derby and who was reported sold for $15,000 shortly before the race, may have Improved during last summer, but she was considered only a fair race horse on New York tracks last year. In the starters of the Louisiana D ft rby today may be found such names as General Jackson. Bad News Bob. Brother Rank and Michigan Boy, any one of which probably would enrich his owner more than the horse was worth if he won the SIO,OOO race. Michigan Boy does give promise of becoming a fairly good runner. Titus, the winner of the Miami Derby, has been called the best of the 3-year-olds on the winter tracks. But even he, as a 2-year-cld, was sold at auction last, year for something around $3,500.

Local Pugs Winners in Two Bouts Pickerel Outpoints Lungo; Cox Stops Castro in Second.

Lungo, a tall, willing mixer, did his best to make a scrap of it against Walter, who has won his last four bouts in k. o. fashion, and the Illinois mauler was awarded a round of cheer after staying the ten-round limit. Lungo was groggy as the bell ended the scrap and was down for two counts, a nine and two, in the closing round. He was down three times in the earlier rounds. The scrap was fast and demonstrated th£t Pickerd can keep up a steady bombardment of rights and lefts over the ten-round route. He also came through with some clever
