PETERSBURG, FLA. - You a pretty fair jump from one of the favorite habitats of racing dogs to the Kentucky Derby. But long distance calls from Tropical Park across the Everglades indicate that well-know- n forecasters are both busy and dizzy on the winter Derby book. I mean the new one. They tell me the main thorn In their prognosticating sides is a horse called Alsab. Eight weeks ago this wonder as a ld was far in front of the field. Then things began to happen as they usually do when two-ye- ar olds become three-year-old- s. Alhab had his ears pinned back (iee times running and the first book blew up witb a noisy crash. "Before the Widener," one of the leading bookies phoned, "I had Re-quested and the Calumet stable on top around 6 to 1. Alsab looked to be a dead fish. But the race he ran in the Widener has upset things again. I wish that horse would set-tle down to one form or another. "He looked to be a tired, over-worked, worn-ou- t horse in his first three starts. He was thin and nervous. He bad lost bis old speed. But when he moved up head and head with Best Seller and The Rhymer in the big race far down the stretch he was a different horse again. He is still the big guess of the Derby field." Favored Selections Ben Whitaker'a Requested and Warren Wright's Calumet entry will remain the favored selections. Nei- - a. , . J, ALSAB ther may be as good as Alsab on Derby day, but Alsab is still too much of a guess and a gamble. Requested has improved more than a mere bit. And Ben Jones will have more than one good horse ready when the big r,ace is run. Before I left California Trainer Jones told me that he might have-a-s many as four horses on hand for the next Derby. "I'm counting more on Sun Again and Some Chance," he said, "but I may have two others almost as good. Derby day is still a long way off as far as a thoroughbred is con-cerned, but we ought to have some-thing left from the group." At that time both Sun Again and Some Chance looked fit enough to run with any three-year-old- s around the map. The wrecking upset that took place in the recent $53,000 Widener now has the players in this tropical domain looking for some longer Derby prices. ' The mere sight of a favorite has become obnoxious, not to say repellent. Florida favorites have been run-ning like 20 to 1 shots, only not quite so fast For example, neither The Rhymer's trainer nor Jockey thought this horse had even an outside chance. And when the crowd saw all the favorites far back most of them wondered why they still had dished out so much cash on the top choices, after what had been hap-pening all spring. Badly Overicorked Alsab will have fresh backing in the new book, and at better odds. This horse proved he could run against older rivals last week. There isn't any question that he has been badly overworked. If he hasn't been, then practically every trainer in Florida is wrong. But the Derby is nearly six weeks away. And Alsab may get enough rest in that time to recover a good part of his 1942 form. He was the best horse in the Widener for a mile and an eighth, and started to fade only in the last 80 yards. Ben Whitaker said a year ago that Requested was the best horse he had ever owned. "And be has improved a lot," the Texan said before heading home. "I'm not going to pick him to win the Derby, but I know he has a good chance. Also, I think Alsab is a tetter horse than he looked to be In his first three starts at Hialeah. And I know that beating those Calu-met entries won't be any soft after-noon for anybody. That winter rest in California won't do any barm under a trainer, such as Ben Jones is." But these are not the only good horses around. The Whitneys have a few which might bring back glory S3 LARRY MacPHAIL, that from Brooklyn, de-clares that in his considered opin-ion the Brooklyn Dodgers will re-peat their National league victory of laat year. Neither MacPhail, president of the Dodgers, nor Manager Leo (The Lip) Durocher, can see bow the Car-dinals and Reds, their main compe-tition, have improved over 1941. It Is true that the Giants also have been mentioned in some quarters as a greatly improved ball club, but Brooklyn disregards this vague, un-substantiated rumor. MacPhail shyly admits that the Dodgers have Improved in two ways both of major importance. First, he says, the team is in the best pos-sible nhvsical condition. Every nlav- - er has taken full advantage of the annual spring tune-u- Second, the team's spirit has soared to a new high. The latter improvement, ac-cording to President MacPhail, is the result of the drive down the stretch last fall. In an oratorical flight he stated that the pennant race gave the Dodgers a "new base-ball souL It brought them together. They are now all for one and one for all." He admits that the Cardinals and the Reds won't be a soft touch, but figures they won't score enough runs to threaten the Dodgers. He called attention to the Cardinal Infield and pointed out that Johnny Hopp's hit-ting dwindled to almost nothing at the end of last year. He also shrugged off Lon Warneke's pitch-ing. In fact, Larry has several criti-cisms to offer regarding the other clubs of the senior circuit. Most of P-- MjmAmA,.,, .?J LARRY MacPHAIL them, sadly enough, have a basis In fact. The Giants haven't a great deal of pitching strength, as he points out. Nevertheless, quite a few of the experts have picked Mel Ott's boys either to finish fourth in the first division or to crowd out Dodgers, Cardinals or Reds from the spots which have been ten-tatively assigned to them. The Cubs are likely to show con-siderable improvement with better pitching and a more seasoned in-field. Their bitting is the big ques-tion mark. Should Lou Novikoff come through, the Cubs may prove extremely dangerous before the sea-son ends. MacPhail pointed out that Lou will have to smash quite a number of fences to make up for his weaknesses in other ways. "And," he remembered happily, "he wrecked very few fences last year In the National league." MacPhail's purchase of Catcher Billy Sullivan from the Detroit Ti-gers did much to strengthen the boys from Brooklyn. In addition to being a good catcher and a good d hitter, Sullivan is a competent third baseman and first baseman. Actually Sullivan's addition gives Brooklyn emergency strength at four positions, behind the plate and at first, short and third. Should any-thing happen to Pee Wee Reese, the shortstop, it would not be difficult to shift Arky Vaughn to Reese's post and use Sullivan as the third baseman. Sullivan, who was 32 last Octo-ber, has been in organized baseball since 1931. He went to the White Sox as a third baseman right out of college. He batted .275 his first year. In 93 games at first and third in 1932 he hit .317. He had a bad year in 1933 and was sent to Mil-waukee. He went to the Reds in 1935 and was sold to the Indians in 1936, when he had his best season, batting .351. Micky Owen will handle the regu-lar receiving chores, of course, but Durocher doesn't want him to catch as many as 128 games again this year. Owen was tired out at the end of last season. Another league victory for Flat-bus- h would please a few million fans. More than any other team, the Dodgers have been adopted by the nation. A scrappy, colorful ball club, they won the hard way in 1941. MacPhail is optimistic about the present seasonr-an- d with cause. The Dodgers have as much speed as any team in the league and their strik-ing power is second to none. The Dodgers will be strong both offensively and defensively, and they are keen to get at least one more crack at the American league champs. O. C.

B J THE STUDY OF A MINUTE MAN The Minute Man came into being at Concord and Lexington. He was so called because the ques-tion of hours didn't bother him when trying to win a war. , With him a minute was 60 sec-onds and even if it ran into 62 he didn't demand overtime. When his country wanted him, a minute's notice was plenty. He was so loyal he would even take your version of what time it was. The Minute Man was a Minute Man and never a Four-Minu- te Egj. He realized that a minute is a long time when somebody's life is at stake. He knew a minute was 60 seconds and not subject to change without notice. He knew there were 60 minutes In an hour but he acted as diligently as if he were afrpid there might be only 59. He stood ready to fight at a min-ute's notice but didn't squawk if he got only 30 seconds. He never put off till the mor-row the bull's-ey- e he could make to-day. He never heard of the word com-placency, but if it had been ex-plained to him ne wouia nave thought himself guilty if he had stopped to look around between shots. His slogan was, "Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!" but he gets 'em now when he senses the black of their hearts. ' ' When life and liberty were in-volved he'knew no form of compro-mise that didn't depend on marks-manship. The Minute Man hadn't even a half second tor an appeaser. He was no luxury hound even when the going was good, and when the going was tough he thought he was well fixed if he had a fair sup-ply of dry powder and bullets. He never left to any commit-tee, agency or board anything he could do himself. He never confused an attack with an appropriation. To a Minute Man every minute counted in the job of licking the foe and he never argued over hours. He didn't worry about the peace until he had won the flght. It never entered his head that he could do his duty in a free-for-a- ll fight by buying some stamps, ap-pearing at a benefit or offering to spend two hours on a roof every other week, unless he wasx over 60. Nothing would have disturbed him less than a reduction in luxury transportation, less rubber in his suspenders and a room in which the temperature got below 70. He knew all the Indians were in the woods and not in his legislative bodies. He was brave and rugged but he thought one war at a time was enough. He never called his fight a "defense" effort and was always out to lick the fellow who start-ed the trouble. He didn't need long and frequent speeches to make him understand he was in a battle. In his most desperate minutes the Minute Man never gave any part of a minute to worrvinir nhnnt ki morale. It would have taken too many hours. The Minute Man was an man every second. e NO DETOURS I cannot buy a radio, I've got to scrimp on gas, My tires they are going fast, I'm low on oil, alas!"
