SWOPE HIGHLY
LIKED IN
DERBY
Bud Fishers Horse May Be
a FaVorite in
Classic
BY THOMAS TEMPLE HOYNE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May g.
What thoroughbred stars are COM
ing out Of the East to pit their
brilIiance against the bright lights
of the western turf in the Ken
lucky derby a week from tomor-
row?
That is what the dopesters, talent
and general public are concerning
themselves with just at present,
and they expect to be furnished
with something like a definite an
swer in the running of the Freak
ness stakes at Pimlico this after
noon.
Sixteen three-year-olds are card
ed to start, and an even dozen Of
them are eligible for the derby.
Only one, Maid at Arms, Is a filly.
She Is in with 121 pounds. All the
others will carry 1z6 pounds, their
derby weight.
The twelve probable starters that
are derby nominations are: Swope,
Backbone, Gold Stick, Prince Of
Bourbon, Almadel, Chantney,
Singlefoot. Marconi, Voltaic, By
Hisself. Cloudland and Finland.
Swope is Bud Fishers colt,
Fisher of Mutt and jeff fame, and
is regarded highly by some. The
great Sande. it is said, has been
transported from Eew York to ride
him.
AS a two-year old Swope started
in % races, and divided his efforts
fifty-fifty between being in and out
of the money. He won only one
race, was second six times and
third four times.
The quartet to watch particular
ly, the race-wise believe, are Chan
tey, Almadel, Singlefoot and Prince
of Bourbon. Backbone has per-
formed we'll this year, but he will
have to prove today that he is bet
ter than the quartet emphasized to
get the call over them for the
derby.
This city is beginning to fill up
with visitors for derby week. The
Churchill downs meeting opens to-
morrow, and from then on the
crowd of transients will be aug
mented daily until it reaches the
elimination OF it's climax on Derby
day.
Commencing in 1909. when w. T.
Ryans Effendi proved to be she
first Of a moderate field at a mile,
followed in 1910 by Captain e. B.
Cassett's lightly weighted Lavmin-
ster, the distance was increased in
the succeeding year to a mile and
one e-eighth, when August Belmont's
Watervale, ridden by Eddie Dugan,
made the track record of 1:51.

FINAL ALOYSIUS RUN
TO BE STAGED SUNDAY

The Aloysius Club VIII stage lts
final five-mile run Sunday morning
at the Georgetown University track.
The contestants will be ushered
upon their merry journey promptly
at IL o'clock. Any Washington
athlete is eligible to compete.
These Sabbath affairs of the
Aloysius organization are attract
ing not only a large field of local
barriers but huge gathering Of
spectators as well. The onlookers
have been rewarded with several
splendid races. It Is expected that
the honor Of leading the field home
will go to Leach, Williams, Healy,
Schaub, Smith or Heinrich, but it
is also quite likely some unknown
may disrupt this dope.

It seemed the consensus Of all the
small talk and chatter that the an
nual meet, now in Its thirty-f first
wear. has outgrown even itself, its
every possibility has been developed
to the nth degree and now 1t tends
TO become top-heavy. The reason
for this is not inefficient manage
ment, but the enormity of the en-
tire list and the physical impcssi-
biliity Of adding any more events
to the program.
The track fan, who Is not hard
to please must be considered. The
latter do not care about the total
of races and entries, for they usual
ly run single affair. The thou
sands of track fans find it impos-
sible to keep interested in the doz-
ems of events run off one after
another, with the regularity OF a
machine.
It is well known that compare
tive times mean nothing to COM
petition, yet the entry list was
so large i'm the quarter mile prep
school championship Friday that
the officials were compelled to
run four teams ag q time In five
heats, placing them I'm order Of
the respective time performances.
st. Augustine's Prep of Brooklyn
was entered in this event and was
not placed. The chance that the
BroolIynites might have run faster
had they been In 3 faster heat
is not long one.
The first event Of the big meet
started in the forenoon Friday and
the Last was ever about 8 p. m. They
were resumed at noon Saturday and
continued again until 8. Under such
circumstances as prevail at Franklin
Field, the strain upon the officials
is terrific.
