last season, had his first work
out Friday at Belmont Park. Ac-
cording to observers the colt is in
excellent condition after the long
winter and is, perhaps, 200 pounds
heavier than last season. One OF
the chief favorites for the Ken
lucky Derby will be watched with
eagle eyes from now on.
Don't ever get it into your head
that Walter LaIIfer is "lOafer."
-1se-e is a resemblance in the
name, but in a swimming tank
oh, boy!
Skeptics who will not believe
that spring is here, just take a
look at the amateur column today.
Bud Taylor's judgment and repu-
tation as a picker" will be at
stake next Wednesday night, when
the South Side Turner'S stage an
amateur boxing show at the Tur-
ner gym.
Five entries on the card will be
from Buds gymnasium at Terre
IIaute, and they were recommend
ed to Arthur Paetz, Turner match
maker, by Taylor as capable OF
turning back any opposition In
dianapolis has to offer. The Hut
mentries are:
~ Ray Van Hook, 105 pounds; Mas
ser Nasser, 105; Ross Wilson, 126;
Phil Walters, 1876, and Bud De
Haven. 1866.
Paetz returned from Terre Haute
Friday. He said he will probably
match the 12G-pounders, Wilson
and Walters, against Harold HOLE
of the Turner's and Ehrman Clark
of Fairbanks Morse, while Cecil
Hurt will likely be paired with De
Haven. Opponents will be found
for the others of the visiting quin-
tet.
What's this? What's this?
Passaic High School did not cop
the Eastern prep tournament.
Christian Brothers Academy of
Syracuse won the championship. .
at Glenn Falls, n. Y, by a score
OF Al to 81.
f~1IFE is just one durn thing
III thing after another for Tex
Richard, New York pro-
moter of anything and everything
that brings a golden stream at
the box office. Tex doesn't stay
up at the top without many a bat
tie on his own account. Some Of
the greatest struggles are not in
the Madison Square Garden ring.
The latest effort to dethrone
Richard and end his monopoly on
the big fights is the signing of
Jack Delaney OF Bridgeport by
Bert J. Fugazy for an outdoor
bout at Ebbetts field, Brooklyn,
h with Ad Stone, the Philadelphia
'5light-heavyweight, on May 26.
Delaney is scheduled to meet
Berlenbach for the light-heavy
title in June. The title holder has
signed with Richard. What will
happen if Delaney sticks by Flu
gazy?
This isn't the first time that Tex
has been challenged by other pro-
motors. Can Tex keep control Of
all the important matches? 1t is a
stupendous task. Richard has
been at the top for long time.
He is a hard man to beat.

Sponsors of the movement to le-
galize in Massachusetts, Sunday
major league baseball and other
Sabbath sports for which admis-
sion is charged, have won their
fight to put the question to
Statewide vote.
The State Supreme Court Friday
dismissed petitions asking that the
secretary of State be enjoined from
placing the measure before the peo-
pie in a referendum.
Many thanks, weather man, for
any little favors. The sun looks
mighty fine. Thought maybe you
had forgotten this was supposed
to be spring.
1t is said those Oklahoma
City folks know their oil. And
Indians are nothing new to the.
inhabitants Of that part Of the
country. But just wait until
Bush's Indians show them few
new tricks. Rain, rain, stay
away, Ownie's pitchers want to
play. -
The Detroit Tigers won their
tenth straight game on Friday
but the American League season
has not started yet. Ty Cobb took
off his dark glasses to take a bet
ter look at Gibson and Johns, two
rookie pitchers, who held Nashville
to four hits. Tigers won, to 1.
Ty thought his eyes had gone bad
again.
Wish those K. G. Blues wouldn't
give the Chicago Cubs such
battles. The Indians open the
season there.
Not a tear was shed in Indian
apolis when the news reached here
that Pittsburgh had thumped
Louisville, 10 to A. The Pirates
obtained eighteen hits. Local
baseball bugs don't wish the
olonels any hard luck, but then
