Alternates Todatfs - - - Sportt Kentucky Blue; Derby Parade Without A Big Horse BY JACK GUENTHER United Prm Staff Correspondent LEXINGTON, Ky., April 24 (U.R) Kentucky today is as blue as its grass and its blood lines. From Frankfort to Paris and from Winchester to Louisville, the hardbcots in this dark and bloody ground are bewitched, bothered and bew'ildered. They are grasping grasp-ing at straws, pulling ipetals off daisies and flipping coins. In some cases, they even are cutting cards. To date they haven't come up with a favorite for the 68th Kentucky Derby. The Derby is barely eight days away and for the first time since Stagehand caught a cold on the eve of the big show In 1938 there is no big horse. Two of the three ma tor tune-up preps are a matter of history and there is only one left on the calendar, yet the men who are supposed to know all the answers don't even know one answer ans-wer They say Alsab is burned out. They claim Apache is a sprint er. They hint Devil Diver is doubtful. doubt-ful. They Insist With Regards has no class. From the first to the last of the 150 bablca who were nominated for Matt Winn' Equine Epic, the natives of America's thoroughbred citadel are picking flaw. Tfcts year, they arcli't arguing as to which horse will win the Derby. They are arguing that none of the 150 can win the Derby. It sound awfully sUlv but there it la. For the last, two days I have, talker to owners, trainers, Jockeys, Jock-eys, sport writers, experts am"-lust am"-lust plain touts. Not one offered to select a horse capable of. showing show-ing his black nostrils under the finish wire in first place. To a man, thev centered their conversation conversa-tion on the fact that there is no thoroughbred fast enough to head the class. These men were disappointed by Maryland's Chesapeake, the first of the three big preps. As you. remember, Colchis whipped both Alsab and Requested in that one and Colchis isn't eligible for the Derby. Tom Piatt, the man who. bred Alsab, claims the horse didn't like the footing. Other Alsab Al-sab backers are Just stubborn and will stay with him to the end. The second of the glamor tune-ups, tune-ups, the Blue Grass Stakes, was run here yesterday and tt proved nothing either. Devil Diver, the hot advance favorite, was scratched scratch-ed an hour before the race. He cut his leg in the barn and the seriousness of his condition can't be determined as yet. With Devil Diver out, hi stablemate ran to an easy triumph.

As it .appears now and this opinion represents the combined brainwork of almost every resident in this town the Derby is as wide open as Reno, Nev., Augaua Caliente. Mex., or Joe E. Brown's mouth. There are more than 20 horses still in the running and every one looks Just as good or as bad as the others. The surest starters now are Alsab, Valdina Orphan.

High Match Postponed The scheduled final match between be-tween "Y" high and Provo high for Thursday was postponed until un-til Monday. Due to the winds that swept the valley and the fact that neither team could get all their men the matches weren't played. At present pres-ent "Y" high has practically sewed up the title and the most Provo can hope to do is to tie with them. "Y" high holds a 4-0 victory over, the Bulldogs. - Vavt m 1 1,1 ll .JPIJJM.W lliiMPMI.WUi I 1 ?!.:.
