The east has won the last three derbies but the west apparently has an even chance for victory Saturday despite the fact that an eastern representative, Tick On, now is favorite.
 In 1929 the ,west's strongest reps resentative, Blue Larkspur, went to the post the favorite but finished fourth behind Clyde Van. Dusen The cast won again in 1880 with Gallant Fox and in 1881 with Twetny Grand.
 Here They Are
 The four leading hopes of each. section to-day appeared to be:
 East-Tick On. Universe, Eco- homie, Stepenfetchit. .-
 West-Brother Joe, Burgoo King, Liberty Limited, Gallant Sir.
 The uncertainty of racing as so tragically illustrated by the defeat of Top Flight, Invincible as Q g. year. old, and the crippling of Burning Blaze on the same day may bring trouble to other con- tenders between now and the bugle call.
 Top Flight had been the casts leading contender and Burning Blaze the vests. 2"
 Liberty Limited, the Three D's entry, is once more back in the picture, with n mile workout yes- terday in 1:42 3-5.
 Col E. R. Bradley's Pari, Burgoo King and Brother Joe, loomed more formidable also.
 Eyes on Gallant Sir
 Eleven Derby eligibles will com pete to-day in the 1-mile prepara- tion purse at Churchill Downs and one horse which will be most closely watched is Gallant Sir. owned by the Northway stable of California.
 Gallant Sir came from the far west touted as real dark horse after beating most of the hest horses at Tanforan, but has sulked in training at Churchill Downs. He Is almost ns big as Phar Lap, tho ill-fated Australian champion, and to have a long stride suitable for mile and quarter route.
 Indefinite v
 The derby possibilities of three other horses. Prince Hotspur, nominated by the late Joseph Lett CT. Cold Check, owned by J. W. Parrish of Kentucky. and Saberac, owned by A. B. Letellicr. will prob ably be settled In the preparation purse.

Ever since the first internation- al Walker Cup matches were play. ed at Southampton, N. r., 10 years ago Francis Ouimet has been a member of the team.
 Ouimet is captain of the team that will meet the British this year at the Brookline Country Club and try to keep clean the record of never having lost to the British.
 But your guess is as good as the groceryman's as to the men who will hold down the other seven DO. . sitions on the American team this year.
 Bobby Jones, captain of the 1880 team. has retired. George Won Elm has turned businessman golfer" Roland Mackenzie end Doc Willing who were hot in other years, have cooled off. Jess Sweetser, also member of last years team, is out of 1t for business reasons.
 It Is Improbable that Harrison Johnston, former amateur cham pion will make the team. He failed to qualify for the amateur since winning 1t ut Pebble Beach In 1929. Don Moe also failed to qualify for the amateur last year, but he prob ably will be reserved u position due to his fine showing in 1880.
 It appears that, with the excep- tlon of George Voight, whose choice seems to be a foregone conclusion, youngsters will make up the rest of the team. Among these Gene Ho- mans is the outstanding candidate. Romans was an alternate on tha 1880 team and tied Jones for the medal at Pebble Beach, but like Jones went out in the first round. He was ruiner-up when Jones com pleted tli, cycle at Merion.
 George DuE.ap, holder of the ln- tercollegiate for two years, cannot be overlooked. He recently won the North and South Amateur for the second time.
 A sure bet will be Johnny I.eh- mann. He has done well in anna teur championships, winning the western in 1030 and tying for the medal last year.
 Jack Westland Is ready for Wal ker Cup play. He was runner-up to Oulmet in the umateur last year and Is former French amateur champion. If he plays as well this summer, he surely will make the team.
 If 19-year-old Billy Howell had a little moro experience, he would be the eighth member. Golfers still talk about his match with Oui- met in the semi.flnals last year when he lost 2-l.
 But picking the eighth member Is a hard assignment. There still must be considered such leading players as Lawson Little. Lester Bolstad, Maurice Mccarthy, Ducky Yates, Charley Seaver and Johnny Goodman.
 Mccarthy seems to rank. He was alternate on the 1880 team. and metropolitan champion the same year. He went to the semi-ilnals in the amateur, losing to Jack Vest land, 3-2. He Is the chap, by the way, who made the 21b-yard hole in-one on the 17th at Merion in the qualifying round.
 Here Is the team that probably wll start against the Britishers: Francis Oulmet (captain), Donald Moe, George Volght, Gene Romans, George Dunlap, Johnny Lehman, Jack Westland and Maurice Me- Carthy, and alternates Lester Bol. stad and Lawson Little.

Although he knows it's import ance, tho average golfer neglects the complete follow through. It should be impressed on his mind that any attempt to get the correct follow through affects the action of the body before the ball Is hit.
 In the baclsswing the left arm should Do straight and tine right elbow tucked in close to the side. As the downswing gets under way thc left hand holds the tighter grip on the club. At impact of club head and ball tho right shoulder should bo lower than the left. with both right and left arm straight.
