LIKE OSMAND IN DERBYto Ride Widener

—-Gelding, Report—Otherw Eligibles Discussed.

The ‘‘derby hounds” are beginning

to look forward to the 1927 turf clas-sic at Churchill Downs, Louisville.

i-yißd there seems to be “a leaning”

toward Osmand, an eastern horse,of the Widener stable, as the early"standout.”

America’s greatest horse race willoccur May 14 in the Kentucky me-tropolis.

Qsmand is a chestnut gelding by■Sweeper-Ormanda and is owned by

the Philadelphia horseman, JosephE. Widener. This youngster, inseven starts last year, captured six

- races and finished third in one event.H displayed gameness and dash.

Favorite .Jockey4 It is said Earle Sande ■will be up

on Osmand and many dopestersalways place soive money on hisDerby mount. Earle rode Zev andFlying Ebony to victory in the Ken-tucky classic.

It is rumored, but not verified thatChance Shot and Scapa Flow havebeen withdrawn.

Justice F, the crack Dixie eligible,is “liked” by many, and several form.sheet readers say they will take achance on Rip Rap as a long fehot.

•Justice F PopularJustice F is owned by William

jßdamels and the owner is telling hisnot to overlook the colt,

which has won handily in severalraces after conceding weight. Jus-

; tjce F has displayed ability to comefrom behind or maintain a swiftpace if he gets off in front. Thiscolt is liked especially in Louisville.

Other Derby candidates Kentucki-ans are showing some enthusiasmover are Rolled Stocking and WoodLore.

Fair Star gets much mention anda few other names heard discussedas likely looking long shots areSweepster, Jopagan, Valorous, Sak-ari. Whiskery and Dolan.

The official list of Derby nomina-tions will be announced Feb. 26.

BRAVES AWAIT OPENINGOF PENNANT CAMPAIGN

Extreme Youth and Equally Extreme Age Dependedon to Pull Boston Up.

By Henry MinottI nited Press Staff Correspondent.

BOSTON, Feb. 21.—Extreme youthand equally extrerrfe age, as baseballplayers go, will be depended uponnext season to pull the BostonBraves out of the rut in which theyhave wallowed for several years. Thesquad has started training as St.Petersburg, Fla.

Made confident by their late sea-son rally of 1926, during which theyproved a deciding factor in settlingthe pennant race in the NationalLeague, the Braves face the new sea-

son with what they believe will bethe strongest team they have put onthe field in many campaigns.

“Old Man” FournierForemost among the newcomers is

Jacques Fournier, experienced andhard-hitting first baseman securedfrom Brooklyn this winter. He is ex-pected to be an improvement overDick Burrus, who had a poor sea-son in 1926.

Ranked close to Fournier In newpotential strength is Lance Rich-bourg, sensational outfielder ob-tained from Milwaukee for $35,000.Richbourg and Eddie Brown, local

star of last season, are expected tofill two outfield berths. The thirdregular outfield place probably willbe contested for by the veterans Jim-my Welsh, Jack Smith and LeslieMann, and a newcomer, Red Bar-ron, Georgia Tech football star ofthree seasons ago.

Among TwirlersAdditions to the pitching staff in-

clude Charlie Robertson, who pitcheda not-hit game for the White Soxseveral years ago; Eimer Knight, se-cured from the Phillies this winter;Kyle Graham and Harold Goldsmith,both from the Providence team; andHerman Holshauser, a likely rookiefrom the Charlotte (S. C.) Club.

Frank Gibson and Zack Taylor,regulars; Oscar Sehner, substitutebackstop last year; and FrancisHogan, acquired from Lynn, willcomprise the catching staff.With Andy High at third and Man-

ager Bancroft at short, the left sideof the infield undoubtedly will be thesame as last year. The big fightprobably will involve second base,for which Doc Gautreau, EddieMoore and Herbert Thomas, whocomes from the Providence team,will be the chief contestants.
