SpteTOQ;akJ I' I A: Little Dope on the Phitty Series By Al Demaree, Gian ' oHhXppen ' -S thbaliGO BETTER NOT LET HIM GET TOO EMb A t-EAD M j, I Withdrawal of Hawthorn Drops Big Sum at Derby Was Backed With $100,000 to Win; May Enter Kentucky Handicap, Richest Turf Event of Season; Spring Outlook Bright. ' By JACK SALLEE. tt OUlSVILTiE, KyM May 10. Bet I ting in winter boohs did not J i prove nroftable to tho majority of players in Kentucky, and os I peciaHy Louisville, this spring. "By tbo wiltidiawhl of Hawthorn, tbe favorite. i from tbo Kentucky derby, it is osti i mated that over $75,000 was lost by ! those who took a flyer on the big son ? of Hastings, which seemed to havo a V walkover in the derby which was run at Churchill Downs today. A quarter f of the a'bovo sum was wagered on He- lios, making the total, in round num ' bers, reach $100,000. Ji Both Hawthorn and Helios, geldings t and first and, second choices, rcspoc : tively. in tho Kentucky classic, were plaved heavily by tho iaithful public. Hofios wont, "wrong in training, and b then Hawthorn way taken ill at Icoc I' ington. Ho was brought back to J Louisvillo this week, and Trainer Trea voy hopes to rnco the big golding some ''.time within tbe next week iu one of if the stakes at tho Downs. ' "Wise horsemen point out tho fact Llhat winter favorites rarely ever get anything in tho derby. This was par ticularlv true in 1010, and also this year, tn 1910 WaMo, winner of the r futurity tho year befor.0, looked like a certainly. Ho trained well nnd Owner . Harrison had already accounted the , big race aa run und won. The son of Plnnudos went wrong in a derby trial three days before tho race, Owner Harrison camo to Louisville to watch the work of Waldo and Jockey V. Powers, who was to , have ridden him, was in tho raddle. After reelintr off a mile of his journey, Walso began to limp and Hiihscquent investigation showed that he had injured a tendon. Sin co then the great colt hns not shown anything on tho turf. Tn 191 Governor Gray was the win : tor favorite, and yet Meridian took his measure in tho derby. Another favor , ito to go by tho boards was Miami In -1909. Johnson Camden be!deved that Miami had a bettor chance of winning . the raco than ho believed -Helios had j this year. The Camden horse was 1 inudo favorite in the winter books, but ' AVintergrcen, Rome Kespess's Dick Welles colt, took bis measure when f they met at Churchill Downs. There is a long list of them which stand out as a waxmiijr to the ever-gullible public, which is. fascinated by apparent juicy odds on horses which scorn pounds bet ier than their rivals. Bnt it is safe , to predict that in 1914, Little Nephew, Dick DcMlie. Old "Rosebud or some other star of the present season, will carry a lot of plnv on their chances in the Kentucky derby, rmst failures notwith-standing-. According to bookmakers; it is always a 2 to 1 chance that the . horse jpla3'ed will never get to the pott. 1 Spring racintr has developed somo j ehifty racers this year which are he- lieved tn bo good enough to account for some of tho plums which havo been hung up by tho Kentuckj jockey clubs. Among those which look oxtrnordinari ly good nro Little Tenhew and Impera-'-.tor. 2.ycar-olds, and Flora Fina, in the f older division. Until this spring FloTa ' Fina was not looked upon as a high ' class racer, but tho way -she took the Hj Phoenirc Hotel handicap and the Cam- , ,. den handicap make her figure one of -tho best racers now in Kentucky. Sho is by Oedop and out of tho great raco mare. Floral Pomona. With tho Kentucky dorby out of tho way. horsemen aro looking forward to the running of the Kentucky handicap Hj opening day at Douglas park. This will . be the richest ovent on the American turf this enring. its valuation going - above tho $11,000 mark. In this raco aro entered- somo of the best distance 'horses in the land.

Owner Charles Buschmeyor believes that Hawthorn will be ready to get toi the post that day in the pink of condi tion. If tho gelding has his former turn of speed, he "will give Ten Point and tho rost of them a hard tussle to the vriro. The array of horses to go to tho post in the Kentucky handicap ia just as good as those which sported silks on tho metropolitan tracks in by gone days. A glimpse into tho class of. horses entered is convincing. H. C. HaJlen beck has threo entered and tho best will go to the post. Ho has Adams Ex press, Eolling Stono and Frederick L. entered, while Yankee Notions is the hop of tho Knapp stable. If The Managoris road3. T. C. HcDowcll will start him; Hawthorn, Helios, Ten Point, Leocharea and othor good ones will represent this year's crop of 3-year-olds. Johnny Schorr will have tho latter alone with Froglegs and Star Charter wearing his colors, while J. Jl. Wuinwright believes in his famous old Oddfellow gelding, High Private. "Rod Mackenzie, tho Canadian, will sand Buckhorn to the post, and the Star Shoot colt is likoliy to take tho fncnstire of the rest, as ho is speedy and has more stamina than but a few horses in training. Spring rncing. judginir by the condi tions existing at Lexington, will bo more successful this spring than in many years. Tbe association course not only gnvo the best meeting in its historv and jrave away more money, but had a nice balance loft. This means that, tho track at Lexington is now out of debt. For four years tho members of the jockey club there have been saving and scraping trying to got out of debt, und it is nlmorfc certain that thev have succeeded. Dotrglns park, which breaks into the spring f?onson for the first time, also has hiorh hones of breaking on the right side of the ledger. On account of the fnct that the Douglas park track is farther from tho city than Churchill Downs, the public has not been in clined to. attend tho meotings thero to the same extent as the Downs. By a-iving- larrer purses, therebv attracting the best thoroughbreds in the countrv. Manager Hachmeister feels certain that tho old trotting track will hang up a new mark for attendance this spring.

Hero is tho way Konneith tells it: "Everything went along; swim mingly until tbe day before tho 1 bout. Thou Dundee was seized with a Btubborn stomach ailment. I troatcd him and administered mediclno, but tho little follow be came gloomy. When we had him on the slab at the training quarters he cried and said, 'Hero is ono fight in which I am going tovbe beaten.' "Wo did our bost to cheer him up, and nftor a whilo he grew bet ter and I heard no further com plaint. We aro well satisfied with tho result, bat, just the same, I'm thinking that if Johnny had not had. that touch of sickness the day before the fight, he could havo taken Kilbane 's championship away from him." Matters- are" in such Bhape, of courHo, that there will have to be another bout. It ia up to Kilbane to force the issue, for as long as things remain as they are, there will bo a cloud on his title.

Track and Field Stars Who Are Expected to Win the Points Necessary to Give Utah Another Championship Five Men Carry "U" Hope for Intercollegiate and Con ference Victories. ALTHOUGH tho track and field ath letes of the University of Utah arc displaying promising: strength as a whole, there are five mon upon whom Coach Bcnnlon and the stu dents haso their hope for a victory In the state Intercollegiate and tho Rocky Mountain conference meets. These five men aro Flugel, Jamison. Hopkins. Cole and Travers, v.ho thus far have proved their caliber by winning; most of the points for tholr school In meets held to date. There Is Mttlo question but that Flugel can beat any man In the state at the quartor-mlle, with tho possible excep tion of Ed Peterson, and Flagel and Peterson are teammates, A comparison of time records shows that Flagel Is In the class with tho best ouarter-mllers i in Colorado. Jamison has found all the distance men in tho stale easy picking, and the fact that at present he holds the Colorado state record for tho mllo shows how ho stands with Uio distance men of that state. Captain Cole Is a roller of no less repute than Jamison. Tho students feel that with these two men In the half and the mile, first and osccond places aro cinched. PJIther man can run the inilo around 4A0 and can cut tho half closo to 2:01. If ono should bake or get sick the other would win. It is a matter of getting the points with theso two men and they pity little atten tion to the order they finish in except that they both beat the best opponent Hopkins and Travers aro both sprint mon and both aro good. Either one can do the 100-yard dash in 10 Deconde flat or 10 1-6, and either can clip off the 220 tn 23-1 seconds. Hopkins holds the pres ent high school state record In the low hurdles and is a good broad Jumper. Along with these men Peterson and IiOfgrecn might woll appear. Thc3o men aro sure point winners In the state meet. "Poto" as a runner and Lofgreen with jtho weights, but It Is a question whether ! they would fare so well against the fast Colorado men. Tn the big conferonce meet at Boulder a week from next Sat urday thero Is bound to bo a big divi sion of points and with these men who aro cortaln of their events, Bcnnlon hopes to pull down another championship.

PLAYING the bip hotels and feed ing on tho dining cars ia quite a treat to somo of the major league recruits who havo just graduated from a class Q league, Amer ican plan hotels at $5 per day, and an allowance of from $3 to $5 a day for moals while malting a numP from one city to tho other, aro unheard of luxu ries in the buahea. Somo of the boys have the habit of getting off at a sta tion aud grabbing a sandwich and a cup of coffee so strongly, that it takes them quite u whilo to realizo that they have, $1.50 for each meal. Last year I happened to bo making a jump onst with tho St. Louis club, which at that time was trying out a number of now recruits. In fact, the veteran Jack Powell insisted that there wore so many new men on the club that the secretary spent at least twen ty minutes each morning introducing the later arrivals. Two of the recruits", both of whom havo since passed back to tho minors, had spefit the previous year in some vory small southorn organ ization.

Aa the last ono sat down at tho table he remarked: "Well, old boy, this must seem liko Christmas to you.

"Do you suppose these bright lights and fast moving trains will affect our appetite?" "I don't know, but I am going to find out vory shortly." "Whatthavo yo'j-ordercd?" "Nothing as yet; but there is one thing T am not going to order; lamb chops." ''Why?" "Lamp the bill-o'-fnrc and you will understand. Why a follow ought to bo able to buy the whole lamb for the price asked." The other recruit heartily agreed with him when ho read: lamb chops (2) GO (3) 75. (Copyright, 1913, hj W. G. Evans.) M'CONNER IN DILEMMA; CHALLENGER SILENT B. T. McConnor, well known In local automobile circles. Is wonderlnpr how to make a wager and make It stick. News permeated to him during tho week that another auto dealer had expressed a verbal willingness to back the Premier against the Speedwell car at odds of two to one, even expressing doubt that the Speedwell occupants could got near enough to eat the Premier's dust. So McConnor traveled over to the Pre mier hcadciuarters with much "kale" and an avowed willingness to wagor It. Thero wns nothing doing, he says. Noth ing at all; In fact, the atmosphere was so chilly that he couldn't warm up a cent wager. So ho left. Now ho la wonder ing how to get that wagor made. Sug gestions as to handicapping will bo thankfully received, says McConnor.
