HIGHBALL's CAMPAIGN
For 1904 as Outlined by Trainer Bulb
May at Memphis.

Memphis, Dec. 30.-Trainer Dub"
May. who has w. NJ. Schefeels cham
pion two-year-old HighbalI in charge,
today gave out his plan of campaign
for the colt in 1904.
''HighbalI will not only be entered in
the American Derby, but he will be
among the starters barring unforeseen
accidents said May. "Highball will
not be taken up until late in the spring.
He will be given slow preparation, and
if he trains perfectly he will be started
in an overnight handicap or a stake at
a short distance during the April meet
ing at Montgomery park. Contrary to
general belief, Highball was not entered
in the 1904 Tennessee, Latonia or Ken
lucky Derbies, and it is likely that with
the exception of the Memphis and
Washington park tracks HighbaIPs rae
ing days will be spent in the east" The
colt is wintering in good health, but
horsemen say that while he is improved
in general looks he has added little
weight
