Golfers Hope for 6th Straight Win STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE WA[KEWPLAY HORSE FARMSLURE - TO EARL OF DERBY Uncle Luther Rated Formi-! dable if Downs Track Is Muddy Saturday. By the Associated Press. OUISVILLE, Ky, May 14— Non-professional interest in the Kentucky Derby center- ed today at Lexington, 80 miles east of here, where residents of the Blue Grass section awaited arrival of the Earl of Derby, who will inspect famed thoroughbred nurseries there before coming to Churchill Downs, where he will present the gold plate to the own- er of the winner of Kentucky's great race Saturday. ‘The earl will spend two days at Elm- dorf farm, the famous show place of Joseph E. Widener of New York, his - host while he is in America. The Eng- lish nobleman left Washington yester- day in Mr. Widener's private railroad car, and was expected to arrive in Lex- ington this morning. After visiting ' the many breeding farms in Fayette County, where more than 50 per cent of all thoroughbreds racing on American tracks are bred, the earl and his party will go to Versailles y to be the guests of former State Senator Johnson N. Camden, who has two thoroughbreds eligible for this year's derby—Sydney, one of the favorites, and Ladrone. Friday afternoon the party will motor to Louisville and be guests of Matt J. Winn, president of the Ameri- can Turf{ Association and executive di- rector of Churchill Downs. Inclose Box for the Earl. Derby day weather, rain or shine, will mean little to the earl as far as his 1 comfort is concerned. A spe- cial inclosure has been erected from which his party will witness the derby, with glass on all sides so that he may view the crowd or the infleld as he wishes, and a roof to ward off possible showers. A special “presidential suite” has been arranged at the Seelbach Hotel here for the use of Mrs. Woodrow Wil- son, widow of the former President, who will attend the Derby as the guest of Jouett Shouse, chairman of the na- tional executive committee of the Dem- ocratic party, and Mrs. Shouse. John F. Curry, leader of Tammany Hall, and other New York Democratic leaders al- ready are in Louisville getting a line on the various Derby candidates. Mr. Curry is convinced that Gallant Fox. witiner of the Preakness, at Pimlico, last i will capture the Kentucky classic Professional interest in the Derby concerned itself today with the result of the Derby trial yesterday in which Uncle Luther splashed his way in ahead cf a fleld of six other Derby eligibles in a e dash. Uncle Luther, owned by Luf Stivers of Lexington, paid bet- ter than 5 to 1 in the mutuels and laced himself in the forefront of the candidates, especially if Saturday id be a rainy dl:yt'.hme gerby trial yesterday was run e mud. Ned O, owned by G. W. Foreman, and Dark Entry, carrying the colors of Hal Price Headley, were second and in the race. Ned O was a length a_half behind Uncle Luther, with Entry a'full eight lengths farther back, closely pre by Broadway Three D's Stable's derby hope. | S Limited, which sold for $66,000 as a yearling at | the Saratoga sales. ‘Workouts Due Today.

CAGLE IS NOT HURT BY ROMANTIC STEP NEW YORK, May 14 (C.P.A).—Why Red Cagle wanted to resign from the Army to accept from college and com- mercial sources a much larger income than he would have received as second leutenant, has been dramatically, also yomantically, explained by the discovery that for two years Cagle has been a married man. 80 now, within less than a month of the day he would have received his com- mission as an officer in the United States Army, he has been forced to re- sign from the service and retire to private life as, under the Academy reg- ulnmu. no cadet may marry prior to graduation. Since, as the saying goes, “all the world loves a lover,” Cagle probably will Jose none of the affection and admira- tion which he long ago won from the general public. He married his child- hood sweetheart and therein lies a story as pretty, as full of heart interest, as any love story one might read in the fictlon magazines or in history. When that occurs sentiment ' inevitably re- sponds. SANDE ANXIOUS TO RIDE THIRD VICTOR IN DERBY | LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 14 (CP.A)— | Earl Sande, America’s premier jockey, hopes to achieve an ambition of long standing Saturday when he rides Gal- | clusion of the tourney by Mrs. Frank ' lant Fox to the post in the fifty-sixth renewal of the Kentucky Derby.

Chairman Fred D, Paxton of the club golf committee has announced that after considerable discussion, the com- mittee will rule out of future events any man who defaults a tournament match unless good and sufficient reason is forthcoming. This means, Paxton says, that a man who defaults a match in the club golf tournament must have a good reason or he will be out ot the next tournament. Paxton and the members of his com- mittee maintain that a tournament de- fault is one of the most unfair acts a golfer can perpetrate. He points out that out of 350 odd players in the re- cent invitation tournament of the club, only 96 were able to qualify. Scores of others would like to have been in the event, he adds, but could not qualify, and the men who defaulted in the sub- sequent match-play rounds were grossly unfair to those who did not qualify. ‘The Chevy Cnase Club, where the third big invitat'on tourney of the sea- son started today, has had a stringent rule along this line for several years— and enforces it. This rule says: “The tournament committee reserves the right to debar from participation in future club events any entrant who qualifies, permits his rame to be placed in the pairings, and who subsequently defaults, unless the reasons for such default are acceptable to the commit- T. C. Montgomery of Washington is a modest fellow, who feels that even the peak of golfing skill—a hole in one is worth only passing notice. Not until today did the yarn of how Mont- gomery made an ace on the second hole at Washington leak out, and then only in casual conversation between two of the members of the game in which the ace was made. Montgomery played his tee shot on the second hole with a jigger, and the ball hit short of the green and ran into the hole. ‘With him were Dale Drain, Byron U. Graham and J. E. Rice. ‘Washington Club members will pay increased dues, beginning in July. The board of governors of the Virginia Club, faced with a mounting annual deficit in certain portions of the club income, put on a party for the members at the club house last night and between watching themselves in the movies tak<n at tour- nament time by Rudolph T. Harrell, listening to the warbling of one of the club quartets and hearing Ralph Fowler in a dramatization of one of Chic Sale's masterpleces (the same one) the more than 200 members present voted unani- mously to increase the annual dues from $80 to $100, beginning with the third quarter of the year. Announccment was made of the re- election of six members of the board of governors, as follows: Charles H. Do- ing, jr., president of the club: Dr. James T. McClenahan, Ernest J. Swift, Frank Upman.

Only one shot away was Mrs. Ora Emge of the B:aver Dam Club, whose total of 160 was low until early in the afternoon of the final day of play, when Mrs. Rhyne, a late starter, came to the eighteenth to secure a 6 to win by a single stroke. Mrs. Rhyne, who is one of the leading ‘women golfers of the Bannockburn Club, played what she described as “my very best game” to secure the 91 she needed on the final round to win the trophy. Her scores for the two rounds were 100 and 91, a total of 191, with a two-day nandicap of 32, which gave her a net of 159. Mrs. Emge's scores were 93—97 —30—160. Low gross honors went to Mrs. John N. Hodges of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, who turned in consistent rounds of 87 and 82 to win the gross prize, and finish fourth in the net competition. Mrs. Hodges won the tourney last year at Chevy Chase, and her 82 yesterday was the best score made in the two days of play.

By the Associated Press. ANDWICH, England, May 14. —Hoping for their sixth- straight victory in the team series, Bobby Jones’ Ameri- can Walker Cup golf team begins a two-day battle with Britain’s picked amateurs on the Royal St. George’s course tomorrow. Great Britain never has beaten the United States in Walker Cup competition, inaugurated in 1922, but the Britons’ chances this year are considered much brighter than they were, for instance, in 1928, when the competition was last played. The series consists of four two-ball foursomes and eight singles matches. The foursomes will be played tomorrow and the singles on Friday. Jones has made the following pair- ings for the foursomes: George Von Elm and George Voigt. Donald K. Mos and Roland Mac- Kenzie, Robert T. Jones, jr, and Dr. O. F. Willing. Harrison R. Johnston and Francis Ouimet. It is expected that Sir Ernest Holder- ness and J. A. Stout will pair and that the other British combinations will be William Campbell and J. A. Lang; Robert Harris and T. A. Terrance, Roger Wethered and Cyril J, H. Tolley. Yanks Practicing Steadily. The Americans have been practicing here steadily since Sunday and have found the course plentifully supplied. with pitfalls for the unwary. Jon has declined to make any predictions as to the outcome of the match, other than that he thinks it will be close. For the singles, all the Americans will have to play but Great Britain may use Rex Hartley, who beat Dr. Willing for the St. George's vase on Sunday, and J. N. Smith in place of two of the foursome players. The first international match between the United States and Great ‘Britain was played in 1921 at Hoylake, the Americans winning 9 points to 3."

In 1923 at St. Andrews, the United States won 61, to 5. At Garden City, N.

The 1928 matches were played at Wheaton, Ills., and the invaders won only one match as the American team swept through to an 11-1 triumph, the most decisive of the series. Each match counts a point.
