Porter’ S Mite Favorite for

Anita Derby

Prize 3-Year-0lds to Race Tomorrow in Rich Coast Event.

SANTA ANITA PARK, Cal. Feb. ‘21. (U. P.).—Porter’s Mite became the advance favorite for the $50,000added Santa Anita Derby today as America’s foremost dropped the names of their best 3-year-olds through a white entry box and settled back to watch the weather. _The long-range forecast called! for a hard, fast track, but the probable size of the field. remained a puzzle. Some handicappers looked for as few as 10 starters. Others expected as many as 25. The field was drawn from the following candidates, the likeliest of 107 nominated three months ago for the mile and one-eighth event that will be run for the fifth time tomorrow: W. E. Boeing’s Porter's Mite, Norman Church’s, Sweet Nancy, King Ranch’s Ciencia, the ‘Taggart Stable’s Yale O’Nine, Mrs. B. Franzheim’s Xalapa Clown, Black Bun and Bugles Blow; A. G. Vanderbilt’s Impound and Hysterical; Hal Price Headley’s Volitation and Hants; Bert Baroni’s Touch and Go; ° Manhasset Stable’s Roman Hero, Louis B. Mayer's Mask and Wig, L. T. Whitehill’s Teddy Kerry, Fairmount Stable’s Bubbling Boy, Mrs. Frank Carreaud’s Time Alone, Neil McCarthy's Morning Breeze, Mrs. A. Pelleteri’s Naseberry, E. E. Fogelson’s Smart Crack, and Maj. Ral Parr’s War Moon.

Distinguished Field

One or two of a dozen more were "expected to go along on the gamble that ‘their chances in a large field would be worth the $100 entry fee and the additional $400 to start. Racing Secretary Webb Everett said the list would be posted this afternoon. All hands agreed that no matter

how few or how many break from the silver starting gate, they should comprise the most distinguished field in the brief history of the . Washington's Birthday classic. Porter’s Mite, who has drawn strong backing, won the Belmont Futurity and the Champagne Stake, and has the most imposing record. Track officials, virtually certain of sunny skies, expect a crowd of £0,000 and a pari-mutuel turnover of more than one million dollars. Added first money will total approximately $42,000, with $10,000 to second, $5000 to third and $2500 to fourth.

Tilt; Kautskys Trounced

The next professional basketball attraction at Butler Fieldhouse will

be between the New York Rens and.

the New York Celtcs next Monday night and maybe the Akron Firestones will be sent against the winner here at a later date. The Firestones indicated they were ready for any kind of tough competition when they swamped Indianapolis Kautskys last night, 64 to 40, in a National League tilt. The visitors monopolized the play at the outset and won as they pleased. As a matter of fact, the Fieldhouse “fell in on the Kautskys” and they were smotherad, 33 to 1%, at the half. :

High Scorers

Al Bonniwell paced the Firestones with 16 points and Jack Ozburn came through with 14. The local quintet finally got going in the last quarter and the belated rally enabled them to “win” that'quarter, 21 to 16.

Johnny Sines was Kautsky high scorer with 14 points on five field goals and four foul throws. Johnny Moir and Paul Nowak, Akron aces, were out of.action on account of injuries received in a hard game at Hammond Sunday.

Bruns and Brown At It Once More

Rival mat gladiators, Bob Bruns, 220, former Northwestern University athlete, and Orville Brown, 228, “Indian deathlock” hold exponent, headline the four-bout wrestling card of the Hercules A. C. tonight at the Armory, Brown is _from Wichita, Kas. The 8:30 opener finds Joe Campbell, 215, California, meeting Irish Dan O'Connor, 224, Boston, after which two newcoming light heavies collide. They are Whitey Wahlberg, Duluth, Minn., and Frankie Haft, Toronto. The “wrestling umpire,” Dick Powell, 245, West Virginia, tackles Jim McMillen, 229, Chicago, in the semi-windup. Bruns had never lost a local tussle until he fell before Orville’s “deathlock” grip last Tuesday. Bob asked for a return match and is anxious to even the score against the Kansan. There is an unusual amount of interest in the ‘match, according to Promoter Lloyd Carter, who looks for one of the best crowds of the season. It is for two falls out of three with supporting bouts being one-fall affairs.

Cunningham To Race Lash AtT [wo Miles

Fans Will Get Match They Have Been Talking About On March 4.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (U, P.).— Glenn Cunningham, mile specialist who realizes today he is inferior at a lesser distance, will step out of his class again March 4 to meet Don

Lash of the Indiana State Police at two miles in the footracing feature of the indoor track season. Invincible at a mile, Cunningham sought competition at 1000 yards and found too much of it in Johnny Borican, middle-distance sensation of the year, in the main attraction

last night. Borican, lanky Elberon, N. J., Negro, scored his eighth victory in 10 starts. ‘The Cunningham-Lash meeting, a special feature of the I. C. 4-A games at Madison Square Garden threatens to steal some of the spotlight from the National A. A. U. indoor championships at the Garden Saturday night. The race will send the holders of the world indoor mile and two-mile records against each other at a distance favoring Lash.

What Fans Asked For

EO is a test that track fans have been talking about for several sea-

Cunningham to sign for the longer haul. Frequently Lash has cut his specialty in half to try and give Cunningham a race, but so far has been unable to gain a victory. Lash, who formerly held the outdoor record at two miles, set the indoor standard of 8:58 at Boston in 1937. Cunningham, ex-holder . of the outdoor mile mark, boasts an indoor achievement that betters the present outdoor record. Glenn's 4:04.4 over the Dartmouth boards last season was the fastest mile ever run by man and compares with the 4:06.4 registered by Sydney Wooderson of Great Britain last summer. Glenn also holds the world indoor record at 1000 yards, the distance at which he was outclassed by Borican last night. His flame-scarred legs carried him to a 2:10.1 record in March, 1935. But with no special training for less than a mile, Glenn trailed Borican last night by five yards. The Jersey Negro broke the tape in 2:14.3, a record for the flat track of Newark Armory. It was Cunningham’s first defeat at any distance in eight starts this season.

.Deckard Bests Lash

Lash took a beating in his own two-mile backyard last night, but most observers believed he was experimenting with the last lap kick maneuver that enabled him to win the N. Y A. C. title last week. Little Tommy Deckard, former Indiana University running mate of Lash, popped into the lead with a half mile to go and Don's bell-lap sprint was not enough to close the gap. Deckard’s time of 9:15.2 was more than six seconds slower than Lash’s time in taking the N. Y. A. C. title.
