LOCTSVILLE. KT., May 12. Eighteen of the finest thoroughbreds that the whole world could produce are entered in the forty-third Kentucky Derby, which will be run over the Churchill Downs course this afternoon. The field will be the largest that has ever faced tha barrier In the Derby. While eighteen horses may not actually go to the post, eighteen are entered. and the withdrawals will be mighty scarce because of the fair weather prevail in. It rained yesterday morning and the track -us a trifle wet. but the sun got on the Job yesterday afternoon and the course Is drying out speedily. Every Indication points to the fact that today's Derby will be the greatest ever contested. The best thoroughbreds that America and Europe could produce are entered in the marathon, which is worth $20,000 to the winner. There will be an International flavor to the race this time, where intersectional rivalry held sway in previous years. Great Crowd on Hand. People have been thronging to Louisville during the whole week and tonight the hotels and streets are crowded with turf fans who are talking nothing but the Derby. It is a very open race, and for that reason the bugs are having a tough time trying to land upon one colt that seems more certain to win than the others. Ticket. Andrew Miller's colt, is the most talked of colt in the race at the present time. The good races that Ticket won during the Lexington meeting have boosted his stock considerable and there is a splendid chance for his going to

the post a! slight favorite. Omar Khayyam, although he did not race well at

Lexington, is geUIng a bulk of the play j because of his excellent workouts. Ex- J perts seem to agree that his poor showing at Lextington should be blue-pencil- 1

ed and let it go at that. Many Like the Stars. The A. K. Macomber entry, consisting of War Star. Star Master and Star Gazer, lost some of its supporters when North Star III dropped out. but Is still drawing a lot of play. Skeptic, H. H. Hewett's entry, is also well thought of. Berlin. J. S. Ward's colt, is the hope of the West in this classic. Th colt with the pro-Teuton name has staged several workouts of the sensational order here and must be reckoned with. Rickety. Harry Payne Whitney's entry, is being boosted by quite a few. James Rowe. Whitney's trainer. Is one of the best in the land and he claims that he has a good chance with Rickety.

WEST HAMMOND BALLPARK OPENS At West Hammond ball- rark Sunday afternoon the Columbia A. C Juniors, formerly the Central A. C, will play the Colonel Giants of Hammond.

By H. C. HAMILTON

(United Tiesa Staff Correspondent.) NEW TORK. May 12. Hans ner's failure to show up this spring and the continued absence of his name from l ox-scores is only one of many j similar absences. Famous athletes ho i have played the game for many long; years nrc out now, and others of the ;

veterans brigade are slowly slipping back to private life. Sam Crawford is about the only one of th old-time school of ball players left in the big leagues, and Sam's principal duty is to bat in the pinches. Recently he has been plaj ing first base. Napoleon Ijoie. grand old man of the second Backers. Is not a major l guer this year. He is managing a club in the International league out of the fight in the big circuits, for the first time in more years than many baseball players have lived. John Ever, mainspring of the old Cubs, and principal cog in the new Braves, is a bench warmer these days. A strained shoulder and strained nerves hae combined to keep him out of active participation. Vagner's case is just a matter of growing too old for the game. Rheumatism has attacked the wonderful old fellow. His eyes-are not so good as they once were. lie couldn't stand the rigors of spring training, so he stayed at home and got married this year. Wagner's retirement from active life on the diamond brings to a close a most ilustrious career. Whenever one speaks of shortstops and their relative abilities. Wagner's name is always omitted. He was too good for others to be compared with him. There isn't one of the new clan who rates along with him none in sight. In fact, there are few

ball players in any position who deserve the honor of being compared with Wagner. The same thing can be said of Napoleon Lajoie. For grace in action, ability with the bat and all around usefulness he never had an equal. There have lieen great second basemen and there are now. but they're no Lajoies. John Evcrs is of the same general usefulness and probably has another year of baseball left. He never was as good as l.ajoie as a batsman however, and probably not quite so good a fielder, but his nimble brain and energy carried him to inspired heights not attained by the younger ones.

ELEVEN I. U. MEDICS ENLIST IN THE NAVY ' RESERVE SCHOOL Nine members of the senior class of the Indiana University School of Medicine, nnd two young doctors who were graduated last year, left yesterday afternoon for Washington, where they will enter upon a period of training at the school of the naval medical reserves. The training will take from four to six months, and the men have enlisted for a full Jour years' term. They were given an enthusiastic "Hcnd-off at the Union Station by a large number of their friends.-who waved flags and cheered as the train rulled out.

The more serious the purchase of a car is to your family, the more seriously you should consider Overland. Consider what a guarantee it is to own a car backed by a company with S6S,000,()00 assets; with an army of workmen that would populate a good sized city; with acres and acre3 of modern factories, and more than 4,000 dealers and branches. The magnitude of The Willys-Overland Company is due to its management: due to the practical policy of utilizing prodigious production as a means to higher quality and lower prices. The Willys-Overland Company guards its obligation to the owners of its cars as seriously as a conservative bank protects the

interest of its depositors, large and small. The Willys-Overland i3 predicated upon the need for cars of beauty, comfort and convenience in addition to long-lived utility. y The average family can participate in the luxuries of motoring because hundreds of thousands of other owners enable The WillysOverland Company to distribute and bring down cost3. Such a car as the Overland Big Four would never have been possible at such a price as $S93 had it not been for over 300,000 similar Overlands which have already gone into service. Come in and see the Overland Big Four and the most comprehensive line of motor cars ever built by any one producer.

That's its size: Three and seventyfive hundredths inches in the cross section. And it's an inch bigger too in the circumference. Its heroic size, however, is designed to fit 30-inch rims cn Ford cars. It is made solely with the fivefinger safety tread. It costs but little more than ordinary tires at the outset; and the nattier appearance and added comfort it gives your Ford car, and its own greater dollar ECONOMY, make it the better buy in the end.
