Put more roar into one Of these hoss
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-15
BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER

Louisville. Ky, May 15.-The big red hoss-Gallant Fox-has come and gone, just as the little red hoss -Aristides-came and won the first Kentucky Derby and went on his way galloping years ago.
 Another hoss king for day will rule here Saturday, May 16, when one of the finest fields that ever faced the Derby barrier struggles for $50,000 and immortality.
 From some dim equine Valhalla, perhaps the ghosts of those kings of other days will look down upon their sleek and shiny sons and offer a challenge to brave deeds.
 Maybe the little red hoss, Aris- tides himself, will whisper words of hope and advice to the prancing princes of the turf as they parade to the post. Something like this:
 T won the first Derby, boys, in 1875. We ran a mile and half then, and wasn't supposed to win. I was supposed to set fast pace, ard in the stretch I was supposed to curl up and die and let my stable mate, Chesapeake, come on in and take the prize. But old Chesapeake never got. up, so l had to go on and win myself"
 Then, the great Old Rosebud, thus: "They never have beat my Derby time, boys. With a good

pos st fo rthe test that has become an American tradition.
 But the horses entered in the Kentucky Derby of 1891 might be just bit impatient of their ances- tors counsel. There are some mighty fine horses in the crowd this year. Not in years has there been such a heap of good ones to harass the hadicappers.
 Equipoise, the eventual. the gall lant comer-from -behind will be there ready to accept the challenge that a favOrite always finds. With Equipoise from the east will come Twenty Grand, proud of his decision over Equipoise last year and ready to try to make the favorite eat dirt again. From the same sector Mate gees to the barrier ready to win or bust"
 The middle west has a fine candi- date in Griffin Watkins stout Insco. The far west will wait for tidings of Siskin. The hardboots of old kaintuck will be backing Wander pool, who already holds one techni- cal decision over Equipoise. Ken lucky likes the Brook Farms big bay Pittsburgher. who has shown fine condition this year; Kunnel Brad ley's Bar Hunter and Barometer. ard Kncbelkamp's Spanish Play. winner of the Louisiana Derby.
 Then there are the dark horses
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-15

Prospects are that the racing stripe will be dry, although not Lightning fast, when the field of probably II horses got to the post to-mororw.
 On. a dry track, it is expected that Twenty Grand will be made a slight favorite over Mate, although the latter has gained much support since his victory in the Pimlico classic. Should the turb be muddy, Equipoise, 1880 money-winning champion among juveniles, probably will become favorite.
 In the Race.
 Pittsburger, carrying the chief hope of the west and a great mud der, has gained little support despite his sensational workouts while Sweep All and Spanish Play, con- sidered the best of the other western candidates, are accorded only an outside chance by veteran horse men.
 Mate, little heralded until the Preakness victory, will have an op- portunity to accomplish the unusual. Only two horses in history have won the Preakness and the derby in the same year-Sir Barton and Gallant r OA. 0uOulu lMdtS CTOSS lllc II1lSu line first, he would become known of all time.
 Outside of this record-which only can be tied-only one mark can be broken. That is the track record of 2:03 2-5, set by Old Rose- bud in 1914. None of the mounts entered in the derby this year have a chance of piling up record. win- nings for the season, and it is un- likely that the course mark will be shatetred.
 A crowd of approximately. .75, 900 persons is expected to witness the renewal of the classic. The hum dreds of thousands of dollars that are bet on the probable winners each season were being carried into Louisville to-day and although the betting machines do not open until tomorrow morning, it was esti- mated that about $2,500,000 would be wagered this year. In addition to that amount. there will be 'thou- sands of dollars handled by book makers throughout the United States.
 One of the most distinguished visi- LOTS arrlVeQ yesterday. de was Charles Curtis, who was accompanied by his sister, Mrs Dolly Gam. Curtis probably will present the trophy to the owner of the winning horse.
 At the Post.
 Although there still remained Q possibility that Boysq Howdy, owner by H. c. Hatch of Canada, would start, indications were that only II horses would go to the post, The lineup as 1t appeared some 36 hours before post time follows:

 Then the comedy lilly, Regret, thus:
 You know I was the only girl ever to win a, Kentucky Derby. I won in 1915, and while the time wasn't so hot-2:05 3-5-it hasn't been beaten very often. I just thought would say a few words to the girls in this race, like me, who are trying to take the honors away from the men this year. Keep up hope, girls"

 CAMPOLO TONTTE
BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

II tAAN-OkSNsAAN.~--eS
 New York, May IS - (UPl Y Tommy Loughran, retired undefeat. ed light-heavyweight champion, and Victoria Campolo, the Argentine giant, fire the opening gun in the summer heavyweight campaign to- night when they meet in 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden:
 The victor will attempt to force the winners of the Carnera-Sharkey bout at Brooklyn, June 10. and the Stribling- -Schmeling contest at Cleve- any worlds heavyweight champion. ship is officially awarded.
 Skill vs Strength
 The Philadelphia dancing master, who has the best record of any heavyweight during the past year. has been made at 2 to 5 favorite. although his opponent will have a weight advantage of 40 pounds. 7 After being knocked out by Jack Sharkey in his first start as a heavy- weight. Loughran staged. a great comeback to defeat Max Baer, Ernie Schaaf and Tuffy Griffitss. If suc- cessful tonight. Loughran hopes to get return match with Sharkey.
 Campolo, who towers 2 inches above the Philadelphian, is conn parative novice. He has fought only 16 professional bouts as compared to Loughran's 150, and relies on punch and endurance rather. than on boxing skill or speed.
 The Argentine Giant has been in- active since last spring and but for his strength and sibe would be ac- corded little chance against the skill full Loughran. Many experienced boxing men believe Campolo will be able to wear down the Philadei- phian.
 A Campolo victory = if at all inn pressive - would pave the way for one of the greatest 'naturals" in boxing. Campolo vs Primo Camera. The bout between the two Giants has been proposed frequently but Cam polo's inactivity has kept him from earning the opportunity.
 Both men are confident of victory Campolo believes he will win by a knockout while Loughran expects to dance his way to decision. Loughran. a decidedly light puncher. i sin the best condition of his career and has been showing to good ad- vantage in his training bouts against men of Campolo's size and style.

The left hand is the guiding factor of the swing. When the right overpowers the left, the clubhead can't be kept along the line of night. It turns sharply inward toward the left, cutting across the ball and imparting a snin which sends the ball to the right of the fairway. Much of this slice Is due to too little use of the left hand and arm.
 Let the left hand and arm dominate the backswing and the start of the downswing. Don't let ft be overpowered by the right.

have been comforting for Mr..
Cohan to read last Sunday that
Percy Hammond had renewed his
nomination of George M. as the

earnestly pray he will soon find
q part worthy of his talents.
And there is always the memory
Of the first Cohan Revue which
fingers fragrantly as the musical
which demonstrated that genuine
wit and satirical cleverness were
possible in bijou skits. The
Cohan Revue travestied a number
of the Broadway hits of its era.
Not until Charlot's Revue and
the FIRST Little Show" came
along was it's average for smart
fun even approached. I hope Pro
ducer Cohan will stick to his
often announced plan of doing
another Cohan revue. You may
be sure it will be both clean and

For $1OO, he will pose as waiter,

Actors Equity has discovered
the new low for professional
recompense. The "Pearly GATES"
Company, of sepia actors, were
signed for a remuneration which
consisted of meals and car fare.
The troupe offered a combina-

drama, opened in Chicago before
Screen Pastures" and promptly
skidded to a record-breaking
flop. When Equity inquired it
found that the actors had been
loaded on to two busseS and
toted back to Atlanta, Ga.
