Ex-M|DDLE KINGS BATTLE TONIGHT
BrOnillard Set to Face Steele If Winner Over
 Terry Yarose

Boston, May 7.-(UP).-Two for mer worlds middleweight cham pions, Teddy Yarosz of Pittsburgh and Lou Brouillard of Worcester, battle for 10 rounds or less tonight with a common objective-a crack at Champion Freddie Steele.
 In all, three former rniddleweight kings will be in the ring before the fight starts. Vince Dundee, who won the title in 1883 from Brouillard and lost it the following year to Yarosz, will be on hand to challenge the winner.
 Close Bout?
 Yarosz rules slight favorite as result of recent victories over Babe Risko, who stripped the 25-year -old Pittsburgher of his crown; Ken Overlin and Solly Krieger, who popped Harry Balsamo out of the picture.
 Brouillard's last battle was the Paris f1asco in which he apparently knocked out the international box ing champion, Marcel Thil of France in February, yet was declared a loser on a foul and drew a life time suspension from the I. B. U. in the bargain.
 The Worcester southpaw's man. ager, Johnny Buckley, said he planned to match Brouillard with Steele for a championship bout at one of the local baseball parks this summer in the event he wins to- night.

 Chicago, April 29.-Spring foot ball is drawing to 8 close in the middle west, where they go into it more thoroughly than elsewhere.
 Spring football in various sec tions varies from two weeks of calisthenics and light drill to six weeks of intensive workouts, in- cluding scrimmage and a regular intrasquad game once week.
 Most coaches find the spring drill as vital1y necessary as fall practice. Very few schools skip training. Chicago was an excep- tion this year. There were not enough boys available to hold the workouts. This is another indi- cation that the Marooon, which once ruled it, now is over it's head in the Western Conference.
 Spring training is not as inten- sive in the east and on the Pacific coast as it is in Big Ten terri tory and the south. This is due to the fact that spring sports are big stuff on the eastern and western SeaboardS.
 Most of the schools conclude spring training with an annual clinic. Visiting coaches drop in to learn something. The Pitts burg and other clinics have be- come famous.
 The spring practice, coaches as a rule work with new men-up- coming freshmen and the reserves of the previous campaign. Many

BRASS CITY RACE AT AGAWAM SET FOR EARLY JUNE.
MuIIigan to Present Floral Horseshoe to Winner;
 Open May %

Springfield, May 7-The condi- ton book for the first seven days of the Agawam meeting was issued this morning, and disclosed the fact that four handicaps, featuring the outstanding sprinterS and routers on the grounds, will be decided dur ing the first week.
 On opening day, May 20. the Aga wam Handicap, six furlongS event with a purse of 5000 for three year olds and upwards, will be the fea- ture event, and on Monday. May 31, legal holiday, the Memorial Day handicap will be held.
 The Memorial Day Cap will also be for purse of 5000. It will be a mile race for three year olds and upwards, and judging by the tremendous interest in the ap- preaching 36-day meeting, more than 5O,0O0 lovers of the thorough bred will watch the two opening handicaps. ..,
 Brass City Special
 On Wednesday, June 2, the Wa terbury Handicap will feature the eight-race card. It will be for three-year olds rated in Glass c. and they will do battle for purse of $500. George Mulligan, famous Waterbury sportsman, has been in- vited to watch the five and half furlongs race from the stewards stand, and in all probability, he will present the winning sprinter with a floral horseshoe.
 The closing day of the first full week will have the Stonehaven Handicap as its piece de resistance. as we say over our tea and tiffin, or beer and skittles, as the case may be. It will be race over mile and one sixteenth course for three year olds and upward in Class c, and it is expected to provide bril- liant climax to the finest week of racing in the history of Agawam Park.
 Racing Secretary M. 0. (Ty) Shea also revealed definitely that post time will be 2:15. The condition book is already on the way to hun- dreds of horsemen throughout the East, and opinion among experts on the matter is that it will make a de- cidedly favorable impression on owners and trainers.
 It emphasizes the fact that Gen. eral Manager Eddie Brennan and Racing Secretary Ty Shea are seek

Curchill Downs, Louisville, Ky, May 6-Tomorrow I will give you the winner of the Kentucky derby. I could do it now, for I already have this information, but I fear the consequences. Too many dread full things might happen. A revela- ton at this time would surely rock the universe, and who wants to be all shaken up like a vanilla frappe?
 If I blow the whistle now, as we say over the club, can you guess what will happen? Well, in the first place, there'd be no use in running the derby. Col. Matt Vim could just pay of the winner and we'd all have to go home. But I'm not quite ready to go home, for Louis- vile is such delightful place in the spring. You may get hold of a worm julep and a cold blonde once in a while, but you can't blame that on the town-it is likely to happen in zanesville or Florida just as easily.
 But that isn't what I'm getting at. My disclosures would have far deeped significance than just the social side. You remember black Friday don't you? well, that holo- caust wouldn't hold a candle to Me- Lemore Saturday. Factories would shut down. The breadlines would be endless, railroad and steamships would stop running, our entire transportation system would be par- alyzed. Hydrants would raise their legs to kick dogs. Peggy Joyce would brand matrimony a snare and 8 de- fusion. Dizzy Dean would say, T have nothing to say, gentlemen"
 So yor see I can't very well tell you until tomirrow.
 But enough of this. I imagine you would like to know how I arrived at the winner of tomorrow,s derby. Okay, I will tell you. Devotion to duty, ears to the ground stuff. If you don't think it is work to keep your ears to the ground, just try it sometime at Churchill Downs, where the grass is bristly and horses are constantly walking around and Qaulucu ukely tO Stcp O1 yOu.

Time to Experiment
 | Coaches experiment with new plays and formations, realizing that experimentation in the fall is liable to prove disastrous. They must ac- quaint their men with new stuff in the spring because there is so lit- tie time to do SO in late September, October, and November, when the great majority of teams must point for every game on the schedule.
 Coaches also seek to develop key men to fill spots vacated by graduation or ineligibility. They work with passers and kickers if such speciality men are needed.
 Minnesota again appears tops in the Big Ten and perhaps in the country. Bernie Bierman wor- ries only because so much has grown to be expected of the Gophers. The toughest assignment on the Minnesota program is Notre Dame, where Elmer Layden prob- ably will have his best team. The Irish play another terrific schedule, including what may be their last game with Pittsburg.
 Ohio State looks exceptionally good, even though Francis Schmidt complains about being without a single good end. The merciless one has two dozen backs, however, and enough linemen for three var sites. Turning several of them into wingmen should be no trick. Michigan should start its grid- iron renaissance in 1897. There are plenty of holdovers and a good frosh crop. Hunk Anderson is coaching the line, the play of which has been losing games for the Vol verines for the last three seasons. And Harry Kipke would not exactly relish, or can he stand, fourth consecutive losing season.
 Northwestern lost heavily by graduation, and vii have tough time sticking in the Big Ten title race it won last autumn. The Wild- cats beat Minnesota last trip, and will find the Giants of the North eager for revenge. The Wildcats also play Notre Dame.
 x
 Year Round Sport
 Nebraska, under Major Biff Jones, again should top the Big Six, al- though Kansas State had 50 juniors and sophomores in uniform as it enjoyed fair season last fall. Mis- souri is on the upgrade.
 In the South, Alabama will be as formidable, or more formid- able, than ever, and Louisiana State already has announced that it will be hard to head of. An- other championship array is ex- pected at Duke.
 On the west coast, Southern California should be stronger than at any time since 1881, when Gaius Shaver, Ernie Pinkert, Johnny Baker & Go. ruled the nations chalklines. Ohio State goes to Los Angeles to tackle the Trojans. Washington again should be power on the coast, and Stan ford will rebuild around Bill Paul. man, whose leg injury kept him on the sidelines al last season.
 Harvard is coming on and Yale won't be any weaker. Princeton never can be counted out. Pop Warner has his system well in-. stalled at Temple. Fordham looks forward to big things. and Penn sylvania wants to stay on top. Dartmouth was hit hard by grad uation.
 Pittsburg ranks number one in the spring and summer book for the national title. Jock Suther- land employed seven sophomores last season.
 Spring practice is drawing to a close, but coaching schools open in June to continue until the boys fall out in the fall.
 Football now comes close to be- ing an all year round sport.
