Two Headliners Answering Derby Roll Call Next Month ■L W ‘ gpiKiIAYYAMI; WK By Central P.a-3 TWICE SUNNY JIM FITZSIMMONS has trained the win ner of the Kentucky Derby, and the veteran has high hopes that on May 2 one of his several charges, perhaps White Cockade, will romp home ahead of the field at Churchill Downs. Fitz is found of White Cockade’s chances to give him the same thrill he had when Gallant Fox and Omaha, both trained by him, won the Blue Grass classic. Early last spring Fitz simmons called White Cockade the best colt he ever trained, i As a two-year-old White Cockade won his first three start* easily at Jamaica. He was out of the money three times ii 10 starts. One of his best performances was a-t Arlington park last July when the bay son of Diavolo-White Favor ran third to Deliberator and Nedrow in a 5%-furlong dash, timed in 1:04 3-5. White Cockade, owned by Ogden Phipps, who was also his breeder, is from good staying stock. His dam White Favor, is a daughter of Sir Gallahad HI, sire of Gallant Fox, which in turn sired Omaha. Wintering at Aqueduct. L. 1., White Cockade has grown into a healthy, well-formed hese with all the appearances of being a strong contender for three-year old honors. The fact that he did his best racing last spring and early last summer promises well for his training for the Derby. imBE HOPES TO KEUcEM LifoaiiG BY TARS SUNDAY Tomorrow will be the red letter day in the 1936 sport history for the city when the Indians open their home season with a game with the highly touted Jacksonville Tars from the sunny state. Losing the game yesterday in Jacksonville to ths tune of 15 to 4, the Indians will be out for revenge and will prob ably take to the warpath with Har ris on the mound and West behind the bat. With yesterday's game not as bad as it sounds, the high wind gave both clubs trouble. Wind or no wind, according to Manager Bill Gould of the Indians, will not ham ner the Tribe from taking the Tars into camp tomorrow. The high dignitaries of tho city will be on hand to watch Mayor Gamble throw in the first ball, and with the Mayor issuing a proclama tion ord:ring a half day holiday, Sa vananhians are expected to turn out en masse for the revival of the colorful Sally League, which is the cradle for minor league basebal’ of the nation. The League will he represented at the opening by Samuel Rhode, Jr., recording sec tary and counsel for the league. Bobby LaMotte has high hopes of Savannah winning the attend ance cup for the opening day re ceipts. Manager Babe Ganzel will start Dave McKinney, former Southeastern star, on the mound with Smith handling the catching reins for the Tars.

The tall chestnut goes to the Kentucky Derby, May 2, as a j maiden. That must not be taken as too strong an indication j he cannot win, for three have been horses that made the Derby ; their first victory, but Khayyam has not shown the ruggedness of his sire so far. Khyyam started racing as a two-year old las July at Sara toga. In four races the closest he got was fourth. This year raced nine times at Saratoga, and though he did not win, he placed in four heats, all of them over the mile route. In his last appearance, in February, he ran second to Mauve Decade. He is a fair mud runner. Khayyam is trained by the former great jockey, Albert Johnson. The horse is magnificent in appearance, built almost on show horse pattern. His dam was Caterpillar, by Meridian, indicating he yet may show the staying qualities expected because of his patronage. Omar Khayyam, sir of Kyhayyam, was the only imported hose ever to win the Kentucky Derby, and went on that year to become the thrce-year-old champion with winnings of $49,070. 13 IN A ROW—Cambridge crew beat* Oxford in annual boat race on the Thamei, London, for the thirteenth comecutive time.

MORRISON 1 Centinl Prw * ■ kl L*/ / HANP6RS on ) / \W G4IM w Number 905 ALEX MORRISON says: A left-handed player is more apt to let the strong side over power the weak side than is the right-handed player. A southpaw generally does less to harmonize the two sides of his body. The result is that he in creases the errors suffered by the right-handed player when he get* too much right into his swing. Just as the right-handed player can- keep his strong side from running wild by keeping his chin , pointed back of the ball, so the left-handed player can enjoy an even greater benefit from this same measure. When the chin is kept back of the ball, the strong side is checked. In fact, this checking affords some players an excuse for not properly pointing the chin. They feel that they are hampered by keeping the chin back. It does l cramp the strong side, but you’ll find when pointing it properly that the chin affords the best ad vantage to the weak side.
