In somewhat palmer words an o.

Pine Street, near Mason Avenue.
The O'possum was seen by passer-

of them keeping their distance for
fear the "marisupial' might fall from
the tree and bite them. However, Mr..
Jack Usry, knowing something of the
"arboreap and other habits of the
animal, climbed the tree and shook
"the varmint" out "Marse Possum"

residents of Virginia was then given
to colored employee of nearby gar

The O'possum, roasted with sweet
potatoes, is regarded as something of

.Hypnotist's Trainer
Optimistic About
EPSON Derby
Deems Americon-Owned
Horse Strong Enough
To Win Tomorrow
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LONDON, May 23.-Three names
those of two trainers and a great
sire-dominate tomorrow field for
the 156th running of the Derby, a
race conceived over a glass of wine
and nurtured into one of the world S
great sporting spectacles.
The trainers are Jack Jarvis and
Capt. Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, each of
whom will send several horses to
the post, and the sire is Hyperion,
with four sons in the race.
Among the Jarvis-trained horses
are Blue Peter, the favorite at 1920,
and Admiral's Walk, currently priced
at ISL. Boyd-Rochforts include
William Woodward's fine colt, Hy-
notist, second choice in the betting
at 17-2.
Hyperion, which won the 1888 Der
by III the record time of 2:34, has a
paternal interest in Admiral's Walk,
Hypnotist, Heliopils, the fourth
choice at 1871, and Casanova, a we'll
liked outsider.
The fact that Gordon Richards,
England's leading jockey, is to ride
Fox Cub made that horse the third
favorite at 21-2.
The public made Blue Peter the
favorite the day after he won the
"2 900 guineas" at Newmarket. The
money on him is piling up and may
force the odds down.
However, wise racing heads point
out that Pasch was an even greater
favorite last year-and finished
third. One paper headlined, the
morning of the race, mo Race To-
day, Pasch Has It,"
A Derby favorite wins on an aver
age of once in three years. Wood
ward will bid for the honor of own
ing both the Kentucky and EPSON
Derby winners the same year. His
Johnstown made a route Of the
Kentucky race.
Boyd trainer of Hypno-
tist, has this to say:
"Hypnotist has trained very well,
but it was not until he won the Der
by trial stakes of a mile and half
that really became optimistic over
his chances He has grown much
stronger and I think he will do the
Derby distance easily.
The vanguard Of the great race
throng has begun to move into Lon
don. Hotels report the heaviest ad-
vance business in years and special
trains and buses will run through
out the night bringing spectators.
BY noon tomorrow the Derby
crowd of between 100000 and $50, 900
will be here.
And most Of them will be below
ing BLUE Peter" at the bookies.

of Manager Bucky Harris when he
was handling Bonura and Simmons.
He doesn't drill into many double
plays. Al press time, in fact, he
hadn't raped into a double play
this season.
Wright, by major league stand
ards, isn't polished outfielder. To
be blunt, he isn't even a good out
fielder, but whatever miscues he
commits in the field he figures to
rectify at the plate.
Taft now is among the elite of the
league in two departments, pro-
ducing triples and propelling mates
across that white rubber goal. And
there is a sneaking suspicion that
when the season slithers into obliv-
ion his name still will be near the
top.
Still seeking his first home run of
the year, Taft may search for that
item for some time, for his hits
mostly are sizzling line drives which
are likely to be sprayed to any Sec
ton of the field. That he will COL
.lect doubles and triples frequently,
though, already has been indicated
in the fact that 10 of his 80 safeties
have gone for extra bases.

The staggering Wright relishes
his role of being the most dreaded
hitter with the Mats. He struts a
bit more and his hero-worshiping
of last season has evaporated. He
was handed big order and he's
filling it with an explosion of hits,
but while his chest is expanding his
head isn't.
Taft doesn't fear facing any
pitcher in the league, but he's de-
veloped a wholesome respect for
many of them. After smashing a
triple and single off Bob Feller here
the other day one of the Mats opined
aloud If Taft would like Feller to
pitch against him every day. eff
it's all the same to you," replied
Wright, I'D rather not have any
parts of him"
He frets and snarls when he
doesn't produce couple of hits
day. He says when in slump he
worries so much it wrecks his sleep.
He admits he's bad company when
he isn't hitting, but his fuming
hasn't annoyed the Mats thus far
this season.
Meanwhile Joe Haynes, rookie
right-hander, was to make his Sec
ond major league start today at
Grifith Stadium, facing Chicagos
Jack Knott as the Mats concluded
an abbreviated series with the White
Sox. St. Louis will invade tomorrow
for two-game series.
Rain yesterday forced the Mats
to idle for the eighth time this
season.

Somebody must have told those
Cincinnati Reds they look like the
Yankees. So now they're out prov
ing it.
The Red menace is riding high,
wide and handsome on a seven
game winning streak right now,
compiled just like the world cham
pions do it-on Cd steady pitching
and (2D good old-fashioned apple
knocking.
Of course, st. Louis re-gassed

Mr.. Will McKechnie, the No. l
"soapboxer" of the Red menace, has
put together a combination that
plays for keeps. For instance,
there's Ernie the Schnozzola Lom-
bardi, who is finding that every
hurler in the loop is his cousin
again. The SchnoZz has batted for
.483 in the current drive. has driven
IA runs home, clouted three doubles
and three homers.
Then there are Lefty Lee Girls
som, whose chief claim to fame last
year was as a member of the Major
League ScreWballs Aid Society, and
the big shrimp and sea food man,
Paul Derringer, and Bucky Walters
and Johnny Wander Nicer and
Whitley Moore to handle the pitch
ing chores.
Lefty Lee took his second win of
the clubs current victory streak
yesterday, beating the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 6-3, with the help of the
Schnozzs double and single, which
sent three runs across.
Others Doing Big Bit.
But it hasn't been all Lombardi
and Grissom. Walters also has
twirled two wins during the string
and Billy Meyers, the fellow who
obppOoCu w lldfC ~, has UdU-
ted .348. Ival Goodman has punched
seven runs across and Buck Nc
Cormick has belted a pair of homers.
The Yanks couldn't add to their
string yesterday, for rain washed
out their game with Cleveland's
collapsible Indians in the fifth in
ming. The Tribe might have put
the damper on the win streak, for
the Bronx Bombers were on the
short end of a 81 count when Old
Man Weather stepped in. But the
Yanks were started in their fifth,
had one run in, two men on base
and no outs. Figure it out for your
self.

The Yankees may not appear to
