President Carr said he intended to

feasible, good business for their game.
The owners tell you the fans want
to see the stars in action and there
fore ruling them out of the game
because of excessive fouling, would kill

In addition they tell you that such
a rule would make it necessary for
each team to carry at least 12 men
to be prepared for the emergencies

Widener Derby Entry
Shows Dazzling Burst
OF Speed In GaLIop

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 27 R.-l
Work watchers at Churchill Downs,
where number of three-year-olds are
training for the Kentucky Derby on
May IA, saw Osmand, Joseph E.
Widener's Derby gelding, show al
dazzling burst of speed for a half mile
and then tail off in the last quarter of
his three-quarter-m trial here

Earl Sande in the saddle, stepped the
eighth in II LIS seconds, the quarter in
2S 1-5, half in AZ 2-5, five eighths in
1:O1 is and three quarters in 1:14.
Although the track was considered a
second slow, Osmand's time for the half
was four fifths of a second slower than
the track record of 46 S-5. 1t took the
gelding 26 S-5 to go the last quarter.
Sprinters have won the Derby on
numerous occasions, and< one turf
writer commenting on the workout
said it may be that Osmands condition
will enable him to go on the mile and
a quarter in the Derby.
Kiev, a stable mate of Osmand,
turned in standout performance, over
the mile route. The imported colt, in
company with Laddie, stepped the.
quarter in "a 2-5, half in 40 2-5, three

The local cinder path candidates
will take their last workout today
before leaving for Patagonia Sat-
urday morning to compete in the
southern conference meet, which will
bring together the greatest galaxy
of track and field stars that has
ever competed for southern Arizona
honors.
The Douglas high school will en-
deavor to defend its right to :he
championship based on the record
Of last year when they nosed out
Tucson 5S to 81 in thrilling fin
ish. With the count so TO As i'll
favor Of Douglas the javelin event
was called and Tucson took first
place to tie the count but second
place wenc to Isodore Kline of
Douglas, who entered the breach at
spectacular moment of the meet,
having just returned from Bisbee
where he had competed earlier in
the day in a violin solo event in Il
music meet Kline jumped into the
gray and by hurling the javelin a
greater distance than he had ever
before tossed it, got second place.
Third place went to Tucson, but the
meet was over and Douglas had SO
points to 81 for Tucson. Douglas
won the relay event against time
no other teams entering; Bisbee and
Tucson both defaulting.
The meet Saturday at Patagonia
is beginning to take on signs of
being dual meet between these
same two schools, with Bisbee, Nc
gales, Benson and a few other small
schools taking few points TO over-
como any margin that each might
receive.
Douglas is counting strongly on
the sprints and longer runs and the
pole vault, but will not figure
strongly in the weight and jumping
events, where Tucson is rated to take
most of the points
Causey is doped to win the 100~
yard run, the 22O-yard run and pole
vault He may enter the broad jump,
if his teammates cannot carry
through for enough points.
Hohstadt is counted on to finish
we'll up among the top-notchers in
the 220 440 and the 1O0-yard dash.
He crowds Causey closely in all Of
these events. Wright, middle dis
tance runner, is beginning to show

is doing much better than he did

been erratic this year, lackadaisical.
