Thousands Jdm Pimlico Track for Predkness

in the Kentucky Derby, has worked
well at Pimlico. The colt has

Istudents of racing form think he
should beat them today. This
opinion, expressed in terms Of
dollars at the grinding mutuels
windows, will send the Foxcatcher
Farms colt to the post favorite.
He was quoted at 2Ha to i in the
morning line, but by post time
be probably will be even money, or
perhaps an odds on choice.
The question raised by racing
men today as they gathered on
the crowded lawn, in the milling
throng around the paddock, and
in the bulging grandstand. packed
to the rafters, is whether Dauber
will break with the field and stay
close to the sizzling pace that is
bound to be set. The Preakness IS
at one mile and three-sixteenths,
or one-Sixteenth Of a mile shorter
than the Kentucky Derby.
Not a great distance, to be sure,
but plenty as the cold-eyed men
of the turf measure the possibili-
ties of the course. Dauber needed
the full Derby course to catch the
speedy Menow at Churchill Downs.

STRONG DUKE '9'

Termed as the finest college
team in the South, Duke Univer-
sity clashes with the University of
Maryland at College Park today,
starting at 2::30 o'clock.
The game marks the final battle
of a series Of six games for the
invading Blue Devil nine in the
last six days.
Handicapped by sore arms Of
the entire pitching staff, save Bill
Steiner, Coach Burt Shipley is
obliged to call upon Steiner to-
day to face the dangerous Caro-
linians. Steiner hurled against
North Carolina yesterday but
failed to find the plate, issuing
six bases on balls and a scorching
triple for six runs in the initial
frame, before he was yanked.
North Carolina, leading the
Southern Conference baseball
league, but yet to play Duke in a
trio of games, scored all its runs
in the first four innings to defeat
Maryland, 13 to 10, yesterday.
The game today marks the
third and final tilt between Mary
land and Duke, the Devils taking
a double-header from the Old
Liners at Durham, Easter Mon
day.
While the baseball team is
busily engaged with Duke, the
Maryland tennis team clashes
with Georgetown on the College
Park courts.
Other Maryland athletic teams
are active on foreign soil today,
with the lacrosse team clashing
with the Naval Academy at An
napoEs for the national collegiate
title, while the trackmen oppose
Army at West Point.

Fighting Fox was ahead Of him at
the mile. Dauber is notoriously
slow starter.
All Of these facts are known and
weighed by the folk who will place
their bets on the field this after
noon.
FOX RATED FOURTH
Fighting Fox, favortie in the
Kentucky Derby, ranks approx
mately fourth in popular favor
today. The word has gone out
that the brother of the great Gal
lant Fox, winner of the Preakness
in 1880, is a sulker. Fighting Fox
had no excuse in the Kentucky
Derby. He passed the stands the
first time with Jimmy Stout hold
ing him in restraint, but over there
on the turn for home, Fighting
Fox dropped out Of contention.
Sunny Jim FitzSimmonS, trainer
of Fighting Fox. thought highly
of him a week ago, and still thinks
highly of him. But the public,
burned to a crisp when the colt
failed, may hesitate to support
him today.

The six-round bout was a pre-

Although there were no knock

Interest
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORE, May IA G.NIS)
The somewhat unconventional
not to say flamboyant, match be,
tween Featherweight Champion
Henry Armstrong, Los Angeles
Negro, and Welterweight Cham.
pion Barney Ross, of Chicago, for
the later's title may not go on
for the night of May 26, as sched-
uled. 1t may be put back, not one
month, but perhaps as much as
two; as far back as possible, in
fact, behind the Schmeling-L Louis
million-dollar meeting for the
heavyweight championship late in
June.
This was the sum and sense Of
certain well defined reports that
were attaining no slight promi-
nence today in the purlieux OF our
pugilistic set.
MANY VERSIONS
One version has it that, IL days
out from the original date, Ross
finds that he needs more time to
reach the top Of his condition.
Another says that the continued
cold weather has put the chill on
the ticket sale. And a third in
sists that the promoters are be-
latedly realizing that their tim
ing" is off with the May 26 date,
a version that is not without some
degree of valid substance.
Schmeling, for instance, came
into town a week ago and, since
then, he's been like DiMaggio on
ore of his good days. Anyhow,
they can't seem to get him out.
Meantime, he's hitting the head
lines and the RosS-Armstrong fight
hasn't even been able to muscle
its way in among the market re-
ports. Meantime, too, it has been
contending for recognition with
the 100000 horse race between
Seabiscuit and War Admiral,
which is down for a decision at
Belmont Park Oh May 80.
OWN COMPETITION
The horse race crowd is not
necessarily a boxing crowd and,
in fact, the reverse often enough
has proved to be the case. But
nowadays any dollar that finds
its way into one box office is
probably permanently lost to an
other. ~
However, an even more discon.
certing feature, they say, is that
Promoter Jacobs has unwittingly
set up in competition with him.
self; that the mugs are buying
|Schmeling and Louis seven weeks
in advance at $50 a pew and pay
ing almost no heed to anything
else at half the money. # this is
true, the mans course would seem
to be clear. There is, in fact,
nothing for him to do but get out
of the way with everything else
and let the mugs pay twice as
much, while waiting three times
as long for their action.
In the circumstances, boxing
men around here are beginning to
insist, the promoters are likely to
"take a petition" on Ross and
Armstrong. Maybe they won't, OF
course. But, according to best
available adviceS, they might.
