Two great imported sires, Sir
Gallahad III and ST.. Germans, both
OF which have sired Derby winners,
are represented in this group by
long shots that may improve greatly.
The first, sire of Gallant Fox, is the
daddy of Louis B. Mayors Sir JET
frey, strapping black colt which
has started seven times and won
two races. The other sire, which
claims the 1886 Derby winner, Bold
Venture, as son, has Croydon as his
main hope. Sir jeffrey is trained by
Clyde Van Dusen, who prepped his
namesake to win in 1929.
Out on the West Coast movie folk
are pulling for Blue Suit, a bay
runner by QUESTIONABLE, which has
shown great stretch running powers.
Last year Blue Suit started IA times,
but, like other racers by the Green
tree stallion, he was slow coming
around. He won one race. This year,
however, with the routes increased,
he is doing better, although unable
to win. In every start he has come
from far back to be running over
horses in the stretch. When the
Derby route comes along he should
be tough one to hold OF.

SPORTS.
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Out of the golf shop at Chevy
Chase, where over the last 20 years
have come a flock of good profess
sional golfers, there is another lad
ready to sprout pin feathers and
step cut in good company.
Virgil (Buck) Worsham, the like
able 20-year-old lad who Bob Bar
nett says has the best pair of hands
in pro golf around Washington, is
just about ripe to move into fast
company in the toughest competitive
game of them all. Or, if not quite
ready. he will be in a year or so.
Worsham is pretty young, and he
doesn't get a great deal Of oppor-
tunity to play, but the smooth-faced
youngstef can pound those tee shots
away out there. He hasn't proved
yet that he's as good as his older
brother Lewis, who presides over
the golf shop at Burning Tree, but
he isn't far behind.
"It will take only a little more
experience and few tough lickings
for this lad to be as good as any
of them," said Barnett, back only a
few hours from a five-month hitch

''This boy is going to be very
good" said Bob. He has very fine
swing and a great pair of hands.
It's about all most of us have. and
when he gets in the competitive
groove he will be hard to lick"
The youngster shot a 1-over-par
II yesterday at Kenwood for the
second lowest score of the day in
the pro-amateur tourney sponsored
by George Diffenbaugh and the
Kenwood Club. He didn't land in
the money, for there were only two
money positions, and two more ex-
perienced men grabbed them. But
he did prove that he is going to be
a rugged lad when he has more time
to play and practice.

Black Sox Inner Gordon
One Of Comes Wonders

There's one infield which is apt to
be overlooked in this scholarly dis
cussion of great inields here and
there. No one snubs Mack's famous
line, or the old Cubs, or the modern
Yankees. But the Black Sox of
Chicago 1919) had an infield that
was a pip, both defensively and Of
fensively, in Chick Gandil, Eddie
Collins, Swede Risberg and Buck
Weaver. Weaver probably was the
best third baseman of all time, COL
Inns had few peers at second base,
and Gandil and Risberg needed les
sons from nobody.
This ill-starred group collins
alone stayed honesD is the match of
even the Athletics infleld for all
around strength, hitting and fielding.
Collins says so himself, and he
played in both. But l doubt if any
infield, black or otherwise, was as
waterproof as the wall which today
links first base and third base at
Yankee Stadium.
Say, the Yankees may be hard to
beat at that.
