LIST 3-YEAR-0LDS.
FOR CLASSIC EVENT
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
More than $50 of the fastest three
year-olds in the country probably will
be nominated for the 51st renewal of
the Kentucky Derby at Churchill
Downs next May 16.
Last Winter ia entries were named
for the 1000 classic, and the number
of high-class two-year-olds devel-
oped this season indicates as many or
more will be in the race before nomi-
nations close the last week in Feb
ruary. OF the large number originally
made eligible, only rarely do more
than a score start in the big race.
Lists of probable nominees already
have made their appearance, based
upon the form race horses are show
ing, and a large number of two-year-
olds of the 1924 meets are prominent
ly mentioned
Captain Hal, Master Charlie and
Stimulus, three sterling performers,
are among the early favorites, while
the names of Candy Kid, Mother
Goose, Single Foot, Star Lore and
Swinging are held high by their
hackers.
Blue Warbler Brown Sugar, Ken
lucky Cardinal, Lee o. Cotner, Maud
Muller, Sumpter, Sunsard, Sunny
Man, Young Martin and many more of
East and West are given a call
The high cost of starting a horse in
the race, $500, and the class of ami
mails entered are responsible for the
comparatively few survivors.

Making Good ON Promise.

The Metropolitan open of 1911 was
played over the course of the Engle-
wood, N. j.. club. McDermott, then at
the height of his game, participated in
an incident which was thoroughly char
acteristic of him.
Coming to the eighteenth hole, which
was $50 yards long, at the close of the
f1rst day, some one who had just Joined
the gallery addressed Johnny as he
climbed upon the tee
Gil Nichols has just finished" he
said. You need a to tie him for the
lead
Johnny's reply was snappy in the ex-
treme.
I'm not going to take a g." he said,

There was a very high wind blowing
against which he would have to play
head-on. The approach to the eight
eenth was nasty one. necessitating a
carry of almost the full distance to the
flag
Nevertheless McDermott, with a full
iron, laid his ball 2 feet from the cup,
and was down in 2 as he had promised
a stroke ahead of Gil. The applause he

Nichols, however, went wild before
the tournament was over, and with one
round of &c tied up the championship.

CENTRAL MARkSMEN
HAVE NOTED MENTOR

Gunnery Sergt. Oliver NJ Schrlv-
er, coach of the Central High School
boys rife squad, is somewhat of a
world beater in the use of small arms
as well as holding a high place in the
ranks of mentors.
At the national matches shot at
Camp Perry last Summer he won the
small bore championship with rec
ord -brea king score of 396, and a few
days later in the international meet
was high scorer over the British, Ca
madam and United States teams with
the same total.
He shot on the 1920 Olympic team
and In the same year participated in
the Pan American matches.
Two members of the 1924 Olympic
team, j. w, Crockett, who took part
in the long-range firing. and NJ. w.

broke the world record in the small
bore championship event, but was
finally bested by lone Frenchman,
We're coached by Sergt. Schriver.
Central rif1ers open their season
with telegraph match with the Co
lumbia University freshmen during
the first week of February, and the
coach is hoping to uncover a few
more crack shots. For material he
has Capt. Campbell, who shot on the
first team last year; Radue, Marquis.
Dean and Fisher, substitutes during
the last season: Boudinet, from the
1922 squad, and number of aspir-
ants, who are shooting on the Central
range for the first time.
Needs, another member of last
years team, expects to return to
school at the opening of the second
semester and should make place
for himself
In the match with the Columbia la
freshmen ten men will>shoot ten shots
prone, the five highest scores count
ing. Small bore rifles and ammuni-
tion will be used.
Following the Columbia shoot the
Centralites will compete with the
Ridgewood On. j. High School Short
ly after this the indoor high school
championship will take place. and
later in the season the Mount Pleas
ant. sharpshooters will invade the Ma
val Academy for a match with the
plebes. The outdoor championship of
the District will close the season.

Champions Last Stand.

Even after his health had begun
TO break, Johnny kept up his cheerful
fighting spirit.
Going up TO Fox Hills on the boat
for the 1915 Metropolitan open some
of the fellows kidded him, a practice
which he had always invited and in
which he freely participated
You won't even qualify" they told
him.
Watch me, you'll all be trailing
me-" he replied
Sure enough, at the end of the first
Is holes, Johnny WAS in the lead with
a splendid II. But he couldn't keep
up the pace and eventually his old
rival, Gil Nichols, was again trium-
phant. At this time Johnny had been
sick nearly two years.
I've never seen any one who was
McDermott's equal with mashie He
could lay more shots dead TO the hole
than any other OF the experts.
Evening star., 1925-01-11

Probably no one ever devoted more
attention to his game than Johnny. He
practiced his iron shots, particularly the
mashie, constantly. AS his assistant l
used 10 go to the club early in the morn
ing, but when l arrived he already
would have been there an hour, hard
at it.
Placing mashie shots so close to the
pin that he would only have to use one
putt was the constant object of this re-
markable player.
To attain accuracy he would spread a
newspaper on the ground and then
shoot at it with his mashie from all dis
tances permitted by that club. 1t is a
fact that from 125 yards he~would drop
his ball on the paper almost half the
time. He studied control of his ball
with such intentness that if it kicked
either to the right or left after striking
the ground he was dissatisfied. He re-
quired of it that it bounce straight.
He refused ever to use old balls while
at practice. He always hit out new ones
which he had just torn from their paper
wrapping. He was afraid that bit of
cut, or a bulge, which would not be
in a fresh ball, would cause some devia-
tion from the course which he had en-
viSioned
Evening star., 1925-01-11

Circumstances so shaped themselves
that he landed, not in Gotham, but
across the river in Brooklyn. For
one season he made a good showing
with the Robins, but the Giant bug
stayed with him and one Spring he
caused lot of annoyance by stopping
off at the Giants training camp at
San Antonio and intimating that he
expected to do his conditioning there
instead of with the Brooklyns.
Eventually he was persuaded that
the best thing he could do was grab
the next train for the Brooklyn camp
IN Florida But he went with bit
terness gnawing at his yitals
Ruether never pitched Brooklyn To
a pennant as he boasted he would
do for the Giants, though he had a
fine opportunity last season. His 1924
record was pretty poor. Eight games
won and 13 games lost; four out of
five lost to the Giants So, in a
way, he helped pitch the Giants to
pennant after all Had he been
as effective as some other Ieft-hand-
erS against the Giants he might have
won the pennant for Brooklyn
Ruether's failure against New York
embittered the Brooklyn manafe-
ment more than anything else tf..t
happened during his career as-a,
robin. Waivers were asked on him.
The Giants, like all the other Ma
tlonal League clubs, passed him up.
Washington saved him from the
minors by putting in claim for him
And now he is again a member Of
championship team, with a chance
to make good.
II Reuther's arm has not gone back
on him, if he still has some of the
skill he evidenced in the West. he
may prove just what Washington
needs. Left-hand assistance to the
extent of about Is victories out of
20 starts would go a long ways
toward winning another pennant for
the Griffmen.

the 390yard third in and the
56O-yard fourth in 3-four daz-
Zling brides in a row, during which
he laid every mashie shot within =
clubs length of the hole. 1t was
positively superhuman.
At the fifth hole Smith hooked two
balls out of bound. Johnny, true TO
his word, had moved into the lead
and wHll before the ninth hole was
reached He then proceeded to win
the tournament -
Ted Ray and Harry Verdon, who
had come over from England, were
among the contestants at Shawnee.
