CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 3O.-The sad
ding bell at Churchill Downs Thursday will
inaugurate what promises to be the great
est meeting in the history Of the Louisville
Jockey Club. 1t is expected that 30 900
persons will see the Kentucky Derby. Two
weeks ago the Derby looked like three
horse race. Lieut.. Gibsons work being so
impressive as to stamp him as the class of
the event. Since then, however, the favor
lite has either not been doing so well, or the
other contenders have been doing better.
There will be a field of eight starters and
possibly ten. The sure ones are Lieut.. Glib
son, Kentucky Farmer, F. W. Brode, Hin
dus. Highland Lad, Florizar. His Excel
lency and Benadier.
To these may be added Thrive and Flaunt.
Flaunt worked the Derby route today in
210.
Although Lieut.. Gibsons stock has de-
preciated during the past fortnight. he will
go to the post favorite. Tom Mcdowell S
colt. His Excellency, will receive some con-
sideration from the fact that he has made
mile and an eighth the Lexington
track in 15IA. notwithstanding F. W.
Brode's ugly temper his owner says he
will start him He has sulked in his last
two races. II he should run to his Cali
fornia form, he would be a hard one to
beat.
Kentucky Farmer will start, but his prep
aration has been slow and conservative
that he has few friends outside of his
trainer Highland Lad will be put in as
the pacemaker for his stable companion
Florizar. He has considerable speed, but
is not thought to be a mile and a quarter
horse If he goes out after Lieut. Gibson
Tor the first seven-eighths. however he may
prove bothersome to the hackers of that
colt Hindus is a dark one. Benadier is a
consistent little horse.
The stables are filling up rapidly and by
the time the Memphis contingent gets here

Bradley to shift the Georgetown players
around, placing Downes on second and
sending O'Hara to center, but at the last
moment the old lineup took the field and

game for Maryland, but his support was SO
poor that true hne on his ability could
not be secured. Captain Downes trotted
out three twirlers, Blewett being the first
out, Golden followed and Mckay bringing
up the rear, the first two doing exceptional
ly fine work but the latter was Wild and
did not last out one inning, the first named
twirler being recalled from right neid. Az

opposing pitchers. No team can win with
such light batting, and team work or Held

An exciting game oe.base ball was played
on the Hyattsyille grounds Saturday be-
tween the Maryland Stars, representing Hy-
attsville. and the Business High School of
this city. which resulted in victory for
the home team by to g. The feature OF
the game was the pitching OF Mangum Tor
the Stars and Werter for the Business
High School. the; former having eleven
strke-outs and two bases on balls and the
latter nine strike-outs and three passes.
The fielding of the home team was OF
rather saffron hue. Had the total Of the
run column equalcd the error column the
visiting team would have had severe
drubbing. The rank playing of the home
team was undoubtedly due to the fact that
1t was the teams first game. and the ma
jority of the players had not been on the
field since last year.

big success. Fully 5000 spectators as
sembled at Franklin Field and cheered on

yard race. but lowered the track record
and equaled his own time of As seconds.
III the one-mile relay race the Georgetown
team was opposed by Pennsylvania and
Chicago, and the best the locals could do
was third or last. In the interschoIast site

Indians from Carlisle. Pa. will make their
hrst appearance in Washington as oppo-
nents to Georgetown. The Carlisle team is
composed wholly of full-blooded red men,
and they play base ball quite as well as
their pale-faced brothers. This is their
first season in the game. but they have de-
x sIe a remarkably strong team. Their
1orte is base running. Another feature of
their play is their throwing. Glass arms
are unheard of at Carlisle and it is likely
that these Indians can outthrow most OF
the men in the big league. Coach .Jere"
