SLOAN HORSE
IN BAD WAY

SANTA ANITA TRACK, AREA.
Ola, Cal, Feb. 15.-What price
Cavalcade starting in the big race?
Just about 10 to l to 500 to
that he won't, according to the va
rious degrees of certainty on the
part of practically every compe-
tent trainer on the grounds here.
1t may be good publicity to let
on as if the mighty Cavalcade star
has a good chance to go in the
100000 Santa Anita, and maybe
he has. But if he does, then every
reliable horSeman at the track has
guessed wrong.
CavalcadeS right front hoof is
so sore that he can't get a shoe
on. Asked about it, Bob Smith,
the horses genial trainer, said:
"Get a shoe on? 1 can't even
get bedroom slippers on him."
Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloan, Caval.
cade'S owner, arrives from the
East tomorrow morning, but de.
cision to withdraw the horse may
hang fire until the day before the
running of the race. The nomina-
ton fees have been paid for
Cavalcade and his owner has a
right to wait until 10:30 a. M,
Friday, the day before the race,
to decide whether he is fit enough
to try for the hundred grand
purse.

Florida Turf Gossip
By Paddock

HIALEAH PARK, Fla, Feb. IS.
Tom Kearney, of st. Louis, con-
sidered the outstanding "Commis-
sioner" in the country has quoted
w. Sachsenmaier's Roman Soldier
6 to /, to win the $4,000 added
Florida Derby to be run at Hia-
leah, March 9, and only IL to l
to win the Kentucky Derby in
May.
When Roman Soldier demon
strated in his last race that he is
the outstanding 3-year-old at Hia-
leah 6 to l seems big price on
the colt to win the Florida
classic. Col. Edward Riley Brad
ley's great filly Black Helen which
has not faced the barrier this year
has been quoted at 8 to l by
Kearney, while in the Kentucky
Derby her odds are 20 to /.
j. H. Loucheim's Morpluck
which will be shipped down from
Columbia, S. c., to start in the
Florida Derby has been quoted at
10 to l.
Ran With Best
This youngster ran with the
best in the fall meeting at Mary
land and the long route of mile
and one-eighth will be much in
his favor. Mrs. Charles Bromley
recent acquired Brannon which
won his last race rather easily is
also quoted at 10 to l and 20 to
in the Kentucky Derby.

Ray Won Dreele, I don't see how
we can lOSe."
Eddie failed to mention his
own name, but everyone con.
nected with the duckpin game
knows that he is bowler Of
the highest caliber.
Won Campbell
He recently won the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes with a
powerful 1857. Ollie finished
second with 1924 after leading
the pack for two blocks.
Besides Espey, Pacini and Won
Dreele, the Pigs point with ex-
ceptional pride to Perce Wolfe,
Roy Barnes, Wilmer Robey and
Gene Hargett. These men have
participated in numerous bowl
ing battles and have always given
a good account of themselves.
The Pigs initial stop will be
Bridgeport, where they conclude
their match tonight with Lou
Dewey's Connecticut Yankees in
team, doubles and singles. The
Yanks are leading the locals in
the team match by 80 pins.
Roll in Eastern
Tomorrow, Pacini, Espey,
Robey, Won Dreele and Barnes,
and possibly Wolfe will partici-
pate in the Eastern Sweepstakes,
New England Stakes classic, at
Willimantic.
Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
Pig n Whistle faces the famed
Blue Ribbons in team, doubles
and singles, at Willimantic. Sun
day night at 8 o'clock Pacini and
ESpey will roll with the Won
Dreele All-Stars against the Blue
Ribbons at Hartford.
Another Washington duckpin
aggregation will seek prestige in
Connecticut. The combination is
none other than the Occidentals.
They bowl the strong Blue Rib
bons today, and tomorrow at
least four will compete in the
Eastern Sweepstakes.
