Corum's Song Same-Biggest Derby of All LOUISVILLE, Ky JJP), This Kentucky Derby, says Bill Corum, will outstrip some of the others in a common gallop. Now, that's about what you'd expect Corum to say.

He's the new boss at Churchill Downs and planner-in-chief of the Derby. And, besides, that's a stock forecast about this time of year. "The biggest derby yet," they always say. BUT THE purpose here is not to hold forth that Corum catches on fast to the old tune. He doesn't hum it.

He sings it with words. So here's why, in his estimation, the 1950 Derby will indeed be one of the biggest of 76. Most important, it looks like every section of the country will have a favorite runner to pull for. There's Oil Capitol from Oklahoma, Your Host from the Pacific coast, Middleground from Texas, Futumatlc from Chicago, Wisconsin Boy from Wisconsin, Bel O' Roses from Maryland and a whole flock of prospects (Theory, Lotowhlte, etc.) to carry the hopes of the Kentucky hardboots. That's just a sampling, of course, but it shows what Corum is talking about when he talks about a "national" derby.

But not even that consideration makes it the biggest Derby. YouF gorto" ha ve 'more' people and sell more mint juleps. "Oh, yes it does," Corum disagrees. "When you get a field from all over the land like that you get people from all over the land." And there you have it. The horses, the people and the mint julep sales.

The old tune, "big gest derby yet," with lyrics writ' ten to fit it. Shop Monday 9:30 to 5:30 NEW YORK. UP. What has become of the "wartime" baseball player? For the most part, he's home tending garden, or working at some other frade. A check Saturday revealed that of the 559 players listed on major league rosters in 1945 the last year of the war only 31 still are with the same clubs.

That's about one out of every 18 players. SOME HAVE been traded. One has died. And there has even been a suicide. Jake Powell, former Washing ton and New York Yankees' outfielder, shot himself to death Nov.

"Mentally and physically I feel a lot better. I'm not worried a bit now. I was greatly worried before the X-rays showed noth ing wrong." Dr. Edgar Watson, who checked him over, said X-rays, detected no calcium deposits. no sign of arthritis or any- Newhouser.

who has worked just two innings in spring exhibition eames. walked off the mound in batting practice Tues day with the complaint that "my arm hurts. The left hander commented "The doctors told me everything will be all right. All I need is a few more days rest. It might be a week.

It all depends on the weather." Louis Browns came up with perhaps the most talked-of rookie in all baseball. Pete Gray, a fine prospect, was purchased by the Browns from Memphis of the Southern Association, where he, had hit ,333. But his batting average was not the reason the St. Louis club obtained Gray. You see, he had only one arm.

Gray hit only .218 77 games for the Browns, but was a tremendous gate attraction thruout league. THE HOLDOVER talent Is pretty well balanced between the two circuits. The National league still has 17, the American 14. Oddly, of the 31 remaining "wartimers," 15 or almost half are pitchers. The St.

Holidays SERVICE AND REPAIR It's Guaranteed' 2-6021 place In any Easter a suit that is good taste that AND STAR BY DICK REID. "They're there, all right, but they just aren't bitin'." So said Ralph Lavigne Saturday while watching his bobber gently drift on the breeze-rippled lake at the Louisville state recreation grounds. And that about told the story. More than 500 Lincoln and Omaha antlers visited Louisville before noon Satur-. day.

Luck wasn't too good at the Capital City's closest fishing waters on the opening day of trout season. Most fishermen lamented the fact that the thousands of stocked fish at Louisville had been distributed only recently. The concensus was that the newly-stocked rainbows and browns were not yet hungry and the few oldtfmcrs were yary because of disturbances on shore. LAVIGNE, a soldier on pass from Offutt Air Force base in Omaha, had a creel that added emphasis his pessimistic-state ment. Altho he had only few nibbles in his tiny protected cove, he is an experienced angler and a native of Vermont "That's where they really hook trout," he remarked.

"It's not unusual for a man to stand in one place on a small stream, use the same fly all day, and catch his limit several times for practice." "Speaking of practice," he grinned, "I'll have to get some before I go to western Nebraska on pass this summer." He pointed to a shiny smker and bobber caught on an overhanging branch EXPERIENCED anglers at the Louisville layout, however, were taking their share. The oldtim-ers were working from narrow, abbreviated reefs near the north shore. Hereseveral trout seemed to be lurking along the edges of the reef, comparatively near surface. Small beef chunks were producing the best results as bait. One of the first Lincoln fishermen to land one was young Norman Schwenk, 6910 Holdrege.

Norman hooked a 10-inch rainbow along the south bank. OAK CREEK LAKE, the only hope of Lincoln anglers for a nearby fishing Spot, was stocked last week by the state game commission. One thousand catfish were placed there. THE BOARD of directors of the Fremont Izaak Walton league has given the green light, to the building pf.aclub house atFre mont's Izaak Walton league. STATE GUN CLUBS aren't letting the springlike weather get far along without several scheduled shoots.

The Beatrice Gun club slates a "beginner's shoot" Sunday. Beginners will be paired with the oldtimers and scores recorded together. Other Sunday shoots are scheduled at Oshkosh and Arapahoe Night shoots will begin at Wahoo Wednesday at 7 p. m. NEBRASKA Atty.
