NEW YORK, May 9 That much exploited East vs. West element of Mr. Kipling's fonJ fancy lies as heavy as a bootlegger's conscience over the running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

The owner himself la equally confident he Is strongly backing his entries. It is said, and offering to "lay" Morvich. That will sound like rank heresay to the eaat.

Burns Is all that his advance notices say, and more. His command over the cue Is really wonderful, position seeming to come natural to him, and many of his shots arouse great applause. He Inoluded In his program about 50 trick shots, all of which were performed with out the least semblance of a mtf. Burns is also a continuous pocket billiard player of some renown, and yesterday afternoon made a high run of 95 balls at this style of same. This is probably the highest run ever compiled In Edmonton."
