Speedsters Entered In $5,OOO Field at 'Cansett Saturday

Pawtucket, R. T., April 20 - Sprinters again will come into theii own as Narragansett swings Into the second full week of its spring sea- son, with the six-furlong Bristol Handicap headlining the sport Twenty-four nominations have beer made for the $b,000 added event next Saturday. This list includes Mrs. Tilyou Christopher's Double rab the grey son of sherab which scored a convincing victory in the Spring Handicap.
 Beezley and Cohen's Grasshoppel II and Samborombon, which fln' ished second and third to Doubl- rab in the six-furlongs Spring Han dical, are slated to try the Illinois. bred colt again in the Bristol. All distances appear to look alike tc this versatile pair from California The two were named for four oi Narragansett's Ave stakes events this spring. Samborombon is mol in the sl0,000 Rhode Island Handi- cap, but his stablemate was made eligible for this feature and is ex- pected to start.
 In Or Out?
 Victor Emanuels Omission, aS' signed topwelght of f22 pounds by Handicapper Robert s. Shelley fol the Spring Handicap, declined tho issue in the opening day feature He is e nominee for the Bristol. He Is not at the track and his con. nectlons have not indicated whe- ther he will be sent on for the race It will be interesting to rote what weight Shelley assigns Omission in the week -end stake in view Of hia defeat by Transfgure and Madlg- ma in the Harford Handicap at Havre de Grace recently,
 Sam Birskin's Camp Verde. one Of the best Sprinters that appeared at the recent Oaklawn Park meet. ing, lost all action in the sloppy go- ing which prevailed for the Spring Handicap. If there is Q fast track for the Bristol, he should show tc better advantage.
 The Florida star. Dc Kalb. from the NlmkoR- Stuart stable, ran an incredibly poor race in the opening day stake over Q track that wat supposed to move him up. He will try to make amends for the crush ing defeat next Saturday.
 SpeedbaII
 B. B. Robinson's Woof Woof, m invader from the West Coast, 'wants q lightning fast track to bring out his best, according to Trainer Hurst Philpot. This fellow won the Flam- ingo of l040, ran Midland to a nose at Hollywood Park last summer. On the fast, he would be q formidable factor in next Saturdays contest.

They are unyieldlng in their hate, but loyal in their af- lection and for practically every Kentucky Derby in 20 years they ye whooped it up and Socked 1t in on any horse decked out in the green and white silks of their faVorite sportsman and gambler.
 He is listed in the record books as Colonel Edward Riley Bradley But his nclghbors in the blue grass call him "One-Two Ed" Four times his silks have flashed by the Judges stand on top = twice in one-two order-and that's record the Colonel holds dear. The icy-Veined old gent won with behave yourself, !, bubbling over, Burgoo King and Brokers Tip, but missed with Bime- lech two years ago-the one ne thought surest of all.
 This spring he's back again, talk ing Dead Aim on the $75,000 purse with stretch running son Of Sickle called Bless Me, who made name for himself last fall in the final furlong of the Walden handicap when he just missed beating Alsab by c short neck. There isn't much double the Bradley colt would have won If the race had been 50 yards longer
 Nursed Along
 Previous to the Walden, which was Bless Mes last race of the season, he had not finished worse than sec- ond nj five starts. He was handled in typical Bradley tyle for when the Colonel gets Q promising young ster he doesn't race him to death. Bless Me didn't make his debut ul- til August of last year which gave him plenty of change to grow and i'll out.
 Bless Me spent last winter in Florida He didn't get to the races because Bradley was suspicious of one leg and refused to take chances on permanent injury. He came north to Kentucky and started ct Keeneland last week finishing Up fourth in Q Bix-furlong dash behind Sun again mad Whirlaway. He was beaten only a half length for first money and looked aS though he were just beginning to find his racing legs ct the wire.
 Bless Me is another prospective starter in the blue grass stakes at Keeneland this Thursday and he may go to town over the mile and one-eighth route.
 Col. Bradley now is past 30, How many more derbies he will see no one can say. But you can be sure that c lot of persons ct Churchill Downs on May 2, who could never be chased as hard boots, will Dc roofing for those green and white colors to come in Just once more.

As c result, all three coaches, Jim Lee of Wilby, Bill Tracy of LeaV- erworth and Jack Manher2 of Cros- by as not too sure about starting lineupS, especially pitches

The scene involved the exit from

Should other Japs in the room

made this popular suggestion ::
You can avoid this trouble by not
letting the prince leave the room at
