35000 WIL SEE PIMLICO BLASSIG Garner and Byrns Among "Patrons—Nellie Flag’s Owner Hopeful. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. ALTIMORE, May 10.—Once again the racing clans are gathering, this time at his- toric Pimlico for the forty- fifth running of the Preakness. But unlike a week ago at Churchill Downs, when a strapping filly, Nellie Flag, was the “hot tip” on every corner, they are lauding Omaha, the stretch- running son of Gallant Fox from Wil- liam Woodward’s Belair Stud, which showed a muddy pair of heels to the turf’s greatest in the Kentucky Derby. Barring an unfavorable turn in the weather, some 35,000 fans are expect- ed to pack the rambling old hilltop course on the outskirts of this city for the $25,000 3-year-old stakes, first ‘won by the horse from which the race got its name. Vice President John Nance Garner and Speaker of the House Joseph E. Byrns are expected to head the large delegation of Gov- ernment officials from the Nation’s Capital, while Harry W. Nice will view his first Preakness as Governor of the State of Maryland. But from the lowly stable lackey to men and women high in political and social life came the same words— Omaha is the horse to beat. Here and there, however, were a few owners and trainers still confident that in their barns they had a horse capable of whipping the Belair flash. As the result of their opinions some 12 thor- oughbreds, five of which trailed Omaha home in the Derby, are ex- pected to answer the call to boots and saddles at about 5:15 p.m. (Eastern standard time). Omaha After Record. ELLIE FLAG, with her youthful owner, Warren Wright, holding to the belief that she would have proved a stronger contender at the Downs but for early interference, heads the beaten Derby delegation. And the robust daughter of Nellle Morse prob- ably will not lack backing either, for over this same oval her mother won the 1924 running of the Preakness, A victory for Omaha also would write a new page in the annals of the famous race, for no sire and son ever ‘won both the Preakness and the Derby. For that matter only three horses ever took both events. Sir Barton completed the double in 1919. Gallant Fox turned the trick in 1930 and two years later Burgo King won both races. ‘The four other horses which will get another chance at Omaha are Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Psychic Bid, Mrs. W. S. Kilmer’s Sun Fairplay, E. R. Bradley's Boxthorn and Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords’ Commonwealth. The entry of Psychic Bid came somewhat as a surprise as the colt’s showing in the Derby was so dismal that Trainer Bob Smith orig- inally decided to withhold him from the rich Belmont Park stakes. Black Helen Out of It. E CAME out of the derby in fine shape,” said the veteran trainer, “and his workouts this week at Belmont have indicated he has not yet run his race. I look for him to make a much better showing in the Preakness with the distance one-sixteenth of a mile shorter and the field smaller.” It was first thought that Black Helen, diminutive winner of the Flor- ida Derby, would accompany Box- thorn to the post but upon the arrival of the latter on the scene of the battle yesterday Trainer Bill Hurley an- * nounced Boxthorn would be the Ken- tucky sportsman’s lone representative. Don Meade, the stable’s first string rider, will not be in the saddle, how- ever, as the State Racing Commission has ruled that the five-day suspension given him in Kentucky also holds good in Maryland. In his place will be Raymond (Sonny) Workman, C. V. ‘Whitney’s No. 1 jockey. Commonwealth also is expected to rally strong support but nmot so much on what he has shown as on the ability of his running mate, Walter M. Jef- ford's Firethorn. The latter turned in a fine effort in winning his 3-year-old debut early this week and as the result is well liked by his stable connections. Also listed among the probable starters are W. A. Jones’ Furiber, Dewitt Page’s Mantagna, Mrs. C. S. Bromley's Bran- non and Breckinridge Long’s Legume. SELE RS B 14 COLONIALS’ STREAK Wake Forest Scores 13 Tallies in First Three Innings to ‘Win by 14 to 5. EORGE WASHINGTON'S base ball team today was looking to its game Monday with Delaware at Grifith Stadium as a starter on another win streak. Wake Forest's Deacons yesterday stopped cold a Co- lonial string which had reached four straight, drubbing G. W. 14-5. ‘Wake Forest put the game in the well-known bag in the first three in- nings, during which it piled up 13 of its runs. Six came in the opening frame, when Bill Traver, starting Colonial pitcher, was blasted from the hill. Vince De Angelis, rushed to ‘Tarver’s rescue before the first inning ‘was over, fared little better the next two frames, but in the fourth settled down and pitched well the remainder of the way. ) | ::ce:s:a:-a-u::? > LA o S Sheuoner WSl g nu:uu»u»oua~‘~nu cansizanssad wossussmos?

PHILLIPS, JR. NE of those excellent digres- (O sions from the rule, so re- freshing in any spart, crop- ped up yesterday at the Na- tional Capital's opening day, when Mrs. R. Curzon Hoffman's one-horse stable showed the way to the high and mighty in practically every class wherein her Allston tangled with the horses from the large and expensive strings. Mrs. Hoffman, who has been hunt- ing all her life over in Green Spring Valley, does her own riding, flying at the fences as if they were so much straw, her finished horsemanship a spectacle not to be forgotten by those who dote on the theory that amateurs and owners should ride their own horses in the ring. And insist a real, honest hunting horse is vastly more interesting than all the beautiful stuffed seals nursed and pampered only for exhibition. Mrs. Hoffman says she hunts Alls- ton, & son of the famous Irish steeple- chase sire Seventy Five, about three times a week. Still he was not too rough or drawn yesterday to miss cleaning up one conformation class, placing second in another, and trot off with two working hunter blues. N GENERAL, the National Capital this year is far superior to any previous session. There is a rep- resentative delegation of the ring pea- cocks on the ground, the working hunters, usually handled by someone you know and always pleasant to watch if you've hunted with some of the horses got more attention than ever before. The open jumpers also are top-notch sort, including the $1,000 stake winner Squire, Betty Couzens’ Bean Beetle, which mopped up two tough divisions yesterday, Apple Jack, Wise, Hunger Marcher and- the other better known high fliers. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, About the only thing short of per- fect in the first 15 classes, in fact, some working hunter classes. We do not know just what genius thought up the scheme of sending over an inside course. cross-country horses, to be judged solely for manners, way of going and performance. A very clever paradox it was, how- ever. These were meant to be the animals capable of giving you a good hunt, so they were asked to prove it by chasing around in & circle, over four identical jumps of a sort they never see in the hunting fleld. Mean- while the outside course lies idle. It, of course, approximated hunting jumps and offers an opportunty for & horse to go on at a real pace.. HE highly touted Whitney-Gug- genheim show ring feud wasn't much on opening day. Mrs. Whit- aey snagged two blues, one with a prom- ising young gray horse named Jericho that beat a large field of novices, the other with Bon Diable, which we al- ways have maintained was her best horse. Mrs. Guggenheim wasn't in the swim until the last class, won by the one-time Swedish horse, Firenze Marokan. The spill list likewise was fairly in- consequential. Margaret Cotter and Evelyn Walker, two of our best girl riders, topped it off; Mrs. Guggenheim was jumped off Firenze Judge in the modified Olympia, and Miss Walker's groom took two headers in quick suc- cession from Easter Sunday, which later brought Mile. Evie down, too. Nobody was hurt very much. Ernest Redmon has been a leader among the young stock fanciers for so long that no one was especially sur- prised by the double victory scored by his Sherwood yesterday morning. That’s a horse to watch. 8o is Repul- sion, Margo Chewning's new young- ster, the second best 3-year-old now at Bradley Farms. Y4 ‘ by W. WO of the great disagree-ers of | golf today are in complete! agreement on at least one| phase of the ancient Scottish | game. Gene Sarazen, tubby little gentle- man farmer from Connecticut, and Tommy Armour lean-faced Scot from Edinburgh, have spilled thousands of words of snarls and hisses at each other over the years, but now——. “Hit the ball with your hands” said Tommy many years ago. He always has stuck to hic theory that as the hands go, so coes the clubhead and consequently the ball. And now Gene, who always has| been a tacit believer in the same thing (but hasn't publicly expounded it) says the same thing. “Ninety-five per cent of the hitting of the golf ball is done with the hands,” Gene said between vicious whacks at a ball at a local depart- ment store show, which drew hun- dreds to see the little Italian-Ameri- can demonstrate the shots and grips which have made him famous over | the world. “If you don't grip the club correctly you cannot expect to hit it right, or to get it into hitting position. That is what I mean by hitting with the hands. And then after you learn to hit the ball with your hands and you have attained some degree of mastery of all the long-hitting clubs you will find that the putter is the most im- portant club in your bag.” Gene admitted that if he hadn't taken over the interlocking grip as a caddie around New York 18 years ago he now would be a user of the over- lap, as originated by Harry Vardon. “I didn't start right,” he said, “but I have managed to get along with it and I can't change now.” He said there have been three great golfers of three eras. “Vardon dominated his era, Hagen was the master of his time, and then along came that fellow from Atlanta— Bobby Jones—to dominate the game for 10 years.” He showed the major differences between the putting strokes of Jones and Hagen and disclosed that he personally liked the Hagen method of bringing the club-head back along the ground. And then Gene stepped into .an artificial trap and showed how he makes the bunker shots thxt have brought him fame. “We don't fear the bmkers any more,” he sald. “No more do we figure on three strokes to get down | from a trap alongside the green. We figure on getting it out and holing the putt.” . “How about Oakmont?” we asked Gene. “Well, the game has improved about a shot & round since the last tournament there in 1927. If the course was the same, I should say the boys might get as low as 295. But I deo’t think they will. They have made a terror out of that golf course. You ought to see the fourth hole. (And Gene shook his head and shuddered) Boy, oh, boy, what a golf course.” AR be it from us to attempt to prognosticate what may happen | oo most uncertain | J in golf—the sport of them all—but if the hopes and wishes of a lot of Capital golf- nuts come true today, the afternoon will find a rubber meeting of Harry G. Pitt, the old Manor Moose, an aging veteran of the game at the age of 31; and youthful,” confident Roger Peacock, already a tried and true performer at 24 years. It might happen in the Woodmont Country Club tourna- ment today and then again it might not, for Peacock clashed with red- hot Volney Burnett in a semi-final matth today, while Pitt met Hick- man Green, the Louisiansa terror, who has all the pertinacity and all the PIMLICO RACES Apfll 29 !o D&,II lu. vm AR Admission (including tax)......$1.65 [} final round of that|on STRAIGHT OFF THE VEE R.MECALLUM | graces of a Senator from his own State. If performance means anything Pitt and Peacock should meet, but lots of slips can come in such an uncer- tain game of golf, and neither Bur~ nett nor Green is any man's push- over. For example, Burnett, the scrapping fireman, did himself a 34 on the first nine to trounce Claude Rippy, public parks ace, while Peacock was | slipping over the same nine in 33| | to hand Sam Rice, the old ball player, | an artistic lacing. Pitt, meanwhile, [ was carving out a 5-and-4 victory |over W. F. Haves, while Green, (locked in a life-and-death struggle with Eddie Bean, the Beaver Dam | champ, finally won on the 17th green. ‘The best scoring of the two rounds of the day came from Burnett and Peacock, who clashed in the semi- | final today, but dependable Harry Pitt was no slouch. Harry still has the ability to make a winning shot when he needs it most. If they reach the final round today —Pitt and Peacock—the fur will fly 28 it always has flown when this pair of links wildcats hook up. NTRIES for the Chevy Chase tournament next week will close | with the club Golf Committee tomorrow night, and Chairman Robert Stead, jr., anticipates a field of more than 250 of the better golfers of this sector in the event for the Taft and Sherman trophies. A course groomed |to immaculate condition, granted no more heavy rains fall, will greet the contenders for the cup won last year by Gene Vinson of Mississippi. Vin- son himself probably will not be around to defend. With some three-score entries al- |ready to hand, a fleld of nearly 100 woman golfers will start play Monday in the tourney for the Post trophy, a bhandicap match play event. The entries are being filed with Mrs. Roy C. Miller. HILLTOPPERS LOOK TO GAME WITH NAVY Play Middy Ball Team Tomorrow at Annapolis—Drop Decision toW.and L, 5to 7. EORGETOWN'S base ball team, 7-5 victim of Washington and Lee yesterday, today was getting set for its game with Navy tomorrow at_Annapolis. The Hoyas gained a 3-0 lead over the Generals in the first inning, but the Lexington boys shoved across five markers in the fifth inning, and then after G. U. had tled the score at 5-5 in the sixth, came back to push across two more in the ninth. Ed Hargaden pitched seven-hit ball for the Hoyas, but mediocre support proved his undoing. Joe Perrine suf- fered an injured shoulder which may keep him out some time. > Orrmmom ol PO b o ool [P ——t EXPICESENer-t. ) mozomssNos® Totals.37 927 3 - 990 500 003—7 300 101 000—b6 Tier. Howerton.

BY H. C. BYRD. HE word idleness will not be applicable in any sense to local college athletes today and to- morrow. The young men who ‘wear the colors of Georgetown, Mary- land, American University and Gal- laudet are going to have plenty to hold their attention in the competi- tion scheduled in various sports in different sectors of the South Atlantic section. ‘Take Georgetown, for instance. Its base ball team goes to Annapolis to hook up with Navy in a game the local school would like very much to win; its tennis team will be at Mor- gantown to play West Virginia Uni- versity, and its track squad meets University of Richmond at Richmond. And for neither of the Blue and Gray squads is there likely to be an easy afternoon. Maryland has all four of its Spring teams in action, with the ball team meeting Washington and Lee today, its lacrosse ten playing Navy tomor- row in what is pretty sure to be one of the biggest games ot the year in that sport, and the tennis and track teams at Williamsburg, Va., for con- tests with Willlam and Mary. ‘George Washington entertains Dela- ware University in a tennis match this afternoon, while the town net players are at University of Pitts- burgh. Today American University engages Gallaudet in a dual track meet and tomorrow plays Randolph- Macon at tennis. Gallaudet, after its track meet with Gallaudet this after- noon, is scheduled for another meet tomorrow with Washington College at | Chestertown. Besides these varsity contests, Georgetown and Maryland freshman teams also have several games, the first year men of both schools being due to take the field in diamond and court competition. (OACH EPPLEY of Maryland is of the opinion that Little of Wil- liam and Mary is the most versatile and most valuable track ath- lete in the East in a dual meet, per- haps in the country. In at least four events Little stands almost an even chance for victory in the majority of meets—the two dashes, the broad | jump and javelin. And he is pretty good in some other contests if he | elects to take part. He generally is the high scorer in every meet in which he is an entrant. Eppley says of his dual meet with William and Mary to- | morrow: “Take Little out of the meet, and there would not be anything to it, but with him in, we're going to have a hard time winning. He's almost a track team himself.” Hargaden of Georgetown is a far better pitcher than his record at the end of the season is likely to show. Cool and easy on the slab, he works his game as if he knows jsut what he is doing and why. He is not easy to hit, and very seldom is wild. With & consistently good fielding team be- hind him, Hargaden would be un- usually successful. HE Johns Hopkins lacrosse team does not seem to be as strong this year as in recent seasons. ‘The whole Hopkins athletic situation is a problem of rebuilding, and, under good conditions, it may be that this process of rebuilding will be much faster than anybody now would regard as possible. Actually, there is a great opportunity for Hopkins to develop its athletics from an intercollegiate viewpoint, and some time it will do so to an extent that will surprise even its own people. That is, unless the university were to decide to adopt virtually a graduate system of edu- cation and depart from its policy of the last two decades of building up its undergraduate work. Pitcher Rogers of Virginia is re- garded as the best slabman in the Scuthern Conference, notwithstand- ing Duke has one said to be slated to go to the big leagues immediately after he graduates. Rogers’ Ilatest feat was blanking Navy, 1 to 0, last ‘Wednesday, a game in which he struck out eight of the first nine men to face him. ‘ORWOOD SOTHORON, in wind- ing up his athletic career at the University of Maryland carries with him one distinction that will be hard for any man ever to surpass, that of not only having a fine competitive spirit but also & sense of loyglty and a disposition that few men possess. Sothoron’s attitude in foot ball, in base ball, in lacrosse, in basket ball, in all of which he won varsity letters, always was about as perfect as any coach could desire. Every man who has had contact with him, either as coach, as teammate or as opponent, has only the highest praise for him. THIS COACH IS A JOKE.
