HEAD PLAY IS
FAVORITE At
BAY MEADOWS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN MATEO, Calf. March %
1t rained all night and northern
California S richest horse race, the
SIS 900 Bay Meadows hadicap, will
be run today over a muddy track.
Gloom was everywhere at the Bay
Meadows course today except around
the barn of Mrs. Silas b. Mason
of New York, who owns Head Play,
the horse which just missed WIN
ming the Kentucky derby in 1882
in one of the most spectacular fin
ishes in the history of that famous
race.
Head Play, now five years old, is
considered one of the best mudders
on the American turf. He IS 7-5 in
the morning line, and may go to
the post at even money. The track
is made to order for Head Play and
if he doesn't win it will be a bigger
upset than Azucar's victory in the
100000 Santa Anita handicap last
month.
Eight horses were named over
night to start in the mile and an
eighth race. The overnight entries
with probable odds: Head Play,
7-5; Top Row, So; Ladysman and
Bluebeard couple das the w, r. Coe
entry, 5-2 Time Supply, 81: Gusto

Charley Kurtsinger, the blond
Louisville, KY, boy who rode Twen-
ty Grand in his record-breakine
Kentucky victory in 1881, will be ur
on Head Play. Harry Richards will
have the leg up on Ladysman. Tom

to Victory in the Bay Meadows
handicap last year, will be astridt

MAKO-BUDGE
OUT TO SHOW
PERRY WRONG

LOS ANGELES, March %. U.R)-
Frederick J. Perry, the British ten
MS star, may know the game from
top to bottom but couple of 49,
year-old California youngsters hoped
to prove TO him today that he
doesn't know much about picking
Davis cup talent.
Perry shook his head doubtfully
recently when informed that Gene
Mako and Donald Bulge, the two
youthful racket artists, appeared to
be America s foremost Davis cup
doubles prospects.
"Too inexperienced" said the
Britisher who lately has occupied
himself with issuing vigorous de-
mails to reports that he is to become
q professional. "Give them a few
more years, and then perhaps.'
Mako and Bulge will take the
courts tonight against Perry and
Francis X. Shields, the American
Davis cup player, in an effort to
prove to everyone. and to Mr.. Perry
in particular that they should be
given berths on the Davis cup team.

The Athletics infield, except for
Alex Hooks at first in place of jim
my Foxx, who has returned to
catching, is a veteran combination.
It finds Dib Williams at second,
Pinky Higgins at third, and Eric
McNail at short. The outfield has
Bob johnson at left, Roger Cramer
at center, and Ed Coleman in right.
They are hold-overs. AS a first

chased from Galveston last fall.

ROBOT PLANE:
GRE N SPLITS

OAKLAND, March %. U.P)-The
crew which was to have manned q
robot plane Oh a flight to Honolulu
and return went separate ways to-
day, parted apparently by controY-
ersy over the refusal Of the u. S.
department of commerce to ap-
prove the transpacific flight.
The ''blow-off'' came soon after
the crew returned last night from
an all-day test flight in a rainstorm
365 miles west of San Francisco.
Major Chester A. Snow, in charge
of the mystery plane, announced
his resignation from a post in the
bureau of aeronautics, department
of commerce. Capt Clayton Bis
sell, U. S. army air corps, announc-
ed he was returning Immediately TO
Honolulu Charles Snyder, a COM
merce department expert, said he
was withdrawing from the crew.
None of the three would comment
on the reasons for their actions
but it was well known that Snow
especially had been irked by in
ability to receive final sanction for
a Honolulu flight.
Capt. Alfred w. Hegenberger, who
was to have been navigator for the
flight, and Major Jones, a radio ex-
pert, alone remained on the ground.
They awaited further orders while
the plane rested in a hangar at the
Oakland airport.
