King Cole NotYet Put To Test In Distance Races

 CTS for the Kentucky Derby.
 BY JACK GUENTHER
 United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, April 18-(UP)--The nursery rhyme states that old King Cole was merry old soul fond of tobacco, ale and music. It's sad to relate, but his turf namesake is cut from 8 different pattern. For the only trait ogden Phipps Young King Cole has displayed to date is what might be called Garbo com plex. He likes to be alone.
 Specifically, he likes to be alone out in front, with @ great patch of sunshine between him and his near est rivals. Usually that's where he can be found. He can break fast, he has more speed than he needs and the only question he hasn't an- swered as yet is whether he can last a distance. A year ago the experts said no, but now they are changing their minds.
 King Cole was bred by c. E. flag yard, was bought by Phipps at the Saratoga sales for $6,500 and is trained by Jim Fitzsimmons. In the beginning he was 8 skinny thing, but he developed into one of the five best juveniles of 1s40 although--true to MT Fitz's tradition--he wasn't permitted to debut until midsum- mer.
 The king lost some of his clients when he was beaten twice in the fall and ended up with 8 record of four triumphs in nine starts, but the packers who dropped him forgot that Fitzsimmons horses seldom show speed at two. That rernem- bered it last week -end when King Cole followed right along the trail Johnstown blazed two years ago and won the Psunonok at Jamaica.
 It was a regal performance. The bay son of Pharamond II-Golden Melody won in a gallop, leading from wire to wire and almost four full lengths ahead at the end. He defeated 10 older rivals and none ever drew close. The time was 1:ll 4-5 and could have been consider ably faster if his jockey - Porter Roberts-hadn't eased him up at the end.
 Today the rugged young fellow is the East's strongest challenger for the horseshoe of roses that Sunny Jim has won three times already His future book price has dropped to around 6-l and he is considered one of five Nkeliest colts in the race If things shape up as planned he probably will be coupled with Wheat stables Bold Irishman, aii- other Fttzsimmons charge.
 King Cole will go next in the wood memorial on April 26 and then shir to Kentucky. He was not named fol the Preakness or the Belmont but can be included in the former as e supplementary entry. If he shows he can travel the route, he may vel be the one to beat for all the money

Collegiate Skeet
 Shoot Saturday

Lordyhip, Conn.,, April l6.-College gunners from all sections of the country will step to the firing hne' Saturday, April l9 to vie for honors in the third annual Intercollegiate skeet championships under auspices of the Remington Gun club.
 Princeton will be hard pressed to retain it's team title, annexed last year by the record score of 24Ox2oO, by crack squads representing tne Army, Yale and Dartmouth. The Tigers have held team honors since the championships were instituted two years ago, but additional en- tries from other colleges are ex- pected to make the competition tougher for the boys from Jungle town.
 This year the team and indtvid- ual events have been made 100 tar gets, meaning that @ team will fire 500 instead of the former 250 shots.
 The individual title was won by Philip Conway of Morristown, N. J.. last year, with a score of 49 X 50. Although tied by Howard Ingels of Yale, Conway won in the shootoff with a 9 X 25, while Ingels dropped seven birds for an 18 x 25. Although Conway was graduated from Prince ton last year, IngelS will be back with the Ellis, pointing for the title he missed so narrowly the last time. In addition to the shoulder-to- -s.a,,fslar ..n,.a fit4r,a ak the narn~ ngton Gun club. there will be Q telegraphic event for colleges in dis tant states. Entries have been re- ceived from Rollins College. Winter Park. Fla. the University of Texas and the Colorado School Of Mines.

 e. When and where is the 1941 Army Navy football game to be played?
 A. It is scheduled for November 20, at Philadelphia, Pa.
 O. In what round did the Billy Cur Dorazio bout in August 1889, end?
 A. Referee Leo Houck stopped the bout after 1 minute and b2 sec- onds of the Bth round, because Do razio was half blind from a badly cut left eye.
 Q. Who rode Man O War when he suffered his only defeat, and was the jockey ruled of the track for life after this race?
 A. Johnny Loftus rode Man O War when the latter suffered his only defeat in the Sanford Memorial Stakes at Saratoga on August lS, 1919. His riding license was not ssis- pended for that ride and, in fact, he rode the Riddle champion in several later races, but 1t was gen- erally known that the Jockey Club would not act favorably if he re- quested a renewal of his license the following year, and he did not re- quest it, terminating his career as Q rider after the 1919 season.

Connecticut Relays
 Set For Saturday

Storrs, Conn, April l6-The sixth annual Connecticut relays. origin ated by J. o. Christian when he came to Connecticut seven years ago, will be held on the university campus on Saturday, April 19, be- ginning at 1:l6 D. m. The start. ing time has been moved up in or- der to allow the competitors and coaches of the high school teams attending the relays to be guests at the opening baseball game with Massachusetts State College.
 The baseball game Is scheduled to start at $50 D. m. and will be played on Connecticut's new dta- mond. A brief dedicatory cere- mony has been planned for five minutes before game-tiine and Pres ident A. N. Jorgensen will open the season by throwing the first ball. With over four hundred competitors and coaches expected, the game will probably set record for attendance for any Connecticut baseball opener. Bleachers have been erected on the first base side of the field to hold 1900 people. The new diamond, which has a natural setting and which has been patterned after the Red Sox diamond in Boston, pro- vides fine playing surface for varsity games.
 Although entries are not yet com- plete, 1t is expected before Friday that the relay entry list should ape proach last years total of forty schools.
 As in the past, plaques will be awarded to winning relay teams in each class. There is no champion ship award since the relays have been planned as preliminary to the scholastic competitive seasons and no attempt is made to de- termine a relay champion.
 Coach J. o. Christian will be aid- ed by other members of the athletic stan serving as officials along with other faculty members and students who have offered their services.

TIMELY TENNIS TOPICS
SPRING COURT CONDITIONING
By the
United State Lawn Tennis Association

At this moist stage, the following procedure is recommended, each step in rotation:
 1. Roll surface and cross roll (once or twice in each di- rection) with a reasonably light roller to firm the working surface. A suitable type roller for this initial firming is Q er-ballast type, 30-inch diameter, 36- inch width, filled or partial- ly filled with water. A l. . 00O-pound roller of a four- foot width is suitable. 2. Scratch this rolled surface immediately with sharp iron rakes, loosening the clay a good half inch deep. 3. Finely rake this loose clay to remove any small stones. A Japanese type broom rake is suitable for this purpose.
 4. Spread over this loose sur- face the fresh screened clay to the required quantities. The clay should have been prepared previously to avoid delay at this stage.
 5. Drag a mat or grading im- plement over this screened clay or smooth the surface. 6. Roll again with the lighter roller (same as first rolling). T. Over this rolled surface spread evenly a thin layer (good top dressing) of the screened clay.
 8. Drag again with mat. This will deposit the dressing in any small depressions. 9. Roll and cross roll several times, using heavier type roller if that has been the usual maintenance proced- ure. Tn many cases, the wa- ter-ballast roller Is used during the playing season. It usually requires more rolling and longer time with this lighter type of roller. 10. Sprinkle this rolled surface and as soon as sufiiciently dry. roll again.
 II. After sprinkling and Toll- ing, spread thin dressing of clean sharp sand. Drag and roll again. The court Is then ready for marking.
