 Louisville, Ky, May 2-(UP)-l ain no bloodhound of & reporter and there are tens of thousands with better noses for news, but even to mo 1t was obvious that the best source of information on the Ken- lucky Derby was Colonel Matt Vim.
 So went to see tho colonel sunk deep in an old leather chair, in his office in wing of Churchill Downs that commands a view of the turn Into the stretch. Not for him c box on the finish line, where the race Is over, but a vantage point where the Jockeys really go to work and the class Of 6 thoroughbred begins to tell.
 Over Q glass of bourbon that must have dated back to the day the colonel saw his first derby in 1875 and that was the first derby--he warned me never to believe that any horse was c sure thing in the derby
 "Everybody says Bimclech is un- beatable now" Colonel Vim said but I won't believe 1t till his num- Der and his price 90 up on the board under the ofiicial sign. As long ago as lss9-or 5i full years-I learned that nothing is sure on 6 race track Because 1t was in 1889 that Proc- tor Knott was thought to Do so In. vincible that the mention of any other brought jeers and hoots and all the other standard forms of de- rision. He was even more of 6 standout than Bimelech is today.
 Just Another Horse
 "You must know what happened A thing called Spokane-oil which bet 9i00 which is the most I ever bot on any rase-won 1t easy. Back of the barns, spokane's trainer had brought him along. No shouting, nc great times in workouts. no dazzling past performances. in fact, no ad- vance notice of any sort. Spokane was just another horse"

 Being a fortnight soul, I asked him if he did. As a matter of fact I looked up his blue serge sleeve myself. There was nothing there except normal sleeve equipment. So, when I left him, I turned to the record books to see if Proctor Knott were the only "gcod thing" who had missed on derby day at the Downs.
 Remember?
 It was amazing to find how many great horses had failed in the run for the horseshoe of derby roses. There were such great runners as Granville, Brevity. Head Play, Blue Larkspur, Osmand.

 Winner of the Mastery

Often the average golfer has acc quired such a conglomeration of knowledge that by the time he thinks of all he has. read and been told and steps up to the ball, he is in a mental stew.
 So the modern trend is to sim- plify the stroke.
 The best advice can give is to pay attention to the hands and fore- arms.
 Personally, I know whether will play well the instant I pick up a club. The feel of the club gives mo the answer.
 Now, If the hands are that sensi- tive, there must be merit in the contention the hands and forearnls are the most important factors in the swing.
 It is my belief that if the hands and forearms are properly coordin- ated the hips, shoulders and pivot will follow.
 The power of a stroke generates at the feet.
 It passes on through the body to the hands.
 Therefore the stance is vital.
 Tall players can spread their feet far apart. They have a higher center of gravity.
 HAGEN AND CHICK EVANS WERE DEMARET'S IDOLS
 Short players cannot do this be- cause in that position they lock themselves, lose footpower and Vir- tually muffle the stroke. Many sturdy players under five feet eight inches in height fail to obtain the distance to which they arc entitled because their stance Is too wide.
 On the other hand, a tall player who does not spread his feet, loses power because there is too much body sway and not the proper bal- ance.
 I have spoken of the advantages of an early start.
 Most great shotmakers, especially among the professionals, come from the ranks of the caddies.
 It was while toting bags they ob- tained the mental foundation for golf.
 1 started as a caddy at the age of seven. Andy Anderson, veteran sports editor of the Houston Press, who used to own Q little nine-hole course with sand greens, gave me my first job. He still watches me-. gives me sound advice.
 The natural trait of all kids to mimic helped me.
 Walter Hagen and Chick Evans were in the headlines when l was 6 boy. read everything they wrote and was written about them. DEVELOPS SWING WITHOUT BEING CONSCIOUS OF IT
 With me, as with many other youngsters, 1t was natural to sneak a club out of a patrons bag and clip blades Of grass. There were idle hours at the course, and we always man. aged to have club or two, though they probably were obsolete wea- pons. There were always balls to be found and we practiced.
 l fell into & fairly good swing without being conscious of 1t.
 But everybody who plays golf docs not obtain an early start. Many take up the game rather late in life.
 It is for them that the stroke should be made as simple as pos. sible.
 Old masters have stressed factors in the stroke which I have not men- toned. One noted teacher insisted there were IA factors in 1t. here are many elements to the swing, but the average player has many things on his mind. He may be wondering about the note on the car, the next payment on the house and whatnot.
 So. believe that when profess sionals relieve him of some of the worries of the swing he gets more out of golf.
