Requested Has
Enough Speed And
Courage For Derby

GEDITOR's NOTE: Following
Is the ninth dispatch in o series
highlighting ii foremost contend
ers for the 68th Kentucky Derby
on May r.
BY CHARLES MOREY
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, April 23-(UP)-One
great race by Texas Ben Whitaker's
Requested has built him into CO.
favoritism at Al with Alsab in the
future book for the 68th running
Of the $4,000 Kentucky Derby on
May 2.
The race was the $4,000 Fla
rningo Stakes, run over q mile and
one-eighth route at Hialeah Park
last February. Requested, who had
received nothing but bad notices
for failing to win in three previous
starts, ran so brilliantly that over
night he became the champ Of the
winter three-year-olds and was
hailed as the horse to Beat In the
Derby.
The story Of the Flamingo is one
Of courage. Placed In 18th post
position In the 16 horse field and
forced to break from outside the
starting gate, Requested was away
so badly he seemed left, and was
far back as the field jammed to-
gether In the run to the first turn.
With Eddie Arcade riding, Re-
quested trailed for the first three
quarters Of mile. Then, with the
drive on, and the early leaders
firing, the Whitaker colt started his
rush to the lead. Arcaro weaved
him through the pack and when
the bulky field Strengthened away
for the run to the wire, Requested
was in front. He widened out to
win by four lengths.
Rusty
Requested then was given seven
weeks vacation. He was kept in
Florida for a month and then was
shipped north TO Maryland. He
made his first start since the
FIamingo in the Chesapeake Stakes
last Saturday and showed his rusti-
ness by finishing third, behind Col
chs and Alsab.
The Whitaker hopeful will get
his final prep for the Derby in the
$4,000 Wood Memorial Saturday.
There again, he will meet Colchis
and also Apache, the casts major
hope for the Derby. Unless he
fails completely in the Wood he will
be shipped to Kentucky the next
day.
Requested has speed and cour-
age. He is a son Of QUESTIONABLE
and the Derby route Of mile and
one-quarter should not trouble him.
II he can regain his Flamingo form
he may get the Derby roses May
2.

PLAYS INFREQUENTLY
BUT SHOOTS IN 50S

Jacobus has little interest In play

He tours his difficult layout about

Nelson Is his greatest protege. He
has also helped jug McSpaden, jim

When he met Nelson seven years
ago, he was impressed with the Tex

sonal habits.
Byron would practice all morning
and play all afternoon" he reminis-
ces, land If he was off, he couldn't
eat. That's how seriously he took
the game"
The two Of them are collaborat-

lieves will be a revolutionary trea-
tise on how to play golf.
The combined efforts Of COLTS

who helps him stay there should

Nelson Asks
Him To Check
Faulty Irons
BY BURTON BENJAMIN

Ridgewood, N. j., April 2S-When
Lord Byron Nelson's swing gets of
the trolley, he goes to George
Jacobus, the veteran professional
who hates to play and loves to
teach.
Jacobus, former president Of the
p. @. A. from 1882 to 1899, found
Nelson In 1885 and brought him
from the hard, dry fairways to Texas
to the more lush pastures in the
east.
He regrooved his form then, and
he is still Strengthening out the
Toledoan today.
Jacobus dissected the Nelson
swing q month ago at the st. Peters,
burg Open. His former assistant
approached him on the first tee be-
fore the final round. He was discon-
ISOLATE about his iron game.
"You going to follow me today,
George?" he asked.
II hadn't thought about It," re-
piled Jacobrs.
IT wish you would" Nelson plead
ed. Like you to give my iron game
a going over"
NELSON TOO FLAT
ON HIS IRON SHOTS
Jacobus trailed Nelson for Is
holes. To the uninitiated the differ
ence between Nelson sharp and Nell
son of would be minute. To his old
tutor, it was Immediately appar-
ent.
Byron was falling into an old err
ror, which Jacobus had sought to
remedy when the Texan moved east.
He was using too fiat swing with
his irons. His hands were out too
far. He was reaching not punching
the ball.
Jacobus made no comment during
the round. When he had finished
Nelson looked at him and asked:
us my swing still lousy?"
mo, not lousy" said Jacobus to
the man who has won every major
golf prize extant. "But not good
either. Your irons are shaped too
fiat. You'd better have them bent"
Then he went to work on the
Nelson swing. He moved him closer
