By Eddie Ash JOCKEY WRIGHT EYES THE DERBY m m m jSEES CHANCE SUN AS HIS BET

/"'jHERISHING the dream of all jockeys, Wayne W right, the blond-haired rider for the Joseph E. Widener Stable, looks forward to an opportunity of being up on the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby this year. His own choice is Chance Sun, owned by Widener. lie captured the Belmont Futurity with Chance Sun and the Belmont Stakes with Peace Chance for Widener in 1934, but Wright naturally would rather annex the Derby than any other event in the horse race calendar. It’s the ambition of his life. Wright Marted in the West and has established himself as one of the greatest jockeys in years at the tender age of 18. He brought home his first inner at Reno in 1930 and barnstormed at small fairs and roundups before a break came that gave him a trial at Arlington Park in 1932. He's been moving forward since. The youngster has won more than 60 races this year and on one da> recently at Tropical Park. Florida. Wright won five events and finished third on his other mount of the afternoon. Speaking of Chance Sun and the Derby. Wright said. He is training in fine style in Kentucky and I believe he demonstrated his quality when he won the Futurity. I think my dream will come true if Mr. Widener and Trainer Pete Coyne decide to run Chance Sun in the classic at Churchill Downs May 4.

mm" Campus Popularity THE nevs service of Indiana University contributes some interesting highlights on its popular basketball ace, Willard Kehrt of Shelbyville. • Indiana’s cage co-captain. Willard Kehrt. is a man of accomplishments and a man of nicknames. Willy or Slim (though the latter evokes the tart comment that he isn’t slim, just slender) was given the Balfour award, distinguishing him as the player bringing honor and distinction to Indiana University.* “Aside from this honor, ‘the Little Colonel’ led his team in Conference scoring, placing seventh in the Big Ten with 99 points.

Crimson stars and Willy’s roommates. ‘ Kehrt soon will turn to baseball. Coach Dean considers him one of his most valuable pitchers." m 9 m Casey Plans Reverse CONNIE MACK cashed in with so much publicity when he made a catcher out of first baseman Jimmy Foxx that he made Casey Stengel envious. Casey is j the pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers l and his best catcher is A1 Lopez, j Now’ Stengel says in another year he may switch Lopez to third base. Therefore, instead of transforming a star in fielder into a backstop. Casey may reverse it and transform j a star backstop into an infielder. | Stengel explains. *‘ATs a natural ball player and third base would be a cinch for him. I’ll hit that pub- j licity league harder than Mack ever j socked it when he eased the mask and shin guards on Foxx.” Information from Frorida says, Jimmy is having trouble handling curve balls. Fuxx was a backstop in the minors, hut catching in the big leagues is a different story. Moreover. he spent so many years away from the mask that it's difficult to return :id master the receiving end. Catcnlii.? l ighthanded curves : Is giving Jnsnc a lot of worry , Florida reports say. It calls for shifting of the feet end there is a little trick in it that makes the artist Foxx is “all ball player*’ though, and may leant the art by diligent j practice and regular game action. m m m Long-Shot Freeman WHEN the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia Uni- i versity met last week in the play-ofT j for the Eastern Intercollegiate i Basketball League championship, the contest was played on a neutral floor, at the Rutgers gym in New Brunswick.

HOOSIERS, CLEVELAND DUEL FOR A. B. C. SITE

Prospects Bright for Local Campaigners as Windy City and Others Promise Support 26 Indianapolis Teams Fail to Place Among Leaders in Opening Whirl at Syracuse Pins; Cookmen Total 2810; Remaining Squads Roll Tonight. BY BERNARD HARMON Time* Bowlin* Writer. SYRACUSE. N. Y., March 21.—Indianapolis bowlers were off to a slow start in their quest for ten-pin honors in the great American Bowling Congress festival here as 130 Hoosier capital kegelers on 26 five-man teams failed to produce a 600 individual total last night.

Out of the 15 bouts held, the one between Happy Atherton, former flyweight flash, and One-round Bess probably drew the most applause. Bess is a Negro who could stack ’em in when he was in his hey-day. Atherton was dressed in a pair of Times-Legion Golden ’ Gloves trunks, black trimmed in red, and was he happy! They Have Their Fun After a little horse play in which Bess and Happy pinned Referee Merle Aite to the canvas, the two fighters got down to business and Atherton set a fast pace. He kept boring in and had nis opponent hanging on at the bell. The two enjoyed a bottle of beer while waiting for the next round. It was mainly in-fighting in the second frame and One-round Bess, staging a ‘‘marvelous comeback.’’ missed a vicious right as the round ended. “Boy! I’m so hot!’’ declared the slim, only slightly marked Negro veteran when he went to his chair. He was speaking in short gasps rather than after the manner of a braggart, however. Display Old Form There was just a little pathos there as the two sparred gamely in their third and last round, perhaps the last they ever will fight in the ring. But Happy’s famous crouch was still there as he kept trying to bore into his foe’s mid-section and Bess arched his eye-brows in the old familiar way, the better to see his opponent. Others who fought on the card included Paul <Tennessee) Lee and Marvin <Kid> Woods, Roy Rodgers and Ripper Wilson, Johnny Denson, Golden Gloves champ, and Kid Berger; Bill Brownlee and Jimmy Nielsen, Fireman Eddie Webber and Mike Mitchell, Gene Risk and Sidney Glick. Johnny Schmerdel and Slavko Radkish, Bud Cottey and Billy Sparks. Shifty Calloway, Ray Hertz, Wilbur Boyce and Arthur McTerry. No decisions were awarded. Referees included Heze Clark. Merle Alte, Charley Shine, Earl Halstead and Ed South. Receipts Announced Ted Sullivan announced that more than enough money to pay the funeral expenses of Willie Yap was taken in and that he wouid see that a stone marker is purchased for the famed fighter's grave here. Any funds left will be turned ovpr to the city relief kitchen. Net receipts were $224.55. Official paid attendance was 844. Bud Westfall was chiefly responsible for the promotion and success of the benefit. Coaches to Meet in City Tomorrow Basketball and spring sports schedules will be drafted in Indianapolis tomorrow during the spring meeting of the Indiana Intercollegiate Coaches Association, it was announced today by William V. Slyker. Evansville, president. Drawing of the schedules will be followed by a business meeting and a banquet. MICHIGAN SWIMMERS REGAIN WORLD RECORD By United Pres ANN ARBOR. Mich., March 21. University of Michigan’s 18-man free style swimming team broke the world mile relay record, held by Yale, last night by swimming the distance in 16 minutes and 22 1-5 seconds.

According to Coach Mari Mann, the’ Michigan swimmers are scheduled to meet a Yale team March 29 in the national collegiate meet to be held at Harvard.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 21,1935

The Cook's Goldblume combination made the best team showing for the Indianapolis squads, collect ing a total of 2810 pins for its three | games. But even this series was several pins short for tenth place. Larry Fox and Johnny Fehr set the pace as the Cookmen got away to an impressive 972 in their initial whirl. But seven misses and 14 splits skidded them to 924 and 914 in the two final games. Fehr bumped into additional trouble when a foul disqualified a perfect pocket hit. Fox paced the Cook's individuals with 596. Other Goldblume totals were; Lee Carmin, 584; Fehr, 558; Eddie Striebeck, 555, and the veteran, Jess Pritchett, was tagged by bad luck as he hit into five splits while totaling 517. Indianapolis Gains Support Attracting interest tantamount to the actual A. B. C. play is the neated race beween Indianapolis and Cleveland to land the site for the 1936 edition of this event. Prospects brightened hourly today for the Indianapolis campaigners as several of the larger western cities and a few eastern powers promised their aid in the balloting tomorrow afternoon. Chicago, loaded with 82 votes, is reliably reported to prefer Indianapolis, and probably will play a key part in determining the outcome. ! Numerous representatives from all parts of the country streamed into the Hoosier headquarters in the Hotel Syracuse yesterday and today to obtain propaganda pamphlets and posters boosting the Indiana city. Buffalo May Swing The Clevelanders are making a despjrate fight, but an unofficial check-up this morning revealed they still were lagging by s<~ ne 200 votes. However, Buffalo and Detroit, holding more than 80 ballots, have not yet annonuced their preference. Buffalo is expected to swing to Indianapolis, so that it may have a chance to regain the event for the East in 1937. Though the Syracuse towns-peoplc decidedly favor the Hoosiers. the local bowling delegation was pledged to Cleveland during the Peoria meeting last year. The Underwood Transfer squad followed + he Cookmen for Indianapolis honors last night, posting a triple-game total of 2782. O’Grady j equalled Fox’ 596 series, while | other scores for the Transfers were: 595 by Blue, 565 by Goodhue, 539 by Boesnecker, and 487 by King. The Hoosier Pete aggregation wound up in third place with a collection of 2742. The remaining 24 squads from tonight at 8:30, and a number of individuals in the large Hoo.ner delegation will participate in the singles and doubles events du; ing the day. Harry Johnson of the Citizen’s Gas Cos. No. 4, and Herman Bohne of the Marolt Freeman Shoes, were the only Indianapolis representatives to fire a pair of double century games, but neither of these were able to connect in his third try. Amid the cheers of 1500 spectators, the 24 teams from Indianapolis took over every one of the 24 tournament alleys on the 10:30 shift. The Cook's Goldblumes and Falls City teams were given a great ova- ! lion as they stepped on the floor. Among the outstanding teams due to appear on tonight’s schedule are , the Indianapolis Hotel Association, j Gregory <fc Appels, Fox Jail House, j Marmon Herringtons and Russet Cafeteria. Indianapolis visitors were busy ; campaigning for the 1936 event, and j during the course of the day were pledged the support of the 35 votes i from St, Louis. Other western cities were swinging toward the Indirtnapj olis site but most of the Eastern delegates were stringing along with ' Cleveland. Bob Hughes led the Indianapolis representatives as they marched to their alleys shortly before 10:30 last * night, Clarence Russell of the CitiI zen’s Gas Cos. delivered the initial | ball, and struck in his attempt, j Every one of the 24 Indianapolis ; teams on the late squad was well ' uniformed. Jess Pritchett got off to a bad start, totaling 147 in his first game. Joe Falcaro, Chuck Collier and Judge Howard occupied a box and cheered the Hoosier delegation as they marched in. “Chesty Joe” was ! giving Paul Crosier a few tips during the evening. Frank Black was present with his favorite pipe, but it failed to aid him in his pingathering. Bob Bryson and Eddie Meyer were interested spectators at the! session. Eddie came down from , New York to lend his aid to the tournament site-seekers. Radio station WFBM broadcast ! during the Hoosier invasion. Joe Danna got away on a big start but could not hold the pace. Walt Heckntan and Leo Ahearn drove over and were among those present last night. Eddie Boerger was busy getting autographs of ten-pin luminaries. Billy Sixty and Andy Varipapas were among the interested spectators. Carl Kiefer went through some acrobatic stunts after every delivery. but just couldn’t locate the pocket. The Coca-Colas and B. <fe O. Railroad teams, which shot on the 8:30 shift, also fell by the wayside and failed to dent tha standings.
