\ et Matthew Brady Trains J 3 Kentucky Derby Hopefuls
FolloMine is the seventh artiele of a series analyzing the records of Kentucky Urrbv hopefuls. 15V THOMAS H. NOONE, Ini led Cress Racing editor NEW YORK, April 11.—Thirtyfive or more years in horse racing has taught Matthew Brady, agent and trainer of thoroughbreds, the folly of thinking anything certain in the game, so he refuses to wiax enthusiastic over the chances of his three candidates for the derby this year. The 53-year-old veteran spent the winter at Belmont Park, where he is now grooming Mr. Khayyam, Good Advice and Philippi Jr., three nominees to the mile and a quarter Kentucky classic, for their 3-.vear-old campaign. “Tve got as good a chance as anybody in those three colts,” the former jockey said at Belmont today, “but I'd be a stupid man indeed to predict victory for any one of them.” Brady expects to ship the greater part of his large stable to Havre de Grace within a few days and, barring mishaps, will go to Churchill
That Baer — He’d Make a Wild Roistering Two-Fisted Champion
BY HENRY M’LEMORE I'nitecl Prrss Staff C orrespondent NEW YORK. April 11.—What a champion he’d make! What a wild and wooly, roistering, twofisted champion! That was the concensus of those who visited Jack Dempsey's quarters Monday to greet Max Baer on his arrival from California for ’his June bout with Max Schmeling. The California butcher boy is from the same mold as Dempsey. Big, handsome. tough, rough, easy come-easy go. he's a composite of all the items you associate with a heavyweight champion. Let him take the title and well see something. He'll cut a swathe from here to California wide enough to accommodate six brewery horses. It won't be a swathe that will appeal to your maiden Aunt Hester, but it will be a glorious swathe that will chase away the memory of the bookish Tunney and the boorish Sharkey. You should have seen his arrival Monday. Dressed six notches higher than the height of fashion, he breezed into his hotel behind fifteen pieces of luggage, bestowing gifts upon all the hired help in sight. Hard as nails, brown as a pecan and with a smile that threatened to envelop his ears, he didn't look like a man who was being sued for divorce bv his wife in Livermore, for $250,000 breach of promise by a waitress somewhere else, and who was so hard up he had to get a SI,OOO advance from Dempsey to reach the scene of battle. But money doesn't interest him. except as something to spend. As he explained it. he doesn't fight for money, but only in order to gain “fame and glory, pay my various lawsuits and keep my managers—all twelve of ’em—out of the breadline." He hadn't been in his room five minutes before, shirt off and a bottle of beer in each hand, he strrrtrd helping out a reporter who for some reason or another, wanted him to be a full-fledged Jewish heavyweight. "All right, make me a Jewish heavyweight. Actually I'm only half Jewish, but that doesn't matter." As he talked. Baer moved round and round the room. Like Dempsey, he's too restless, too full of energy, to stay in one place long. Although a big fellow—he weighs 218 and stands nearly three inches over six feet—he moved with the agility of a cat. One look at him and you know why he believes he'll knock out Schmeling. "I never saw the Dutchman fight.'' he said, "but I'll get him. SAVOLDI IS SUSPENDED Jumping Joe Barred in Indiana for Breaking Contract.

I’m too strong, too tough and hit too hard for him. I’m telling you, I'm not as worried about Schmeling ! as I was about Tuffy Griffiths, and I knocked Tuffy out. I'm in good shape right now, and a couple ol weeks’ training would get me down to about 210 and ready for business. I'm really going to train for this one. I've got all the Hollywood atmosphere of wine, dames and song out of my system. What I wanta do is fight." ATTENDS 53 OPENERS I Bedford Man to Watch Reds in Action at Cincy Wednesday.
