Talking It Over BV JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. May 2—Weil, the hoy* who said the Derby wa s no place for a young gal knew what they were talking about. I'm drifting back to the Wood Memorial out at Jamaica over the meek end when Sonny Whitney's Top Flight ran a feeble fourth. Top Flight's a little ga! racer. Last year she was the champion two year old of America, colts included. She won seven straight races and set anew money winning record for juveniles. Rated off her record, she automatically became the winter book favorite to win the Derby, which is to be raced out in Old Kaintuck this Saturday. Despite the fact there was no certainty about her even starting, the magnanimous i*jros wouldn't offer better than 8 to 1 against her winning, and these odds wete gradually shaded to 3 to 1.

Joe Mowry, sensational Minneapolis rookie outfielder, continued his brilliant play to lead the Millers to a 10 to 2 triumph over Toledo Sunday. He drove in four runs with a homer, double and single in five trips. Joe Hauser, veteran first sacker, crashed two homers for the Millers. Powers. Toledo flychaser. had a perfect day with four hits.

TOP FLIGHT WITHDRAWN FROM KENTUCKY DERBY

Berly to Face Leading Blues on Tribe Mound

Dawson’s 4-Hit Performance Gives K. C. Top Berth as Indians Tumble, 3 to 1; Hoosiers Seek New Talent to Bolster Batting. BY EDDIE ASH Tlm- Soort, Editor KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 2.—Ousted from a tie for the league lead 3unday. when the Kansas Ciyt Blues annexed the series opener, 3 to 1. the Indians of Emmet McCann were trying to assemble some batting strength today before tackling the Kawtown Cowboys in the second tilt of the four-game set scheduled at Muehlbach field. John Berly, right-hander, was slated to occupy the firing line against Eddie • Dutch* Zwilling's American Association pare setters. The Indians got an even break over the week-end. winning at Milwaukee Saturday, 9 to 5. and losing here on the Sabbath when the veteran Joe Dawson held them to four hits. It was Dawson's second victory over the Hoosiers this spring and it is evident he possesses an assortment that has the Indians checked. Sensational fielding helped Dawson at times Sunday, but there were other innings when he pitched himself out of dangerous spots and the Indians were fortunate ir a way to keep the score close. Johnny Cooney hurled the route for the Tribe and was touched for twelve safeties, but seven of the blows came after two down and were wasted. Morover, three double plays executed by the McCann forces held down the K. C. scoring. Ernie Wingard. playing first, grabbed off two of the Tribe's four hits, and Pitcher Dawson combed Cooney for three of the Blues’ twelve base knocks.

Shade Shines in Fast Drill Railbirds, who saw Dave Shade in 1 his final intensive workout Sunday at Victory gym. were treated to some fast action. The veteran star appears in top shape for his Tuesday ten-round tussle with Ray Tramblie at the armory. Cold forced Shade to work indoors after he had planned an outdoor session at River- ! side. Tramblie was due In town this morning from Chicago, where he has been training for the last week. The Rockford pug stands ace-high with local fight followers on account of his two great battles with Del Fontaine here last season and his decisive win over Sammy Kid Slaugh- ! ter at the armory several months ago.

U. S. May Drop Olympic Teams tty United Prr*M PHILADELPHIA. May 2.—The American Olympic committee today faced possibility of reducing the number of teams and entrants which will represent the United Stacps at the Olympic games in Los Angeles this summer, because only $34,000 of the necessary $350,000 fund has been raised. In announcing this shortage of funds last night, Avery Brundage, president of the committee, explained that if the *350,000 is raised, the United States will enter teams in twenty events. But if the fundraising campaign falls short, the committee will enter only as many teams as it can finance.

Frank O'Rourke, the Milwaukee pilot, took part in nis first game and slashed out two singles and a double to lead his Brewers to a 4 to 1 win over Louisville. It was the fourth straight loss for the Colonels. Hiilin held the Colonels to eight blows. Umpire Clayton, who had much trouble with Indianapolis players, banished Bruno Betzel.

CHARLEY ROOT OUT Si/ Timca Special CHICAGO, May 2 —Charley Root, ace twirler of the Chicago Cubs, was left behind Sunday when the Bruins left for Pittsburgh. He was put out of action by an attack of tonsilitis. Burleigh Grimes. Woody English and Kiki Cuvier are other Cub stars on the hospital list. COP BOWLING LAURELS Milt Wimberly and L. Cox again found the Illinois drives to their liking, copping top honors in the 400-doubles bowling event over the week-end with a total of 1.388 E Heckman and L. Cox took second prize, scoring 1.348. LOCAL WOMEN WIN Illinois alleys ladies' bowling team defeated Shelbyvllle at Shelbyville in special match Saturday night, by a margin of fourteen points. Illinois men's team did not enjoy the same fortune, losing their match to the Shelbyville men by ninety pins.

The Indians have compiled a splendid record, consisting of ten victories and five defeats, but in spite of the grand showing certain spots in the lineup are beginning to worry the club chiefs and the country is being scouted for talent, especially for an outfielder capable of walloping the sphere. Hale Weak in Field Furthermore. Sammy Hale at third base is letting too many drives skip through him and there has been very little hitting out of the backstop department. Hale weakness in the field has come to the surface gradually and It is a big question now if his batting power will offset his inability to cover ground The status of Tom Angle-y, firststring catcher, was to be determined in Indianapolis today, where he was sent from Milwaukee to confer with Owner Norman Perry. The league penalty of five days against Tom will expire on Tuesday, but there are other matters up for settlement if the robust receiver is to remain with the Indians. The Indians lost out on an offer to purchase outfielder Toirf Jenkins of the St. Louis Browns, who formerly was a hard swatter in the American Association. Jack Hendricks. Tribe business manager, filed a bid for Jenkins and was informed an objection on the part of Milwaukee eliminated Indianapolis. The Brewers are controlled by the Browns, and owing to the bitter rivalary that has developed between the Home Brews and Hoosiers the Milwaukee officials used their influence and knocked the Tribe out of the fly chaser. The strange part of the matter is the fact that there is no chance for Jenkins to go to Milwaukee because of an order issued by Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball. Jenkins was “farmed” to the Brewers before, and Landis ruled he could not be sent again to a club operating under St. Louis ownership. Cooney Hit Hard Just a few days ago the Indians thought they had a deal arranged lor catcher Russ Young of the Brow'ns, only to learn Milwaukee had stepped in ahead and landed the backstop. The Tribe chiefs are not disturbed a whole lot, however. on the reception met on some of their offers and will continue to look for athletes capable of bolstering the machine. The contest in Kansas City Sunday practically was decided in the opening inning when the Blues scored twice on a triple by Taylor, double by Grigsby and a single by Boken. It was a hard inning for Johnny Cooney, because Taylor’s triple came after one down and was on a long fly misjudged in the wind by Curt Walker. In the second, the Tribe scored its lone marker of the tilt on doubles by Sigafoos and Fitzgerald. The third run chalked up by K. C. came in the eighth when Kelly beat out an infield roller and kept running all the way to third when Coonney fielded the sphere and made a wild throw to first. A single by Dunlap scored Kelly.

Defeat, Misfortune Stalk Derby Hopes BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press SUIT Correspondent CHICAGO, May 2.—Kentucky Derby dope was scrambled almost beyond recognition today as an aftermath of Top Flight’s defeat. Burning Blaze’s tragic injury and the rise of new favorites for the fifty-eighth running of America's most famous horse race Saturday at Churchill Dow-ns. With Burning Blaze, the west's leading contender, out of the race with a severed tendon, and Top Flight, winter book favorite, a doubtful starter, Tick On. owned by Mrs. L. G. Kaufman of Chicago, has been temporarily shuffled to the front as the favorite. Defeat and misfortune stalked leading Derby contenders last week

as borne out by the following: Top Flight, unbeaten in seven successive races as a juvenile, finished fourth in the Wood Memorial. Burning Biaze was cut down in winning a 6*4-furlong race at Churchill Downs when a small tendon at the back of the heel was severed by another horse in rounding the stretch turn. Liberty Limited Hurt Liberty Limited, fourth choice in the winter book, nursed a slightly cracked heel and a minor leg abrasion which may prevent the Three D.’s stock farm from going to the post. Evening, a filly not eligible for the Derby, showed up nine other Derby eligibles in winning the Chesapeake stakes at Havre De Grace. Springsteel finished out of the money in the Chesapeake stakes, after beating Tick On in a mile and seventy yards race on Wednesday. In the new line of contenders appeared prominently today the names of Burgoo King and Brother Joe. Colonel E. R. Bradley s Kentucky born and bred entry; Universe and Economic, which ran one-two in the Wood Memorial and Stepenfetchit, which ran second In the Chesapeake stakes. Bradley Chances Good There is a difference of opinion as to which is the better horse. Burgoo King or Brother Joe. but there is no argument to the fact that Col. Bradley has perhaps the strongest Derby hand in the light of last week's disastrous results for other Derby candidates. Colonel Bradley has told his friends he regards Brother Joe as his best bet, but Burgoo King is the better colt on his 2-year-old record. Last February, odds of 400-1 were quoted against Brother Joe. The price on Colonel Bradley’s double entry Derby may go to 3-1 or lower. Universe, owned by T. M. Cassidy, was 40-1 in the winter book ten days ago. but his victory in the Wood Memorial has cut his price to 9-1. Eighteen May Start The fact that the last Wood Memorial winners. Gallant Fox in 1930. and Twenty Grand in 1931, have gone on to win the Derby is going to swing a lot of plav to Universe. With prospects of a wide-open | race now that Top Flight has been shown up as too small and effeminate to compete with colts and other contenders have been eliminated the field is likely to number anywhere from fourteen to eighteen. Last year only twelve started when Twenty Grand set the Derby record of 2:01 4-5 for the mile and a quarter. The record number of starters is twenty-two in 1928 when Reigh Count won. The following are considered possible starters: Tick On, Burgoo King, Brother Joe, Universe, Cold Check, Rowdy Boy, Liberty Limited, Gallant Sir. Cathop. Prince Hotspur. Cee Tee. Economic, Curacao, Lar- j ranaga. Lucky Tom. Mad Frump. Stepenfetchit. Springsteel. Overtime.
