BY FRANK GETTY. CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville, May 17. A bay picture horse, with the speed of the wind and the heart of a lion, and the greatest jockey cf modern times whispering in his ear Gallant Fbx and Earl Sande are due to do their stuff this afternoon in the presence of the Earl ef Derby, guest of honor of some 50,000 tumultuous turf fans in the fiftysixth running of the Kentucky derby. There will be a dozen or more of the country's greatest three year elds giving battle to "The Fox" and Sande around the mile and a quarter of broad brown ribbon which encircles the glorious green of Churchill Downs, but the odds are and probably will be at post time that the handsome son of Galla-had Ill-Marguerite will Join the small and immortal list of odds-on derby winners. Greatest of Country.

The glamor of the country's greatest sporting spectacle holds this old fashioned Kentucky town and its thousands of visitors enthralled today. There's an old fashioned charm about this most famous of American turf fixtures, unequalled anywhere, and that goes for Epsom Downs, where the great races for three year olds to which the Earl of Derby's family gave the name, first were run. Many a great horse has come out of the East to stand the test at Churchill Downs and many have failed to make the grade, to the accompaniment of joyous rebel yells as some home-bred showed the way. This year Kentucky offers Tannery, E. F.

Prichard's home-bred, and the Bradley pair, Breezing Thru and Buckeye Poet, and many a two dollar bill fed into the mutuels here this afternoon will carry a fervent prayer for the success of a blue grass horse. The rail birds, the dockers, the tipsters and the stable hands, were talking, too, of High Foot, the chocolate brown son of Prince Pal, who is carrying the cash of Chicago. They muttered in enforced admiration when T. M. Cassidy's Crack Brigade and G.

W. Foreman's Ned galloped past the stands at daybreak today. These unknown but knowing experts had a kind word for Zieglers Gone Away and Stivers' Uncle Luther. But they couldn't see past "The Fox." Ip all Kentucky Derby history, there have been just nine odds-on favorites, including the immortal Old Rosebud which set the present record of 2:03 2-5, which "has won the blue ribbon classic and It looked today as though Gallant Fox would be the tenth. Fit and ready, never yet forced to his best with Earl Sande in the saddle murmuring encouragement and rating the colt through the mad jumble of flying hoofs.

Gallant Fox promised to win for the Belair stud and its popular trainer, "Sunny Jim" Fitzslmmons. Smallest In Years. The Derby crowd is the smallest in some years. Chicago didn't send its customary contingent, and there is not the exasperating congestion which has made a mad house of this old Kentucky town in the past. The field, too, is smaller than usual, due to the fact that Gallant Fox spread-eagled his fields in the East this spring.

Sixteen were named to go overnight, three of them doubtful starters. The favorite drew the favorable post position, seventh from the rail, which will make it easier for Sande to get "the Fox," under way, and with such a small field there should be no reason why the race is not truly run. The possibility of showers this afternoon did not greatly alarm the backers of Gallant Fox, although if the track proved sloppy, there was bound to be a rush of money for Tannery, as the Belair stud's horse has yet to prove his metal In the soft going. The presence of the Earl of Derby, due at noon from Lexington, where he has been confined by a mild attack of flu. added a fillip to the affair heretofore unknown to visitors at Churchill Downs.

A little white pagoda was erected for the special use of his lordship on the club house lawn. Others among the thousands at the downs came by air, rail, road and boat. Nearly 150 planes were due at the local air field today. Nearly 500 private cars were lined up in the railroad yards. The lure of the Kentucky Derby brought them from far and-near.

1 William Braucher The Golf Player's Borden. Bobby Jones is starting a campaign this year for four great championships, the British and the American Amatuer and Open titles. If he can go through these four, playing the kind of golf -that "wins, he will establish himself (if, indeed he is not already so established) as the greatest golfer of all time. For golf is a business that does the tsame thing to a well-ordered set of nerves that a plaj'ful Persian kitty can do to a skein of woolen thread. Jerry Tr a vers was supposed to jown a set of nerves that he could keep pretty well handcuffed.

Tra- vers went about the fairways and the greens with a face that bore all the expression of a cold storage egg. With silent tongue and Immobile features, he became known as the poker face of golf. The only symp-f torns he ever betrayed of the turmoil that must have gone on within him were occasional flicks of his club after his shots, and you had to be a mind reader to analyze these. The Agony. Yet for all of Traver's granite countenance he suffered.

During the night before his last match in England, he lay awake all night, tossing, turning, planning, fretting, hoping. -He had shot a 72 the day before. After a night of torture he went out to be beaten, with 89. Travers was magnificent at concentration. In 1915 at Balustrol he needed nine par holes in a row to win.

During the playing of those nine holes he Eaw nothing outside of his game. Several times friends took his arm and spoke to him. He did not respond he didn't even know they were there. He won by one stroke, but for days after, he was on the verge of a breakdown. Jones Happier Now.

Jones has learned how to go along without the impetuous outbreaks of his earlier days, taking his breaks philosophically, doing his best on every shot. He is happier as a golfer now than he was before George Von Elm handed him that generous pasting back in 1926 at Balustrol. Jones used to let his nerves explode quite often before that defeat, and he has Von Elm to thank for the attitude he takes toward the game today. But the most philosophical attitude in the world must fight to hold its place against the mounting stress of championship battles. The Walker Cup and the other matches in which Jones will appear this year number five.

Suppose he has gone through three of these events with victory and he is under the burden of winning two more- to make it a clean sweep. Talk about your ninth inning with the bases loaded! This is a job for Hercules. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't better to pop off once in a while and break the tension. During the British Open at Sunningdale in 1926 Wild Bill Melhorn broke a brassie across his knee and played magnificent golf after that. Whe knows the answer, if any? DID YOU KNOW THAT George Burns was voted the most valuable player in the American League in 1926 now Red Kill-efer, manager of the San Francisco Missions, is seeking a first baseman to: take George's place George hasn't been hitting Young Corbet III now holds two decisions over the new welterweight champion, Young Jack Thompson, both obtained in San Francisco When Nibs Price's Golden Bear takes the gridiron next fall, the backfeild is likely to be composed of Griffiths, Watkins.

Garrity and Gill George Voigt believes Roland Mackenzie of the Walker Cup team, would be one of the world's greatest players if he paid more attention to practice Jack Sharkey's trainer, Tony' Polozzla, says Jack Is in good condition and won't have to go in strenously until the third week of training Uncle Wilbert Robinson made a bet the other day that the Robins would finish higher in the National than the Yanks in the American.

Calvin Coolidge. VT (T IT IT ERRORS ARE COSTLY FOR CARDINALS DePauw Captures Pitchers Duel, 1 to 0. The Cardinals of Ball State College were defeated by the DePauw Tigers, I to 0, at Greencastle Friday afternoon, in the best game played by the local diamond men this season. DePauw was defeated on the Ball Athletic Field.

6 to 4. DePauw one rim came in the eighth inning. With two down, Fravel misjudged the ball in right field and let a man get on base. Shively tried to tag the runner when he attempted to steal second, but overthrew. The next man up hit to Smith, who fumbled and lost the ball, allowing the runner to score.

Coach Paul Williams' cohorts made three all of them in the one fatal inning. The Tigers were guilty of one error and got four hits. Ball State gleaned three hits. Two Reach Third. Only twice did men get to third, one man from Ball State and the other the only scorer in the encounter.

It was primarily a pitcher's battle. Roetkin struck owt nine men. while the DePauw hurter accounted for five. Roetken was bothered by a bad right leg. but managed to stick through the entire battle to pitch one of the best mound battles of the year.

Ball State College will fight It out with the Wabash College Cavemen Monday at 3:45 p. on the Ball Athletic Field. The encounter will be the Card's next to the last home game, the final one being June 3, with Danville. Better Luck Now. Earlier in the season Wabash swamped the Williamsmen 14 to 7.

However, the Cards played a poor game in comparison with showings since then. The Ball State outfit has not only improved, but it seems to have better luck on its home diamond, so a tight game is to be expected. Hiatt will start the game for the Cardinals, with Roetken in reserve. Brogneaux has been suffering from a badly bruised leg, but his condition is better. The usual lineup will be used Shively, catcher; Liggett, first; Smith, second; Hutchison, shortstop; Williams, third; Brogneaux, Lindzy and Fravel, outfield.

The United States' hopes of regaining the Davis Cup, lost to France in 1927, brightened today as the youthful stars selected for the 1930 campaign started preparations for the final American zone match against Mexico at Washington, D. next week.

The United States advanced to the final round of zone competition yesterday, defeating Canada three matches to none. The final two singles matches today, will have no effect on the series. John Van Ryn scored the opening victory for America by beating Dr. Jack Wright in the singles, 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, and he paired with Wilmer Allison to beat Dr. Wright and Willard Crocker in the doubles, 6-0.

6-4. 6-2. George Lott scored a straight set victory over Marcel Rainville of Montreal in the other singles match, 6-2, 6-2. 8-6. Gala Opening Notre Dame and Indiana Head Great Field.

SOUTH BEND, May J7. Indiana's collegiate track stars went to the pole at Cartier Field today, endangering field meet records that have remained unbeaten for many years. Primarily the meet was to decide the state collegiate championship, but Indiana and Notre Dame were far ahead of the field and interest on performances of individual athletes. Indiana was the defending champion and Notre Dame was determined to regain the crown it won last in 1928. The Irish won from the Crimson by two points in an indoor dual meet at Bloomington last winter and their followers were confident today.

Feature events on the program included the mile run, the half-mile, the 100-yard dash, the 220, the 440 and the relays. The two hurdle events also attracted considerable notice. Martin Big Favorite. Purdue's Oral Martin was expected to be the winner in the mile and half-mile, with Little and Wilson of Notre Dame, and Sivak of Butler as strong contenders. In the quarter mile Joe Abbott, captain of Notre Dame, and his team mate, Alec Wilson, are favorites.

The field of sprinters includes Ramsay of DePauw, Boagni, McCormick and Nichols of Notre Dame, Braumbaugh of Indiana Normal, Gordon of Indiana and Odom of Purdue. The hurdle events brough together such stars as Hatfield of Indiana, and O'Brien and Bailie, Notre Dame. Indiana, Purdue, DePauw and Notre Dame all have exceptional relay teams and new records in these events were expected.

77 T7TY MATERIAL PROVIDED BY JUNIOR HIGHS Indications Arc fo a Fast but Light Squad. Although twelve members of the 1929 gridiron machine of Central High School will be lost by graduation and Ineligibility this spring, Coach Walter Fisher apparently has corns good material around which to form his next combination. This was revealed when spring practice was called recently. Reporting for scrimmage were all of the veterans who will again be in school, along with a number of new men. A squad of 35 candidates has been working put at the Ball Recreational Field.

Several, promising candidates have developed among former Junior high school stars, who will be eligible for the first time next falL When the moleskins were laid away last fall, 12 men had played their last football for Central High School. They were Smith Thompson, "Teeny" Swain, Marion Bwift, Eugene Teal and Orville Mc-Callister, backfield men; Francis Reed, center; Ed Green, John Ran-sopher. Sasser Forthman and McCoy, linemen. In addition. Bobbie Parr, who played but one game, will also be lost to the team.

Fast, Light Hquad. A glance at the prospective candidates indicates Fisher should have a fast outfit, but one lacking in beef and brawn. The uncle line will be much lighter than in past years, even lighter than the 1929 crew, which was the smallest in the history of the school. The Bearcats face a tough schedule next season. It is substantially the same as last year, with one exception.

The Cats will meet Anderson, instead of Evans-ville Central. The other teams encountered last fall, including Koko-mo. El wood. Newcastle, Clinton, Technical. South Side of Fort Wayne, Wabash, Marion and Lo-gansport will again be played.

The Wabash game la still tentative, Among the Junior high stars who have Joined the ranks are Rowe, Rivers, Conquest. Tshores, Evans, Worl, Upton, Risher, Millett, Ellison and several others, some of whom show promise of giving Fisher much-needed reserve material. Available from last year's squad will be Karlen, a substitute quarterback; Alexander, another second string backfield man; Denshire, halfback; I Settles. Wulf f. Dunavent.

Shroyerj limit. King, Max Wilson and Maurice Wilson, linemen. Interest Lacking. t.There are still many more in high school, who failed to report" for spring practice and lack of interest in the game is the contributing factor, it is said. Efforts will be made next fall to stimulate greater interest in this sport.

Last season was not only a poor one from the financial standpoint but from that of school loyalty, and Fisher at times was hard put to find enough men for a crimmage. The same thing has developed in spring practice, and only about twice a week do enough men report for a scrimmage. However, it was pointed out there is no real incentive at this time to keep the boys in uniform. In the fall, with a game scheduled each week, they have something to look forward to. As Fisher says, to make the team next fall, aspirants must first learn the fundamentals of the game, and the only way to do this is to take advantage of the spring parctice.

and the football training camp. No player will be taken to Camp Cros-ley who did not participate in spring workouts. League Standing NATIONAL LEAGUE. Won Lost Pet.

Swiderskl knocked Walker down three times in the first round and was so anxious to score a knockout that he slugged Walker after the bell.

Midget Wol-gast of Philadelphia, recognized in New York State and Pennsylvania as world flyweight champion, successfully defended his title against Willie La Morte of Newark In a scheduled 15-round bout last night in Madison Square Garden. The match ended at the close of the fifth round, when La Morte, starting for his corner, fell to the canvas, with his head twitching aid his body quivering in a series of convulsions. His seconds carried him to his dressing room where physicians made an examination and announced that La Morte had suffered "a spasm of the heart brought on by a blow Just under the heart." La Morte was soon revived and seemed to be all right when he left for home. SHARKEY IN TRAINING. ORANGEBURG, N.

They understand that the word means the remission of tension, but they seem to have trouble in finding that spot at which they are relaxed gut retain firm control of all their movements. One can be free of stiffness or locked joints and still maintain firmness. Firmness allows a freedom of motion that is not to be found when tension or strain is on any particular section, I have seen golfers who thought they had to relax to tne extent that they were inclined to collapss.

The result is that their swings are punchless. True, gripping the club too tightly is an evil, but good shots do not come from a flabby grip. There must be a firm grip that still permits the flexibility in the wrists. With regard to the hands, the club can be held firmly and in complete control "by just four fingers, the third and fourth on the left hand and the thumb and forefinger on the right hand. And the flexibility remains in the wrists.
