Miss Simmons has a sharp physical
advantage over most girl boWlers, with
her 16O-odd pounds well distributed
and her endurance almost remarkable.
incidentally, there's nothing masculine
about her except those sensational
duckpin scores which have made her
perhaps the outstanding figure in the
history Of the game.
Inclined toward StoutnesS, she Wor-
ries over it and occasionally diets.
But this" she says, doesn't help
much because it weakens me-" One
suspects that Ida S willingness to bowl
any time, anywhere, ties in with the
inefficacy of diet, for she told the
writer while back that sometimes
she's Thoroughly fed up on bowling"
AS Rube Goldberg used to say, "They

Says Davis, sponsor of the cham

It's been four lean years since his

the master of Idle Hour Farm, has a
pair that may give Kentuckians a

May 8.
Brooklyn is considered the ace of
the combination, although Billionaire
compiled the better record as 2-year-
old. Lightly campaigned, Brooklyn
started only four times in 1896. He
won two of his races, including the
Walden Handicap, and was placed
second in the Pimlico Futurity when
Privileged was disqualified, to earn
$11,595. Billionaire faced the barrier
in IA races for record of six VIC

ings of $12,650.
One Of Early Choices.
IN THE future books Brooklyn is one
OF the choices at odds of 8 and
10 to l, while Billionaire is quoted at
20 to l. The latter, famous for his
early speed, may be used to set the
pace for his stablemate.
II like him." says Derby Dick"
Thompson about Brooklyn, and that
statement amounts to almost wild
burst of enthusiasm for the veteran
trainer, who has saddled four Derby
winners for Bradley. He's never voluble
when talking about his own horses.
Thompson considers Brooklyn his
best Derby prospect since the colts
sire, Blue Larkspur, ran fourth in 1929
Clyde Van Dusen won that muddy
battle, but Blue Larkspur went on to
prove himself the outstanding 3-year-
old of the year.

have been modelled after Aintree's
famed obstacles.
The inner jumping course Is mile
