DERBY ELIGIBLES BEGIN TESTS AT LEXINGTON

Kentucky Meet Gets Under Way Eight Jockeys, Ten Trainers Denied Licenses on Eve of Opening. Bn Bn LEXINGTON, Ky.. April 17. Kentucky Derby eligibles, beginning the first of a series of testers which lead up to the world's horse racing classic, were ready for their first races as 3-year-oids when Lexington opened its gates today. Interest from the Lexington competition today, however, was overshadowed by rulings made Wednesday night by the Kentucky state racing commission. Eight jockeys and ten trainers were denied licenses by the commission. Among the trainers was Boots Durnell, who at one time looked after the mounts In the stables of the king of Rumania. Durnell, as were the other nine men in his profession denied licenses, was listed by the commission as “an applicant unknown to the license commission whose petition requires further consideration.” Some of the best-known jockeys in the middle west were included in the list of eight riders who were denied licenses. The applications of seven other jockeys were tabled. The ruling of the Kentucky commission, it was reported, will be observed by the Illinois Turf Association, the Maryland Jockey Club and the Jockey Club of New York. Although most of the pre-season Derby favorites will not compete In the races today, it is in such events as the Phoenix hotel purse that outstanding horses of the past have been discovered almost on the eve of the Derby. Two Rookies Set to Step in for Mack Si/ S’EA Rrrrice PHILADELPHIA, April 17. Connie Mack is standing pat on his world championship ball team, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t looking around with a view to improvements and replacements. He has two infield rookies this year that look like big league ball players. One of them is Eric. McNair, 20. a shortstop; the other is Dibrel Williams, 19-year-old second baseman. Under Mack’s mentorship, these two young men, especially McNair, have a grand chance to become stars. Connie Mack knows that he has a good ball team, but it is not a great team in the sense of the word as used to describe the club he led in 1912. Foxx, at first, is a great ball player, and Jimmy Dykes at third is the equal of any third baseman in the league. But the opinion of Boley and Bishop as just a couple of bajl players is shared bv many others. McNair comes from Meridian in the Cotton States League, where he started in 1928. He was sold to Memphis and optioned to Knoxville, where he surprised all the folks’ by batting .391 to lead the Sally League. He fields and runs the bases well, and what is more important, has the fire of ambition to make good. Williams is a big boy, with a pair of shoulders built for triples. Last year at Little Rock he had his first year of professional baseball. He made nineteen three-base hits for Little Rock. He fields well, and though he weighs 175, gets around the paths in a lively way. GILL RESUMES DUTIES CHAMPAIGN. 111., April 17. Harry Gill, veteran University of Illinois track mentor, was back at his old job today following a vear's vacation. TRACK MEET SATURDAY Manual track team will oppose Guerstmeyer of Terre Haute and Washington in a triangular track meet at Washington field Saturday.

SHOWN above are two of the big reasons why the Philadelphia Athletics are favored to represent the American League in the w r orld series again this fall. Connie Mack, manager of the world champion Athletics, is shown shaking hands with A1 Simmons, his star slugger, just after Simmons’ salary dispute had been settled. Simmons had threatened to return to his home in Milwaukee if Mack did not accede to his demands. A few minutes after the above picture was snapped, Simmons ivalked to the plate for the first time in the opening game and lifted one of Pitcher Pipgras’ offerings out of the park.
