'FOX MADE COFAVORITE IN DERBY

Quoted W ith Stagehand at Oddsof3to1

Menow, Bull Lea, Dauber And Can't Wait Also Have Supporters.

By STUART CAMERON United Press Sperts Editor NEW YORK, May 2 ((U. P).—Whet your appetites for Kentucky Derby fodder this week because news about the 64th running of America’s premier horse race is going to be the main dish on the sports menu until sundown Saturday. Right now Maxwell Howard's Stagehand and William Woodward's Fighting Fox are cofavorites to win the 3-year-old classic, but at no time has there been so many formidable candidates equipped to overtake the pacemaker. When the webbing is sprung for the sixth race at historic Churchill Downs next Saturday, Menow, Hal Price Headley's world record holder at 6% furlongs, is almost sure tu get the jump on the field. But in recent years the pacesetter has failed to carry through in the stretch drive, and past performances indicate Headley's sprinter will not last long after the seven-eighths pole. In addition to Stagehand and Fighting Fox, ycu have Calumet Farm's Bull Lea, Foxcatcher Farm's Dauber and Myron Selznick's California beauty Can't Wait, all capable of staying close enough te the pace to step out in front at first signs of a faltering leader.

Price Hammered Down

Stagehand was made the winter book favorite at 5-1 after winning the Derby and Handicap at Santa Anita. Heavy backing hammered his price down to 3-1 where it appeared alone until Fighting Fox scored his brilliant triumph in th: Wood Memorial Stakes at Jamaica Saturday. Odds on the Fox now are 3-1 also. There still are 19 eligibles to the Derby, but the field probably will be trimmed to 15 or less after tomorrow’s one-mile Derby trial at Louisville. Among the eligibles to the latter are Stagehand, The Chief, Menow, Lawrin, Redbreast, Mountain Ridge, Blind Eagle, Co-Sport, Bulli Lea and Elooto. If tomorrow's track is muddy, Trained Earl Sande may withdraw the Howard entry of Stagehand and The Chief, and conclude their prepping for Saturday’s event in private.

Piers to Grapple In Finish Bout

Henry Piers, 228, Holland heavyweight champ, instead of appearing in a one-fall bout, will see action in a finish match at the Armory tomorrow night. It will be for two falls out of three against Jim Wright, 235, Pacific Coast westler. Toss of a coin will decide which will be the final match of the card, the Wright-Piers encounter, or the tussie between Am Rascher, 218, Cedar Lake, Ind, and Ray Villmer, 219, young St. Louis husky. Piers made a hit in a close tug with Everett Marshall last Tuesday, forcing the former world’s champion all the way and grabbing one of three falls. Villmer, who meets Rascher, the former Indiana University football and mat star, has won his last four bouts. Am has been in the East and South for the last year. Pat Kelly and Pete Baltram mix in the opener.

Italian Speed King in ‘500°

Nuvolari Cables Entry for Big Race May 30.

Tazio Nuvolari, Italian race champion, today cabled his entry for the 500-mile race here on May 30, Speedway officials announced. The daring Italian is to drive an Alfa-Romeo 12-cylinder and his reputation is a guarantee

to a high degree, He has won many honors in Europe and in 1936 finished first in the 300-mile Vanderbilt Cup race at Roosevelt Raceway, Long Island. Nuvolari is the first foreign entry in an Indianapolis five-century classic since 1930 and there was a wild scramble at the Speedway office when Tazio's cable was received from Milan.

Entries Close Tonight

The entry deadline is tonight at midnight but any entry postmarked prior to midnight, May 2, will be accepted, according to the policy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. Early entries are being checked and compiled and a list will be announced tomorrow. Nuvolari, who is 47, has been driving race cars since he was 18. He started as a bike racer, changed to motorcycles and then to automobiles. The Italian has been in several crackups, but flirting with Gabriel in no way dampens his determination to win at all costs. Known as the “Madman of Modena,” Tazio has won every Grand Prix race in Europe during his career on the roaring road,

Kingan’s Held to 4 Hits by Elgin Star

The Kingan baseball team today planned intensive batting practice following its 4-to-1 setback at the

hands of the Elgin All-Stars in the |

opening game of the Tri-State League season at Perry Stadium yesterday. Only four hits rolled off the Kingan bats as they were handcuffed by Elgin's Negro twirler, southpaw Willie Foster. A twobase error on Fred Cato’s fly and a single by Powers accounted for the only Kingan run.

The Kingan nine will be in action before local fans again May 28 against the Zulu Cannibal Giants. Yesterday's score:

Leo Kaminsky, Indianapolis attorney, today told Scientech Club members that bureaucracy is making inroads into the tripartite form of government in the United States. He spoke at a noon luncheon at the Board of Trade, discussing the system’s growth in both the United States Federal Government and the Indiana State Government. He declared that the system “destroys initiative and ambition, submerges individualism and gradually encroaches on freedom, finally taking 1t away.” “Many bureaus are not evil, but when they are allowed to grow, they are malignant. Bureaucracy is difficult to weed out of government because of pressure brought to bear on Congressmen by those who live off the Government.” When Federal bureaucracy is cut down, states will follow, Mr. Kaminsky added.
