Ouer One Hundred
 Horses Enter Derby

Louisville, Ky. February 16.-En- tries for the Kentucky derby for B. year -olds. at mile and a quarter, closed last night. The prospects are, it was stated at Churchill Downs, Louisville headquarters of the Ken lucky Jockey club, that between 125 and 150 owners would enter thorough breds. The number, it was stated, could not be determined, inasmuch as those already received had not been tabulated. Moreover, it was said. en- tries sent through the mails which bore postmarks prior to midnight last night, would be accepted, probably oc- casioning further delay in announcing the number.
 The entry fee is $25, with an addi- tiona1 $250 to start.
 The derby this year will carry $50,- 900 in added money. The owner of the horse finishing second will receive s1o.0o0; the third $5,0OO, and the fourth $2,000. The estimated value to the winner will be between $35,o00 and $40, 900.

 PAINTERS WON FIRST
 Panthers were able to nose out pt rivals in the first game last ~~sday night by a 22 to 17 score.
 the Bulldogs had put up one of shardest games and scraps local
 have seen in a good while. The meeting between these two teams Ik ago was not the occasion for a of superior basketball. On the Fry the two teams played rather
 but the spirit was there and
 agerness caused the many poor
 and frequent fouls. Tonight's
 will more than likely be just as
 fought, while some good basket aaould be played considering that vvo teams have had another week timing and practice.
 q Partners will themselves be sng under handicap, for they \ played two hard games since %g the Bulldogs a week ago. Sat
 night the Sunshine Slopers were
 ed by Sylacauga Mills team in a c described as q great contest, ScA football standpoint. Tuesday
 sTink Gillam's s. M. A. crew won
 victory from the Partners, 22 Hd performances never have any esH 5g on the Bulldog Panther scraps, ious, T, for the dope is always upset in nc manner or another when these two .vals meet in any form of athletics. ne Phanthers played better basket Ill last Thursday night, but it will ot be at all surprising if the Bulldogs anne back strong tonight and win -om their Owenuon rivals.
 The game will start promptly at 8 clock tonight and will be played on le gym floor of the Athletic club. The will be the same as last thursday, with the exception of Propst center, for Miller, for the Partners.
