LOOM AS lIKE[Y TOBE INFOR DUEL Others Capable of Jolting Dope—Record Throng Is Expected Saturday. B & Btaft Correspondent of The Star. OUISVILLE, Ky. April 30— Other than to establish C. V. Whitney's Today and Warren Wright's crack filly, Nellle Flag. E. Widener’s Chance Sun, and restore 0 standing Jouett Shouse's Weston, little has occurred to alter the focus already drawn on the ulti- mate picture of the field waich will parade postward in the sixty-first run- ning of the Kentucky Derby Saturday. That Today and Nellie Flag will enjoy the roles of favoritism with the greatest crowd ever to see a Kentueky Derby, more than likely the largest ever to attend a horse race in Amer- fca, seems definitely assured after their sparkling performances in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica and the Cherokee Park purse at Churchill Downs. Commonwealth, from the stable of +Mrs. Wa M. Jeffords, or possibly E. R. Bradley’s Boxthorn—the latter con- tingent upon the merit of his final prep—may come along to challenge this honor, but such is hardly likely. * Question Today's Supremacy. ODAY unquestionably is a great | colt, but early advices indicate | that Greentree's Plat Eye, Wil- | liam Woodward's Omaha and Brook- | meade's Peychic Bid are unwilling to admit supremacy and will give the Whitneyite another run for it in the Derby. Nellie Flag scored a convincing victory over six other Western can- didates but only Mrs. R. M. Fair- banks' Bluebeard and Chance Sun had been counted on as possible start- | ers in the classic and their defeats fell far short of eliminating further consideration. Weston regained much of the pres- | tige he had lost early last week with a sparkling trial Saturday and Box- thorn took a step nearer that flnll: okey which “Derby Dick” Thompson demands of his stake candidates with & slow but impressive Derby-route testing. E. D. Shaffer's St. Bernard ducked the issue in the Cherokee Park purse, principally because of conditions, but the bulldog colt is in excellent shape and needs only a brush or two to taper him for the §40,000 chase. dicap. finishing as he did in advance of Fiji, served to keep Mrs. Charles Hainsworth's colt in the running. at | least until further developments prove otherwise. Some Are Eliminated. NE thing last week's activities did do, and that was to elimi- nate definitely some of the les- ser lights such as South Gallant, Ja- waps, Eddie J., Hazy Autumn, in the West, and Good Flavor, Sound Advice, Vicaress and Mantanga in the East. None of these eligibles ever had been taken seriously by the smart set, but their owners had lived in hope that they would show sufficient improve- ment in works or races to gain them & ranking, if only an outside one, in the Derby class. ‘While the top-flight candidates were %going or coming” in trials or races, fluctuations in the Winter books of ‘Tom Kearney of St. Louis and Frank Shannon of New York resembled so many Mexican jumping beans. Shan- non was the first to loosen up on Chance Sun, future favorite for al- most two months, boosting him to 5 to 1. Kennedy then posted 6 and Shannon came back with 8 and fol- lowed closely with 10. Omaha, which ruled the Derby slate as Chance Sun’s odds receded, was on the uphill grade again after his defeat in the Wood. Today and Nellie Flag saw their prices tumble and for some strange reason Boxthorn and Commonwealth took nose dives. Others, hitherto quoted in the select group, saw their odds lengthened, chief among these being Big Gawk, which jumped from 20 to 1 to 80, and Weston, which had been hammered from 200 to 1 to 20, rose steadily to 40.

STRAIGHT OFF THE YEE by PENING field days are getting to be & habit with the local golf clubs. Pollowing closely on the heels of field days at Columbis, Woodmont and Manor comes the Washington Golf and Coun- try Club, which will stage its opening of Summer rules next Sunday. Jim Tracy, golf chairman, will start the boys out on Summer rules on Satur- day, as & warm-up for the fleld day when scores really will count. Washington, like most of the other clubs, has had an influx of new mem- cations to come before the board at its next meeting, and the field day, in addition to being the opening burst of golf competition will also be & welcom- grief and sorrow that comes to every golfer when his game goes sour. Prizes are to go to the low gross and low net scorer. the gent with the most pars, the one who has the fewest putts, the low scorer on six blind holes and the highest score on one blind hole. Tommy Webb, the young man who appeared as if he might go some- where in tournament golf last year before he took a job in Jersey, is back in the city and intends to stay here. He has had a couple of rounds of 72 and 73 and will be up there next Sun- day bidding for the gross prize against the Roesch and Albertus lads, who have been giving the Washington course a going-over during the last F THERE is one spot in golf where true democracy reigns it is the | public links. Down at East Poto- mac Park today & mixed assortment of clerks, taxi drivers, beer barrel slingers and school boys were battling in the opening rounds of the “open” the curtain-raiser for the down-river course competitive season. Harold Bowers, a clerk at Rock Creek Park, the same lad who sleeps at the club house at the uptown park to enable him to be on the job when | the golf course opens about sun-up each morning, is the hot shot in the East Potomac Park tourney and the lad the boys are gunning for, after his medal-winning 68 yesterday, when he turned in one of the finest scores ever recorded in competition on the public courses. Bowers and Claude Rippy are in | opposite halves of the draw and it W. R. MECALLUM it they met tomorrow afternoon for the title. Bowers met Harry Yates in the opening round today, while Rippy clashed with George Donovan. ‘Two lads whom must be figured in the running are Barney Welsh, who pilots & taxi around Washington streets, and who shot & 73 yesterday, and George Malloy, a first-class slinger of beer barrels. George won the munieipal title back in 1933. Congressional women are to have & buffet breakfast tomorrow to raise money for the women's golf fund. The women are planning sn extensive series of tournaments under the chairmanship of Mrs. Ralph W. Payne. ACK on his game after the usual Spring seige of uncertalnty, Al Houghton promises to be a tough customer for the pros of the Middle Atlantic sector for the balance of the budding season. Al has gotten himself a new putter and a lot of confidence, after the customary Spring interlude of misery. He always has a couple of bad weeks in the Spring and Fall, but when he hits his stride, there isn't a golfer around Washington who can take him regularly. He appeared as if he had hit his stride yesterday as he crashed the ball around the lengthy Beaver Dam course in 73 strokes to win the professional sweepstakes tourney by & three-stroke margin, with Bob Bar- nett of Chevy Chase and CIliff Spencer of Beaver Dam that far back at 76 while Roland MacKensie, winner of tour sweepstakes tourneys, took 78. But the local lads took a setback in the afternoon when Mrs. Harry C. ‘Trace and John Flattery of Rogers Forge, Baltimore, grabbed the pro- women's sweepstakes with a card of 82. The tourney was of the Scotch foursome variety, with alternate tee thots. Miss Ellen Kincaid and Cliff Spencer finished a shot behind the winners with 83, while Mr. and Mrs. Leo Walper of Kenwood scored 84. OLUMBIA COUNTRY CLUB'S second women's golf team still leads the procession in the minor league of women's team affairs. Although the Columbia women lost yesterday to Beaver Dam by an 8-to-4 margin in matches played at Wood- mont, the leaders had enough margin to maintain their position at the top with 47 points, one-half point in front of the fast-traveling Army-Navy out- fit, which trimmed Manor by 9 to 3. Chevy Chase licked Indian Spring 12 to 0, while Kenwood won from Congressional 1715 to 4'%. Pirst women's teams were meeting today at Kenwood. GOLF VETS HOPE Hagen Agrees With Armour Youth May Not Prevail in 1935 Open. By the Associated Press. ETROIT, April 30.—Walter Hagen, admitting that “youth must be served eventually,” isn't willing to do any of the serving just yet, he said optimistically today as he began & training for the national open golf championships this June at Oakmont, Pa. “The Haig,” holder of about 50 championships in 23 years of links competition, sees a chance for one of the “old guard” to win the open crown because of the “trickiness” of Oakmont's traps and general layout. “It remains to be seen whether the younger stars in the game today have built their games around one certain course or have developed games good enough for any course, and partic- ularly one as tricky as Oakmont,” Hagen said. “I agree with Tommy Armour that Oakmont gives the older and more experienced golfer a chance to win.” Hagen believes that Henry Picard and Ky Laffoon are the two most im- proved players “in the younger crop of stars” now in the professional field. Picard, he said, has a fine variety of shots and is a “sound hitter” and has | a good chance of winning the open title, Wishing for Hot Weather. Hagen is hoping hot weather will visit Detroit soon. Admitting the long Winter “gold trail” tour left him somewhat tired, he said he belleved warm weather, and dally rounds, would put him back in shape. He in- tends to play a number of courses here, get plenty of fresh air and rest and concentrate on his game in the hope of qualifying for the open event. It will be the first time “in years,” he said, that he has had to qualify instead of being automatically eligible. “When you get older you lose con- sistency,” Hagen said. “The younger stars have the edge because of con- dition. The older you get the more you lose a certain touch necessary to win consistently. But I believe I have s fair chance to qualify for and win the open this Summer.” Hagen, all previous reports to the contrary, isn't planning to retire from competitive golf for a while yet. “I want to win another champion- ship before I pass out of the picture,” he says.

OLF'S annual tournament jamboree, otherwise kmown as the feast of favorites or the peregrinations of the Pitts and Peacocks, will get under way one week from today with the initial big joust of the club invitation season scheduled to start over the short and tricky Woodmont Country Club course. Woodmont's first inivitation affair in four years will find another big silver mug being put in competition for the first time, for the affair next week will have as its main objective the Woodmont trophy, a big chunk of silver, to remain permanently the property of the club, with a replica going to the winner. Out of the tour- nament picture since 1931, Wood- mont’s tournament will draw a banner .| field which will include those peren- nial rivals—Harry G. Pitt and Roger | fication round. Peacock; Dick Lunn, who made his first bid for golf fame in the Wood- mont event of 1931, and all the other tournament golfers who burst forth, like the dogwood, with a blaze of glory in the Spring.

A couple of days ago he clocked the nine-hole course in 35 strokes. even par, and Sunday he three-putted the eighteenth for a 76.
