BRADLEY/ R
ANOTHER DERBY
Boxthorn and Big Gawk To
Carry Idle Hour’s
Colors
jfcEW YORK. April 8——E. R.
wradley will go alter his filth vic
tory in the Kentucky Derby May 4
with his best three-year-old in the
barns.
At least on the basis of two-year
old form. Bailadier, which the turf
aage of Idle Hour did not name for
the Derby, outranks both of Brad
ley's Derby eligible*, Boxihorn and
Big Gawk. Neither was Black Hel
en, winner of seven straight races
a* a juvenile and victor in the
Florida Derby, nominated, largely
because Bradley has no great fancy
for fillies in tire event he last won
In 1933
Bailadier was rated an outstand
ing Juvenile last year but alter
hanging up a new track record in
winning the Champagne Stakes at
Belmont Park he developed faulty
underpinning.
As a result, the son of Black
Toney will be given more time to
get into condition this year. His
first big race probably will be in
the Belmont stakes.
It is never sale to count Bradley
out ol the Derby, however, and In
Boxthorn he has a colt that ran
some good races as a two-year-old.
He was first in two of his eight
starts and finished in the money in
two others to earn a total of $7,950
Have Chance, Says Trainer
‘•We have a chance," said Dick
Thompson. Bradley trainer. “Our
two eligible* are training well, but
I don't know any more about them
than I did last fall. It has rained
so much we haven't had a good
chance vet to see what they can do."
At least a half dozen other colts
rate consideration lor the Derby
and the three-year-old turf cham
pionship although they are classed
strictly as outsiders.
Heading this group is E. D
Shaffers St Bernard winner of
the Bashford Manor Stakes and
second in the Arlington futurity
last vear.
Then there is Jouett Shouse's
Weston, knocked dowm from 200 to
1 to 20 to 1 in the future books. He
won two of his three starts last
year, but later was forced into
retirement by knee trouble.
Mantagna. from Dewitt Pages
Maemere farm, also was given more
consideration in the future books
as a result of his second to Black
jLelen in the Florida Derby and his
▼fc orv in the Derby consolation at
Tripocal park. .
If Omaha fails to train. William
Woodward also has a likely pros
pect in Sir Beverly while H. C. Mc
Gehee's Purple Knight, wmner of
his last two races in Florida, and
Elwood Sachsenmaier's Roman Sil
dier. third in the Florida Derby,
also are being pointed for the Derby.

Wood and Sarazen Playing
Monday for Augusta Title
AUGUSTA. Ga.. April 8. (/P/—Two
33-year-old veterans of the golfing
wars — blond Craig Wood of Deal.
N. J„ and stocky Gene Sarazen of
Brookfield Center, Conn., — squared
! off Monday in a 36-hole matoh tor
first place money in the $5,000 Au
gusta National invitational tourna
ment.
As a climax to 72 holes of spectac
ular shot-making that gave par a
terrific jolting Sunday. Wood and
Sarazen put on a sterling exhibi
tion to reach the finish line dead
locked with totals of 282. six
| strokes under perfect figures.
With $1,500 awaiting the winner
and $800 for the loser, the lanky
! “blonde belter” and little Gene
were expected to put on a real
show as a w.ndup to a great week
end of sub-par blatsing.
In cold, bleak weather and over
a soggy course, Sarazen reached the
15th tee Sunday apparently out of
he picture with below* par golf
needed to overtake Wood, who was
finished ahead of him with a two
stroke advantage.
Gene lashed out a beautiful drive,
the ball stopping on the edge of a
divot. He reached for his favorite
club, a No. 4 wood. There was a
sharp crack and the ball landed Just
short of the green, bounded twice
and as though the cup were a mag
net, trickled in for a ' double eagle.”
Even Gene Surprised
Little Gene smiled broadly and
said:
“That was the greatest shot I
have ever made. Sure. I was sur
prised to see it roll so straight t?
the cup.’*
The amazing two on the par five
hole was the most spectacular shot
of the tournament.
It put the diminutive sharpshoot
er on even terms with Wood and
gave him a chance to win if he
could get a birdie on one of the
three remaining holes, but he had
■ to be content with par and came
in even with the Deal Demon.
Sarazen took off on his final
round three strokes behind Wood
who had led at the three-quarter
stage, but picked up all of them by
firing a 70. two • under par, while
Craig wound up with a 73.
Meanwhile the scoreboard told a
story of faltering favorites and
near-favorites. Far down the list
was Robert Tyre Jones. Jr., the re
nowned champion of the world who
retired In 1930.
Jones showed no signs of his old
time skill. He was extremely er
ratic in putting and lacked confi
(V nee, finishing the C.nal round
with a poor 78. leaving him in a
triple tie for 25th place at 297,
| compared to his finish in 13th posi

DISTRICT MEET
FLANS ARE SET
Cream of Valley Athletic
Talent to Compete
Here Saturday
The rain which fell here Satur
day afternoon hardened up the
track at Tucker Field, insuring
good footing for the cream of Val
ley high school athletic talent
which will come here Saturday to
oompete in the Intersaholaatlc
League district meet.
Details concerning the athletic
events and entries were to be clean
ed away Monday by Coach Maurice
Pipkin and his staff of assistants
was to be lined-up for the big
event.
The entire morning will be giv
en over to preliminary events, and
the p/fmoon session will witness
the finals.
Martin 8tuart. of Donna, crack
440 flyer, has an excellent oppor
tunity of setting a new Valley re
cord in the quarter mile. He holds
the present record of 53 seconds
flat, but he has been beating that
mark consistently all season. In
the Edison high meet in San An
tonio Saturday he won the event
by covering the gruelling 440 dis
tance in 52 8 seconds.
Marrs of Stuart Place is another
athlete who will attract attention
here Saturday. He won the discus
event last season, and this year he
is heaving the platter around 127
feet regularly. That should be more
than enough to repeat his champ
ionship.
Black. Rio Hondo’s one-man track
team, will be on hand here Sat
urday to defend his Valley cham
pionship in the Javelin, an event
which he won last season with a
toss of 152 feet and three inches
Another defending tltleholder,
Billy Putegnat of Brownsville, is
back to give the boys a whirl over
the high hurdles.
The Saturday meet will draw
hundreds of high school students
here from all parts of the Valley,
and plans are being carefully de
tailed in order to see that every
thing goes off in snappy order.

The Pan-American Aviators, de
fending league champions, will at

when they tangle with the Eagles
The Aviators made a strong bid for
the first-half crown, but were beat
en out by the Port Brown Yankees
and Kiwanis. They got another Jdlt
last week when they Inaugurated
their second-half campaigns with a
1-6 defeat at the hands of the Ki
wanis.
The Prlday night game should be
well worth watching as It will pit the
Goodyear Tlremen, the most Improv
ed outfit In the league, against the
Kiwanis. The Goodyears flounder
ed badly at the beginning of the
first half but came to the front at
last. They are beyond doubt one of
the strongest clubs In the circuit at
present, and they are certain to give
Jie Kiwis a peck of trouble.
The league has been thrown some
what out of kilter due to the fact
that the Fort Brown Yankees, first
half title holders, are out of com
petition because of numerous actlvl-!
ties at Port Brown.

EAGLE GRID STOCK UP
ALL INDICATIONS point toward
a highly successful football season
for the Brownsville high school
Eagles, and the Eagle fans. The
grid squad has 14 lettermen re
turning and the spring training
camp has turned up a number of
likely prospecta.
Of particular interest to the fans
Is the fact that the Eagles have
eight home games booked this sea
son with strong competition. That
will mean plenty of good football—
probably under the floodlights If
present plans are worked out.
The Eagles of ’35 will be a fairly
husky aggregation with the Une
averaging around 160 pounds per
man and the backfield only about
ten pounds lighter.
The returning lettermen are
Louis Fernandex, Xavier Quintero
Plans Are Made

Final preparations for the horse
show and polo series to be held at

8 a. m on the main parade ground*
and will continue through about
10:30 a. m.
Friday afternoon, beginning at
2:30 p. m , the Hidalgo Blue Bonnet
polo quartet is slated to play the

Training Camp
Activities
(By The Associated Pm*)
MEMPHIS, Tenn.. April 8.—With
the National League season only
eight days away, the New York
Giants’ cripples are showing signs
of recovery. Mel Ott’s sore foot no
longer troubles him; Joe Moore's
Charley Horse has departed; Hal
Schumacher no longer is troubled
by a sore arm; Allyn Stout has re
covered from measles; and Leon
Chagnon's wrenched shoulder is on
the mend.
ORLANDO, Fla—The most im
proved player in the Brooklyn Dod
gers' training camp is Tony Cucci
nello. The veteran second baseman
not only has been fielding spectac
ularly but leads the club in hitting
with the amazing average of .5*5. He
has garnered 30 hits in 55 times at
bat.
ATLANTA—If Charley Ruffing
were in shape, Manager Joe Mc
Carthy of the New York Yankees
wouldn’t have a thing to worry about.
As it is, Rufflng's poor showing has
"Marse Joe” worried.
The big right-hander was 10 days
late reporting because of contract
trouble and then ran into a stomach
disorder. He may not be of much use
during the early weeks of the cam
paign.
TULSA, Okla.—With the excep
tion of left field. Manager Jimmy
Dykes is set on the Chicago White
Sox lineup.
Ray (Rip) Radcliff. recruit from
Louisville, has been given preference
for the left field Job all spring, but
his fielding has left so much to be
desired that Dykes may make a
shift. Radcliff's hltlng, however, has
been good enough to make the pilot
take his time about deciding to ase
omeone else.

from Kingsville high who appears
to be a good back.
This layout constitutes the best
prospect Brownsville high has had
since 1930, and football interest is
cr^ain to be revived with a bang.
If arrangements can be made to
have floodlights installed on Tuck
er field, attendance and Interest
here will be the best since 1930.
There are hundreds of football
fans working on Jobs which will not
permit them to attend afternoon
games. Playground ball here is a
good indication of that fact.
If the playground games were
played during the afternoon in
stead of night it is doubtful whether
they would attract enough fans to
pay for the balls used.

to order for a good season. It Is
as follows:
