HIGH FOOT, GALLANT FOX PROBABLE DERBY FAVORITES

I HAD a letter from a fan the other day with a funny question. Here it is: “Why is it,” he wrote, "that the National League race is always so much closer and more interesting than the race in the American League?” The answer to that one is, “It isn't.” Over the years the American League has had just as

Babe Ruth Says

many close races and just as hot ones as the National. But it so happens that right now there’s better balance in the National League and the clubs are a little more evenly matched. I thought.

before the season started, that the American League race would be close. I still think so. But if we can tell anything from this first few weeks of play, the National League race will be more than close—it Will be a riot. And that's partly because of early disappointments and partly because of early surprises. The Cubs, whom every one picked to win the pennant, have been disappointing. And with reason. Losing Hornsby and Bell from the regular lineup was tough enough, but added to that is the fact that the Cub pitchers have been none too hot, either. Perhaps they'll come around a little later. You know you can’t tell much about pitching this early in the season.

The two big surprises to me have been Pittsburgh and the Giants. When the Pirates traded Grimes I figured their pennant chances were just about cut in two but instead they're up there fighting for the lead and holding down second place. Looks like Barney Dreyfuss made a ten strike when he grabbed Gus Suhr for first base. Suhr just about made that Pirate infield. As for the Giants, the way they’ve come through after a bad spring start just shows how a ball club can change overnight. I think what happened to the Giants is that they’ve suddenly found out that they could win ball games. Another National League club that I like is the Cardinals. On paper

Gabby Street doesn’t seem to have much. His pitchers are a bit weak, his outfield is only a little above average and his infield is uncertain. But out there on the ball field those Cardinals are likely to be tough. And the reason is that they're fighting every minute. I notice that a lot of the boys are picking Brooklyn to finish pretty well up this year. But I can’t see how the Dodgers can make that first division. I still like Cincinnati. Dan Howley is a wizard at getting the most out of his men and I figure that Heilman and Meusel will give the Reds the added punch they need to make a real fight of it.

With improved scoring, one would believe that all records for the state meet would be modern. However, the reverse is true in the ail-events plav. the record having been set by Lee Graff of Indianapolis in 1911 when he rolled 1.953. Frank Fornan of Ft. Wavne tied this mark in 1917. and Fonnie Snyder came within two Dins of anew mark last year when he hit for a total of 1.552. The veteran Larry Cobler of Indianapolis holds the all-time singles record with a huge 757 rolled in Terre Haute *..i 1924. C. Mortons’ 731 of 1927 is next in line. The doubles record is more modern, being made at the state meet here in 1928. However, two real veterans of the game. W. Cottom and D. Galleher of Muncie rolled this total. Both of these bowlers participated in the first state meet in 1910. The 1928 meet also produced the new team record, the Joe Long Five of Ft. Wavne rolling a total of 3.057. The former mark of 3,055 was held the Waters Recreation of South Bend. Larry Fox. member of the Marott team, failed to roll In the state meet. Larrv tried to catch a baseball with the tip of his bowling finger, and it didn’t work. The Pritchett Recreation alleys moved out to Washington Park. Thursday afternon to help Chuck Klein lift one out of the park. Pritchett. Jung. Roberson. Mallorv. Eller, and Fox were In the box directly in back of the Phillv dugout. And we almost forgot, Hardin and his no spit cigar also were present.

Both Colts Look Good to Experts Meyer and Sande Named as Jockeys for Classy Thoroughbreds. Bu United Press LOUISVILLE, May 2.—High Foot, the class of 3-year-olds in the middle west, and Gallant Fox, pride of the east, may go to the post equal favorites to win the fifty-sixth annual renewal of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, May 17. Gallant Fox has been looked upon as the most potential Derby victor, but High Foot has been backed heavily in the future books and if the steed completes his training without mishap it appears that he and the eastern animal will carry the bulk of wagers. High Foot, owned by Richard and Patrick Nash of Chicago, has not faced the barrier since February. During that month he started in three races at New Orleans and won two of them. Jockey C. Meyer, who rode the colt at New Orleans, will ride High Foot in the Derby. Earle Sande will ride Gallant Fox, the property of William Woodward of New York. The owners of High Foot pronounce their steed in fine condition. He worked a mile in 1:42 over a cuppy track recently. Turf romance is linked with High Foot, the son of Prince Palbelle Fair. He was purchased at auction for $5,000 by the Chicago men who chose him from a group of 1,000 yearlings on the breeding farms at Lexington. High Foot, also has been noiSinated for the $50,000 American Derby to be run at Washington Park June 15; the Arlington classic in July and the Hawthorne gold cup at Hawthorne course in October.

U. S .Golf Stars Lose to Britain Yankee V/omen Make No Attempt to Alibi; Drill for Tourney. Bu United Press LONDON, England, May 2. —Disappointed but not disheartened by 816 to 6% defeat by England in the first women’s international team match in history, Glenna Collett and her American golfing compatriots today opened a two-week practice preparatory to the British women’s tournament at Formby Golf Club, starting May 12. The American girls made no attempt to alibi their defeat, contenting themselves with the statement that “the better team won, and we’ll have to try to get revenge at Formby.” British papers, however, stressed the fact that the Americans had not become acclimated and lacked sufficient practice to enable them to win.

Six Rounders Arranged for Legion Boxing An interesting supporting card seems to be in the making for the Les Marriner-Jack League feature bout at the Armory Tuesday, the legion today announcing two sixrounders.

Harrison, constitutes the other sixrounder on Tuesday night’s fistic bill. Jack League will arrive in Indianapolis Sunday, while Marriner will not come until Monday afternoon. .
