By Joe Williams a a a Get Away From Cavalcade? Sloane Colt Top Favorite a a a Ex-Ringman His Trainer

T OUISVILLE, Kv., May 4.—“ Yeah, but how are you going to get away from Cavalcade?” Mention any other staffer in tomorrow’s Derby and that’s the invariable comment—- “ How are you going to get away from Cavalcade?” I suggested timidly that the matter be submitted to the übiquitous Mr. Dillinger, and that very possibly the problem would be definitely and permanently settled. Seriously, I wish I knew how you could get away from Cavalcade myself; he shapes up as the thing they’ll have to beat, whether it’s a wet track, a dry track or no track at all. And such is the support he is receiving twenty-four hours before post time that Mrs. Dodge Sloane's colt is likely to be the favorite, and while I am not altogether avaricious, I do not like these favorites. a a a ana I RECALL that Cavalcade ran in the mud last year to win the Hyde Park Stakes at Arlington, and a $2 mutuel ticket yielded a man SIBO. That's what I call making intelligent and practical use of your money. Cavalcade started eleven times as a 2-year-old and was first only twice, thus qualifying as the Joe Beckett of the season. The current enthusiasm for his chances is based on the two record-breaking races he ran recently in Maryland. To the gentlemen who make a deep study of such things this indicates that the hurry-on colt has improved over his 2-year-old form and, moreover, is ready to go to town. That’s why they are moaning: ‘Hew can you get away from Cavalcade?" bob b b b There was a slump in his stock three days ago when it was reported he had shipped badly from the east, was drawn-looking and jittery. T 1 admit he was jittery all right," said Bob Smith, trainer for the Brookmeade stable, “but that was my fault. I wasn’t smart enough to protect him.” "What did that mean?” “Well, you see, when he got here there were twenty photographers in the railroad yards waiting to take his picture, and so I had to pose him for about an hour. If I had been smart I would have fetched out some other colt and the fellows wouldn't have known the difference.” This is not exactly a lofty compliment to the acuteness of the camera guild, but it probably is a fact that to most people one hoss looks very much like another; at any rate most of them have four legs and a tail. a a a nan INCIDENTALLY, this Mr. Smith came to the turf from the prize ring. He used to manage beakbusters back in the old days. One of his stars was Frank Erne, the great lightweight who is now a business man in the Wall Street district. Singularly he employs the same technique with his hosses that he used with his punch throwers. “Erne was slow to come to a boil in the ring,” Mr. Smith tells you. “It seemed that he couldn't get going until he was smacked. So I used to trick him into demonstrating his punches in the dressing room while waiting for the call to the ring. a a a a a a “T’D have some stooge along, and I would say, ‘Frank, show this guy 1 how you hook with your left.’ And when he went through the motions, the stooge would bang him. You can imagine that the effect was quite maddening. But before anything could happen I would hustle Erne into the ring and then he was in a murderous mood." “Do you get some hoss to come over and kick Cavalcade in the ribs?” I asked, deeply impressed by the strategy. "Not exactly. But I do see that he attains a nervous sharpness before he comes to the pest. Some time before the race I give him a breather around the track to shake off stable lethargy and get his mind on competition. The theory is the same; it was necessary with Erne and it seems to be necessary with Cavalcade.”

LOUISVILLE WELCOMES HOLIDAY THRONG

Hustling Indians Make It Five Out of Last Six as Bob Logan Holds Saints to Six Safeties Tribe Maintains Fast Face Against Apostles ami Grabs Series Opener, 5-3; Killeter’s Men Pole Six Extra Base Blows, With Wingard Leading. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor With five victories tucked away out of their last six starts, the Indians squared off today for a second skirmish with the St. Paul Saints, and Jim Turner was due for the home mound assignment. Jim's number was up yesterday, but Manager Red Killefer changed and pushed Lefty Bob Logan to the fore, and Lefty came through by holding the Apostles to six blows and a 5 to 3 triumph. The Tribesmen are sticking right along with Ownie Bush's Minneapolis Millers, the league leaders, who won at Louisville yesterday, and that twin bill scheduled here on Sunday between the Hoosiers and Bushmen looms as a “natural" for packing ’em in. It was "ladies’ day” at Perry stadium today and the biggest turnout of the season, except on opening day, was expected to drift through the turnstiles. ’ Tiie Apostles skipped off to a one-

Carter Signs Big Boys in Prelims on Armory Show Frank Speer Is Matched With Kirilenko for Tuesday Night. A pair of fast prelim matches were arranged today to support the Joe Savoldi-Sol Slagel main go on the Hercules A. C. heavyweight wrestling card Tuesday night at the Armory. Frank Speer, rough Atlanta mat ace, who has gone undefeated in seven bouts here, will clash with Matros Kirilenko, clever Russian husky, in the semi-windup. Speer, a former all-America grid star at Georgia Tech, decisioned Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin here several weeks ago. The bout offers Kirilenko an opportunity to halt the southern boy’s winning streak. In the opening tilt, Dorve Roche, New Orleans, tackles Hans Bauer, Germany. Bauer is a newcomer here, while Roche made a hit here last week in a bout with Dick Raines. Keen interest is being displayed in the Savoldi-Slagel battle, according to matchmaker Lloyd Carter. Many fans have been anxious to see a Slagel-Savoldi bout in view of the fact that Slagel is credited with forcing the Italian star to quit in a bout in New Orleans last summer. Slagel weighs 230 and Savoldi 205. Tickets for the show went on sale yesterday at the Claypool pharmacy. Carter has announced that there will be no increase in prices for the program.

Johnny Cooney Saves the Day

WHEN better outfield catches are made, Johnny Cooney will make them. He led the American Association fly chasers in fielding last year and his work during the early part of the 1934 campaign indicates he is going to have another big season. The Down East \ lad gathered in | five putouts yes- ; ries opener with- 1L ! the Saints and * W one of his brilvented a tie score. jllSSi stanza the Aposafter cne down on a fly to Cooney, Cooney Larry Rosenthal drew a free ticket to first and advanced to second on a single by Jackie Warner. This brought up the stalwart Bob Fenner, catcher, who swings a heavy piece of timber. Bob connected and drove the horsehide high and far away. It went to straight center and Cooney was off with the crack of bat meeting ball. It had the earmarks of a sure triple, or perhaps a home run. Johnny measured the wallop perfectly, and with his back to the diamond while going at full speed he reached out in basket fashion i and gathered in the sphere as he | faced the center field corner. It ; was one of the best races between I man and ball in the history of Perry stadium. One old-timer said. “I’ve been boasting about great outfielders of the days gone by, but I take it back. ! That catch equals or surpasses any- ! thing I ever witnessed. The cigars : are on me.” NETMEN TO COMPETE The Shortridge high school tennis team is working in preparation for the first match with Bloomington high school at the Hawthorne court at 9 Saturday. Eliminations are being held under the supervision of Howard Wood, tennis coach. The following are still out for the sport: Wright, Birr. Lathrop, Dulberger, Guilford.

run lead yesterday when Koster lilted the lid by walloping a triple and scored on a long fly by Rosenthal. Logan was opposed by Miles Thomas, a right hander, and the Indians were held off until the third stanza, when they tied the contest with the help of an infield miscue. Over the Wall In the fourth session Phil Todt, visiting first sacker, blasted the horsehide out cf the park over the right field wall and this mighty swat agitated the locals and they came through with a three-run rally on a triple by Ernie Wingard and singles by Bedore, Sherlock and Lee, the last named driving in two markers. In the fifth Cotelle whistled a double to the right field corner and Miles Thomas was relieved by Gene Trow. After two down Bedore bumped the score board in left center with a double, scoring Cotelle. The Saints were not through and they got one more tally in the sixth, which ended the scoring for the afternoon. The Tribe hit total was ten, and six of the safeties were for extra bases, Wingard leading with a double and triple. Great Play by Cooney The brilliant play of the day was credited to Johnny Cooney and it practically won the ball game for the Indians. In the eighth inning, with one down and runners on first and second, Bob Fenner, Apostle catcher, sent a towering drive to deep center. Cooney turned and sprinted in the direction of the flag pole as he saw r the sphere soar. His only chance for a catch was on the run, and he made it with his back to the stands. The catch cut off two runs. It would have been an easy triple for Fenner. Cotelle Keeps Going When Como Cotelle doubled in the fifth it marked the seventh game in which he had poked out at least one extra base hit. He played the left garden yesterday, fielded in league style and stole one base. Dudley Lee also pilfered one sack, giving him a total of four for the new season. Lee also delivered with the bludgeon and on the defense, and some of his plays were made on difficult chances that required sensational action and perfect throwing. Fred Bedore had not much to do around the hot corner, but he was very prominent at the plate and batted in two runs with a single and double. It was a well-played struggle and both teams entertained the fans with fancy stops and running catches. Warner was the busy bird with the Apostles with eight chances accepted around the keystone sack. Batting averages of the Indians, exclusive of pitchers, follow: AT H Pet. Rosenberg; 48 18 .315 Bedore 33 1 8 , 34 Sherlock 33 11 .333 Spring; 24 8 .333 Cotelle 56 9 .321 Lee 56 17 .301 Cooney 63 19 .301 Wingard 27 8 .296 Sigrafoos 46 13 .283 Washington 30 8 .267 Shevlin 33 8 .242 Riddle 29 7 .241 Lawrie 11 2 .000 PAUL LEE WINS By Times Special QUINCY, 111., May 4.—Paul Lee, Indianapolis featherweight boxer, defeated Tony Viviano, St. Louis, in ten rounds here.

Neusel, Loughran to Reopen Garden By United Press NEW YORK. May 4.—Walter Neusel. blond German heavyweight, is an 8 to 5 favorite to beat Tommy Loughran tonight in their tenround bout at Madison Square Garden. This bout rings up the curtain on boxing at- the Garden after a lapse of nearly two months. Admirers of the German believe he may knock out the Philadelphia dancing master, a feat which champion Primo Camera was unable to accomplish. He has advantages of youth, weight, height and punch. The 25-year-old Neusel is expected to scale 197 pounds, to the 32-year-old Loughran’s 184.

Threatening Weather May Erase Favorites in Derby; Record Crowd Is Awaited Brookmeade Entry. Cavalcade and Jime Clock. Still Low Price in Betting; Notables Throng Scene of America’s Horse Race Classic. BY STUART CAMERON I’nlted Press Sports Editor LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 4. —The eve of the Kentucky Derby finds a "perfect” race virtually assured for tomorrow at Churchill Downs with a record crowd of more than 75.000 promised, and the forecast of unsettled weather increasing the uncertainty of an already wide open race. Cavalcade's smart workout yesterday, and announcement by chief trainer Robert A. Smith that the other Brookmeade stable’s colo- bearer. Time Clock, definitely would start, maintained that coupled entry at the favored quotation of 5 to 2.

Despite the reported nervousness of Mata Hari under crowd pressure, that filly is the next choice at 7 to 2. She is heavily backed to repeat the triumph of Regret in 1915, the only lady thoroughbred to win the classic. Track Is Speedy The oval is fast right now. One or two showers would make it lightning fast, but heavy rains would slow it down. In case of heavy running. Sgt. Byrne, now quoted at 30 to 1. is expected to profit most. He is an excellent mudder. as he proved when a 2-year-old in beating the Australian wonder horse. Winooka, in a morass at Belmont Park. But there are plenty of other good mudders in the field. Cavalcade has the strength and stamina to do well in heavy going. Weather forecaster James L. Kendall said the weather would be unsettled Derby day. While this may affect the track, it is not expected to have much bearing on the crowds already pouring in. Derby officials predict that the all-time record of 75.000 set in 1926, when Bradley’s two entrants. Bubbling Over and Baggen Baggage romped home one and two, probably will be broken. Specials Bring Fans Thirty special trains are expected today from all sections.
