By Eddie Ash LOUISVILLE BOOSTS ITS DERBY a a a HOUSING BUREAU IS ORGANIZED
'P'HE Kentucky Derby is only three weeks away and perhaps by that time—May 2—the Ohio river will have quit acting up. At any rate, the lovers of fast horses hope that the classic will draw a clear day and with no inconveniences. Hoosierland contributes heavily to the Derby and thousands of fans from Indianapolis and other points over the state would have to be tied to prevent them from taking in the spectacle. Louisville is going to start celebrating several days in advance of the race and the program has been designated as Derby Festival Week, and the carnival this year promises to be more elaborate than ever, with special events scheduled for each day. * Carnival Night, when all downtown Louisville will be thrown open for a parade and a night of revelry, will be April 29. the Wednesday before Derby Saturday. Hoosier race goers will be interested to know that Louisville has tackled the housing problem by organizing a Housing Bureau of the Kentucky Derby Festival Association. To insure a share of the traditional “Kentucky hospitality” for every visitor, (he bureau has obtained the co-operation of thousands of citizens. Rooms and apartments in homes which ordinarily would not be open to strangers are available at reasonable rates. You can engage a room for any length of time—one night or seven nights. By writing to the Derby Housing Bureau and describing the type and price of lodging (with or without breakfast) you wish, you can reserve what the Derby Festival Association describes as ‘‘certified rooms.”
Savage and Speer to Meet in Long • Grappling Match Kentuckian Gets What He Requests at Armory. Daniel Boone Savage, the powerful Kentucky mountaineer, and Frank Speer, Atlanta husky, were matched today to top the all-star, all-heavyweight wrestling bill of Hercules A.

Bottled Bourbon, a seven-year-old, has never won a race. Its owner still is hoping it will improve with age. Maybe it’s that old prohibition brand of bourbon—made in the woodshed and bottled in the bam. n n a TED DUAY, young catcher, was born within a block of the New York Giant's Forty-second-st offices, but after a trial with his home city team this spring he wound up down at Greenwood, Miss., where ball players frequently are drafted to wrestle with sandbags on the levee when a flood threatens. a a a SEVERAL major league clubs plan to curtail training next spring.

Vance Page Is Expected to Face Blues in Lid-Lifter Indians Strive to Get in Some Belated Practice; Kansas City Pastimers Due Today. The weather man struck out in a pinch yesterday and the Indians were left on base as rain washed away the first "at home” practice at Perry Stadium. The Tribe pastimers were to try it again today around noon and practice until Manager Killefer called a halt.
The players have been idle since Sunday and the chief necessity now is to get in some hard work. The Kansas City Blues, the Indians’ opponents in the opening American Association game Sunday, were due here this afternoon and the park is to be shared with the visitors tomorrow. Chief Killefer has indicated his mound choice Sunday will be Vance Page or southpaw Stewart Bolen, but it is believed the former will drew the important assignment. It looks like Phil Page, a southpav, for Kansas City, although Pilot Zwilling also has coupled the lefthander with Bill Shores, a big righthander.
