Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

Miami beach. Fia., Feb. 21. The campaign to make this •late the center of winter racing is Hot wholly general interest. A few days ago the Turf Writers' Association gave its annual dinner In honor of the racing officials and at this dinner were a number of interesting and influential persons, possessing, of epurse, that one quality which directly breeds interest and influence, namely, plenty of that old sugar. B tt tt The firkt speaker wax Joseph Widener, tbo foremost turfman In the country, a gentleman to whom fast hoiKt are just a* much a mental relaxation as crashing gates Is to Onc-Eved Connolly. Widener I* a tall, long faced gentleman, sparse of hair, precise In speech and regal as to manner. Widener heads the socially important group which controls racing In the Miami region and he spok- at some length on his plana, If, and when the state legislature formally approves an acceptable form of betting. B n tt Among other things AVkienw pointed out Is that he and his associates are interested in racing strictly as specialists In breeding and as fun loving sportsmen who like to sec the hesses gallop arenmd the track. But unfortunately It appears that thi: fine sort of interest isn’t sufficient to keep the racing business In a healthy t-te and that some definite means of wagering must be effected before a promoter. whether he be a professional or a millionaire sportsman, can be persuaded to make extensive Investments. tt B B While i trust this will not destroy anybody’s illusions about the sport of kings, it appears more or less obvious that the improvement of tbo breed depends chiefly on whether the two-dollar bettor can get any action for his dough. Widener also stated he was in position to know that the legislature is kindly disposed to the proposition of legalizing betting, B tt tt At the speaker’s tabic were several other gentlemen whose names appear in various social ledgers along wUh their civic, accomplishments, the number of clubs they are members of and the ds.tes of their college graduation, these chastely assembled facts serving to remind the bourgeofse that to historians at least the Improvement of the human breed also Is • matter of some importance tt B tt One of these gentlemen whp nodded essent to Wldenff's remarks was an able I, cion of a family which rose to afflue re mo social distinction in the count;through its cxpertrirss in perfecting' and dlrtriputlnv before the VolMeadipn era a 'ery excei.ent grade of bourbon whisky. I' l-oni time to time oo my. trips hich occasionally carry me into speakc!i...ies I still tec bottle* bearing the labels t>f this particular beverage. I know ot course that t.iese are* &jmrjous and that the labels are merely the work of a vandalizing counterfaitor. 4 tt B tt WIDENER does not control all the racing in Florida. Some several hundred miles up the line there is another track called St. Johns. It basjes languorously amid Ihe palms about half way between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. This track is controlled by William Dwyer tt B tt Now you wouldn't call Dwyer a blue Mood. There Un't much about him that suggests drawing room. As he sat at the turf writers’ dinner fiddling around with * fork while Widener spoke, he looked unimportant and a bit ill at ease. I suppose this Is because tlv: Bill Dwyers and the Josoph VUdencrs are not seen together much. Dwyer doesn't go In much for social carrying-on. Th fact Is hr is something of a mystery. tt tt tt At Intervals you read In newspapers where some municipal scow Is taken In tow by the coast guard, a big liquor seizure Is made and the raiders suspect the cargo was consigned to a Mr. William Dw yer. You hear things that make you sure%that if Dwyer had been operating bacK in the old days he would have been a very important and respectable citizen, most likely a civic leader.

JAMESTOWN MISSING FROM DERBY NOMINATIONS

130 Stars Named for Kentucky Turf Event G. D. Widener Not to Start Juvenile Star in Blue Grass Classic: Equipoise, Top Money Winner, Favorite in Future Books, Tops List. BY' THOMAS H. NOONE United Press Racing Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—With the notable exception of George D. Widener’s Jamestown, all of last year's candidates for the juvenile turf crown are-among the 130 3-year-olds nominated for the fifty-seventh running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 16. Foremost of thss candidates is C. V. Whitney's Equipoise, winner of eight races and $156,835 last year, and favorite in the future-book speculation at odds of 6 to 1. After a heavy campaign, this great son of Pennant and swinging climaxed his juvenile career with a superb performance in the Pimlico Futurity which entitles him to be the favorite for the Blue Grass classic. This raoe also enabled him to top Jamestown as the leading money winner of the year among the 2-year-olds.

G. D. Widener, ownet of Jamestown, gave no reason for not nominating his star. Widener makes a practice of retiring his 2-year-olds after the Belmont Futurity each year, which he did with Jamestown last fall. He does nto believe in strenuous campaigning with his horses as early in the spring as the Derby. The Belair Stud, whose Gallant Fox won the event last year, has named five thoroughbreds to contest for the prize of $50,000 added, as have the Greentree Stable of Mrs. Payne Whitney and the Cagamore Stable. M. L. Schwartz has nominated four. Only four fillies are listed as possible starters in the gruelling mile and a quarter test. None of these fillies enjoyed any marked success last year and it is unlikely that any of them will answer the call of the bugle on Derby day. Prominent among the leaders are Twenty Grand and Surf Board which are the top notchers in the Greentree Stable. Mrs. Payne Whitney has named five colts to bear her siiks and Twenty Grand is certain to attract considerable attention in the winter books. The unbeaten Vander Pool, son of Campfire—Bramble Rose, conqueror of Equipoise through a disqualification, is the sole representative of the Tennessee stable, owned by M. P. Allen. A. C. Bostwich is represented by Mate, another with an imposing record as a 2-year-old. Insco, half brother to Gallant Fox, has been named by Griffin Watkins. Kentuckians will place their hopes on this homebred which won four of his seven starts as a 2-year-old.

Billy Arnold Will Return to Defend Speedway Crown

Billy Arnold, youthful American speedway champion and winner of the 1930 500-mile race, will defend his title in the International event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, it was announced today. Harry Hartz, owner of the car which Arnold drove to victory here last year and which the boy speed star will pilot again in the coming race, had this to say: “The machine will be faster this year. You’ll recall it was a front wheel drive car which won in 1930—the first 500mile race victory for this type of car—and we were only sixty-five hundredths of a mile an hour

since I’ve been with the Cubs and that’s where I want to keep on playing. Os course, if Manager Hornsby wants to change me I’ll be a good soldier, but I’ll just have to start all over again. I hope to stay in center field where I have learned how to play all the hitters in the National League.” HORNSBY WORKS OUT By United Press AVALON, Santa Catalina Island, Cal., Feb. 21.—Chicago Cute'looked forward today to a strengthened infield with Manager Rogers Hornsby performing in old-time form at second base in practice. After a twenty-minute workout in which he showed no distress from the broken ankle or injured heel that kept him out of the lineup most of last year, Hornsby said he felt “perfectly normal.”

Arnold and Hartz made a great winning combination last may. Hartz remained in the pits and directed the campaign of the courageous Arnold who went sweeping through the field as the race progressed.

Women Pin Stars Carded for Week-End of Action

BY LEFTY LEE Two twelve-team squads will take the drives tonight at the Pritchett alleys to bring to a close the team competition in the women’s central states bowling meet. The best Indianapolis has to offer will be on the local Schussler Packing Company team, made up of city champion performers. Other leading city fives also will roll. Out-of-town teams scheduled to compete include quintets from Ft. Wayne, Columbus, O.; Middletown, O.; Sandusky, O.; Dayton, 0., and Cleveland. High class entertainment is promised the railbirds all along the line. Tonight’s second squad will roll at 9:15. On Sunday the big central states event will be concluded with doubles and singles, and sensational shooting appears to be on the books of

forth with Birmingham. He is a Kentuckian and the Colonels won in the bid for his services. Mel hit .340 In 1929 and .371 last year. He was lead-off man for Louisville and that’s where Manager Bush probably will use him a a a JOHNNY CORRIDEN. Hoosier pilot, was consulted by Bush before the Simons deal was made, and the Tribe manager urged Ownie to make the buy. Mel hit to all fields and, unlike most left-handed batters, he often lined the sphere to left territory. Clarence Hoffman, former Indian, who will succeed Simons in center for the Colonels, is weak on ground balls and the Louisville pasture is bad terrain. Hoffman is a good hitter, however. a a a Now that the St. Louis Cardinals have obtained controlling interest in the Columbus A. A. franchise, it’s a good guess the night lights wiU be instaUcd in the Buckeye park. Owner Breadon of the Cardinals at one time last year talked of requesting permission of the National League for a night big league experiment in St. Louis. Branch Rickey told newspaper men at Columbus anew and modern park might greet Senator fans in 1933. a a a Heavyweight wrestlers, with Jim Londos one of the principals, drew a $15,000 gate in Chicago the other night, and the burly grapplers kept a crowd of 9,000 in an uproar. The mat game has been re-established in the Windy City and New York and the matmen are reciprocating by supplying action. Ice hockey and wrestling, roughest of the indoor sports, are packing ’em in. ana Well, at any rate, it outs money in circulation. Chicago already has three hockey trams and is thinking of adding a fourth. New wrinkles have been introduced by the wrestlers and even if they are not always leveling, they keep in shape and risk injury to please the customers. a a a One Chicago paper devoted three and one-half columns to the Londos feature and explained it was worth It from the standpoint of action, entertainment, excitement, showmanship and crowd interest. You can guess from that how expertly the, matmen are being coached and trained tCi take the bumps as they find them. ENTER BIKE GRIND By United Press NEW YORK.
