New York, April 10 - (U.P.) -
Jack Doyle, the beSpectacled Broad
way odds-maker who will give you a
price on anything from turtle races
to President Roosevelt's 1914 re-
election, established the New York
Yankees and the st. Louis Cards
today as favorites in the major

The little Irishman, who figures
odds on everything but horse races,
believes the whole opening line may
be up set by the war effort and that
despite the war there will be con-
siderable wagering.

situation adds to the lure" said
Doyle, who has been quoting pen

TOday's Sport Parade

and he few the colors of the same
branch of the family-Mrs. H. p.
Whitney, owner OF the powerful
Greentree Stable.
You may remember this Devil
Diver. Last year he was one Of the
best Juveniles on the Atlantic coast.
He ran 20 times, he never finished
out OF the money and he earned
$50, 359-the third biggest cum won
by a horse Of his age. With the
ubiquitous Arcaro aboard, he out
roughed the field in the $4,000
Saratoga Hopeful for his big stake.
It Is not yet possible to determine
II Devil Diver is solid meat or ust
potatoes. That is because he hasn't
yet been sent out for a race longer
than a sprint. He will get a chance
to prove his stamina In the Bipe
Grass Stakes on April % and II he
supplies the correct answer to that
$32 question he will roll on to Louis
vile for the big show.
If there is a jockey who can start
him rolling down that glory road,
it is Arcaro. He has earned more
than 100000. Last season he was
grounded for three months, yet he
won 0386,S56. Ten per cent of the
sum he kept as commission, which
gives you tip as to why he hustles.
Arcaro is best known for steering
the wild but wonderful Whirlaway
| through the mysteries Of the Derby,
PFeakness and Belmont Stakes but
actually he has done considerably
more than that. There Is scarcely
big race in all the land he hasn't
won at least once. This year, for in
stance, he has grand slammed the
$4,000 Flamingo and $4,000 Wide
ner.
"a Test
Eddie Is smart, quick and daring.
He has an uncanny knack of slam
ming into holes so small that you
can hardly see them. He has skin
and he has the courage to make the
best possible use Of his skill. Right
now they are calling him another
Sande, but the description I like
best was voiced by a well known
| trainer.
Eddy is primarily a money jockey"
he said. 'He rides well at all times,
but he rides better as the purses
get bigger. In fact, II you make a
purse big enough. Eddie win win
II he has to pick his horse up, throw
him owsr his shoulder and carry him

New York, April l0-(UP)-A
hustling, bustling little man who
celebrated l94l by winning con-
siderably more than his weight in
gold moved today into the second
phase Of a campaign to duplicate
the feat in platinum. Signor Eduar-
do Arcaro, who won one Kentucky
Derby with Lawrin and another
with Whirlaway Is heading towards
q third with Devil Diver.
The 1912 turf seasons opened in
New York and Kentucky yesterday
and once again the Signor was the
four.star attraction. While the
Eastern horse lovers found little
except comic relief at Jamica, the
hard boot boys who thronged the
trim Keenland course at Lexington
watcher Arcaro take a long leap
towards the race of roses.
Just few minutes after he
climbed into the saddle, the king of
the nations jockeys whooped his
newest baby home to an exciting
triumph in the $500 Phoenix
Handicap. Among the horses Divel
Diver defeated in his first start of
his three-year-old career were the
co-favorite in the Derby future
books, Sun Again, and old man
Whirlaway himself.
The victory was memorable and
overshadowed everything else that
happened in racing during the day.
The track was deep in mud and
Whirlaway and Sun Again were
favored, but Arcaro broke Devil
Diver on top and kept him there
all the way. Whirlaway doomed up
fast at the end, but the Greentree
youngster held on gamely and won
by head.
What did he prove? Well, he dis
closed that he was 1T and that he
has successfully bridged the awsome
gap between horses two and three
year-old careers. He also dropped a
couple Of points from the 1c-1 rank
ing he was rendered when the future
books opened. Sun Again rose few
notches from his 81, which he held
along with Alsab.
