Derby candidates.
By ORLO ROBERTSON.


NEW YORK, April 6.-Performances
in actual competition this year speak
we'll for Tiger. Sun Egret and LaWrin
as leading candidates for the sixty
fourth running of the s50000 Kentucky
Derby at Churchill Downs.
Much can happen between now and
the May renewal of Americas most
famous horse race, but if the trio
maintain their present condition they'll
be up with the contenders when the
leading 3-year-olds parade to the post.
Tiger, ace of Mrs. Ethel v. Mars
Milky Way Stable, and A. c. Compton's
California owned Sun Egret showed
Derby class last Saturday. Tiger won
the mile-and-an-eighth Arkansas
Derby at Oakland Park, while Sun
Egret sped away from older rivals in
the 6-furlong Rowe Memorial at
Bowie. Lawrin, owned by Herbert M.
Woolf of Kansas City, Mo-, stepped
into the picture with an easy triumph
in the $4,000 Flamingo Stakes at
Hialeah Park in February.
Also Names Mountain Ridge.
Mrs. Mars also has named Mountain
Ridge, C-Note and Farrell for the
Derby, but with the possible exception
of Mountain Ridge, Trainer Bob Nc
Garvey believes Tiger is the stables
best bet.
Hes the fastest thing in the coun-
try from the starting gate" said Nc
Garvey. They'll certainly have to
beat him if they win the Derby, and
I don't think they can do it.
McGarvey explained Tigers poor
showing in the Santa Anita Derby, won
by Stagehand, by saying they tried to
rate the son of Bull Dog.
You see, Tiger has habit Of break
ing from the starting gate like bolt
of lightning and tries to wear himself
out in the first half of the race. So we
have been trying to rate him back of
the pace. We have succeeded in trials,
but in the Santa Anita Derby it didn't
work.
He broke on top and then Robbie
(Jockey Alfred Robertson) pulled him
back. After that he wouldn't run
again, so Robbie let him gallop in. He
finished seventh"
Tiger, winner of six OF his nine starts
last year, including dead heat with
Teddy's Comet in the Arlington Fu-
turity and second to Menow in the Bel
mont Futurity, still showed his ten
dency to run in front in the Arkansas
Derby. He established an early lead
Of lengths and just had enough
left to win the mile-and-an-eighth
race by a lenghth and half IN the

Sun Egret Consistent.
Sun Egret, a son of Sun Briar, was
in the money in Of his 10 starts last
year, but it was not until he became
q 3-year-o old that he began to rate der
by consideration. He won four OF his
six starts and was third behind Stage

Derby on the West Coast before COM

TORONTO, April 6.-The Chicago
Blackhawks. having startled the
hockey world once again by upsetting
Toronto, 81, in the opening game OF
their best-of-flve scrap for the STAN
ley Cup, scanned their possessions to-
day and found them arranged approx
imately as follows:
l. That vital 1-up margin on the
National Hockey League champions.
2. A slightly bruised but still defiant
manager, Bill Stewart.
3. An old familiar hero, Left Wing
Johnny Gottselg, the play-offs' lead
ing scorer.
4. A brard-new hero, their half
pint substitute goalie, Alfie Moore.
The Hawks emerged with that col
lection from as wild-eyed an evening
as the Stanley Cup play-offs ever have
provided. For, while the game itself
was enough to keep the crowd OF
1877 enthralled, there was even

Meanwhile, Stewart had met Smythe
outside the dressing room and, before

LOS ANGELES, April 6.-Stage-
hand, the miracle horse of 1898,
checks out Saturday from Santa Anita,
where before his Sd birthday ami
versary he won sl33,8O0 in II days.
With Trainer Earl Sande in charge,
Stagehand will board a special car for
Louisville in quest of another so grand
in the Kentucky Derby May 7.
Sande thinks Stagehand will take
it. He thought Stagehand would take
the $4,000 Santa Anita Derby, and
he wasn't disappointed. He thought
Stagehand would be up there in the
100000 Santa Anita Handicap. And
Stagehand poked his nose in ahead
of the mighty Seabiscuit, breaking
the Santa Anita track record for a
mile and a quarter.
The Chief Sure to Go.
If stagehand should have an off
day May the Maxwell Howard colors
may be right in there, nevertheless.
Going along on this trip are Stage
hands stablemates, The Chief and
Sceneshifter. The latter, 4-year-old,
will enter several important Eastern
meetings later in the summer The
Chief will be in the Derby. He's a
definite starter.
The Chief, colt that obtained a
fancy rating in the experimental
handicaps at the end of the 1887
season, has been forgotten because of
Stagehand's exploits It wasn't so
long ago, however, that The Chief
was regarded as top-notch juvenile
with a great future. Sande bought
him for Howard for $4,000 1T the
c. V. Whitney dispersal sale last fall.
The Chief was his idea of good horse
for the big race at Santa Anita.
The Chief captured the National
Stallion Stakes last year and was re-
garded as the big shot" of the How

amiss here.
Rest Brings Him Back.

lieving the horse would come back.
And how he has come back! In the
last week The Chief has come on
by leaps and bounds. Sande thinks
he is about ready. Both The Chief
and Stagehand worked an impressive
mile two days ago.
AS for Stagehand, Sande says his
pride and JOY may not even need a
tightener for the Derby. If he does,
he'll get in race before Derby day
