PHILADELPHIA. MAY 2.-The
American Olympic committee today
faced possibility of reducing the
number of teams and entrants
which will represent the United
STAGES at the Olympic games in Los
Angeles this summer, because only
$4,000 of the necessary S350.000
fund has been raised.
In announcing this shortage of
funds last night. Avery Brundage,
president of the committee, ex-
planned that if the $3.50 900 is raised,
the United States will enter teams
in twenty events. But if the fund
raising campaign falls short, the
committee will enter only as many
teams as it can finance.

The Indianapolis times., 1932-05-02


Top Flight, unbeaten in seven
successive races as a juvenile, fin
ished fourth in the Wood Memorial.
Burning Blaze was cut down in
winning a 6I5 -furlong race at
Churchill Downs when a small ten
don at the back of the heel was
severed by another horse in round
ing the stretch turn.
Liberty Limited Hurt
Liberty Limited, fourth choice in
the winter book, nursed a slightly
cracked heel and a minor leg abra-
sion which may prevent the Three
DIS stock farm from going to the
post.
Evening. a filly not eligible for
the Derby showed up nine other
Derby eligibles in winning the
Chesapeake stakes at Havre De
Grace.
Springsteel finished out of the
money in the Chesapeake stakes,
after beating Tick On in mile and
seventy yards race on Wednesday.
In the new line of contenders ap-
peared prominently today the names
of Burgoo King and Brother Joe,
Colonel e. r. Bradley's Kentucky
born and bred entry; Universe and
Economic. which ran one-two in the
Wood Memorial and Stepenfetchit,
which ran second in the Chesa-
peake stakes.
Bradley Chances Good
There is a difference of opinion
as to which is the better horse, Bur-
goo King or Brother Joe. but there
is no argument to the fact that Col.
Bradley has perhaps the strongest
Derby hand in the light Of last
weeks disastrous results for other
Derby candidates.
Colonel Bradley has told his
friends he regards Brother Joe as
his best bet, but Burgoo King is
the better colt on his 2-year-old
record. Last February, odds Of
400-l we're quoted against Brother
Joe. The price on Colonel Bradleys
double entry Derby may go to
81 or lower.
Universe, owned by T. M. Cassidy,
was 40-1 in the winter book ten
days ago. but his victory in the
Wood Memorial has cut his price 10
81.
Eighteen May Start
The fact that the last Wood Me-
mortal winners. Gallant Fox in 1880.
and Twenty Grand in 1881, have
gone on to win the Derby Is going
to swing a lot Of play to Universe.
With prospects Of a wide-open
race now that Top Flight has been
shown up as too small and effemin-
ate to compete with colts and other
contenders have been eliminated,
the field is likely TO number any
where from fourteen TO eighteen.
Last year only twelve started when
Twenty Grand set the Derby record
of 2:01 As for the mile and a quar-
ter. The record number Of starters
is twenty-five in 1928 when Reign
Count won.
The following are considered pos
sible starters: Tick On, Burgoo
King, Brother Joe, Universe, Cold
Check, Rowdy Boy. Liberty Limited.
Gallant Sir. Cathop, Prince Hotspur,
Gee Tee, Economic. Curacao. Lar
ranaga, Lucky Tom, Mad Frump,
Stepenfetchit. Springsteel. Overtime.

The Indians have compiled a
splendid record, consisting of ten
victories and five defeats, but in
spite of the grand showing certain
spots in the lineup are beginning to
worry the club chiefs and the coun-
try is being secuted for talent. es-
pecially for an outfelder capable of
walloping the sphere.
Hale Weak in Field
Furthermore. Sammy Hale at
third base is letting too many drives
skip through him and there has
been very little hitting out of the
backstop department. Hale weak
ness in the field has come to the
surface gradually and it is a big
question now if his batting power
Will offset his inability to cover

but there are other matters I'D for
settlement If the robust receiver is
to remain with the Indians.

filed bid for Jenkins and was in
formed an objection on the part of
Milwaukee eliminated Indianapolis.
The Brewers are controlled by the
Browns, and owing to the bitter
rlValary that has developed between
the Home Brews and Hoosiers the
Milwaukee officials used their inf1u-
ence and knocked the Tribe out of
the fly chaser.
The strange part of the matter is
the fact that there is no chance for
jenkins to go to Milwaukee be-
cause of an order issued by Judge
K. M. Lands, commissioner Of
baseball. Jenkins was "farmed" to
the Brewers before, and Lands
ruled he could not be sent again to
club operating under st. Louis
ownership.
COOney Hit Hard
Just few days ago the Indians
thought they had a deal arranged
for catcher Russ Young of the
Browns, only to learn Milwaukee
had stepped in ahead and landed
the backStop. The Tribe chiefs are
not disturbed a whole lot. how
ever, on the reception met on some
Of their offers and will continue to
look for athletes capable OF bolster
ing the machine.
The contest in Kansas City Sun
day practically was decided in the
opening inning when the Blues
scored twice on triple by Taylor,
double by Grigsby and a single by
Boken. 1t was hard inning for
Johnny Cooney, because Taylor's
triple came after one down and
was on a long fly misjudged in the
wind by Curt Walker.
In the second. the Tribe scored
its lone marker of the tilt on dou-
bles by Sigafoos and Fitzgerald
The third run chalked up by K. c..
came in the eighth when Kelly
beat out an infield roller and kept
running all the way to third when
Coonney fielded the sphere and
made a wild throw to first. A sim
gle by Dunlap scored Kelly.

HOOVER BELIEVES BONUS
 BILL NEVER BE PASSED

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.- President Hoover is firmly con- vinced the soldiers bonus bills now before Congress have not the slightest chance of becoming law. He believes if the House should pass the bonus bill, the Senate will defeat it. And if the Senate should pass it, he will use the veto.
 According to the Administration estimates of the bonus, directly or indirectly, would cost the country $2,400,000,000 whether 1t was paid with government bond issue or by an issue of new currency as pro- vided by the Patman bill.
 The President feels the country at this time can not bear such an added burden and if Congress does not prevent it, he will.
