Sunny Jim Striving
To Beat Himself
In Preakness
Soddling Two Fovorites,
Trainer Is on Toughest
Spot Ever in Big Roce
By the Associated Press.

BS the Associated Press
BALTIMORE. May 13.-There's a
spot in every horse race and Sunny
Jim Fitzsimmons was sitting upon
it today.
Mr.. Fitz," who has trained horses
as long as any one around a track
can remember, was in the unen-
viable position today of having to
saddle the two favorites in the 49th
running of the historic Preakness
Stakes.
AS trainer for two different sta
bles, 1t was his duty to see that
William WoodWards Johnstown. the
Kentucky Derby winner, and Mrs.
Ogden Phipps' Gilded Knight were
ready to give their best on Pim-
licos velvety track and gallop like
all get out to cop the pot that goes
to the winner of the 3-16 miles.
1t will be up to the jockeys to
give their horses all they've got"
said the dean of American trainers.
Must Try to Beat Himself.
In other words. Mr.. Fitz had to
tell Jimmy Stout to sit up on James,
towns big bay son and let him run
for all he's worth-which is plenty
and instruct Ruperto Donoso to
push Gilded Knight forward as long
as this fieet-footed colt could stand
the pace.
1t was one OF the Strangest Situa-
tlons any trainer ever has found
himself in during the 66-year his
tory of Maryland's S proudest horse
race. Because Mr.. Fitz trained both
these great runners they were cou-
pied in the betting.
Only four other horses faced
JohnstoWn and Gilded Knight. They
were Challedon, Impound, Ciencla
and Volitant.
A. j. Jack Goldsborough. a great
old crony of Sunny jim, trains Voli-
tant and holds part interest in him.
But the rivalry between these two
oldsters of the turf never has less
ened their friendship.
Rival Trainers Great Pals.
Whenever Goldsborough and
Sunny Jim get together there is
bound to be rapid exchange of
good natured banter.
Just the other day, after Volitant
had worked mile in the most i'm
pressive time any Preakness candi-
date had yet turned in, Goldsbor-
ough ambled back to the barn and
suggested to Sunny jim:
You might as well scratch Johns
town because this horse of mine is
going to run him to death"
Mr.. Fitz, who rode as a jockey
with Goldsborough back in the days
when both were hardly big enough
to cast shadow, merely smiled:
Sure. I'll scratch Johnstown II
you want me too-but I'll still beat
you with Gilded Knight"
Maybe So" said Goldsborough
but still believe Volitant the horse
they've all got to beat"

There was that day couple of

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
retirement of Justice BrandeS,
which provides the President an
other Supreme Court vacancy TO
fill, emphasizes the Roosevelt stamp
that has been placed upon the courts
of the country
He has made three appointments
to the Supreme Court already, JUS
tees Black of Alabama, Reed OF
Kentucky, and Frankfurter OF Mass
achusetts. Two of these really
counted heavily in swinging the
court 1 in the Roosevelt direction,
since they replaced pair OF JUS
tees, VanDevanter and Sutherland,
who consistently voted against the
New Deal.
Next in importance to the Su-
rene Court come the 10 circuit
courts, the channels through which
litigation from all parts OF the coun-
try reach the Supreme Court. There
are 48 places on the Circuit courts.
OF these President Roosevelt has
filled % since he came into office in
1888. He has two vacancies yet TO
fill.

court. There is vacancy also, which
permit one more Rooseyeltian to &c

The Presidents opportunities for
district court appointments have
been appreciably greater than other
Presidents. During a term in Of
flee, President usually names 4O
TO so on the district court. To date
the President has appointed AZ and
has nine vacancies to fill.
Normally he should expect is to 20
20 more vacancies, since many OF
his district court appointments have
represented increases allowed by
Congress in the number of district
judges to handle the steadily grow
ing amount of business.
Conceding that ultimately he will
appoint go to 65 district court judges,
that will mean approximately a
third of the present total of about
100.
