Army athletes from all countries af-
ford a big field from which to choose

Directing events in the A A. L.
and in the Central A. A. L." he said.
Il have found more interest among
athletes and sport followers when the

be even more important for the
Olympics. Hold tifem In different
countries. Give more people a chance
to see them. more youngsters a
chance for hero worship and stir up
their desire OF emulation. The

tent builders Of physically powerful

Billy Kelly Is Not the Only
One Preparing for Ken
lucky Derby.

Louisville. KY. March s.-The last
stand of the gelding in the Kentucky
Derby. the only race for S-year-olds
OF the first class that will admit him
to participation this year even. bids
fair to be a memorable one. For Billy
Kelly. the super gelding. the greatest
unsexed 2-year-old American racing
has developed since salvidere-the ju-
venile hero of 1sO6-whose prospective
meeting with Eternal, last season s
champion colt, invests the renewal Of
Churchill Downs great race of May
10 with unwonted antieipatory inter
est. is not the only geldihg Of class
preparing to take part in II.
Ten or dozen smart 3-yeaT-old
geldinss will be named for the Derby
and OF this number Harry Payne Whit
ney's Blue Laddie, Cornelius NJ. Gar
rison's Be Frank, b. j. Brannon's
pair, Col. Livingston and st. BERNARD;
Col. Raj PARIS Esaulmau, Frank d.
Weir's Toto and Mrs. Walter NJ. JEFF
ford's kerensky. not to mention 9TH
ers, are horses of high promise. Any
one OF them may develop flrst-class
form. All have speed of the highest
order; all have shown under coIors
some disposition to go on.
On demonstrated form the most
likely OF the seven is Col. Livings-
ton. This prepossessinc son of
Handsel and Axis. won $1s.623 last
season. which was something to
boast of. After taking the Harold
in Kentucky. in the spring. he went
up to Saratoga and finished third
to Rilly Kelly and Lion dor in
the Sanford Memorial, and third to
Billy Kelly and Sweep On in the
Grab Bag. Then he came back to
Kentucky to win the Breeders
Futurity and the Fort Thomas
Handicap. He showed that he was
something OF a manager of weight
by shoulderng 12S pounds in the
Fort Thomas to Linden's 113k and
Sennings Parks. III. And later
still ne beat that reliable perform
er of maturer years, Opportunity. in
an overnight race at three quarters
of a mile.
Col. Livingston is good to look
at and an easy horse to manage.
He comes honestly by his quality.
No 3-yesr-Old in the country. in
TACT. has better connections. Axis
is half sister 70 Sir WiIfrid, n
first-class race horse in his day, and
the sire, since he took up stud duty
at Henry T OXnsrd's Blue Ridge
stud in Virginia, of Trojan. a Flu
turity winner. Headmast and other
horses OF class. A crime against
thoroughbred production was COM
mitted when Col. Livingston was
Gelded. He should have been left
entire to carry on the blood Of
Hanover. which is threatened with
extinction.
