Irish bred Jumpers
Are Top Choices in
Grand National
KiIstor, RoyoI DonieIi,
Workman Supported by
Top-Hotted Turfmen

By the Associated Press.
AINTREE, England, March 18.-
Britain's top-hatted racing cores
pondents decided today that one of
three 1rish-bred horses, Kilstar,
Workman and Royal Daniel. will
win the 101st Grand National
Steeplechase on Friday.
Their prediction was made with
the usual apology-that In the past
100 years Grand National favorltes
generally have swooned in Beecher's S
brook.
Nevertheless, because some $8,-
100000 changes shands on this fan
tastic AZ z-mile race, predictions are
demanded, and it certainly is true
that a better case can be made for
these three than for any other.
Kilstar, owned by Dorothy Paget,
Is the II to 2 choice while Royal
Danieli, H. c. McNally's hopeful,
and Workman, representative of Sir
Alex Macguire, hold down the Sec
ond spot at 10 to /.
Royal Danieli second by a nose
to the American-oWned Battleship
last year. returned to the first three
after victory at Baldoyle, Ireland,
yesterday.
American Trio in Race.
There are three American-owned
runners: Mrs. Camille Evans Royal
Mail, only former winner in the
race u93D; Mrs Marion SCOTS
War Vessel. son of Man O. War, and
Mrs. Louis E. Stoddards Milano,
which will be ridden by her hus-
band.
OF these, only Royal Mail is
among the first 10 favorites, and
the United States has only an in
direct claim on him. His owner,
the former Broadway follies star,
Camille Clifford, now is a British
subject.
War Vessel is considered a good
outsider at 80 to l simply because
the British critics have more respect
Tor the sons of Man O. War since the
40-to-1 Battleship won last years
race IN Mrs. SCOTS silks.
Practically the only detail that
remains is for the Irish hospital
sweepstakes draw in Dublin Mon
day and Tuesday. On this draw
alone around 100000 will change
hands.
Kilstar, stablemate of Golden
Miller. which won for Miss Paget in
1884, is the most unusual national
1avorlte IN years. A decided COM
moner by birth, British army off,
GERS mount until less than a year
ago, kilstar is favorite mainly be-
cause he concealed his ability until
after the handicaps were published.
kilstar Is Surprise.
Purchased by Miss Paget ito fill
an empty stall" Kilstar was a 4O-to-
shot when he was given l43
pounds, only three over the mini
mum. Since then he has won his
only two major races on much worse
terms against many of his competi-
tors Friday. 1t is generally believed
he would be given at least 20 pounds
more to carry If the handicaps had
been posted today.
Workman, a steady-going jumper
is liked largely because he has
showed no signs OF going back since
finishing third last year.
Five others of the l3 horses which
finished the course last year also will
start the long journey. They are,

Virtually every member of the Sea
Gulls has had at least three years
Of experience in the league. Ty
Andersen and Jack McKinnon, de-
fense stars, have been with the
club since its organization nine years
ago, while Herb Foster. for several
seasons one of the three top scoring
men In the loop, has labored seven
years on the ice.
Teams Meeting Saith Time.
AL Foster, Herbs brother, has four
years to his credit, while Gordie
Wait has six. Andersen has made
every all-league team since 1882 and
is crack defensive player as we'll
as sharpshooter with the stick, as
evidenced by his Is goals this season.
The Orioles and Sea Gulls will be
colliding for the 84th time, with At
lantic City holding a decided edge.
The Sea Gulls have won 40, lost 27
and tied 8, scoring 300 goals to 23l
for the Orioles. Baltimore and At
lantic City invariably produce high
scoring games, as mirrored in the
fact they have averaged more than
six goals a game over that stretch.
Gulls' Play UnOrthodox.
The Gulls employ an unorthodox
type of play, using five men on the
forward line almost constantly and
frequently gambling on leaving de-
fensive territory unguarded in an
effort to score.
Coach Red Mackenzie will start
Maury Courteau at goal for the
Gulls, with Andersen and Jim Allen
at defense. Vern Buckles at center
and Herb Foster and Bert Turney at
