By Joe Williams m a * Smith ScoiTs at Chance Sun a tr • Says Derby to Be Open Race 9 9 9 Pony McAtee to Ride Again

■

£OLUMBIA, S. C., April 11.—" It's a dead open race and there ain't nobody to beat.” There you have succinctly if somewhat inelegantly a preview of the impending Kentucky Derby as it seems to Whistling Bob Smith, the old prize fight gent, who saddled the winner a year ago, the Brookmeade Stable's great C avalcade. "We’ve got just as good a chance as anybody else," grumbled the old prize fight gent as he barkfed out orders to grooms, stable hands and porters making ready for the shipment back home. "Our Psychic Bid was good enough to win the Hopeful last year and he may be good enough tc take it ail at Louisville,” continued the old prize fight gent. “Special Agent is a real good col!, too, and if Young Native can go the distance he’ll win a lot of races.” All three of these colts are eligible for the Derby but the old prize fight gent is going to start only two of them, probably Psychic Bid and Young Native. I have a hunch he plans to hold Special Agent out for the Belmont, a richer and a later race. This may be a tipoff that he likes the Agent best of the three. B B B a u a A LARGE number of race-wise people seem to think J. E. Widener's . Chance Sun will be the horse they'll have to beat when the barrier is sprung for the most colorful race on the American turf early next month. But when you remind the old prize fight gent of this he scoffs: ' How do they get that way?” • That colt's named wrong In the first place.” insists the old prize fight gent. “He ought to be named Chance Mud. He can t run in the sun. Only chanee he’s got is in the mud. Gs course if it comes mud and plenty of it, he may do it. but even then I'll have to see it first.” n a a a a a AT the same time it seems to me that the old prize fight gent can’t be very high on his own hand in the Derby when he says it is an open race and "there ain't nobody to beat.” It may be of course that his association with the Brown Thunderer, meaning Cavalcade, has made him super-critical of ordinary horseflesh. Still, If he says it's an open race. I’ll be the last to go into debate with him. He was 100 per cent right on the Derby a year ago. He said Cavalcade would win under a pull. At that time the Thunderer had won but two races out of eleven starts. In one of these he was a 90-to-l shot. You know what happened. He was running over horses tyi the stretch, the most solid $5 to $2 investment any race ever offered. a a a a a a THE old prize fight gent tells me he'd feel a lot safer about his chances in the Derby if he had a good jockey. All he's got now to speak of is second call on Bobby Jones, who rode High Quest, one of his horses, to victory over Cavalcade in the Preakness last year. I hadn't heard of there being a shortage of Jockeys. “Well there is,” said the old prize fight gent. “There ain't enough good youngsters coming up and the veterans are getting too timid. They won't run in next to the rail and try to break through. That's what was wrong with Mack Garner last year. He had so many responsibilities he couldn't afford to take a chance. And I guess you couldn’t blame him at that.” a f a a a a Q PEAKING of veteran jockeys, there's one down here starting a comeback. Everybody who has followed the oat munchers knows him. His name is Pony McAtee. He quit riding some time ago because his pay was cut and he had saved enough money to take it easy. I don’t know whether his money ran out or the old urge to boot ’em home again struck him. but at any rate he’s back, doing road work, galloping horses and playing golf to get in shape. The Pony was one of the greatest jocks the turf ever saw. He rated right along with Sande and Fator. He won the Derby twice, first with Whiskery and later with Clyde Van Dusen. Asa matter of fact he has won about every famous race the country has to offer.

Dean confessed to Commissioner K. M. Landis after yesterday's investigation into Dizzy's high finances that he was "mighty tired.” "I have to rush back to St. Louis and get some rest, Judge, so I'll be in shape to open the season,” said Dean. "Why don’t you take better care of yourself?” Landis asked. "You can’t do it, Judge,” said Dizzy, "if you don't talk to people, sign autographs and do what you can to accommodate them they get sore at you. I don't w-ant to make people sore. They'll think I have the big head. I try to do anything I can for them, but it sure is cutting in on my time and wearing me down.” "Well,” the w-hite haired judge said sternly, "you owe it to yourself to see that you are in shape to play your best.” Dean hasn’t won an exhibition game this spring, and has been hammered harder than any other pitcher on the Cardinal's staff. *'A couple of times I was lucky enough to get the side out,” he confessed. Dizzy will pitch the opening game against the Cubs, the hardest team in the league for him to beat. He says that as soon as the chips are down he'll regain the form which enabled him to win 30 games last season.

TRESTER POSTS H. S. TRACK, GOLF DATES

State Basket Tourney Is Up for Discussion Meetings Set for 16 Cities Tonight; 69 Principals to Attend Here. BY DICK MILLER Times Sports Writer The first step in a referendum among school authorities on the question: “What, if anything, is wrong with the present system of staging the annual state high school basketball tournament?” will be taken tonight when principals of 800 schools —members of the Indiana High School Athletic Association—meet in 16 sectional centers. In addition to calling the meeting of the principals to discuss the basketball question tonight the Board of Control today announced programs for the sectional and state track meets and the state golf tournament. Sectional track meets will be held in 15 centers on May 11 with the final meet at Butler University, May 18. The golf meet will be held at Speedway course here May 18. Council members of the I. H. S. A. A. will act as chairmen of the various meetings, and principals attending are to be allowed to discuss any subjects they care to so long as they refer to the present plan of operating the state tournament or to plans of changes. The Indianapolis meeting will be held at Broad Ripple High School and will be in charge of K. V. Ammerman, principal of that school, and H. E. Sanford, Covington, Ind., both members of the council body. Sixty-seven other principals have been invited to attend the local gathering.

No Suggestions Made Other meetings will be held in Boonville, Crawfordsville, Crown Point, Ft. Wayne, Kokomo, Milan, Muncie, La Porte, Lafayette, Ricnmond, Salem, Seymour, Sullivan, Warsaw and Washington. For more than five years the I. H. S. A. A. board of control, through the medium of its periodic bulletins, has solicited suggestions from principals, athletic directors and coaches on any changes that might be sought in the management of the various tournaments and meets sponsored by the organization. These suggestions were to be made in the form of proposals to be drawn up by principals and submitted to the annual October meeting of the council. Agitation Not Evident That no proposals have been forthcoming concerning the state basketball tournament may or may not be significant. It is felt the principals reflect the sentiments of their communities and, since none of them has suggested ideas or demands for a change, it is felt there is no clamor among the populace in general for a change from the present net tourney system of a sectional, regional and two-day, 15-game final tournament. A. L. Trester, commissioner of the I. H. S. A. A., said it is possible the board may in the near future hold a mail vote referendum on the state tournament question. He said the sectional meetings tonight will not vote upon any question, and no council session had been called for the near future for the members to discuss anything the chairmen of the meetings might gather from listening. Much has been said during the last few weeks about the state tournament. The state Legislature that recently adjourned considered and voted upon a bill introduced by one of its members that, if passed, would have limited any high school boy to participation in not more than two basketball games within a 24-hour period. Suggest McMurray Influence The bill failed to come out of the committee and it is understood that Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, promised his department would handle the matter. Whether or not the meetings tonight are at his urge can not be learned. Since some conferences of the state already has gone on record as favoring change, ranging from reduction of the final tournament of 16. teams to eight for play over the two-day period, to addition of another week to the tournament, with a final field of four, and even suggestion of complete abolishment of the tournament, it is felt that the principals may now have something to say. They have been urged during the past week to learn the wishes of their constituents and report them. Golf Meet 18 Holes Sectional track meets will be held at Anderson, Bloomington, Elkhart, Evansville ißosse), Ft. Wayne 'South Side), Gary, Indianapolis 'Technical), Kentland. Lafayette, Marion, Mishawaka. New Albany, Rushville. Terre Haut (Wiley) and Vincennes. The usual eligibility requirements for the track meets will prevail, such as maximum time and minimum distance for each potential contestant to have been made under fair conditions. All winning relay teams and first and second place winners in the sectional meets will be eligible to compete in the state meet. The state golf meet will be an 18hole medal test. Each school may enter six players, but a team of four must be designated before the start of the tournament at 9 a. m. The three lowest individual scorers will receive medals. In case of a tie the winner will be declared by lot. In case of a tie between the four-man teams, duplicate trophies will be awarded to each school.

Hurry Home, ‘Old Hoss’

• *■••• jL*-

Riggs Stephenson THE Indianapolis Indians have color as well as experienced players this season with Riggs (Old Hoss) Stephenson and Jumbo Jim Elliott on the team. Stephenson is back with the Tribe after several years with the Chicago Cubs, who purchased him from Indianapolis in 1926. Probably no other player in the big leagues was a more consistent .300 hitter than Stevie. He is demonstrating that he still can sock the apple in training with the Indians at Mayfield, Ky. He has been playing in left field. A warn “welcome home” awaits the veteran on his arrival here with the Ti'be late Sunday. Riggs is called “Old Hoss” because he is always pulling in the right direction with both shoulders in the harness.

'New Champions Collect Bowling Congress Money

By United Press SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 11.—Four new champions today held titles for 1935 in the thirty-fifth annual American Bowling Congress which closed last night. Diamond-studded medals and SIOOO in cash from the $93,106 prize fund went to the Wolfe's Tire fiveman team from Niagara Falls, N. Y., with the top score of 3029. Medals and proportionate cash were won by Clyde Sumerix and Harry Souers of Akron, 0.. doubles champions, with a 1348 score; Don Phillips Gives Track Views at Shortridge “Track should be made as showy as football or basketball in order to attract the spectators,” said Hermon Phillips, Butler University track coach, in an address yesterday before the Shortridge High School student body. "Track is a sport in which the individual boys must build by himself. He gets no help from others,” continued Coach Phillips. "It makes more of a man out of a boy than any other sport. Encouragement helps a lot. but it takes individual confidence to win, and the boy has to win by his own efforts.” The members of the Blue Devils track team who will compete against Jeff of Lafayette tomorrow were introduced by Coach Don R. Knight. It was the first track pep session ever held at Shortridge.

He remarked: ‘This is my third year in the American Association as Indianapolis manager and I think this outfit under my wing is entitled to the rating of dan. horse .flag winner.” The Indians landed in Memphis at noon yesterday, coming by bus from Mayfield, Ky. They went out to the home of the Chicks and started batting practice. A downpour chased them off the field. The

Hens tomorrow and Saturday. Jim Turner and Myles Thomas are slated for Tribe mound duty today and tomorrow in Mayfield. Vance Page and Hal Chamberlain are expected to receive the “call.” Turner has been promised the openlumbus Tuesday if he shows well this afternoon. Myles Thomas, who pitched himself into shape in Florida, evidently is Killefer's No. 2 hurler at present. The Tribe chieftain has been backed against the wall by the weather and is more or less at sea on the lineup of his mound staff. Only two full games and five innings of another have been played and he will have to gamble on his judgment in picking pitchers for the early championship contests. Frank Sigafoos, the former idol of Indianapolis fans, is playing with the Memphis Chicks. He was tried out at third base and developed a sore arm. Fred Hoffman, former b*g league catcher, is the new Memphis manager. He was recommended to Prexy Tom Watkins of the Chicks bv Manager Killefer of the Hoosiers. Ernie Smith, infielder with Minneapolis last year, joined the Chicks yesterday. He will be assigned to shortstop. The jinx laughed at the Indians again yesterday. Mayfield finally enjoyed a sunny day. But the Hoosiers happened to be in Memphis. Some sections of this part of the South are under deep water and the Indians will be mighty glad when they land north of the Ohio River. Flood news takes the headlines over baseball down here now. SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS ALIGN WITH LEAGUE The Indianapolis Democrats softball team, last year’s city champs, will play in the Smith-Hassler-Sturm night league this season, with one of the strongest lineups in the state, and will bring many of the state’s outstanding aggregations to this city for games. Vic McGuire again will be at the helm, and Carl Martin, Chcriey Shipp, Ralph Barr, Dick Hayden, Hoagy O'Gara and Cannonball Bailey will be included in the lineup. The initial workout will be held Sunday morning at Willard Park. More than 30 candidates are expected.

Dodgers Give Him Contract

R;/ Unite* Per m TTITASHINGTON. and c„ April ** 11. —Old Dazzy Vance, who for 10 years hurled streaks of lightning from the Brooklyn pitching mound, today was back with the Dodgers on a one-year contract. The signing of the 42-year-old ex-king of strikeouts was announced today by Manager Casey Stengel, who called him to the club for a tryout 10 days ago upon his release by the St. Louis Cardinals. Most of the hum has left the fast ball which leaped from the frayed right sleeve of his undershirt while he toiled for the Dodgers from 1922 to 1932. but his cunning will get him by on relief fluty, Stengel said.

Tigers Win With Rowe on Mound White’s Homer Breaks Up Game With Reds. By United Press LYNCHBURG. Va., April 11.—'The Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Tigers moved here today from Durham, N.
