The PAYOEE
Bonura Asserts Terry Objected
 To His Remark About Yankees
I zEKE BONURA LIKES
 RROOKLYN,a CHANGES

 BR0OKLYNs CHANGES
 When iJabe Young reported from Knoxville, Terry itched to bench me.
 T believe he would have benched me if ! had been leading the league in hitting.
 He was just looking for an ex- cuSe."
 Bonura declares he reported to the Senators several pounds over- weight because he spent SO much time this spring shopping around for e place to light and got in so few games with the Polo Ground res.
 He had to walt until he reached Washington to play his first cham pionship game of the season. He asserts that when he was sent in as e pinch hitter and defeated Washington in an exhibition game, Terry was only trying to make him look bad before his old friends.
 HITTING COVERS FIELDING FAULTS
 Bonura wouldn't be surprised if Brooklyn won the National League pennant if for no other reason than that tkey have 80 little to beat.
 Bonura considers Babe Young, who replaced hin with the Giants, a fin: prospect.
 Young has good wrist action at the place" he explains. Looks like Q hitter, all right, but you can't tell yet. You can't tell how he'll hit left handlers. 1 guess that's why Terry held on to me as long as he did"
 Bonrra's grin is wider than ever. He feels vindicated sone- what in being taken back by e club that passed him along be- cause he gave the Fascist salute to too many balls that should have been stopped before they rolled Into rig',t field.
 If Bonura's fielding Is sa bad as they say 1t Is, then his bat must cover a multitude of sins.

WCTC HEAD URGES. SPORTS FOR YOUTH

Evanston, May 7--Every boy or girl should take part in sports-on the playing field and not on the sidelines--in the opinion of Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, National w. c. T. U. president, who has been school teacher, mother, and minister dur ing her long career.
 She not only praised the habits of self discipline built up by athletics but stressed the old saying that idle hands breed mischief" in a National Youth Week interview here.
 We have found a very low per- centage of narcotic addition (which includes the alcohol habit and a comparatively low percentage of juvenile delinquency in general among those who are kept well-oc- cupied in sports and the right type of social recreation" she declared.
 "On the other hand, the youth who is always spectator up in the stands has harder handicaps to overcome. Many youths take their first drinks of beverage alcohol be- cause of the adult example set in the stands or in post-game celebrations"
 Mrs. Smith qualified her advocacy of sports for all youth by excluding those physically handicapped and recommended less strenous hobbies for them.

LARGER FIELD TO TEST BEATEN
 DERBY CHOICE
Preakness May Draw IS Three.Year.O Satur.
 day at PimlicO
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing Editor

Baltimore, Md, May 7,--(UP)- It may be 6 bit difficult to believe. considering the usual effectiveness Of the press, the radio and the tele- phone.-but apparently the news oi what happened In Kentucky on Sat- urday still hasn't reached Maryland for here, on the rim of Chesab beake Bay, Bimelech Is regarded as the horse to beat in the Preakness,
 The public thinks 50.
 The trainers think SO.
 The jockeys think 50,
 And-.bewildered, baffied boys.- the handicappers think SO, too.
 So far as Baltimore is concerned the Derby never was run, Binelecll never was whipped, and dallaha- dion iS simply somebody whose strength is the strength of 10 be- cause his heart Is pure. That was obvious at Pimlico, where both horses arrived to renew their rlv- airy in the second of the turf's three big races. Bimelech was greet cd with cheers--the milky way colt with the quiet tolerance usually ac- corded an obscure relative.
 All Out
 The only visible evidence that there has been any change in the three-year.old division was to bt found on the track early in the morning. There almost every colt with tail and e mane went to work as optimistic owners proceed ed on the theory that what happen ed once could happen aagin. So in- stead of the six.horse field and the crowd of 25,000 originally expected for the states biggest turf party Pimlico officials prepared for as many as IS starters and 60,000 cus- toners.
 Those who are practically certain of going in the mile and 3-l8 fea- ture are Gallahadion. Bimelech, Dit Pictor, Midland, Royal Man, Straight Lead, Woof Woof, Your Chance, Sun Pharos, Merry Knight, Asp, and Snow Ridge. The W. L. Ranch even shipped the two irrepressible Californians Gallant Dream and Sky Dog.
 1our Cnhnce, Sun PnhroS, Merry Knight, Asp and Snow Ridge, met today in the $2,500 survivor purse-- mile and l.i6 race patterned along lines of the derby trial--foi Q final test of their fitness. Yout chance, A. c. D. Widener colt well. liked as Q dark-horse, was the slight favorite although he was starting for the first time this season.
 But despite the general scramble among the owners, the sentiment was all for Bimelech. Instead of ad- mitting he had been beaten on merit, the public talked instead of Q bad track, a bad ride, bad condi- ton and bad racing luck. The Brad ley handlers said nothing, but re- garded the hot sun and fast Pimlico strip favorably.
