 Stephenson and was thrown out by yards by Paul Waner. In the ninth inning yesterday Wilson got on base on force out, and Manager Horns- by sent in Danny Taylor to run for him.
 A popluar idol with Cubs fans when he is on his game, Wilson is frequently jeered by his fickle ad- mirers when he hits slump. Three lemons were tossed at his chunky frame as he came to bat in the opening game.
 $75O n Week
 Only two players in baseball make more money than Wilson. They are Babe Ruth with his $S0,000 salary and Hornsby who draws $40.000 as a player-manager. Wilson's salary Is $35,000.
 Last season the short, stumpy outfielder with the wrestler's neck hit 56 home runs to establish new National League record and lead Babe Ruth and all other major league players.

Former Editor "Thc Also Ran" Louisville, Ky, April 16.-With several other well-known colonels l am on the scene of the Kentucky Derby which IS to be run next month, and because of my excellent stable connections will be able to give you winner before long. saw horse named Ormesby working out the other day. guess he was named after Red Ormesby. the American League umpire. l don't know who's going to ride Ormesby, but if he gets half the rid ing that Red gets as umpire, he can be figured as lin" right now. Which, of course. is only by way of pun ming. (Ha, haD
 Equipoise is going to be the fa- vorite, I am told. He was beaten a couple of times as two-year-old, they tell me down here, but the horses that beat him weren't nearly as good a horse as Equipoise, so guess that don't mean anything.
 asked the hardboots around here if they didn't pay off on the horses that beat Equipoise last year, but they just laughed and said you don't understand.
 Twenty Grand beat Equipoise a couple of times, but the touts down here tell me the horses must not be rated off those performances. Both times Equipoise was standing at the post looking back at the barn and thinking about a nice big buck ct of oats when the race started. But, that don't count. The people that cashed on Twenty Grand didn't know horses. so whatever dough they collected wasn't smart money"
 There are some things about horse races l still don't understand.
