SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS By BILL SIMS
By BILL SIMS
The Mexican baseball league has announced a rule limiting the number of foreign players who can compete in the league. The Mexican league has caused a lot of furor among big league owners and managers the past few weeks because it has offered terrific salaries to some of the major league stars.
The new rule allows each team to have eight foreign players under contract but only seven on the field at the same time. This guarantees Mexican patrons that they will get to see at least two Mexican players competing at all times on each team.
Many of the top major league players have been approached and offered everything but the Gulf of Mexico if they would sign to play in the Mexican league this year. Ted Williams, great Boston Red Sox outfielder, and Bob Feller, fireball strikeout king of the Cleveland Indians, are only two of the more famous players who have been approached.
When Williams was invited to play in the league, he asked the president of the league if he would get four strikes. The answer was yes, but Williams laughed and refused to jump the American league
used to jump.
Evidently some major leaguers didn't share Williams' attitude because several have signed contracts to play in the Mexican league this season, including Luis Olmo, one of Brooklyn's regulars last year.
The Kentucky Derby will be held May 4, but already 149 nominations have been entered for the preliminaries which will decide the horses to parade to the post on May 4. This is one of the largest entry lists in Derby history, and officials are predicting that this Derby will be one of the best ever run.
The added prize of $100,000 which will go entirely to the first four horses to cross the line is the biggest prize in Derby history. The previous high was a $75,000 added prize.
Track officials have predicted that more than 100,000 persons will jam Churchill Downs for the 78th running of the Derby, and it seems that all of the gala surroundings of prewar years will be the order of the day when May 4 rolls around.

First Important Grid Scrimmage Set For Friday

night in Otto Schnellbacher reported for practice last night. Schnellbacher, a regular end on the 1943 Kansas team, held down the starting assignment for the Hondo Army Air field team last year which almost upset a powerful Tuusa club.
Schneibullacher scored 18-points for Hondo as they lost to Tula 20-18.
Three other former stars for the Crimson and Blue are expected to check out suits after taking a few days rest now that the basketball season is over. Ray Evans, 1943 All-Big Six and All-American halfback; Hovt Baker, a pre-war regular full-back; and George Gear, last season's little quarterback, will report soon.
Coach Sauer said today that he is not satisfied with the current turn-out of candidates. He said that being a regular last season doesn't guarantee that player his job next fall.
Sauer emphasized that he had no bone to pick with the B1 players who now are sweating out spring drills, but that several players with ability had not reported. He extended an invitation to check out a suit to everyone who is interested in football. Red Hogan has been handling quarterbacking duties this week on the first team. Hogan played freshman football at the University of Delaware before the war and was quarterback of the Second Air Force superbombers last fall. Hogan is a good ball handler and a sure-fire passer.
