FIFTEEN COLTS MAY FACE DERBY BARRIER; 2 DOUBTFUL

Gallant Fox Against , Field Is Prospect for Rich Kentucky Classic Muddy Track Predicted and May Turn Event Into Open Race; Buckeye Poet, Breezing Thru and Tannery Gain Favor. BY FRANK GETTY I'llltl Press Sports Editor LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 16.—“GaUant Fox against the field. ’ That was the cry on all sides as the horde of turf enthusiasts swarmed into Louisville today from all sections of the country. With the fifty-sixth running cf the historic Kentucky Darby but twenty-four hours away, indications were that the ace of William Woodward’s racing establishment with the peerless Earl Sande in the saddle, would rule a tremendous favorite to lead home one of the smallest fields ever to face the barrier. Even though Gallant Fox failed to impress in his final workout at Churchill Downs, a great percentage of horsemen still insist he is the class of the race. Following the utter failure of many eligibles to show enough to warrant being started, the smallest band since “Bubbling Over” triumphed in 1926 will face Starter William Hamilton.

Thirteen 3-year-olds are practically certain of accepting the issue, with two more on the doubtful list. With the exception of not more than a half dozen the starting field does not boast anything out of the average run of horse flesh. Muddy Track Predicted. Hope of a fast track was shattered today by the weather bureau, which predicted rain tonight and Saturday. If mud prevails, as per the custom of recent Gallant Fox may lose favor, as the son of Sir Gallahad 111 evidently does not relish sticky footing, and the general consensus of opinion is that the race would be thrown wide open. The east and west half of Kentucky have rallied to the support of Gallant Fox, while the remainder of the bluegrass country is backing the E. R. Bradley entries, Buckeye Poet and Breezing Thru, and E. F. Pritchard’s Tannery. High Foot, until recently second choice for honors, probably will go to the post at juicy odds.

Crack Brigade showed a marked dislike for the Churchill Downs track Thursday when he worked the full Derby distance of a mile and a quarter in the unimpressive time of 2:153-5 driving. Kilkerry, main reliance of the Three D’s stock farm, Texas establishment of W. T. Waggoner & Sons, worked a mile and a quarter, and showed no signs of a rumored ailment. High Foot, Gallant Knight, Gallant Fox and others were brought out on the track for light gallops.

Vet Pilots Doped to Check Newcomers’ String of Wins New Drivers Have Triumphed in 500-Mile Speedway Classic Since 1925.

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS The string of victories piled up in the annual 500-mile international motor races on the Indianapolis Speedway by newcomers to the track may be broken this year by a veteran of the bricks. At least, that is the way many of the railbirds are figuring. In 1929 the cash and glory,was captured by the late Ray Keech, virtually new to the course. Keech made his first start here in 1928. In 1928, the honors were annexed by Louis Meyer, the quiet South Gate (Cal.), lad, who had driven here only once previously and then as a relief pilot. George Souders, unknown to the Indianapolis bricks, catapulted into fame in 1927 when he drove a consistent, grueling race to triumph. In 1926, the victory also was taken by an “unknown,” the late Frank Lockhart, who later mounted Speedom’s ladder of fame, rung by rung. Lockhart was an unknown exercise boy, his ability known only to the owners of Pete Kreis' car. When Kreis became ilir'Lockhart took the wheel and turned In the victory. The year previous to Lockhart’s victory, Peter De Paolo, youthful, but who had served a hardy apprenticeship as a— echanician and driver all over the A. A. A. circuit, had swept to v.'-tory in the record average of 101-plus miles an hour. Dave Evans paid a visit to the boys at the track Thursday, later leaving to get back to work on his car. •‘l’ve got plenty of work to do yet,” said Dave, “and I don’t think I’ll have my car on the track until late next week. It will be worth looking at then.” Lou Moore and his Coleman Special were on the bricks daring the day giving his shock absorbers some testing. Lou’s mount is painted white with the number fourteen on its tail. There are champion drivers, champion mechanics and champion

Numerous Dirt Track Drivers at Huntington 1 HUNTINGTON, Ind., May 16. Nineteen prominent dirt track drivers, the majority from Indiana, have entered the opening speed program at Huntington Sunday and a dozen more are expected to take the time trials Sunday morning. It is a half-mile modern track. Sunday afternoon there will be four races, including five-mile, eight-mile, fifteen-mile and twentymile events for total purse of $2,000. The banked track has been widened and otherwise improved. Out-of-state entries are from Dayton and Columbus (O.). Benton Harber (Mich.), Decatur (111.) and Chicago. Six Hoosier cities will be represented. VON PORAT, GAGNON SIGN BOSTON, May 15—Otto von Porat, Norwegian heavyweight, and Jack Gagnon, Boston French-Ca-nadian, have been matched for a ten-round bout at Chicago stadium on the night of May 28.

whatnots at the Speedway, and to top it all off is the champion news vendor. He’s Jimmy McManus, the veteran Times “hustler” who has ladled out copies of The Times to almost every race driver who ever has appeared at the track. Elimination of the supercharger came in for a barrage of antagonistic remarks at the annual dinner of the Indiana section of the Society of Automotive Engineers at the Clavpool. Thursday night. Louis Schwitzer and Fred S. Duesenberg stood on the firing line and branded the ban on superchargers an error. The two-man car came in for unfavorable comment from a few prominent drivft-s. principally because of the adidtional imperilling of Jives. Theodore E. (Pop) Myers, vicepresident and general manager of the speedway, made the principal speech of the evening, dwelling on the construction features of cars in the coming 500-mile race and outlined the history of the Speedway. Twenty additional subscriptions to the lap prize fund brought the total to eighty laps, it was announced today by R. C. Rottger chairman of the committee. Edsel Ford authorized five laps for the Ford Motor Company.

CAS EY BEFORE JUDGE B.u Times Snerial CHICAGO, May 16. Casey Stengel is battling for his job as manager of the Toledo A. A. club and the decision apparently rests wph Judge Landis. There was a secret conference held in the baseball commissioner’s office Thursday and Landis played the role of listener while Stengel, umpire Rue of the A. A. staff and President Hickey of the A. A. unwound arguments. Hickey suspended Stengel indefinitely as a result of a run-in Stengel had with Rue last month.

Bob Tinder

THEY tip the lid with a brass band at Anderson. For the world to dispute, we offer the question, “Did any golf club ever open its season with a brass band on the program?” Bob Tinder, who does the pro duties at the Anderson Country Club, says next Sunday will be a gala day at the Grandview municipal links in Anderson, where Bob’s brother Bill is the pro. Asa special attraction to the course members and playei-s, a match has been arranged between the Tinder brothers, Bill and Bob, and Neal Mclntyre, pro at Highland, and Ralph Stonehouse, pro at Coffin municipal links here. It probably will be a best ball affair. Bill and Bob are both Indianapolis boys, having gained their golf knowledge from the ground up carrying clubs around the Riverside courses several years ago. u u Mclntyre placed Indianapolis on the map last winter while playing in California and southern championships, Anderson fans remember that final day of the state open last summer at Grandview. Mclntyre, Ralph Stonehouse. and George Lance, state amateur champion, were in a deadlock the entire final thir-ty-six holes, “Mac” squeezing out a victory in the last couple of holes. As an exhibilton, one could not have been arranged any more attractive.. No doubt several Indianapolis folks will travel over to watch the free affair. The Tinders say, however, that the brass band will confine its activities to the clubhouse. Quietude as usual will prevall during the putting.

Sarah Bhank Club will hold its second meeting tonight at 8 in the course clubhouse. Manager Joe Quigley requests that players wishing to join the club and enter the blind par tournament next Sunday be in attendance.

He has called a meeting for next Tuesday afternoon at 5 in the clubhouse, giving working girls who play his links a chance to attend.
