What use is there of ranting

here" he commented. 1.-THE way
this exhibition schedule is set
up can't blame the fellows for
being off form. We started out
early in the morning and flew
to Miami. We played two night
games and then flew back and
had daylight games.
That's not the way to train.

3Horses Head LIST
Of 1877 Nominations
For Kentucky Derby
By the Asseeiussd Press


LOUISVILLE, KY, Mar. IA
Racing's most promising sopho-
mores were among the 1877
nominees for the 1858 Kentucky
Derby announced today by
Churchill Downs.
The 10th Derby will be run
May 2, the traditional first Sat-
urday in May. at the Downs.
AS usual. the $100,000-added
mile-and-a-quarter test collected
nominating fees for last years
most successful juvenile cam
paigners as wall as a full quota Of
INFESTED youngsters.
In the first group are such up
and-coming hopefuls as Native
Dancer, last years unbeaten king
of the 2-year -olds; Chanlea, win
ner of the recent Santa Anita
Derby. and Straight Face, best
3-year-old to come out of winter
racing in Florida.
Three-way Bid Possible.
Since it is possible that none
Of this trio will face the other
before Derby time, unless plans
Of their owners are changed, the
1858 classic may come up with a
rare three-way bid for favoritism.
Nevertheless, the nominees in
clude a formidable group of
three-year-olds that are still de-
veloping and could push all three
out of the picture. This group
includes Royal Bay Gem, second
to Straight Face in the recent
100000 Flamingo; Merryman
and Correspondent, second and
third, respectively, to Chanlea
in the Santa Anita Derby. and
others. In all, 20 horses that
won stakes races last year were
made eligible.
Calumet Farm will go after
its unprecedented sixth derby
crown with Chanlea and four
other hopefuls, including one of
three f1llies among the nomi-
nees. The fill9 is Bubbley, the
top-weighted member of her sex
in the Experimental free Handi-
cap. Other Calumet eligibles
are Bob Away, Breez BY and
Poppy Lad.
The only other owners to
tackle the odds against a f1lly
winning the big gallop. which is
considered too tough for many
strong colts so early in their
racing careers, were Mrs. Ben F..
Whitaker, who nominated Gre
clan Queen, and Mrs. Ada l..

Anti-CathOlic
Leader Quits

BONN-(NC)-One of Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer's most vo-
eiferous opponents on educational
policies and the question of the
German Concordat has resigned.
He is Reinhold Maier, head of the
government of the State of Baden
Wuerttemberg, and a leader of
the liberal Free Democratic party.
DR.. Maier headed a coalition
government in his state consisting
of Socialists and Liberals, while
the Christian Democrats were in
the opposition. The results of the
last general elections showed that
the coalition parties had no longer
a majority. The new Prime Minis
ter, Gebhard Mueller, is a Chris
tian Democrat and he will again
head a coalition government.
The former Prime Minister and
his government attempted to push
through provision of the Baden
Wuerrtemberg state constitution
which would introduce so called
mixed" schools and do away with
the existing Catholic denomina-
tional schools. This led to re-
peated representations of the
Papal Nuncio in Germany, Arch
bishop Aloysius J. Muench, who
pointed out that such measures
would run counter to the 1888
German Concordat with the Holy
See.
Shortly before his resignation,
DR.. Maier in a letter to Chancel-
lor Adenauer repeated his asser-
ton that the German Concordat
is not binding on the German
states and expressed doubts wheth-
er the agreement, concluded by
the Hitler regime, is still valid.
DR.. Adenauer had previously
warned DR.. Maier against any at
tempts to question the validity of
the Concordat. He pointed out
that in the view of most legal
authorities this agreement is still
in force and that the German Fed
eTal Republic would suffer great
harm if it disregarded the Con-
cordat.
