T OUISvILLE. May 16.-The Derby
field for 1928 is perhaps the best
assembly OF 3-year-olds which
- has faced the barrier for the IA
nous Kentucky event in many
years. Those horses which go to the
post May 10 will be the cream Of an
entry list which for sterling worth has
seldom been surpassed.
Time only can vindicate the belief OF
some horsemen that this years field VIII
provide the greatest Derby trial OF all
time. surprising even the brilliant
event of 1920, generally conceded by
turf followers as showing the highest
class of 3-year-olds ever to meet in
competition in America.
Paul Jones, rough-and-ready racer
and a great mudder, won that event in
a downpour of rain, plowing through a
sea of mud to lead field of II from
the barrier to the finish. All the way
down the stretch Paul Jones and Upset.

War. fought desperate duel, but the
valiant son of Sea King refused to re-
linouish the lead he had maintained
from the start. He went under the
wire in one of the fiercest and most
courageous drives ever witnessed in a
Kentucky Derby.
Behind Paul Jones and Upset came

Eight years have rolled around since
that Derby and sons and daughters Of
many of these great horses are to face
the starting flag in another test.
Who knows but that Sortie, a son of
On Watch. may be the one to wear the
wreath OF roses late on that Spring
afternoon of May 10? Sortie won his

TODAY'S TENNIS TIPS

If the tennis player would concentrate
at the outset in stroke practice upon two
things, keeping the eye fastened on the
ball and aiming for some particular
spot every time the ball is struck, much
undoing of faulty work later on would
be avoided. The habit of hitting hap
hazard shots with no definite direction
in mind. other than TO get the ball over
the net-and failure to follow the ball
continuously with the eye-are the rea-
sons for many a mediocre game which
never improves beyond a limited point.
It's fun. no doubt just to rally back
and forth. but how much more fun to
strive to outguess and outplace the
other fellow--to use the mind and eye
as well as the muscles!
How does one go about "outguessing
and outplacing"? Outguessing is a
matter partly OF intuition and partly
OF close observance. The player who
really keeps his eye on the ball observes
its direction before his more careless
partner realizes 1t has left the oppos-
ing racket. Outplacing is primarily
matter of maintaining commanding
position on the court--the point men,
toned In our last discussion. If the
player stands we'll toward the center
of the court and we'll back of the base
line--except when drawn in by short
shot land then recovery of position
should be made at the earliest oppor-
tunity) he is in position to direct his
shots down the side lines or cross-court
to the corners at will. In practice. aim
for the corners or down the line Do
not drive your ball down the center Of
the court--the easiest way, perhaps. but
always a defensive shot unless one Is
driving at the opponents feet.
Remember this. the player who can
command the finishing" shots may not
be as steady as the one who plays safe.
but he more than makes UP for this in
the energy saved and the psychology
Of the passing shot.

Sixty-three Of the 1e9 nominations
to the 1923 Kentucky Derby are
maiden racers. Some Of these horses
never faced the barrier, others failed
TO show In a single race and l3. while
still in the maiden class, by running
second or third garnered something
toward their keep in 1927. Both East
and West are literally represented in
this number
Maidens are no longer favored with
a weight concession in the Kentucky
Derby, as they we're in former years.
One Of the most notable examples Of
this was in 1919, when Sir Barton. one
OF the turf's greatest thoroughhreds.
carried a maiden allowance Of 1l2
pounds in the classic. 1t was almost an
exercise gallop for Sir Barton to win
with this weight. but to prove there
was no fitike IN his victory the horse
annexed the Preakness Stakes the same
year, being the only horse In turf his
tory ever to accomplish this feat.

Kentucky Derby tradition in 1918 when

Anti Saloon Leader Asserts
He Can't Recall Session
With EmmonS.

Secretary E. S. Shumaker of the
Indiana Anti-Saloon League today
denied that there was any political
connection between the League and
the Ku-Klux Klan, as described by
Hugh L. (Pat) Ernmons Of South
Bend, former ST. Joseph County
Klan cyclopS, who made several
accusations regarding Shumaker in
a deposition Monday.
The deposition was made to Az
torney General Arthur L. Gilliom
and will be used in Gilliom's suit
to oust the Klan from Indiana.
First arguments in the suit are
scheduled for Circuit Court next
Monday.
Among the statements of Emmons
was that Shumaker went to South
Bend when Senator Arthur R.
Robinson was making a speech for
support in the primaries of 1926
and at that time asked Emmons
for Klan support for the Senator.
Emmons also testified that he
(Emmons) made dry speeches for
the League as reformed bartender;
that Shumaker praised the Klan
and Horsethief detectives and
urged that they work together with
the League in st. Joseph County;
and that he urged Emmons to sneak
Klansmen to his room for confer
ences.
Shumaker issued the following re-
ply today, pleading also that he was
unable to remember his converSa-
tion--if any-with Emmons.
"Pat Emmons never was in the
employ of the Indiana Anti-SaIoon
League" he declared. "Emmons
may have seen me while in South
Bend on the occasion that he refers
to. I have no recollection what
ever of having any information
from him or any one else that he
was the exalted cyclops of the Ku-
KluX Klan at that or any other
time.
81 certainly did not invite him
to bring members of the Klan in
to see me-, 'singly or one at time,
to avoid suspicion. AS superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, I
never have done business that way"

STATE DISGRACE CITED
Official Conduct Has Not
Squared With Pledges,
Says Resolution.

The Brotherhood Bible Glass of
Tuxedo Park Baptist Church today
was on record as demanding the
resignation of Governor Ed Jackson.
because he now stands convicted
before the great bar of public
opinion of a very serious criminal
offense, to the great shame and dis
grace Of our State and nation"
The resolution, adopted Sunday,
was made public today.
The resolution:
Whereas, the Governor of the
State of Indiana did long prior to
and while candidate for that OF
flee make speeches and talks to
religious bodies and churches and
taught Bible classes in numerous
parts of the State.
And, whereas, we invited him to
our church. where he made an
eloquent talk expounding the
principles of the Great Teacher
anda how he intended to carry
these principles into his public Of
flee,
And. whereas. his private life
and official conduct have not
squared with these principles and
teachings; therefore
We must conclude the Governor
did the above mentioned for no
other than the selfish purpose of
building his political fences,
And. whereas, the Governor has
played politics in defense of seri-
GUS charges, explained by telling
unbelievable horse-trading stories,
and betrayed the people into the
hands of gigantic financial inter-
eStS and. to climax, now stands
convicted before the great bar of
public opinion of a very serious
criminal offense, to the great
shame and disgrace of our State
and Nation,
And. whereas. the church people
very largely we're responsible for
his election, they should demand
his resignation;
We, the members Of the
Brotherhood Bible Glass of the
Tuxedo Park Baptist Church, do
now declare that Ed Jackson has
by his own conduct forfeited all
rights to the high Office of Cover
nor.
We know that neither the un-
derworld nor the politicians will
clean house. Therefore, we de-
mand that Ed Jackson resign,
and call upon all church people
especially to help purge our State
of the rotten political slime"
