 Sergeant Byrne, brilliant winner of the East View and Remsen Stakes against horses of his own age, and of the International Speed Test Handicap against older horses, will be the entry of J. Simonetti in the Kentucky Derby.
 Judging both from his record and his appearance, Sergeant Byrne should be unable to go more than mile in high-class company. As a 2-year- -old, he had every mark of sprinter only. But ap- pearances and records can be de- captive, and in any case, sprinters have won the Derby-Morvich was one.
 Possibly not even Norwich could sprint faster than Sergeant Byrne at least in the muddy going. The International Speed Test Handicap can attest that fact, for in that event he outran and outgamed such field as Flying Heels, Good Advice, and the Australian horse, Winooka.
 Few of the Derby candidates were given as strenuous a 2-year- old campaign as Sergeant Byrne. He began early and finished late racing IS times. However, he seemed to thrive on work, won six races, and was second and third twice each.
 He retired for the season 1T sound condition.
 
 It was after the Junior Cham pion Stakes that doubt was ex pressed concerning Sergeant Byrnt viously set fast pace for the first three quarters of the Champagne Stakes. only to tire at the end He repeated that performance in the Junior Champion.
 But should Sergeant Byrne de- velop into high-class "miler," he might win the Derby as Norwich did. A sprinter must always be run down. True, he usually beats himself with those shortening strides, but the rear horses must pass him, and it's in the rear that the jams and misfortunes of rac- ing luck occur.
 Sergeant Byrne is a son of Stimulus, as is Riskulus, the latter now co-favorite with Sir Thom- as for the Derby honors.
 Riskulus is proved horse at the distance, and this other son of Stimulus may show a reversal of form, especially if 1t rains on Derby day.

Above Is a mlnnOw, favored
 food of trout in high, rolly
 water center Is buck
 tail fly and below Is the
 same bucktaiI, which has talk
 en on the shape Of a minnOw
 due to action Of the water. because, since there are no hatch es, there are no dead flies in the water.
 During this period of year. buck tails are exceptionally effective. Tied on long g-shanked hooks, from size to 12. they are especially appealing to the larger trout which turk in deep water at the end of a run or under Q cutin bank.
 The appeal in these flies is in their resemblance to minnows. When wet, the hair clings to the body and tapers off to the shape of minnow, and it Is this attmc- tion that catches your trout--es- pecially the big brownies.
 The same appeal is had In a streamer fy--the long feathers making up the tail of the fly cling together to form the minnow shape.
 Fish the bucktail across and down during the spring. If fished 'up, it loses a lot of action until 1t washes down to a point where the line exerts drag.

 Not So Bad
 Smith played in 22 tournaments and was second high money wfn- ner with approximately $5,000 to his credit. He won only one tour nament-the Masters at Augusta with score of 70-72-70-72-2S4 but he finished well up in the money in practically all of them. For the 62 rounds he played he used up 4,526 strokes or an aver age of 73 strokes per round.
 This is his greatest winter rec- ord since 1928-29, when he sky rocketed to golfing fame and set the high money record of $15,500 by winning 13 tournaments.
 "I played well during the winter, and am in great physical and men- tai shape, so 1 guess this ought to be the year for me to make a strong bid for the national open title" Smith said.
 The Augusta tournament was termed by Smith as the necest tournament I ever played in."
 Bobby Jones was true host. perhaps too good for his golf game" said Smith.

Early season trout fishing is hard on the dry fly purist. This more or less snooty individual is out of luck as a rule when 1t comes to filling his creel, because water conditions at this time of year aren't conducive to catching trout with floating flies.
 For this reason the logical way to take trout is by means of under- water lures-minnows, angle worms, bucktails. wet flies, or nymphs. Any wet fly used during this period is taken as a nymph

Trotting Ne1Us
Canada

Toronto. Can., April-tSpecial) Returning to this city after a lapse of two years, the Grand Circuit will help Toronto celebrate its tooth anniversary with six days of the speediest of trotting, July 1925, according to Marvin M Smith, secretary of the meeting who announces that $20,- 900 already is up for early closing events.
 Rejoining the major trotting horse loop through the re-awak- ened interest of Toronto citizens anxious to stage premier sports event in connection with their cen- tennial fete, and the work of Will jam Fl. Cane, "czar" of the Grand Circut, this Canadia metropolis bids fair to make the other 10 cities comprising the big harness league look to their laurels.
 The Progressive purse for trot- ters and the Progressive purse for pacers both promise to fill heavily with an assortment of fast-record harness racers that will jolt To- rontians to the edge of their seats in the Thorncliffe park plant. Their third stop on the Roarin' Grand, trotters and wigglers should be in their prime when they reach here, MT Smith believes, daily checking over new entries for early events. which close April 28.
