BEST RUNNERS IN
CRESCENT CITY DERBY

NEW ORLEANS January 2--Just now
the chief topic of conversation among the
horsemen here is which colt will win the
Crescent City Derby. VIII 1t be Disobedi-
ent, Ben Holder or Jerry Weinberg? These
three colts are far and away the best of the
entrants and the contest seems to lie be-
tween them.
Neither Disobedient nor Jerry Weinberg
has started at the Fair Grounds or City
Park this season, but they have shown
well In private and both are in perfect
racing trim. The former had hard cant
paign late in the fall and for that rea-
son his trainer-owner Tom Mannix, has
been content to keep him in active train
ing so as to freshen him up without ashitg
him to race. Jerry Weinberg has not lett
his stable except to take slow gallops over
a fast track. He, too, Is being reserved
for the big event, which will be worth near
ly $4,000.
AS far as this pair Is concerned there
is, or was, no doubt which was the be-
ter colt. Disobedient won many races last
season and beat some very fast horses
Jerry Weinberg also ran creditable races,
finished resolutely in all of them, but never
won first money.
on that form, Disobedient has him at his
mercy. But while things look brtgh, Tor
the son of Sir Dixon, there is this in favor
of Jerry Weinberg: He has maiden al
lowance, which will put many less pounds
and this will mean much to him over a
mile and furlong.
In all of his races this year the latter
colt although failure so far winning
was concerned, showed a disposition for a
long journey. The five and six furioag
spirits did not suit him, and in every race
he was easily outfooted, but he always
closed fast at the end. For this reason, and
on account of his private trials, he is re-
garded as a most promising candidate Tor
the derby.
since Ben Holder arrived south he has
steadily improved. This Commoner colt
has won 90 per cent OF his races ana
has beaten, not once but time and again.
the best horses of all ages here.
on the showing made by this trio last
summer the finish of the derby wound un-
douhtedIy find Disobedient first, jerry
Weinberg second and Ben Holder third,
but the form of thoroughbreds at this sea-
son is most uncertain and as unstable as
the affections of a defeated pugiist's wife.
Often the sluggish colt of robust health as
a three-year-old turns the tables on the
,oungster that held him for speed as
tWo-year-old.

have been too old long ago but for his per-

John Heydler to umpire the game. Connie
was very anxious to have a square deal,

wanted to know who the umpire was /
told him he was stranger to me, but at
that distance / could clearly see the hon
