Talking It Over BY lOE WILLIAMS
New YORK, April s—The boys are still sending it in on Top Flight, "Inter book favorite to win the Kentucky Derby, though not with the steady enthusiasm that marked their investment in Twenty Grand a year ago or Gallant Fox the year before. You see, Top Flight is a filly and there is a feeling among horsemen that fillies don’t get very far in their early races as 3 year olds. As a general thing they don’t develop in stature or vitality as fast as colts. At the age of 2, there isn’t much difference physically between colts and fillies, but at 3 the difference is frequently marked. Another (actor that kwps the bovs in a hesitant mood Is that omv one fnlv has ev’er won the Derbv. and the Droiessionai old timer will tell vou Regret, (he 1915 winner. didn't have anvbodv to beat, which is what thev always sav. They said It about Tunnev. Flagnole Kelly and Hoover. X suspect that one reason we do not have more women in Congress is that more ot them do not trv to get there, and oerhaos vou can not blame them considering one thing and another. Similarly, the nresence o( only one sub deb among ail the Derbv winners In history mav be explained bv the (act that onlv a proportionately small percentage ot the starters have been fillies. * For the most part the women folk have preferred, or hern forced to remain in the barns washing dishes and sewing on buttons while the swaggering males went to town to do their sillv stuff, generally winding un under the table at. the town club in a v *rv comatose and unappetizing condition. n n a Mr. chattering clem M’CARTHY, the turf broadcaster, furnishes me with some data which tends to show that just because Top Flight is a gal it should not necessarily follow that she will not win the Derby. “How many fillies that were the best 2-year-olds of their time ever ran in the Derby?” asks Mr. McCarthy. ‘‘Also how many fillies ran in all the Derbies up to now?” This is soft, indeed. Mr. McCarthy not oniv asks questions but answers them, n you'll pardon me lor a moment i'll driu back, to the kitchen and shake up a mnk punch while our guest artist sounds olf. "A total of 535 thoroughbreds have gone to the post in the ttftv-seven runnings oi the Derby’’ says Mr. McCarthy. And. get this, onlv eighteen of them were fillie . l;ess than 3'i per cent. (The man dors fractions, too.l The race hasn't averaged a fillv under colors every three year... “And now: Plenty of the best colts oi their year have run in the Derby, but how many of them came bounding down in front? Regret was the onlv flllv that was conclusively the best 2-year-okl oi her time ever to start in the Derbv and she won. "Prudery was the nearest approach to a Regret in her ability to boat the. col's at two. but bho didn't beat them all. She failed dismally in a Futurity which Tod Flight would have won with ease. Even so. Prudery ran third in the Derbv and beat both the crack unbeaten colts of her luvenile year. Trvster and Leonardo 11. "Os the eighteen fillies that started in the various derbvs. one was first, one second and five third. Onlv one of the fillies that ran had a 2-vear-old record comparable with Ton Flight's. That was Regret. and she did not win half as manv races as Top Flight, nor did she race as far. tt tt n “TT seems reasonable to accept Top A Flight as one of the best fillies ever to train for the Derby. The fact that she is a filly shouldn’t be held against her. The records show that a filly can step right along with any colt, provided she has racing class. If Top Flight comes up to the Derby in sound shape she’ll be the one they’ll have to beat.” Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Ladies and gentlemen of the great unseen audience, you have just listened to Colonel Snoopnagle, left fielder of the Brooklyn ball club who spoke to you on the far eastern situation and its effect on the psychic bid. Personally, all I know about Ton Flight is that there was nobody last year that could beat her home. In this respect she was strictly a home girl. She started seven times and was first seven times. What more could vou ask of a young lady? What more would any gentleman ask? When the season ended. Too Flight had won $219,000. an all time, record for her sex. not even barring Peggy Joyce, and it should be remembered that Peggy, as a 2-vear-old. wasn't in the money at all. Bv the time Ton Flight is as old as Peggy, she'll own the mint. .... Onlv once was Top Flight, crowded last rear. That was in the Pimlico futurity when she ran her longest, race to date, a mile and a sixteenth. Up to that race the exnerts had questioned two qualities in Sonny Whttnev's fillv: Hi Could she go a distance? And (2> was she same? The answer was a ringing "ves on both C °Turnine into the stretch the Lama St able's Tick On. a brash young male, came un to make a fight of it. Over the last two furlongs it was neck and neck—a turf phrase not to be confused with necking nleasr. Os course the little ladv won and in winning she smashed the futurity record thereby demonstrating that she not on!” has stamina and courage but speed as WPll.

DIAMOND ‘GREATS’ TO PERFORM HERE WEDNESDAY
Ruth, Gehrig and Other Yankees in Exhibition Indians Tackle Toronto Again Today Before Facing Big Leaguers; John Berly Delivers Three-Hit Victory Against Leafs Monday, Going Full Route. BY EDDIE ASH Timea Snort, Editor Following: the fourth and last exhibition tilt with the Toronto Internationals at Perry stadium this afternoon at 2:30, the Indians of Emmet McCann next will tackle the New York Yankees. The struggle with the big leaguers will be staged Wednesday and will see baseball royalty on parade. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, the home run twins, and other famous stars will perform in the New York lineup and the contest will mark the close of a three-game spring series between the teams. Tribe and Yankees split even in a two-set match in Florida and the Hoosiers are eager to capture the final battle. On the other hand Joe McCarthy, New York pilot, doubtless wiil keep his regulars in action the full distance for he does not relish a defeat by a minor league c'ub. Ernie Wingard, lanky southpaw, is expected to receive the Tribe starting assignment on the mound.
Coast League Race Starts By Time* Special SAN FRANCISCO, April s.—Eight Pacific Coast League clubs opened the 1932 pennant battle today. San Francisco’s Seals, 1931 champions, battled the Seattle Indians here in the lid-lifter minus the services of many of last year’s stars. The Seals f&ce a hard battle to retain their laurels. Portland, the most improved club in the circuit, is ranked as a strong contender. The Beavers opened against Los Angeles. Hollywood, 1931 runnerup, invades Oakland, while the San Francisco Missions journey to Sacramento. Due to poor attendance at exhibition tilts, most of the coast league clubs are planning to turn to night baseball soon.

The Yankees knocked off the Colonels in Louisville Monday, 9 to 6, before a crowd of 6,500. The Big Bam batted in three runs with a single and double and Joe McCarthy, former Colonel chief, was entertained in a big way by his old friends in Derbytown. Two Rookie Phenoms Included in the lineup of the Yanks here Wednesday will be Ben Chapman, base stealing king, and the two rookie gems of spring under the McCarthy banner, Frank Crosetti, sensational shortstop, from the coast, and Jack Saltzgaver, second sacker, the St. Paul lad who gave the Indians many headaches during the 1931 American Association campaign. Manager McCann’s Tribesmen made it two out of three with Toronto Monday as John Berly turned in a brilliant display of hurling on (he home firing line. The score was 4 to 2 and the fracas went to the s'::th inning before the plate was crcxred. Berly gave up only three hit:, but showed a little wildness at times. Two Doubles for McCann Berly worked the entire game and is the second Tribe flinger to produce over the nine-inning route, Archie Campbell having preceded him with two complete assignments. Manager McCann walloped two doubles and delivered in fancy style in the field. Sammy Hale, the veteran at third, also tickled the Indian chiefs by collecting two safeties, one for two cushions. Toronto scored in the sixth after one down. Sax walked and chalked up a marker when Fitzgerald missed Davis’ drive in right center after a hard run. It was a tough chance. In the Tribe sixth McCann was struck by a pitched ball, Purdy singled, Hale doubled, scoring McCann, and Purdy registered oh Fitzgerald’s long fly. A single by Rosenberg brought in Hale. Both Score in Eighth In the eighth Sax walked after one out, Davis flied out and Doljack scored Sax with a double. The Indians countered for their fourth run in their half of the eighth when Fitzgerald reached first on Michaels’ fumble, sprinted to third on Rosenberg’s safety and scored on a deep fly by Sigafoos. Cantrell, righthander, and Milligan, a southpaw, toiled in the box for the Maple Leafs and the former proved a puzzle until he lost his endurance and was batted hard in the sixth.
Indian Notes
BILL BURWELL, going into his tenth season as one of the mainstays on the Tribe mound staff, was slated to face Toronto this afternoon. It will be his first start of the year. The veteran was late in taking up training owing to a controversy over his contract. Bill got down to strenuous exercise after finally falling in line and believes he will be ready to “shoot” when the official bell rings. ss tt tt The performiJhce of John Berly Monday acted as a bracer to the clans of Manager McCann. The righthander obtained from the Giants was short of control and was batted hard by the Yankees in St. Petersburg a week ago Monday. He threw a knuckle ball in the ninth Monday that fooled catcher Riddle as well as the batter, R. Smith. The Toronto player swung and missed and the sphere went right on through Riddle. a a tt Sammy Hale’s double in the sixth struck the left field wall on the flv and only fast stepping bv Doliack held the blow to two cushions. Shortstop Sax drew three passes and after the game Berlv said Saxie always troubled him in the International League. "He was my linx when I was [ with Rochester." John stated, “and nearly I every time I looked up he was perched on I first.’’
THE Tribe hit total Monday was nine and players boosting their spring averages were McCann, Hale, Rosenberg and Sigafoos. Hale has been in only two tilts, however. Tom Angley was given a rest to permit Riddle to round into form, Johnny catching the whole game. Figures for eleven regular exhibition tilts follow*: G. AB. H. Av.
