KENTUCKY DERBY FIELD OF ELEVEN SEEMS ASSURED
AgriCOle Out; Meade Up on Little Beans?-Fast
 Track Looms

Louisville. Ky, May 1--(UP) = Eleven starters were in prospect for the 67th Kentucky Derby today as trainers and owners finished their chores and prepared to gather at the racing secretary's office to- morrow for the ceremony of draw ing the field.
 The declaration of Shady Brook Farms Agricole, only doubtful start- CT in the field of l2 predicted most of the week, thinned the ranks down to the solid factors-Our Boots, Porter's Cap, Whirlaway, Staretor, Swain, Little Beans, Ro. bert Morris, Dispose, Market Wise, Blue Pair and Valdina Paul."
 Owner Rocco Palladino denied re. ports that Don Meade might not be able to ride Little Beans. Meade, the champion rider of 1889, will arrive Friday. Eddie Arcaro also is due tomorrow to replace Wendell Eads in the saddle of Whirlaway.
 The weather has been mild for the past week. At the moment no storms are in sight and a fast track is in prospect for the race on Sat- urday. Several trainers kept their fingers crossed as @ muddy footing would move several horses, notably Porter's Cap, up several notches.
 Louisville itself began to swell with visitors. Special trains, air. planes and automobiles brought customers to tonw by the hundreds. Hotel rooms are sold out and Col. Matt Vim is standing by his pre- diction that the attendance will hit 100000 for the first time in Derby history.

SCHINDLER PUBLIC
 CHOICE IN DANBURY

Danbury, Conn.,, May 1.-Broncho Bill Schindler, one-legged daredevil from Freeport. L. l., who is rated near the top of the heap of midget racers of all time rules a favorite in the opening meet of the Danbury Speedways in the Danbury Fair Grounds Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
 The reason for this is that Schin- Ter has q new Offenhauser, just brought east from California which is said to be hotter than a Fourth of July flrecracker. Everybody knows of Schindler's daring and if the car is as fast as reported then other thirty odd pilots will have a hard time keeping up with him.

 BRAVES SPIRIT
Looks on Baseball Stock Buy in Boston as "Inter.
 esting Speculation
By GLENN HARVEY United Press Staff Correspondent

kUmteu TfeSS StAH COfTcSpOnuent)
 Boston, May 1-(UP)--Tn 1914 the Boston Graves created a sensation by coming out of the cellar to win the world series in four straight games. The same year 21 year old Francis Ouimet created & sensation by winning the national amateur golf championship at Ekwanok.
 The Braves, lately known as the Bees, have just got their old name back, and with 1t, Ouimet believes, lot of the oldtime spirit that made possible the miracle of 27 years ago
 When Ouimet, newly-named vice president of the club, bought him. self a modest hunk of the Braves the other day, 1t should have been a steer for the wagering gentry who scorned the Boston Nationals in their winter books.
 One can readily understand Ouimet, the amateur golfer. taking Q plunger in Horsehide, Ltd. But when one considers that 1t was Ouimet, the professional broker, who signed the check that closed the deal, that is horse of another color. A brokers eye Is as sharp as a hounds tooth, especially when It's trained on going concern.
 Ouimet, the broker is coldly analytical of his new property. T prefer" he says, mot to look upon the Braves as an investment, but rather as an interesting specula- tioa."
 Fan to Owner
 Ouimet, the golfer, however, is the model example of the baseball fan who has realized & lifelong dream-to own part of 8 major league ball club and to be able to walk through the turnstiles without saying boo.
 They'll win lot Of games," said Ouimet the golfer, and an eager smile chased Ouimet the broker out of his eyes. "They have & winning spirit-like the old 1914 Bravfes."
 This suggested a new thought to him.
 What did that team have any, way, beyond Rabbit Mavanville, Johnny Evers and three good pitch CTS? Why, this Braves team Is a better club than that one was, and It's got the same team spirit. All we need are a couple of winning pitchers .."
 Ouimet stared thouehtfully at the wall as though trying 10 recall in which pocket of which suit he had eft couple of winning pitchers. Then he remembered.
 "F errell ought to win some games 'or us. Wes can win lot of games with his head, even If his arm loesn't stand up. or course" he hastily amended, "he still has to ,hrow the ball up there"
 Hopes for Best
 Did he think the Braves would push their way into the first divi- ion?
 "Why wouldn't be surprised r." began Ouimet the golfer, but )uimet the broker interrupted, well, I don't like to make any pre- fiction, but .'
 Ouimet, the broker, one suspects, las bought himself a few shares in } very healthy corporation on the we of a bull market. And one fur. her suspects that Ouimet the ,olfer's handicap will rise with the Braves this summer.
 Shucks, a guy can't be in grand tand and a sand-trap at the same ime, can he?
