My MAX RIDDLE NEA Turf Writer

Although he finished third be- hind Plat Eye in the recent Chesapeake Stakes at Harve de Grace, Mrs Walter M. Jefford's Commonwealth proved his stand. ing as one of the prime favorites for the Kentucky Derby is not pte judiced.
 Held in restraint for most of the race, he moved up rapidly when re- leased, and was closing fast as the race finished.
 The horse, after training at Ser lin, Mr., where the weather always is warm, appears to be at the peak of condition.
 The aptly-named son of Bostoh- ian and Etoile DOT was not overly sound when he first was placed in training, and did not start unti; the Saratoga meeting. He has, however, performed soundly ever since. He developed into the cracl.

At first 1t was suggested that a benefit game featuring the Sacred Heart, defending champions, and the Washington Hills be held this Sunday as an exhibition at the cast end diamond, but the Hearts have negotiations under way for a game with the Washington Town team in Washington on that date.
 Collectors To Be Dropped
 It was also agreed that q new system of collections would be tried out this year. Instead of hay- ing the collectors canvass the crowd once they were inside the ball park, this year four men will be stationed at the four gates near a big table and take the contribu- tions as the fans pass through the turnstiles.
 HadIcy Seeks Ump.rc's Job
 Only one more application for umpiring was received, that from Harold Hadley, local shoe sales man, and a member of the abritra- tors staff last summer. The pre- vious week only two others applied for berths, namely Dick Tuckey of Naugatuck and Ralph Ruggles, former Public Parks league official. Opening Games Set
 The schedule for the opening games a week from Sunday were drawn up and will feature in the 1 o'clock attraction, Harry Mel wins Sacred Hearts, last years winners, and Myles Kelley's Brook lyn A. c. In the o'clock tilt on the first diamond, Kenny Ouimet's Thomas club will oppose Tom Pur- cells Washington Hills while on the second diamond at the same time George Trask's Recreations will show their wares against Tip per" Conley's Tribunes. The um- pires will be named at next Mon days circuit meeting.
 Scorers Named
 George T. Dillon of The Water bury Democrat and William J. O. Donnell of the Republican, were named for the foutrh consecutice year to handler the weekly SCOT ing.
 The members represented at the meeting voted to extend an invl- tation to Lieut4Goy Frank Hayes to throw out the first ball at the opening, Sunday, May 12. at the start of the 4 o'clock game. An invitation will be extended to many other executive celebrities to at tend the opening.

1 of the late fall season in Nary land.
 If Commonwealth should win the Kentucky Derby, he indeed will have come from the lowliest of places to the highest; for either because of his supposed unsound- ness, or his sluggishness in tfe sprints, Commonwealth began rac- ing among platers. He did not dc so well in that class, for he was able to win only two of five starts.
 In his first race he was 1th. In his next, he gave a grand ex- hibition, coming from 12th to win. Taken to Maryland, he won in the mud and was then second in d $3500 claimer. He followed this with another second.
 But Commonwealth had dore with the platter ranks. He found a spot in a mile md 70 yarGa handicap. With only 9S pounds up, he beat formidable band of older sprinters, including tn. crack High Glee, Okapi, Chatmoss and Dark Winter. As usual. hc was sluggish it the start and had to circle the field.
 His next was an allowance ra .e against horses of his own age. Aft ter slow start he stoTmed out oi last place, ran his field into the ground, and won by no less than 10 lengths.
 To prove this no fluke. he gave away weight to all except his sta blemate, Firethorn, came from seventh place, and won the Endur- ance Handicap by six lengths. None of the 12 previous winners of this fall fixture ever turned in so commanding a performance.
 Apparently this horse will like a distance. Like Chance Sun, he revels in mud, but has won on T fast track as well. Weight should not stop him, though he never has carried the Derby load of 126 pounds.

Big Cawk May Be Just That, But He's Thompson Trained

Buddy Bauer, which Thompson prepared for the 1927 Derby, was left flat footed at the post. but ran over horses trying to reach the leaders, Whiskery, Osmond, and Jock. Many believed that Buddy Bauer could have licked that field. He later repelled Whiskery in the Fairmount Derby.
 In 192 the Bradley barn counted heavily on. Busy Ameri- can to take the measure of Nor vich, but that colt of blazing speed broke down after the first quarter.

HARRY CRIMSON

Lexington, Ky. April 30.-They call him Derby Dick because he has saddled so many winners of the Kentucky Derby. His real name is Herbert J. Thompson, but what racegoers are more interested in Is whether he is training his fifth Kentucky Rerby victor on the white-fenced Idle Hour farm of Colonel Edward Riley Bradley here.
 Thompson's candidates in he big number of May are Boxthorn, one of the ranking juveniles of 1884, and Big Gawk, untried, long legged, and aptly named.
 No other trainer ever saddled four wInners of the famous mile and a quarter test at Churchill Downs. The great majority of them are extremely fortunate if they turn out Derby winner once in a lifetime.
 But Thompson has seen Behave Yourself; Bubbling Over and his bouncing boy, Burgoo King; and Brokers Tip, all pointed for the event by him, come home on top. Derby Dick has watched his horses finish one-two on two oc- casions.
 Behave Yourself was the Brad ley-Thompson combinations first Derby winner in 1921. He barely beat his stablemate, Black Servant. Bubbling over came along in 1926 to score the easiest of Thompson 5 Derby triumphs. The big chest nut merely galloped in ahead of the field, with his running mate. Bagen5aggage, second.

Bradlcy's Best Horse Han Out of Money

Burgoo King picked up where his pappy left off and made 1t threo Derbies for Thompson when he beat Economic, Stepenfetchit,. and some more in 1882. The lightly regarded Brokers Tip made 1t two in row and four in all for Dcrb, Dick in a neVer-to-be- be-forgotten finish with Head Play, as the rivaI jockeys. Meade, aboard the winner and Fisher tough down the stretch
 Two other Thompson rain ed thoroughbre shared in Derby spells. Bet Mosie, coupled with Busy American in 1922, ran sec ond to Norwich after his stable make broke down on the club house turn. Beau Butler ran Gold ond Chilhowee in 1924.
 Thompson has started 13 colts In the famous Bluegrass fixture and eight have finished in the money.
 Any other trainer gladly would settle for record like that, but Thompson hardly Is satisfied.
 "The greatest horse l ever trained finished out of he money" says Derby Dick. He re. fers to Blue Larkspur, of course
 Thompson underwent an emer. gency operation two days before Blue Larkspjur's Derby of 1929 which went to Clyde Van Duser over Il sloppy track.
 Many attribute Blue Larkspur's defeat to the fact that Derby Dick wasn't on hand to tell the rider how the grand animal should have been rated in the heavy go- ing.
 Blue Larkspur went on to whiI and acquire the 3-year-old cham pionship.

 Watch Rules Closely
 The board urges anglers to be particularly observant this spring of the rights of riparian landown. CTS and of the regulations in ef- feet on the public waters. These require anglers to keep within 10 feet of the streams and to use fence step-overs where provided to protect walls and fences. They forbid crossing of cultivated fields and building fires without author ity. Parking in front of barways is forbidden as well as use of arti' ficial lures with more than one hook, and spears. Specific regu- lations are posted along all streams.

Hartford, April 12-Connecti- cuts trout fishing season opens next Monday with the largest number of state-regulated streams available since the public trout stream plan was launched, it was announced to-day by the State Board of Fisheries and Game. Re- cent stream acquisitions bring the total to S5, comprising approx imately 25O miles of some of the best trout waters in the state.
 In addition to the state-regulat- ed streams, the board announces that about 400 other stocked streams will be open to anglers. These do not include streams which have been stocked by indt- viduals or private clubs. Under the boards neY cooperative regu- lated fishing plan, approximately 76 miles of waters have been ac- Quired.
 Favored by passable country roads earlier than usual this spring, Kenneth Cobb, in charge of trout planting, reports pre- season stocking of all leased streams with over 65,000 adult trout has been completed. AD- proximately 10000 more, weigh ing up to two and one-half pounds each, are being held for distribu- tion later.
 So that anglers may be pre- pared with sturdy tackle for some unusual thrills, the board an- nounced to-day the localities where. 97 brown, brook and rain bow trout, weighing up to five pounds, were released. These were donated to the board by the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries and the states of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine following exhibition at the recent Sportsmen's Show in Hart ford. They were planted as fol- lows: lower Salmon river, Middle. sex county; Green Falls reservoir, Voluntown; lower and middle Housatonic river; lower Farming ton river and Willimantic river.
 A total of 100000 Menominee whitefish fry and 323 golden trout, land-locked salmon and lake trout fingerlings received from the Sportsmen's Show were planted in Lake Wononscopomuc, Lakeville. This lake is believed to be the only body of water in the state suitable for these species.
 New Laws in Force
 Anglers are advised of three new laws just enacted by the Gen. eral Assembly. It is now illegal for an individual to transport more than the legal daily creel limit of 15 trout at time. One day has been added to the trout season. It now runs from April 15 to July 16, both dates inclusive. The season for angling for shad at Salmon river is now April 20 to July 15, inclusive.
 The season for pond and lake fishing also opens Monday. Pick erel, wall-eyed pike, perch and lake trout may be taken. The sea- son on black and calico bass, how ever, remains closed until July 1st.
 The state-leased trout streams arc:
 Hartford county-Salmon brook, east and west branches, Granby; Blackledge river, Marlboro; and Quinnipiac river, Southington.
 New Haven county-Farm river, East Haven; Branford river, Bran- ford (section reserved for women about Route 139 bridge for fy- fishing with woman warden in- structor in charge); Mill river, Hamden; Pine or Muddy river, Clintonv ville- East Wallingford; Shepaug river, Southbury and Pomeraug river, Southbury.
