Willy Pogany's portrait Of Connie

Earl Stendahl. art collector and

defense witness. It was painted by
F. Tino Costa, noted artist.
Stendahl was asked to make q
comparison with the Pogany por-
trait. He estimated that the
Costa picture could be insured for
$4,000 to $4,000, whereas the Po-
|gany picture was worth $4,000.
ITO my mind" he said, Cos
ta's work might be considered
as more realistic or photo
graphic, but an art critic would
consider it as a mere copy. 1t is

SEEN BY TRAINERS
Issue Between Stagehand,
Fighting Fox Indicated.
Two Favor Bull Lea,
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

NEW YORK. April 29.-The Ken
lucky Derby will be a two-horse race
between Stagehand and Fighting Fox
In the opinion Of jury of IL prom
1nent trainers who were asked today
to forecast verdict on the 3-year- old
classic at Churchill Downs May 7.
Stagehand and Fighting Fox, first
and second choices, respectively, in the
future books, received five votes each.
The two others were cast for Bull Lea,
hope Of Warren Wright's Calumet
Farm.
Earl Sande. trainer Of Stagehand,
naturally supported his own horse
and was joined by George Odom, Nose
Goldblatt, j. P. Doc) Jones and Ros-
coe Goose.
My horse has done everything
asked of him." said Sande, "and you
can't go behind the records. He's 60
ing to do little running also"
Likes Sande Horses One-Two.
Goose, who rode Donerail to victory
in 1913 at the longest odds (Sl84 80 for
s2) IN Derby history, went even farther
than Sande. He named the Chief, also
trained by the Earl, to run second
Two trainers of former Derby VIM
ners, George Conway (War AdmiraD
and James Fitzsimn7ons Gallant Fox
and Omaha) voted for Fighting Fox,
togther with Lou Feustel, trainer of
Man O War; Phil Reuter-, who sent
Roman Soldier out to finish second to
Omaha in 1885, and Willie Booth.
F1tzslmmons, who will throw the
saddle over the Fox. believes his colt
will have Stagehand and Bull Lea to
beat with Dauber figuring promi-
nently.
Conway and Feustel leaned toward
the Fox largely because of his trainer.
Bull Lea Strong Runner.
"Fltzsimmons has shown he knows
now to bring a horse up to a race
such as the Derby" declared Conway.
Then, too, the Fox always looked
like he would develop into topnotch
3-year-old. Sande must have a good
horse in Stagehand, but I'll have to
vote for Fighting Fox"
Bull Lea's two votes came from Max
Hlrsch, trainer of the 1886 Derby
winner, Bold Venture, and Hirsch
Jacobs. Americas leading trainer for
the last five years. Hirsch favored
the son Of Bull Dog because on his
dams side the colt is bred to run all
day. Jacobs pointed out Bull Lea was
good 2-year-old that has developed
into nice-looking 3-year-old.
Both trainers named Stagehand as
second best. with Fighting Fox their
choice for third money.

George Wood, slim southpaw,
curved the Terps to their eighth win,

his mates compiled an early lead
which they never relinquished. Mary

ly undefeated in four games, for II

The Old Liners hoped on Hage-
man for two runs in the first inning,
added another pair in the third, one

sixth. Lafayette pushed over three
runs in the seventh on Maryland's S
spotty fielding.
