TURF FOLLOWERS WATCH TRYOUTS CLOSELY AS KENTUCKY RACE CLASSIC APPROACH! f
FTVE WHITNEY
NAGS IN DERBY
GETATTENTION
Easterners Entry Favored by
Many to Win—Donnaconna
Attracts Followers.
LOUISVILLE, May 6.—From the stable
of Harry Payne Whitney, New York mil
lionaire, is expected to come the win
ner of the forty-sixth eKntncky Derby,
to be run here Saturday.
Fire of Whitney's crack three-year
olds are prepared to start in the derby.
Damask. Wildair, J. P. Grier, Upset,
and Dr. Clark are believed ready.
However, Sterling's sensational work,
stepping a mile and a quarter with his
weight up in 1:06 at Churchill Downs
caused turf fans to wonder if their ool
cuLiticns would not have to he revised.
Sterling is by Herron, a sire that al
ready has one Derby winner this year,
Herron, winner of the Cuban stakes.
MUST BE GIVEN
CONSIDERATION.
Last season the Van Meter colt showed
flashes of form, but did not display
enough to justify the belief that he was
a Derby possibility.
His development this spring, growth,
conformation, everything, point to such
improvement that he must be given con
sideration by the wiseacres.
Shrewd observers who saw John P.
Grier, Upset and Wildair on the track
here were not so much impressed by
John P. Grier as advance notices from
the east would have indicated. Wildair
looked the best of the trio.
Damask, winter champion, is a well
plucked one. as the British would say.
There is no doubt that Damask Is a
sturdv performer, but there is some
question If hU blood will stand the
strain of a mile and a quarter trip.
WINTER BOOKIES
MAY BE HIT.
Donnaconna appears to have an ex
cellent chance. If he wins the makers
of winter books will be hard hit, as he
has been the most extensively played
of any colt here.
Blazes and Paul Jones, the Parr colts,
have been under cover, apparently,
though they breezed a mile and a quar
ter in a shade over 2:09.
Blazes showed one disappointing per
fnrmance when falling to finish in the
money in the race won by Sandy Beat
from Paul Jones.
Sandy Beal has a small, but enthusias
tic following. The Murray colt is a win
ner when the barrier flies up. He may
be the outsider to bring Joy to the hearts
of his suporterß.
It now seems probable that the favorite
Saturday will be at good odds. The
whltney entry will rule choice at better
than 2 to 1 In the belief of most of the
odds makers.
Donnaconna should be 4 or 5 to 1; the
Parr entry, about 6 to 1; Sandy Beal. 10
to 1; Peace Pennant, 10 to 1: Coch;an
entry, 20 to 1; By Golly. 25 to 1, and the
field, bunching other starters, including
The Swimmer. 40 to 1.
PRINCE PAL ALSO
SHOWS STRONG.
Best work of Derby candidates at the
downs Wednesday was done by Damask
and Wildair. from the Whitney atable,
and Prince Pal, owned by Edward F.
Simms. Each did a mile and a. quarter
in 2:os 4-5.
Upset, working bv himself, went a mile
and a quarter in 2:10. all out. Donna
conr.a went the Derby route in 2:00 2-5.
Blazes and Paul Jones, the Parr entry,
worked together in 2:10. Robinson rode
the former and Schuttinger the latter
Miss Muffins worked half a mile in
47 4-5 seconds, proving that the track
was right on edge.
Wrestling Here Tonight
With Greek Demetral and
Italian Callerim Ready
Indianapolis wrestling fans are offered
high-class entertainment at Tomlinson
hall tonight, where Josepho Callerini
and William Demetral, two of the best
heavy mat men in the country, will meet.
Demetral, who is generally regarded as
one of the most sensational mat artists
in the game, probably will have his bands
full when he takes the mat with Callerini.
Italian champion.
Since coming to this country a few
years ago the Italian has met and de
fea*ed most of the wrestlers In his class,
and if he throws the Greek demon tonight
Promoter Charleson has promised to
match him "with Joe Stecher, world’s
champion.
This match will be carded in Indian
apolis, providing the people here show
that they are ready to boost the game.
Two preliminary bouts between local
wrestlers will open the card tonight,
starting at sls o'clock.
Women with escorts will be admitted
free.
Robby Says He’ll Bat
.350 if Not Bothered
There are reasons to believe that Have
■Robertson, one-time Giant, now with the
Cubs, has been a victim of too much
management.
He was always rated as a potential
.350 hitter, but only once In his career
did he surpass .300.
Dave says:
“I suppose the pnblle thinks McGraw
has treated me with forbearance. My
main complaint with McGraw was and
is that be tries to handle everybody
alike.
• It is a system that will never develop
a star. My baseball career up to date
has been a disappointment to everyone,
most of all to myself.
"I am quite certain that I could have
developed Into a .350 hitter if left alone.
U-efer to make Infield hits, for an In
hit gets the infield up in the air
more than any other one thing.”

Numerous Big League
Pitchers Slugging Ball
Two Reds were on base in the fourth
Inning of the first world's series game
at Cincinnati and Walter Renther, their
star pitcher was up.
He caught one of Eddie Olcotte's fast
1 ones and drove In two runs with a triple.
Later In the game he put another tally
over with a second triple.
Be it known by this that Walter
Reuthr can hit. If he couldn't he
wouldn't be the star fllnger of the Reda,
I the hero of the scries and one of the
best southpaws in the major league.
Reuther, however, isn't the only
pitcher who can swing a stick with suc
cess. The leading hitters of the two
leagues this year are pitchers
George Uhle. .067; Biigby, .000; Walter
' Johnson. .420; Pennock, .280; Coveleskle,
.250. and Scbacht, .250, are proving of
great worth in the offensive as well as
the defense in the American circuit.
Eayres. .667; Jimmy Ring, .364; Ilixey.
.338. and Cadore, .333. in the National
league, are showing that a pitcher can
mean more than Just a filler-in in the
1 batting lineup.
French Speed Drivers

local movies.
Yeeterday Goux and his mechanics,
Alexandre Jehel and Theodore LcDu, at
tended a movie featuring the west in its
halcyon days, and they talked of nothing
but the antics of the cowboys.
Last year Goux was so thrilled at a
roundup held at the state fair grounds

the three Peugeots to arrive In Indian

to the speedway immediately.

Jack Hendricks says the team Is badly
in need of a lead-off man. Rebg Is be
ing used there, but Walter Is not of a
right type for the Job.
Bmerich. the young outfielder, prob
ably will be given more chances to show
during the remainder of the road trip.
If he can demonstrate anything with
the bat he will stick. He has the same
weakness as Shinners—curve balls.
Hendricks gay, Toledo la not only
baseball wild, but D is wild other
wise. It hasn’t changed much since
the Dempsey-Willard days, he says.
There in only one Toledo.
Josh Devore is getting nearer Canada
all the time. Old Josh knows something.
The Kansas City Blues must be trying
to corner the pitcher market. Hardly a
day goes by that Alex McCarthy doesn’t
hook anew twlrler. Still the club Is
trailing the league.
The jumping fever hit the Minne
apolis cluo and Pongo Joe Is short a

of Old Roy Patterson.
Mike Cantlllon, brother of Joe, is
president of the South Dakota league.
Chances are that all the clubs are using
borrowed uniforms. Mike never did be

busy.
Owner Smith of the Indians will be at
