This morning the knee was badly swollen, and Kuhel was to undergo a surgical examination today in addition to having an X-ray made of the injured Jjoint.

There is power in the war clubs of the Indians, no doubt. They can hit as a club. In their line-up are five or six batters likely to give the ball a great trip at any time. But the Cleveland club, despite the presence of two or three really fleet runners, is slow afoot, miserably slow. Nor does it display any smartness on the paths or in the fleld. Neither Fonseca nor Hodapp, on the right side of the infield, has any speed. The left side of the inner cordon still is in the experimental stage. Manager Peckinpaugh has yet to determine whether the better-hitting Hunnefield should get the call over the better- | flelding Goldman at short, and the third-base business has him puzzled.

East or West, good times or bad, to- morrow’s blue ribbon event of the American turf figured to be just that— a horse race, and perhaps as excitingly close as any Kentucky Derby since the war, Two years ago Clyde Van Dusen, the little mud horse, outrushed the pride of the Blue Grass, Blue Larkspur, and won. Last year, in another downpour, Gallant Fox beat the best the West had to offer. Tomorrow not one, but two crack Eastern thoroughbreds, Mrs. Payne Whitney's Twenty Grand and Albert C. Bostwick's mate, are favored to renew their racing feud in a fight {for the winner's wreath of roses and close to $60,000 in prize money. Fair Weather Likely.

The son of St. Germans-Bonus, coupled with Anchors Aweigh and Surfboard as the Greentree Stable entry, wa: quoted a 5-t0-2 favorite. Mate was second choice at 7 to 2 and strongly backed for the attempt to duplicate th feats of Sir Barton and Gallant Fox in winning both the Derby and Preakness. Equipoise, despite some doubt as to his condition, was rated third in_the wagering, at 4 to 1. The son of Pen- nant has worked well enough to con- vince his trainer that he has a good chance to win, Pittsburgher, carrying much of the ‘Western hopes, developed strong back- ing this week after beating Spanish Play and Sweep All, two other contend- ers, in the Derby trial. The “Big Train" has shown exceptional early speed, eon- vincing his followers he can run in any kind of going, but experts doubt his ability to win at the route. A Colorful Show. The Southern winners are represented by Spanish Play, victor in the Louisi- ana Derby, but Chicago-owned. H. C. Hatch's Boys Howdy won the Cuban Derby. Far Western colors are carried by Up, the colt owned by Mrs. James N. Crofton and winner of the Agua Cal. iente Derby, but Up is strictly & mud horse and rated a doubtful starter, in view of the prospects of good weather. ‘Three straight years of Derby rain came too early for this son of Cloud. The picturesque Downs will be a blaze of color if the sun shines. They will be Jjemmed, too, even if there isn't a rec- ord crowd, for the turf followers have flocked in by boat, motor and train, airplanes, blimps and even autogyro, and there should be plenty of Derby thrills, even with the colors of E.
