TURF EXPERTS DISAGREE ON TOP FLIGHT’S DERBY CHANCES
‘Too Small,' Bradley Says; Shaw Cuts Odds Kentucky Horseman Favors Tick On in May 7 Classic; Burning Blaze Draws Support of Westerners; Filly Shows Fine Form. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY I nltfd Prfii Stiff Corrrrpondcnl CHICAGO, April 28.—The growing suspicion that Top Flight is too small and effeminate to win the Kentucky Derby seems likely to remove the unbeaten filly from the favorite's position before the bugle sounds at Churchill Downs nine days hence. Winter book betting is largely based on 2-year-old form and Top Flight, by that token, has been backed stoutly by the majority of future, bettors. Top Flight was unbeaten in seven straight starts and champion of her class as a Juvenile, but will not receive her first test as a 3-year-old until Saturday in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica. Only a victory in this mile and seventy yards race will keep Top Flight in the favorite's position in the winter book.
Colonel E. R. Bradley, who has twice seen his horses run one-two in the Derby, is one of the many prominent turf men who doubt Top Flight's ability to go the Derby distance against bigger horses. “Top Flight will be beaten in the Derby because she does not have the strength and stamina to go the distance,’’ said Colonel Bradley. “I’ll bet $20,000 to SIO,OOO that Top Flight doesn't finish among the first three in the Derby. I’d say Tick On is the horse to beat." Shaw Cuts Odd Top Flight worked a mile at Jamaica Wednesday in 1:40 1-5, which impressed Thomas Shaw, nationally known turf commissioner so much that hr cut the odds on the unbeaten filly to 3 to 1. Asked what he thought of Top Flight's run, he laconically remarked, ‘ Three to one's a bargain on her.” Tick On, second choice in the winter book, made his first 3-year-old start in the mile and seventyyard race at Havre De Grace on Wednesday, and finished second to Springsteel, another Derby candidate. The chart, however, reveals that Tick On was shuffled back to sixth place at the first turn and was bottled up in the run down the home stretch. Tick On closed gamely and was only a length back at the finish. Burning Blaze Favored Looking around for a candidate to replace Top Flight as the leading contender, many westerners have settled on Burning Blaze, owned by the Nash Brothers of Chicago. Burning Blaze won six out of twelve races as a juvenile and has ruled third choice in the winter book for several weeks. Burning Blaze is big and strong and can run on a fast or muddy track. He has trained well and probably will make his first start in a 6'i-furlong race at Churchill Downs Saturday. I. U. Slab Ace Hurt in Fall By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 28 j The brunt of the hurling duties on the Indiana university baseball team will now fall on Red Wright, | it was learned today when it was revealed that Ralph Gatti's broken arm probably will keep him out for the rest of the season. The Indiana star hurlcr received his fractured arm when he fell while participating in exercises of a physical education class in technique yesterday and fractured the arm at the wrist. He and Wright have just pitched Indiana to an eight-game winning streak.

Richmond Star Cops Top in State Singles, All-Events
BY LEFTY LEE The bowling of R. Marshall, Richmond star, was feature of Wednesday night’s play of the state pin tournament at Anderson, his great work placing him at the top in the singles and all-events. In the singles Marshall started with 234, followed with a 245 and finished with 202, to total 681, and pass C. Mahoney of Indianapolis by a margin of six pips. Marshall had 611 in team play'and 603 in the ■ doubles, total 1.895 in the all-events, and replaced Otto Jensen of Terre Haute, who was leading with 1,343. Indianapolis bowlers will hold the drives tonight, two squads of doubles and singles events being filled by local boys, as’follows: Doubles, 8 p. m.—Singles, 8:50 p. m. E. Strlebeck-F. Hueber. E. Schott-F. I Schleimer, C. Mack-C. Cray. W. Hayes-H. j Wheeler. C. Mindach-E. Stevenson. L. Kolling-P. Stemm. J. Michaells-L. Faust, M. Wimberly-E. Hornberger, A. Bevbecichjß. Switzer, J. Sullivan-B.

Miller, H. Boyd-. 1. I Ochiltree, P. Striebeck-H. Runyon. L. | Millev-W. Ramsey and F. Argus-J. Hunt. I Otto .Jensen lost his opportunity to tie I the record of Fonnie Snyder of winning three of the four events when Marshall passed him in the all-events. His team, the Jensen Recreation, holds the lead ih team play, and paired with his brother Oscar he is leading the doubles plav. Snyder won the doubles, singles and allevents, at the state meet in Terre Haute three years ago. Larry Fox. the Marott star, has the best all-events total for Indianapolis bowlers to date, his nine-game count of 1,840 resting in third place. Anderson bowler's chances for a championship are very slim, as such, stars, as | More, Cave, Robinson, Samuels avid Staggs have rolled their games, and failed to I top the field in any event, j Complaints galore were directed at the j pins that refused to fall on hits that ! appeared to be in, but never a word has been uttered against the drives and runwavs, these being in perfect condition. Tournament secretary P. Southard has the meet well In hand, all squads taking the drives on time. Dopesters now are of the opinion that the 2.968 rolled by the Jensen Terre Haute team has a real chance to take top honors, but with such teams, as Coca Cola and Union Title of Indianapolis and Farnan Shoes of Ft. Wayne still to roll this prediction appears to be premature.

Levinsky Has 26 Pound Edge

Mickey Walker By Untied Press CHICAGO, April 28. Mickey Walker, who held Jack Sharkey to a fifteen-round draw last summer, and King Levinsky, who won a newspaper decision over Jack Dempsey in a four-round exhibition bout in February, indulged in only loosening-up exercises today for their ten-round heavyweight bout Friday night in the Chicago stadium. With their hard training over, Walker scaled 172 and Levinsky 198, a difference of twenty-six pounds. Both will weigh in within a pound or so of these figures. The Chicago stadium expects a crowd of more than 20,000 and gate receipts of about $72,000.

U. S. Opens Cup Action Vines and Allison Battle Wright, Rainville in Openers. BY HENRY MLEMORE United Presi SUIT Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28.—With more diplomats and statesmen in attendance than you'll find at a session of the League of Nations, the United States Davis cup squad today inaugurated its 1932 campaign on the courts of the very la-de-la Chevy Chase Country Club. President Herbert Hoover will not throw out the first ball, but that will be about the only touch lacking when Ellsworth Vines and Wilmer Allison take the courts against Dr. Jack Wright and Marcel Rainville of Canada, in the first round of the North American zone competition. Even the diplomats, with all their tact, could find no means of getting | around the fact that the United j States was a top-heavy favorite to | win the two singles matches today, ! the doubles engagement Friday, and the final two singles jousts on Saturday. Canada has been meeting | the United States in these early zone affairs for quite a few years, and has yet to come even close to a victory. Today's opening lineup called for national champion Vines to meet Wright, and Allison, the mad Texan, to match shots with Rainville. You could write your own ticket on Wright and Rainville at any of the town’s betting marts. When Vines is right, the only man in the world capable of giving him a run for his money is Henri Cochet of France. Allison should have little or no trouble in dispasing of Rainville. The Texan has been running berserk these past few months, playing tennis all out of proportion to his No. 9 ranking. Always a great doubles player, Allison now is bidding for equal fame as a solo performer.
