erty, who is a good judge, if not a
champion says that Browne is one of
the best welterweights he has ever
seen as regards physical requirements,
and he was particularly anxious to
have the boy go North and try for a
title.
Both men vow the bout will go the
limit, and both will be allowed ample
opportunity to demonstrate just how
hard and fast they can go.
Both men have been training hard,
but will let up to-day, and confine
themselves to light work. Browne was
in the arena at the Athletic Club yester
day afternoon for two hours, doing
several fast stunts with sparring part
ners and wrestlers. He displayed more
than usual science in punching and
getting away, and has a left swing
that is a wonder. Browne is taller by
several inches than his opponent. and
has trained down to within five pounds
of his weight. Under the agreement
the men will meet at catch weights.
Blood will weigh in at about 143 and
Browne at las to 14S
The members of the Philadelphia
team are all deeply interested in the
contest. Philadelphia is recognized as
the center of pugdom in America just
now, and some of the fastest boys in
the country are being developed there.

Crowhurst, who pulled OFF and refereed
the Sharkey- Munro bout, George

WYETH OFF THE TRACK.
The American Derby Winner VIII
Not Race the Coming Season.

Lexington Ky. March 22.-Since ar
irving at Walnut Hill Stud early in
the winter Wyeth, Millionaire John A.
brakes American Derby winner of
1902 has improved amazingly, and
Fletcher Driver, in whose care the
horse now is. says there is no ques-
ton but what he will race again with
credit in 1905. Trainer Wishard has
given Driver permission to breed sew
eral mares to the son of Wadsworth
this season, and the latter will avail
himself OF the opportunity as soon as
some of the crack mares at Walnut
Hill fOal. No effort will be made to
train Wyeth this year. He will be
allowed a full seasons rest, and then
next year return TO the turf and make
bid for some of the big handicaps
as 6-year-old. Wyeth in some re-
spects has been a hardluck horse,
though he made good for his million
aire owner by winning Washington
Parks classic event. Several times,
when just ripe, he has suddenly gone
wrong, and at intervals has trained
none too kindly. Wishard, for one,
regards him a great horse, and he
still believes he only needs a long
rest to recover the form which en-
abled him to win an American Derby
from star field.

TENNESSEE DERBY LOOKS
OPEN WITH TEN STARTERS
Capt. Brown May Supply Post Favorite in Con-
juror or Proceeds

With the Crescent City Derby de-
cided and few 3-year-olds of great
claim to class engaged in the Arkan-
sas Derby, to be run this week, the
Tennessee Derby is the next event at
tracing attention from followers of
the Derby division in the West. The
Tennessee Derby has been set for deci-
sion at Montgomery Park on Easter
Monday, April A.
According to the list published by
the New Memphis Jockey Club there
are twenty-six remaining eligibles in
the race, with prospects pointing at
this time to a field of less than ten
starters and very open race. The
following is the complete list of eligi-
bles:
S. S. Browns Conjurer and Pro-
ceeds.
C. C. McCafferty's Edward Hale.
Burns & Warehouses; Rockaway
and Toledo.
Ed Corrigan's samurai and Geron-
imo.
c. Dewitt & Co.'S st. Blue.
c. r. Ellison's Vestina Belle and
King Croker.
John Fay's Ed Tierney.
w. H. Fizer's Maj. Carpenter.
S. G. Hildreths Monastic.
]. w. Pughs The Black Eagle and
Bright Arch.
j. w. Schorr's Moharib Mountebank,
Sweet Gretchen and Dutiful.
B. Schreiber's Otto Stifel.
w. +. Schulte's Bats.
M. H. Tichenor & Co.'S Flower King
and Flo Bob.
Waltring & Co.'S Rheingold.
S. d. Willis Glenf1o.
]. S. Williams Clay Clement.
The latest aspirant for honors in this
years Tennessee Derby is John Fay,
who is represented by Ed Tiernev. hv
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-23

The result was never satisfactory to
MI Daily, and he has been anxious to
have another trial for his colt. His
principal objection was TO the ride
put up by Bullman. and he has claim
ed on many occasions that Claude
would have won with another jockey
in the saddle.
The Montgomery handicap will more
than likely offer a splendid opportunity
for the meeting OF the two early in the
season, and turf followers are hoping
that both owners Will take advantage
of the opportunity. Witful still re-

ting on the race, being quoted at 5

Montana-Loo. Mr.. Fay is supervising
the preparation of Ed Tierney for the
Tennessee Derby. Ed Tierney has
wintered in good health, and has i'm
proved in looks over his 2-year-old
appearance. This colt, regarded at
the 1908 Memphis meeting as a good
one, proved d disappointment after
leaving, but his owner has not lost all
confidence, and it is generally thought
that Ed Tierney likes this track. Dur
ing his 2-year-old preliminary trials
Ed Tierney broke flat-footed from the
barrier and worked four furlongs in 80
seconds, with big weight up.
Capt. S. S. Brown may supply the
post favorite in either Conjurer or
Proceeds. Conjurer is not being hur-
ried in his work, and for this reason
Proceeds is regarded in Derby calcu-
lations by horsemen.
Burns & Warehouses; candidates,
Rockaway and Toledo, will not be at
Memphis, and Edward Hale, formerly
the property of S. S. Brown, will not
be sent for the race by his present
owner, c. c. McCafferty.
w. F. Schulte's Bats, by Imp. Flor
ist-Fannie Willoughby, will be a
starter, barring accident. Bats won
several races on the Canadian circuit
last year. The colt is now at Hot
Springs, receiving his preparation in
private trials.
Ed Corrigan's maiden colt Geronimo.
by Riley-Sardonyx may carry his
colors, but this has not been definitely
decided. Corrigan is also represented
by the maiden colt Samurai, by Artil-
lery-Lucerne.
c. r. Ellison's King Croker and
Vestina Belle are considered certain
starters. j. w. Schorr will depend
on Mountebank or Dutifuls as Sweet
Gretchen and Moharib are ailing NJ.
H. Tichenor & Co. may not be repre-
scented in the event, as Flo Bob is out
of training and Flower King is said to
be slated for a special preparation for
the Ar1ariaap narbxy

Sir walters Record.

Since the time of Sir Walter, a turf
statistician says, America has not had
a race horse retire from the track with
100000 or over to it's credit. There
are a few horses which will race this
season whose winnings are already
verging on the $1,000 mark, and which
with luck may get past 1t.
One is Africander. the star of the
Hampton stables. Africander has start
ed in thirty-fou~ races and has won

Not Single Promising Candidate at
Lexington This Year.

Lexington, KY, March 22.-For the
first time in years there is not a sin
gle prominent Kentucky Derby eandi-
date in training here this season. The
only colt at the Kentucky Association
track which is engaged in the Louis
vile classic is Commodore, the son of
The Commoner-Rosa Masso, in the
stable of ]. c. Milan, which is by no
means likely to start in that race
simply because his trainer does not
want to hurry him in his preparation,
as he is well engaged later in the sea-
son. I. c. Mcdowell at Ashland, has
Japan, by imp. Top Gallant. dam The
Queens Gambit, in the Kentucky Blue
Ribbon, and has made the last pay
ment on the colt but while that as
tute horseman regards him highly his
2-year-old record is hardly that to sug
gest Derby form. He is. however, al
most a sure starter in that race.
