With sl4,0O0 added to the purse by the Jockey club. the race is worth approximately sl50O0, and expert horsemen declare the race to be the most open one in the history Of the stake.
 Fiftysix nominations, including vi.tual- ly every American o-year-od which attained distinction iast year. were made for the derby Seven geldinSs and three filles were named as possible starters, but the field now has narrowed to the best colts named.
 derby precedent pt obab'y will be set when, from appearances tonight, a for eign bred animal will go to the post favorite in the par-mutuel betting. This honor, it is believed, will be accorded the Macomber entry Star Hawk and The Cock, because of the formers recent im- pressive tryouts. He probably will be held at odds of ? to l. J.

Look out rest. He will probably warm the bench for the remainder or the series.
 Two former Barons are in Traveller uniform. Tex Covington. first sacker, and Omar Hardgrove are among the members of the Starr clan. Tex had a great day yesterday. while the Old Sleuth didn't appear on the field in a uniform. Both Hardgroye and Cow ington expressed themselves as glad to have another glance of Redwood. Hardgrove will not hardly face the Barons as he pitched in Thursdays game against the Pels and was driven to the showers He may. however, he Starrs choice in the final game of the series on Wednesday. Omar has swore revenge on the Barons and it will be interesting to watch the proceedings of driving him from the hill.
 The Travellers didn't appear to have such strong team, judging from their showing in yesterdays fracas. The Pels appear to be the class of the league, with all but two teams to make their bow to Redwood fandom The Travellers, it must be conceded, have bunch of terrific hitters that make any pitchers life miserable, but their weakness on fielding and pitching seems to oyerbalance this abundance of strength.
 The catching department seems to be exceedingly well fortified with "Gibby' Gibson and Rumler Both are dangerous hitters and will average abo out .3J0 for the season. "Gibby' has a good peg and plenty of pep He also possesses a good whip. holding the Barons without a stolen base in three attempts. The infeld seems to lack team work. The outfeld is strong with Walker in left. Jacobson in center and Kirby in right. The latter has taken on considerable flesh since he was with Mobile in 1914
 Charlie Starr will have good team if he collects bit of hurling material and gets some team work among his crew. Starr is idle at the present with the exception of coaching every inning using Wares at second. Walter Bar bare, the former Pelican and Indian, appears to have lost some of his speed as well as batting ability The ma jority of the Allen outfit is composed of players who have seen some service or had tryouts in the majors. If he gets a winner out of this combination it will be surprising. The Travellers are here for three more games.
 The Pelicans hoped into the lead- ership of the league by giving the Nashville Vols a trouncing yesterday by the count of to 0. The Pels gave Herbert his first defeat of the year. The Lookouts continued their winning streak, by pounding out win over Mobile, while Memphis defeated At lanta. Hard hitting featuered every game in the league.
 LeClaire will probably be Charlie Starr's choice in todays game, with either Dick Robertson or Karl Black on the mound for the Barons. After four straight defeats, the Barons are due for win-and we'll probably get it.
