Demdret Fdvorite as Texans,
Used to Wind, Pull for Blow,
Forecast at New Orleans

Demaret finished with II apiece,
stroke under par for the notoriously
tough City Park course, but the
days best round went to Harold
jug" McSpayden, a native of
Kansas-where the weather has
been known to become gusty on
occasion.
Nelson, celebrating on Demaret's
play during blow, said Jimmy won
the San Francisco match play two
years ago 'in a terrific wind" and
beat the field by four strokes" last
season at Indian Creek, Miami, Fla,
when lit blew so hard you could
hardly stand up"
Of his own chances, Byron said,
I'm not as good in a wind as 1
once was because I've been East
since 1885. But I used to go out
and practice by the hour in a strong
blow. You see, there always is a
wind in Texas, and we have to get
used to hitting the ball low"

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-The

teeth of a booming gale, viewed with
satisfaction today the heavy weather
descending upon the $1,000 New
Orleans Open.
Although they cared little for the
Occasional rains" predicted for to-

which caused high winds here and
gales in their native State yester-

Demaret against the field" declared
P. G. A Champion Byron Nelson

admitted Demaret, Houstonian
who came from behind to win the
event last year.
The pro-amateur competition is

Pro Golf Fee Proposed
In California Bill

Politicians In California have in
troduced in the Legislature a bill
calling for a s25 registration fee
for professional golfers who carry
on their business in that State. The
license would require annual re-
neWal at a fee of S. to SIS.
The bill provides that if the name
of pro does not appear on the list
of registrants he cannot instruct in
golf, or advertise himself as an in
Structor.
The average golf pro has no large
income. Annual dues to the P. G.. A.
are S25 and it is supposed to be the
trade union of pro golf. In all
probability the powerful Professional
Golfers Association will get together
to put the crusher on this one.
But it's easy to imagine how the
pros around Washington, in Mary
land and Virginia would feel if the
State Legislatures tried such move.

WhirIowoy's Win Turns
Thoughts to Derby Day
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent of The Star


NEW YORK, Feb. 13 IN J.
This is cold and early day to be
talking about Derby horses, but
when WhirlaWay won his first start
of the year last week end, perform
ing soundly and in good time at
Hlaleah, the old fever clapped its
grip upon us winter Derby fans.
Between now and May 3, when
Col. Matt j. Winn, the hardboot
promoter, runs off the 9th copy of
the Kentucky Derby, racing bugs
will chart the course of every 3-year-
old with the remotest chance of
running for the roses at Louisville.
I can hear the sinister laughter
of the winter bookmakers now, as
they get their sheets ready. The
entries Will be announced March
10. and the winter books will follow
swiftly. The Derby practically is
around the corner.
WhirlaWay-your agent touted
this animal through thick and thin
last summer, and there was plenty
of thin-has Wintered we'll and
grown up into a big horse. He's
not as tall as he promised to be,
but he's tall enough, and there is
power in every line of his chest
and shoulders.

Lucky Turfman Torn
'Twixt Gold, Glory
After Coast Win
Victor in $50, 900 Race
Weighted at Only l04
In 100000 Test
BY ROBERT MYERS,
Associated Press Sports Writer


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.-Mr
Charley Howard, the wealthy San
Francisco horse owner, has quite a
problem.
He doesn't know whether to shoot
a double -barrelled threat at a
100000 purse, or save one barrel
and aim it at more glory than
gold
Howard's crack Porter's Cap
thoroughly thumped a field of the
finest 3-year-olds campaigning in
the West yesterday when he won
the $4,000 Santa Anita Derby.
The beautiful chestnut son of
The Porter took charge of the race
coming into the stretch and easily
subdued Mrs. Anthony Pelleteri's S
Bull Reign by four lengths, and left
Copperman to beat out Welcome
Pass in the photo finish for third.
The distance was a mile and one
eighth. Porter's Cap carried the
usual Derby weight for this event
of 120 pounds. and his rider, Jockey
Leon Buddy Haas, declared he
had plenty of run left-for mile
and one-quarter. if need be.
Assigned Light Load in Handicap.
The point is that the 100000
Santa Anita Handicap March l is
to be run at mile and one-quarter,
and so is the famed Kentucky Derby
later this spring. Porter'S Cap is
weighted at a mere 104 for the Santa
Anita Handicap. and the Kentucky
Derby scale is 1876 for colts.
Howard is perplexed. He doesn't
know whether to send Porter's Cap
into the big handicap here and try
to win his third cup-and huge pot
of gold-in the event. or perhaps
save Porter's Cap for the less rich
Kentucky Derby and other engage
ments for 3-year-olds that will
follow.
Poor, but lucky, Mr.. Howard. He
already has one top candidate for
the Santa Anita Handicap. That is
Midland. Should he send Porter's
Cap in. too? Howard frankly is in
a quandary. Previous to yesterdays
Derby, however, he had intimated
he would gun for the handicap prize
with Midland alone. He may change
his plans.
Derby Is Truly Run.
AS for yesterdays race. it was
perhaps the most truly run of the
Derby history. Forters Cap proved
he was the hest colt in tho fold
Ably ridden. he moved from fifth
place on the backstretch to collar
Bull Reign when ordered, leaving
the pace-Setting Madigama to fade
back, far out of the money.
Bull Reigh was the only rival that
had chance to offer a duel. and
he couldn't. He had enough trouble
hanging on to keep Coppernan and
the late charging Welcome Pass
from beating him out of the place
position. Swain, Nasca, Good Turn
which defeated Porter's Cap in a
shorter race February Pirate and
the rest Of the field tried to run at
one time or another, bu5 the run
just wasn't there.
For the records, Porters Cap, the
betting favorite, paid $500, s4 and
$500: Bull Reign. S640 and $500,
and Copperman, 1920.
Porter's Cap, over a heavy track,
was minute 5425 seconds.
All Is Of the entries went to the
post.
