winner of the Kentucky Derby, will
be asked to open up today and reveal
his real speed for the first time since
his recent injury. Frederick Johnson.

several other star eligibles part!ci-
pated in pleasing workouts.
The johnson entry never has work
ed in sensational style, but the easy
manner in which he runs, together
with the form he displayed last Win

Yesterdays activities at the ovals
here were marked by displays of eX
treme speed over short distances by
Captain Hal and Leo O. Cotner and a
gallop over the full Derby distance,
mile and a quarter, by Kentucky Car
dinal Captain Hal reeled off seven
eighths of a mile in 1927 2-5. Leo o..
Cotner three-quarters in 1:13 is and
Kentucky Cardinal the required dis
tance in 2:1l.
Captain Hal evinced a desire to so
faster, but Jockey A. PeaSe held him
in check. Leo o. Cotner is possessed
of phenomenal early speed, but rail
birds and newspaper men who have
watched him for weeks doubt his abil-
ity to carry it more than a mile. Ken
lucky Cardinal was we'll within him
self at all stages of his long run and
was not asked to show his best yes

Among other workouts that of Baal-
bee, Edward Cebrian's entry, was the
most meritorious. This colt went a

BALTIMORE, Md, May S.-The
climax of Mar, lands racing season
was reached today with the eighteenth
renewal Of the classic Preakness,
$4,000 added, scheduled as the fifth
event on the Pimlico card.
Sixteen blue-blooded three-year -olds
were carded to face the barrier at
about 4:30 pm. for the run of a
mile and three -sixteenths. The field
despite the elimination of several of
the seasons most brilliant performers
suffices to keep the great race up to
traditional standards.
The mishaps which have kept
Master Charlie and Stimulus away,
and the death of the famous Sunny
Man, have eliminated the particularly
prominent contenders, and the race
is again the open affair it has been
for the past several years.

have the mount, and Backbone, l..

the big purse that Nellie Morse

advantage, both in races and Preak-
ness trials.
j. L. Griffith's Single Foot; Almadel,
owned by H. p. Headley, and the

fair weather throughout the day, an
enormous crowd is expected to gather
at Old Hill Top.

mittee. Unlimited, senior, junior and
midget events will be run off. the

the base ball game arranged between
the Quantico Marines and Western
MARYLAND College, starting at 3

Since the sandlot governing body is
run on a strictly amateur basis, the
track and field meet is it's only means
of providing funds for financing the
Summer base ball series. Tickets
have been placed in the hands of
members of the clubs that make up
the organization. and the kids are
asking their friends to patronize the
big show in order that they may have
efficient umpires and scorers through
out the season free of cost.
All marks set tomorrow will be
records, as the affair is TO be put on
annually. Jimmy Connolly and Willie
Sullivan, Georgetown University track
stars, have been obtained to act in
an official capacity and have prom
ised TO do their best toward showing
the younger athletes how a track
meet should be run.
Numerous individual prizes are of
fered and handsome team trophies

CUBS GAME
IS JUBILEE AFFAIR
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. May S.-When the um-
pire calls the first batter up in the
game between the Chicago Cubs and
the Boston Braves here today, the
thoughts of a handful of gray-haire6
men will fit back half a century to
another game.
The contest will be a bit more than
the usual struggle. 1t will signify
the completion of 90 unbroken years
of base ball rivalry. 1t is set aside by
the National League as the golden
jubilee game. Boston and Chicago
being the only two clubs of the parent
organization that have played through
without break every National League
schedule from 1876 to the present.
Prominent state and city officials
and dignitaries of base ball and few
of the men who took part in that first
game of organized baseball ever
played-the game between Boston and
Philadelphia, in Philadelphia, April
%, 1S76-are expected to be present.

Having become wearied answering
telephone inquiries whether tickets
for the Washington series could be
bought in advance, the local manage
ment several days ago had recourse
TO putting ads" in the papers ad-
vising patrons where reservations
could be obtained. and the rapidity
with which these have been snapped
up indicates that the first stopping
point in the West is going to prove a
veritable mint for the titleholders of
the base ball universe.
