OUISVILLE, Ky., May 16.—The Kentucky Derby of Saturday aft- ernoon may be a practical walk- over for E. R. Bradley'’s Blue Larkspur, as Emil Herz and other annoy the great Blue Larkspur, even al- lowing for the improvement, of the track and the ease of their respective accom- plishments. Karl Eitel, main reliance of the Chicago King of the Baths since Rougish Eye went amiss, showed the best form &nd most promise of any 3- year-old that has worked or trained at Churchill Downs or environs all Spring. Karl Eitel Works in 2:09 2-5. Over a slow track Karl Eitel, reported to have his stake weight up, worked the Derby route of a mile and a quar- ter in 2:09 2-5, well within himself all the way.

But the son of Black Servant and Blossom Time will have to show his foot and stamina for the rich award, for it now appears that at least a score of 3-year-olds will an- swer the bugle for America's outstand- ing thoroughbred contest. Blue Larkspur has little to fear from the East. There is little or nothing back there that would have a chance Wills is working her way toward an encounter whose elements of grim contest will be out of keeping with the grace and charm of the principals involved. The reference is to that agile and accomplished Span- ish girl, Senorita de Alvarez, who for two years has been a closer rival of the American girl than most Amer- icans realize. And it is the firm belief of those Eastern who follow European tennis closely that when the two girls meet at ‘Wimbledon next month—as they al- most surely will—Miss Wills will have ;:) be right on top of her game to beat er. Indeed prospects of the meeting be- tween the American and the Spaniard * have already begun to arouse some such interest abroad as the famous meet- ing at Cannes several years ago be- !tween Miss Wills and Suzanne Leng- en. ‘Two years ago in the final of the women’s championship at Wimbledon, Helen Wills and the Spanish girl had a battle in which the score, 6—2, 6—4, in favor of the Californian, did not in any way reflect the bitterness of the encounter. At the time it was the opinion of qualified observers that both girls had passed the peak of Mlle. Lenglen’s best game. This was say- ing a great deal: nonetheless it was said with emphasis. Last year the rivals again met at ‘Wimbledon, and while the fair Helen won the first set, 6—2, and the second, 6—3, an analysis of that match shows that the winner had to fight for every game and that the senorita throughout kept her opponent on the defense. Every shot of hers called for the most skilled play and the counter stroke had to be made not only with precision, but with sufficlent force to counteract the menace which Alvarez had been build- ing up. It is said that no player other than Miss Wills could have withstood that attack. She had difficulty in winning even the games in which she served, powerful as her serve is, and, by the way, the Spanish player's serve has pretty nearly the same ferocity. In the second set the senorita’s furious play won her three games, and then she cracked and Helen ran out the next six games and the match. But it is an open question whether the col- lapse of De Alvarez's energy was not due to a cold, which had forced her to request a day's delay in playing the final match so that she ht burn it out. There can be no question that in that final set Miss Wills had a distinct advantage in condition. So, all in all, there is likely to be an Amazonian spectacle at Wimbledon when and if the two girls come to- gether, and England already is setting herself in expectancy. And why not? ‘Tennis aside, this prospective meeting, in its human aspects, holds much of thrill. Nordic against Latin. The Cali- fornian, sturdily built, her clear blue eyes and fair hair, facing a dark flash of a girl whose hair gleams with black- ness of a raven’s wing, eyes black as sloes. Helen unemotional, reserved; the Spanish girl vivid with the anima- tion of her race. Personality is the underlying element that makes sport ‘what it is. Perfect Timing Versus Pressing HITTING Tgo ARL BY SOL METZGER. Most people play golf like nervous people catch trains—they get there too early. Pressing results. Were you to follow Bobby Jones during many ‘rounds you would soon learn %& he never hurries or presses his Pressing is not hitting too hard. It’s hitting too soon. There's a vast difference. Star golfers smack a tee shot with all they have. Every ounce goes into the blow. But they do not press. Every ounce of power may be applied through proper timing. Take Harry Cooper. He holds back his power during the downswing by keeping his wrists cocked until his hands "are about in front of his right leg. Then he puts on aZ he has, Pressing is another matter. It con- cerns itself with hitting too soon. ‘The result—your hands or body or both get ahead of the clubhead and the shot is dubbed. RAWSON IS MEET REFEREE.

NO MAN 0" WAR GET HAS TAKEN DERBY His Son, Clyde Van Dusen, Is Certain to Be Closely Watched Saturday. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. AN O' WAR not only was & king of the turf, but he also has founded a great dynasty. Wherever game and beautiful thoroughbreds run in the United States his sons and daughters may be seen and they always are due to attract more than passing attention. Through their veins courses the blood of the mighty. Speed and courage is their heritage. ‘This being true, it seems strange that neither Man o’ War nor any of his line ever figured strongly in the running of the Kentucky Derby. Man o’ War never ran at Churchill Do ‘When he won the Preakness in 1920, he was not sent to Louisville, because it was preferred to save him for the Belmont Stakes, which he also won. ‘The Kentucky Derby has grown to be a national event. It attracts more at- tention from the general public than any other race, yet horse owners and trainers sometimes prefer the Belmont, partly because it is a richer stake and partly because, being run at a mile and & half, they consider that it more nearly approximates the English Derby. Walter J. Salmon's speedy Dr. Freeland, the Preakness winner, is being saved for the Belmont this season. Crusader, consid- ered by many as Man o’ War's greatest offspring, and now retired, was saved to win the Belmont in 1926. “The best known of the strong sons of Man o' War to start in the Derby was Scapa Flow, thought by some to be even a better horse that Crusader. Scapa Flow, later to drop dead on a race track, went lame and was badly beaten. It, therefore, is sure that, in this fifty-fifth running of the Louisville classic, on Saturday, a Man o’ War de- scendant, appearing to have a chance, will be closely watched. This is Clyde Van Dusen, owned by H. P. Gardner. Van Dusen is second choice in the Win- ter books and undoubtedly will gain a following at the track. Just why a son of Man o' War, owned by a man from Amsterdam, N. Y., should be rated as a Western horse is a bit confusing to those who do not know that horses are generally consid- ered as of the district, where they have done most of their racing.
