Feller, the Cleveland Indians young

"I'd like to have perfect control" he
said at the Tribes training camp here
I'D like to be able to put the ball
exactly where I want it. But if ever
can do that, want it to be a secret" "
Foxx held that when Feller gets
better control he will not be 50 hard

On this, Master Robert commented:
Jimmy may think my wildness helps
me. but know I can't win Is games
if I'm as wild as was last year."

FAIR GO|NCL|KEL
FOR SANTA ANITA
Track Conditions Not Apt
to Keep Seabiscuit Out
of 100000 Race.
BY ROBERT MYERS.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOS ANGELES. March 4.-The
weather man gave the 100000 Santa
Anita Handicap back to the favorites
today and horsemen prepared to name
the hopes they will send into the IA :
mile classic tomorrow
Entries for the big race were due to
be announced by pm. E. S. T., by
Racing Secretary Webb Everett. Be-
fore rain began to pelt Santa Anita
early this week. Everett expected as
many as % would accept the issue.
The general consensus today placed
the field at around Is. but no two
observers agreed on the complete
roster.
Prospects of continued fair weather
and track fast rounding back into
f1rst-class shape brought return to
the favorites' pew Of the three leading
contenders, Pompoon, Seabiscuit and
Aneroid.
Only One Choice Wins.
Recalling that some of the big
favorites have performed like platers
in the Santa Anita in previous years,
many experts declined to 60 over
board on Seabiscuit. Pompoon or
Aneroid. although admitting they de-
serve top consideration from past
records.
The only favorite who ever won the
Santa Anita was Foxcatcher's Rose
mont last year. He paid $3.50 to 50 to
win. Seabiscuit kept the form players
satisfied, trailing Rosemont closely In
the betting marts and by mere nose
in the final dash to the wire.
In 1896 Alfred G.. Vanderbilt's Dis
covery was the favorite, closing at
to 2 and finishing far out of the
money. A. A. Baronis Top Row
flashed in and paid $1480 for a 50 win
ticket.
The first year Equipoise was the IA
vorite at $l.70 to one. He ran seventh
and Fred Alger's unknown ex-steeple-
jumper, Azucar, won and paid $3.50
for a So.

NEW YORK, March ia curtail-

the export market early, but the gains
were lost later owing to the weakness
in sterling. February statistics showed
a moderate decrease in stocks abroad
but domestic supplies at the end Of
February totaled 1926, ,244 tons, an in

STABLE CATTLE PRICES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said yesterday it expected cat
tie prices to remain relatively stable
near present levels during the next
several months.
1t said slaughter supplies of better
grades of cattle probably would in
crease during the spring months. No
price decline was likely to follow, it
explained, in view of the fact that
supplies dropped sharply during the
October January period.
Only a considerable upturn in in
dustrial activity and the employment,
1t said. could be expected to improve
prices.
