High School Players Eligible for

To allow high school boys, now

11er Is out II the ball is securely
held in advance of him.
However, if the ball which
reached the fielder in advance of
the runner is juggled, and in the
interim before the ball is securely
held the runner reaches the base, he
is safe.
I have received many inquiries in
which the player juggles the ball,
then has it roll up his arm, and
prior to the runner reaching the
base, the fielder has the ball firmly
under his arm or held against his
body by his elbow.
The question is, does such hold
ing of the ball complete the play
and should the runner be called
out?
AS stated above, major league
umpires work on the theory that
baseball is played with the hands
relative to the actual catching of
the ball. For that reason they
would not regard such a happening
as the completion of play at first
or a force play at any other base.
To complete a catch, the ball
must be securely held in the hand
or hands Of the fielder making the
play, is the way the umpires view
it.

Heavy Rain in Louisville
Leaves Much Water on

TWENTY HORSES LISTED
Odds on Reign Count May

CHURCHILL DOW N IS,
LOUISVILLE, May ia tor
rental rain today changed tie
entire outlook for the Kentucky
Derby on Saturday. The rain
began about 6:30 a. m. and
continued all morning. 1t was
one of the heaviest in months
and the Churchill Downs track
was covered with water.
Prospects of the track drying out
by Saturday seemed extremely re-
mote, even if the weather cleared
and became hot and sunny.
The rain gave new heart to
trainers OF horses who perform
best in the mud and who would be
conceded only an outside chance on
a fast track.
FavOrite Good Mudder
While Mrs. John D. Hertz'S
Reign Count, the heavy favorite, is
claimed by his stable to be a cap
able mudder and proved it by a
smart workout in the bad going to-
day, the odds probably will shift
noticeably, since many things can
happen on bad track that would
not occur when the going is good.
Tom Young, track superintendent,
set force of men at work draining
off the lake" that had been at the
Churchill Downs oval. Young was
optimistic and said with clear, hot
weather Friday and Saturday his
worknen might be able to whip the
track in good shape for the Derby
The rain stopped shortly before
noon today
Eligibles Work Out
The general opinion, however, was
that the track would be soft, es-
pecially if the rain resumes and
soaks into the firm underfooting.
Despite the going, a large group
of Derby eligibles went through
their workouts and most Of them
performed amazingly well.
From the declarations of owners
and the assiduous training of more
than a score of eligibles on hand, an
overnight entry list of as many as
twenty-five may be made public
Friday. Five or six scratches could
be counted on, depending on track
conditions.
The largest field that ever started
was twenty-one in 1928, when zev
won.
1t Won't Be Long!
Final speed trials we're held by
most of the candidates Wednesday
and today and only light conditions
were planned between now and the
derby.
Louisville was approaching the
height of Derby week today. The
Chicago contingent was here in
force and thousands from other
cities are pouring in. Every day at
the track is a miniature Derby Day"
and a crowd Of close to $4,000 was
expected this afternoon.
Earl Sande late Wednesday in
formed the United Tress that he
would not ride in the Derby. Sande
had been offered the leg up on
Martie Flynn by Stuvestant Peabody
of Chicago. Peabody was reported
to have offered Sande a fee up to
100000. Sande was to ride Osmand
