May 11.—-An air of Mexico has been waited in this [Mon to Kentucky owners of Id’by oligibles. by recent advices of )ousidered shrewd observers that esstren eligibles are “not so much." One recent arrival from Baltimore. one has witnessed the performances by all the easterncrs. contends that ey impress one as lacking in sta- mina: that most of the berated east- ern contenders are or a sprinting type and will be found wanting when put to a. severe test over the mile- Ind-a-quarter distance on May to. The newcomers from Baltimore in- bline to believe that R. T. Wilson Jr.'s Wilderness was the premier in the eastern three-year-old division. They also express a doubt of his starting in the race on account of showing symptoms or lameness. Trainer '1‘. J. Keely is too good a horseman to send a lame horse here to give battle to the best colts in the land. 80, in the event. that Wilderness has really gone amiss. he can be considered out of the Derby. Aside from reports that the east- ern colts seem to fancy sprint disc tancee westerners have added conti- dence in their ability to repel the eastern invaders through the splendid performances of Bo McMillan in the Blue Grass Stakes. which the Pren- dergast colt annexed the closing day 0! the Lexington meeting. He triumphed over some highly re- garded Derby timber in the race over a muddy track. and. as he had also won in hollow fashion on a fast track from the best that could be mustered he must he accepted as the most tormidahle here. His detest by Nas- nu in his initinl essay is not held against him. He was given a weird ride on that occasion. Bo McMillan ls western owned in every sense. He mos in the colors of T. J. Pernder- gast. political boss of Kansas Ciity. Idr. Prendcrgast, however. races his horses exclusively on Kentucky tracks. except fix the hriet period that he sojourns at Saratoga. A. Kentucky-owned horse that is gaining steady friends through im- pressive trials is Carl Weldeman's In Memoriam. lie covered a mile and a quarter last Sunday in 2.0! 1-6, the fastrst that any three year old had gone the distance in. And he came right back Thursday with 2.10 for the same distance, hard held. He appears wel lcondliionsd and Icts like he will stay a while. Carl Waldemar: is comparatively a new- ‘comcr to the ranks of owners. but has benn a constant visitor on Ken- tusky tracks. Ben Block's Aspiration is also com- ing in for consideration from good judges. His two races at Lexington are not taken seriously and improve- ment is looked for from him. It would he quite an achievement if Owner Block could land this classic in successive years. The galaxy of Kentucky Derby eli- giblea that performed or trained at Lexington is now at Churchill Downs. It includes Ho McMillan. Aspiration. Boys Believe Me. Anna M. Hum- phrey. Actuary. Bright To-ldorrow. Calcutta. and Nassau. The latter made the loo-mile trip from Lexing- ton here i no. private van. He will be given a still workout Friday. James Rowe has advised that he will bring fifteen of the Harry Payne Whitney horses next Monday. The consignment will include his Derby eligibles. Trainer Rowe has not yet indicated those he will elect to start in the race, but it is now said his dependence will be Enchantment.

Picturesque careers have marked the ascent of the heavyweight ladder by the four outstanding figures in the Milk Fund boxing carnival today at the Yank Stadium. Jc- Willard. I’ioyd Johnson. Luis Angel Fispo and Jack McAuiier II. all aspirants for the crown worn by Jack Demp» soy. Brief sketches of their ring achievements follow: Jes “’iilard. must-d. giant from the plains of Kansas. who amered the can for a. "white hope" eight years ago and took the heavyweight title from Jack Johnson in Havana is assaying a Comeback in his bout with Floyd Johnson. Despite his 40 years or so, Willard is confident he can fight his way to a return match with Jack Dempsey. who toppled him from the throne on July 4. an at Toledo. the showing today after a four—year layoff. against Johnson's aggressive youth. will be watched with keen in- terest. Willard defended his crown but once in the tour years interval of his reign. defeating Frank Moran in a ton-round bent in New York in 191‘. He stands six feet six inches in height. weighs 200 in his present fighting trim. and towers over all of his rivals for honors. Floyd Johnson. One of the younger crop at chal— lengers. Johnson has climbed rapidly to the fore within the year or more that he has been active in Eamon! rings. Ho knocked out Bob Martin. gained a. decision over Billy Bren- nan and another over Fred Fulton. recently at Jersey City. but lost some prestige by his failure to more than shade the tall )dinnesotan. Johnson is 22 years old. a good boxer and last. but to date he has failed to show a. powertui punch. Louis moi nrpo. ‘ Flrpo. a national hero in his na- tive Argentine. where he cut a wide. swath throngh amateur and profes- sional ranks. is the most picturesque of the present heavyweight crop. He created a sen-Mon on his first ap- pearance in the £1th States more than a year ago. bowling over sev- eral third raters in rapid succeslon. and returned this year to knock out the veteran Bill Brennan. Under ex- pert tutelage the cruder edges have_ been taken 08 his caveman style of fighting and he has quickly acquired sclenunc ability to reinforce his tor- rible punching power. Numerous critics hail him as a second Jim Jef- fries. He is 26 years old, weighs around no and stands well over six toot. Jack McAuliire. II. HeAulifle. the last known of the Milk Fund principals. is neverthelesa rated highly by critics who have seen him train for his bout with Firpo. Bis records show 10 knockouts out of 17 tights and a ‘x-round decision over Floyd Johnson. but most or his conquests have been over little known opponents. He is a shifty boxer. Ito-sues a good left hand punch. but has yet to prove ability to assimilate the type or punishment hewiilreeeiveatthehaadsotnrpo. s r : sm ~ " Em RECORD CROWD minus MILK FUND BOUTS MST Sportdom’s Record Donation to Chari «3' ‘ .
