Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

lOUISVILLE. May 14.—A1l 1 / know about the race track is what people tell me and what I dream. So when I come here and mingle with the experts and hear them say in one breath that the best hoss in the derby field is Gallant Fox and that he ought to win going away, and in the next hear them say that he can't win because infrequently no really good hoss wins the derby -well. I suppose I should not be bewildered or surprised, because racing folk are strange critters. a a At any rale that in the dope her*, or at least It is the dope you hrar around the barn* in the forenoon hour* when the groom*. the swipe* and the assistant trainers sit hunrbed up against the stables in the lary spring sunshine and watch the lierby candidates out on the track tightening up for Saturday’s race. ana THE TRADITION THAT THE DERBY SELDOM GOES TO THE BEST HOS3 DATES BACK TO THE VERY FIRST DERBY EVER RUN HERE. THIS WAS WAY BACK IN THE 70S. A LITTLE RED STEED NAMED ARISTIDES WAS DROPPED IN THE FIELD MERELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF WEARING OUT OPPONENTS BY FORCING A DIZZY PACE SO THAT HIS STABLE-MATE. CHESAPEAKE. COULD WIN. van LIKE a gallant soldier Aristides obeyed instructions whirling off a mile at a heart-tearing pace. Then, when Chesapeake was supposed to come to the front and take the pace. Jockey Lewis looked around and discovered that worthy colt far in the rear. The owner of both colts, One Price McGrath, was standing near the head of the stretch. He waved Aristides on. a a a It had been a fearful pace and the little red colt had forced it all the way. But the legend is that he kept going. fighting with every bite of the whip, plunking blindly onward on sheer pluck, ultimately to win hy a scant half head. Nobody had figured him an important factor at any time, not even his master. a a a IT IS THE RULE RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION THAT DRAMA OF THIS SORT IS DEVELOPED IN THE DERBY. FOR TWENTY-SIX YEARS THE DERBYCOURSE WAS A MILE AND A HALF LONG. THE FASTEST TIME FOR THAT DISTANCE WAS MADE BY A COLT NAMED SPOKANE. 2.34'2. IN 1889. HE WAS JUST AS MUCH AN OUTSIDER AS WAS ARISTIDES. IN HIS RECORDBREAKING VICTORY HE BEAT PROCTOR KNOTT BLAZED-FACE GELDING THAT CARRIED ALL THE MONEY. a a v APOLLO and Day Star, two winners of another generation, came to the Derby practically ignored by the form players. Neither had been a success as a 2-year-old In more recent times Sir Barton, with a record of never having won a race, stepped out to win the most historic race on the American turf. a a a Also there is the classic instance of Exterminator in 1918. a frowned-on outsider, bought a few days befor" the race as an exercise companion for Sun Briar. Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s favorite, and entered at the last moment when Sun Briar became indisposed. Exterminator's victory in the Derby was the beginning of one of the most notable racing careers in the history of the sport. a a a SUPPORTING FURTHER THE TRADITION THAT THE GOOD HOSS IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD ENOUGH ON DERBY DAY IS THE STORY OF DONERAIL. A SUPPOSEDLY INFERIOR COLT THAT WAS STARTED FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE THAN TO PLEASE HIS OWNER'S VANITY: HE WANTED TO HAVE A DERBY STARTER. DONERAIL WON THE RACE. PAYING $134.80 to $2. A RECORD PRICE FOR THE SOUTHERN CLASSIC. a a a AND there are numerous other instances similar in nature which seem to argue that when bigger and more bewildering upsets are made they will be made over that historic strip of turf that is known as Churchill Downs. a a a •o mavbe when the bovs around thbarns tell you th3t Gallant Fox is a good Jss. hut that he isn’t good enough to beat k tradition that goes bark to IR">. they e".y be telling vou something that is more important than all the done you can get from the dockers, the stud book and the form charts.

COLLETT NOSES OUT BRITISH ACE IN LONG TILT

Two Yank Stars Left in Tourney Molly GourJay Loses to U. S. Champ in 21-Hole Match. FI a United Press FORMBY, England, May 14. American women soored additional victories in the British golf championship today, but found their English cousins the most worthy sort of foemen. Miss Hicks reached the sixth round and Glenna Collett reached the fifth. Other Americans were eliminated in the fourth and fifth rounds. In one of the hardest and closest matches of her career, Miss Glenna Collett of New York, United States women’s champion and captain of the invading team, won over Miss Molly Gourlay, British ace and captain, one up on the twenty-first green. Last week. Miss Gourlay defeated the American in both singles and doubles. Miss Collett rode her brassie to victory. It was with this tricky club that she scored most of her won and halved holes. Miss Gourlay’s performance on the tvent-first and deciding hole was heart-breaking to herself and to the 4.000 spectators. She started out by drive into a bunker. She was well short on her second shot and then overran the green on her third shot. She dubbed a pitch and run and then putted short. Molly picked up her ball and conceded the hole and match to Glenna. Virginia Van Wie of Chicago was Virginia Van Wie of Chicago was the first of the “big four” of the United States women to be eliminated. She lost to Miss Kathleen MacDonald, one down on the nineteenth green. Miss Helen Hicks continued her powerful driving to defeat Mrs. Percy Garon of Great Britain, one up in nineteen holes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

29 Hurlers Pounded in Seven Tilts 157 Hits, Including 11 Homers, 5 Triples, 33 Doubles, Given. Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 14.—Although it is agreed that the “rabbit ball” is no more lively than in the past, the scarcity of pitchers capable of working an entire nine-inning game continues to be the chief problem for major league managers. Tuesday, twenty-nine pitchers worked in the seven major league games, allowing ninety-seven runs and 157 hits, including eleven home runs, five triples and thirty-three doubles. Four teams used three pitchers each, four others were forced to call upon two each and one team needed four moundsmen. The Philadelphia Athletics outslugged the Chicago White Sox, 14 to 7, and increased their American League lead to one and one-half games. Each team used three pitchers. Ray Benge allowed Pittsburgh thirteen hits, but pitched the entire game and won, 14 to 8, when the Phillies drubbed four twirlers for eighteen safeties. Indians Start Early Cleveland’s Indians piled up eleven runs in the first three innings to defeat the Washington Senators, 11 to 6. Lefty Miller was unable to protect his big lead, allowing the Senators five runs in the third. Harder held Washington to one hit. The Chicago Cubs gave Pat Malone an eight-run lead over the Boston Braves, but he gave way to Hal Carlson, who stopped the rally, the Cubs winning 9 to 8. The New Yok Giants lost to St. Louis, 6 to 4. Walker allowed the Cards only ten hits, but half of them were doubles and one a home run. Hoyt’s Performance Best Waite Hoyt turned in the best pitching performance of the day, holding the St. Louis Browns to five hits and giving the New York Yankees a 4-to-l victory. Arthur Herring, Detroit rookie, outpitched Jack Russell of the Red Sox and the Tigers won, 4 to 1. It was the only game of the day in which both starting pitchers completed the contest. Hack Wilson of the Cubs took the major league home run leadership with nine and Chuck Klein hit his eighth to move into second place.

Fear Hornsby , Lloyd Waner Lost to Game

NEW YORK, May 14.—Two of the National League’s brightest stars —Rogers Hornsby of the Cubs and Lloyd Waner of the Pirates—may be lost to baseball.

Hornsby has been troubled by a troublesome growth on his heel, and it is reported that physicians have urged him to give up playing for the rest of the season. Several operations have failed to aid the big slugger and he already has admitted to intimate friends that the heel will keep him out of many games, if not for all time. Waner was stricken with appendicitis early this year and has not yet recovered from the effects of the operation. For the last two weeks he has been confined to a Baltimore hospital, and it is possible that he may have to retire permanently. Waner’s case is surrounded by great secrecy. Club officials insist that Lloyd will be in shape for active duty by Memorial day. but most of his Pirate teammates do not expect him to get back in the lineup this season.

Waner

The youthful star is regarded as one of the finest ball players ever seen in the major leagues. He joined the Pirates in 1927 and in three

♦ Shooting Par ♦

cpHE question of giving the amateurs who desire to play in the weekly pro-amateur meets a better chance to win came in for an airing after the last Monday affair at Highland. Anew system will be tried next Monday. If successful, it will become a permanent program. If two amateur players wish to enter as a team and count their best ball score, they will be accorded a handicap allowance, the regular handicap which each player holds at his club being used as a gauge. If their combined handicap totals between 1 and 5 they will be allowed to deduct one stroke from their best ball score. Those with between five and ten total will deduct two strokes; ten to fifteen, three strokes, and fifteen to twenty, a four-stroke handicap. Those players whose handicaps total more than twenty will be allowed five. a a a There are a bunch of amateurs at Highland who can shoot scores that will make t: e pros hustle. Mclntyre said that last Sunday, Doc Gant and Jack Tuitte hung up a best ball score of 68. A onestroke handicap would have cut that to 67. Mclntyre and Joe Stout won the Monday pro-amateur with a 69. But Jack Tuitte insisted that those 68s are hard to get and are not usual performances. o tt tt Still tbe amateurs feel that ail the pros are not consistent in good golf scores, and they rather would trust their chances to another amateur and get the benefit of a handicap inasmuch as all of them can not compete with the better players. tt tt tt THE opening at Broadmoor was a big affair and the inclement weather had little effect on thetumeut. Forty players were divided into two teams of twenty each, led by W. R. Borinstein and Harry Goldstein. The Borinstein team hung up an impressive victory, according to George Soutar, who said that the average of victory was two points to the man. Incidentally, the winners ate dinner at the expense of the losers and Soutar said that was where he figured in with the winners. Fred Meyers captured low gross honors with a 78. tt tt a Blind par tournaments are popular, but those we have heard of have been for individual players.

Payne Sold THE Indians today sold pitcher George Payne to Houston of the Texas League. It was an outright sale and according to Secretary Clauer lines are out to obtain another hurler to hold the Tribe mound staff. Slow to round to form, Payne was of little assistance to Manager Corriaen until Monday at Kansas City, when he pitched well enough although the Indians lost. The Texas hot weather is expected to help the veteran. With Wichita Falls last year Payne won twentyeight games against only twelve defeats.

Errors Cost I. U. Nine Win By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 14. Eight errors, five of them by Banka, substitute shortstop, proved costly here Tuesday, and Indiana’s baseball team was defeated by Purdue, 7 to 5. Veller, Crimson southpaw star, was in top form. He struck out six men and allowed but six hits.. Cox, Boilermaker hurler, was touched for eleven singles. Burroughs, regular Crimson shortfielder, was out with an injury.

Ten Blows Not Enough for Indians Blues Make It Two in Row; Warstler Poles Three Doubles. By Times Special KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 14. Two more games, including today’s contest, remain for the Indians in Kansas City and the Corriden pastimers won’t be sorry when they leave these parts. The Tribesmen couldn't get going again Tuesday and the Blues made it two in a row. The score was 8 to 4, with the home nine collecting thirteen hits to ten for the Hoosiers. Tom Sheehan was knocked out by the visitors and George Murray went in during the fifth round and little was done off his delivery. Mike Cvengros went the full distance for the losers. .From the Tribe standpoint the hitting of Warstler and Barnhart featured. The Rabbit poled three doubles and also sparkled in the field, and Barney batted in three runs, with two singles. Norman McMillan was the Kansas City star with two doubles and a Single. The Indians had a bad day with the umpires, and in the second inning Joe Sprinz and Dutch Hoffman were banished from the game and Claude Jonnard was chased off the bench. The Tribesmen tied the score in the third round and again in the fifth, but the Blues refused to crack and went ahead to win. The Indians had nine runners left stranded and the Blues only four. Two extra base hits were walloped by the local hurlers, Sheehan getting a double and Murray a triple. After hitting safely in fifteen consecutive frames. Bloxsom of the Milwaukee Brewers was stooped Tuesday bv Rov Wilkinson of the Louisville Colonels, who won. 3 to 2. It was Milwaukee's eleventh straight defeat. The road trip has failed to make any difference to the Colonels and Allan Sothoron’s team evidently has the western clubs bettered in class. There is sure to be a packed park in Louisville Sunday when the Indians battle the Kentuckians in a double-header. BLAEHOLDER TO STAY By United Press NEW YORK, May 14.—George Blaeholder, holdout pitcher, has signed his 1930 contract and will be ready to start a game within five days, Manager Bill Killefer of the St. Louis Browns said today.

to the celebrated Willie Keeler of the old Baltimore Orioles. Waner is 24, 5 feet 714 inches tall and weighs 148 pounds. Hornsby is a veteran of fifteen years’ major league service and one of the greatest hitters. He led the league in hitting on seven occasions and has compiled a life time batting average of .363. He created a National League record for home runs in 1922 with forty-two, established anew modern league batting record of .423 in 1924, and twice has been voted the league’s most valuable player. After eleven years’ service with St. Louis he was appointed manager of the team and guided his club to a National League pennant and the world championship. Since then he has played one season each with the Giants, Braves and Cubs, being sold to the Cubs for $206,000 and five players—the highest price ever paid for a major league player.

Hornsby was credited with supplying the punch that carried the Cubs to the National League championship in 1929.

Gleason to Drive in Motor Classic Despite Late Entry Combination of ‘Breaks’ Allows Philadelphian to Compete; Rain Hinders Practice Spins Tuesday.

BY NORMAN E. ISAAC’S Jimmy Gleason, the heavy-footed and popular speedster from Philadelphia, will be at the wheel of a gasoline chariot in the Indianapolis “Five Hundred” on May 30, despite the fact hLs entry was filed just a few minutes too late. A combination of “breaks” put Jimmy in a peculiar and embarrassing spot. Jimmy, true to the superstitions of the speed sport, was anxious to be the last entrant in the classic and gave his entry to a hotel clerk in Philadelphia shortly after 10 o’clock on the evening the entries closed. In some way, Gleason’s telegram

of rights and lefts to the head. Red Holloway’s low blow in the sixth round gave Glen Nidy, Terre Haute welterweight, a victory in the second scheduled eight-rounder. The local red-head took an early lead but Nidy was coming back strong when the unintentional but unquestionable foul ended the scrap. Scotty Scotten and Joe Lynn, local featherweights, put up the best battle on the card, with Lynn’s infighting gaining him the verdict against Scotten’s harder punches and clever boxing. Both boys put in some hard wallops and they mixed freely at close range. Joe Napolitana, Kokomo bantam, shaded Roy Woods, Indianapolis, in six rounds and Woody Birtch gained a slight edge over Jimmy Reynolds of Ft. Harrison in four. Battling Bozo won the battle royal among five Negroes. Next week’s show will include three eight-rounders, one bringing together Otto Atterson of Terre Haute and Willie Erne of Kansas City.

Hopes for Kentucky Win Go Up Uncle Luther and Ned 0 Show Promise on Muddy Track. Bu United Press LOUISVILLE. Ky„ May 14.—Impressive mud-running performances by two Kentucky horses today gave Bluegrass track devotees renewed hopes of a “home bred” victory in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. With Gallant Fox, Preakness winner. as the logical favorite, a heavy track may enable practiced mud runners to crowd the favorite as he has yet to prove himself on a muddy track. Shortly before a downpour of rain muddied the track Tuesday Gallant Fox gajlopod an easy two miles, showing no ill effects of his trip from Baltimore. He was to be sent along more seriously in his first test today. Luther Stiver's Uncle Luther turned in Tuesday’s feature performance, winning the one-mile Derby test from six other eligibles in 1:414-5. Ned 0., favorite of the trial run, was never extended and finished second by a length and a half. Colonel E. R. Bradley's Breezing Thru, Louisville’s favorite, was sent the full Derby distance and covered the route in 2:11 4-5.

The Reed and Mulligan Company had paid its entry fee but had sold its car to Dave Evans, who, in turn, had paid his own fee in entering the auto. That left forty-five cars entered in the race with forty-six entries paid for. Up stepped the Waverly Oil Company, for whom Gleason will drive, and bought the Reed and Mulligan entry fee. In other words, there now are forty-six entries and forty-six cars. Gleason will drive. You can bet what you will that James will be in there on May 30. Old Man Fiuvlus. unaccommodating as usual, put the damper on activity at the Speedway Tuesday. Rain sprinkling from leaden skies kept the boys in their garages most of the afternoon. The Slade Special, an almost stock Chrysler 72. made its appearance at the track Tuesday, but was kept off the bricks bv the showers. The eight-cvlindcred Maserati of Letterio Cucinatto, one of the two Italian drivers, also put in an appearance. The sound movie lads were to make an appearance at the track this afternoon and half a dozen of the speed pilots were expected orb the bricks to help out the “squawkies.” When the racing motors record their impressions on the sound apparatus it will be a “barkie.” There are eight Duesenhcrgs in this year's event. Two have been entered by Augie Ducscnbcrg, one to be piloted hy Elbert (Babe) Stapp.. The other driver still is to be named. Two have been entered by Pete Dc Paolo.
