dinew York, April 23.—(UP)—No matter what advice I offer you directly from Louisville next week, you string along with Colonel Ed Padley's Bimeche to win the Kentucky Derby.
I'm telling you this before I get here because I know from past evidence that Louisville during Derf week does things to a man's judgment; to say the least. Many a year he gone there ready to back the lid horse only to get talked out pit by gentlemen with goatees on their chins, glasses in their hands, and convincing talk of inside information.
he became completely sold on Bimech when, at Jamaica yesterday, I talked into the paddock to get out of the rain and had a talk withanny Jim Fitzsimmons, the "Mister terdowwho trains for William Woodward's belail stud and the Wheaty stables. As the rain beat down did the horses came and went for the first and second races, "Mister Bitz," who is now starting his 55th war on the turf, gave his opinion of the coming Kentucky Derby.
"It'll be Bimelich, and easy," he said, "if the fellow is in shape. And sure he will be. Hurley'll see that. Right now it looks as if the rest of us will be going to Kentucky just for the ride. No, that's all, all that talk about Bimelchie but being in shape because of the weather doesn't have anything to with getting a horse ready for a race. You can ready a horse, regardless of the rain and cold and snow. The only catch is, you don't know how he is going to run. Our only hope in the Derby is that Bimelchie, though he be fit as hands can take him, just won't be the horse in May 4 that he was last fall. If he happens to be—well, we'll just chasing Bradley's silks all the way around."
That's a pretty compliment for amelech, because "Mister Fitz"ows a thing or two about the arby. He has sent three winners in the post at Churchill downs—allant Fox, Omaha and Johnstown and stands second only to the late arby Dick Thompson, who saddled his winners for Colonel Bradley. He isn't sure what horses he will up to Louisville this year. He is working with Asp, Snow Ridge and ferry Knight for the Wheatley Table, and Fenelon, Dusky Fox, boxflame, Foxleigh and Flarrette for alair. Right now Fenelon and ferry Knight, a pair of 40 to 1 shots, on the winter books, are the only ones considered as possible starters. Not "Mister Fitz" told me yesterday
he would charge in the Wood Memorial Jamaica Saturday and that how cey fared would decide which ones it a ride to the Bluegrass country. While I was talking to "Mister tz" we were joined by Hirsch Ja-

cobs, for several years the leading money winner among the trainers and a chap who knows all there is to know about a race horse from fetlock to forehead. And guess who he likes for the Derby? Bimelech. Jacobs doesn't believe there is any horse in the country who has the class of the Bradley beauty.
"Unless something comes out of the woods, some horse we don't know anything about, it'll be Bimelech," Jacobs said. Asked if he thought C. S. Howard's Mieland might prove to be this "dark horse" Jacobs said he didn't know anything about him except what was in the form of charts, and while that made him look like a pretty good thing, he doubted if the western hope had the speed and power of Bimelech.
So, there you have the opinions of two of the greatest trainers in the country. I have the same information, but I have a sneaking feeling that by next Wednesday night I'll be sitting in the Kentucky Hotel ending up a story with a plea to all of you to forget what I said about Bimelech and take a flyer on a great new find of mine. Don't you do it.

Golfers, Netmen To Play Wichita
Trying for their third win in as many starts, the Jayhawker golf team plays host to the University of Wichita in matches here tomorrow afternoon.
The University of Kansas netmen will try for their first win when they meet the Wichita tennis team on the courts southwest of the stadium. They lost a close 3 to 2 decision to Kansas City University, and by a 5 to 1 score to a strong Nebraska队.
Not a match has been lost by the linkmen in the two meets they have participated. They opened their season by swamping the University of Kansas City 17 to 1, and in their first Big Six dual meet scored a 16 to 2 win over the Nebraska swingers.
Dean Ritchie and Roderick Wakeland have been pacing the Big Six defending champions with near-par scores. In the Kansas City University match, Wakeland scored a 75 for medalist honors, but Ritchie, golf captain and Kansas state amateur champion, went around the 18-hole Country Club course in a one over par 73 to lead the linkmen against Nebraska. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray have been shooting consistently in the low 80's for third place honors.
All golf matches will be played on the Lawrence Country Club course.

Chicago, April 23 —(UP)—A change of scenery is the best remedy in the business for a ball player who's lost his confidence and already it has worked a major miracle for rowdy Dick Bartell.
Change of Scenery Aids Dick Bartell
Bartell was hooted out of the National League last season. Every time a ball was hit his way the crowd roared, "Another boot for Bartell." He was a colossal flop as shortstop for the Chicago Cubs and he's glad to get away—except for one thing.
"It's great to be with Detroit, but I'd like to have had one more year with the Cubs," he said. "I still think I can play good ball in this town. I deserved quite a bit of the booing I took last year, but I'd like to show 'em I'm not that bad."
You wouldn't know his now. As shortstop for the Tigers, he is everything the Cubs thought he'd be last season—and wasn't. He's off to a flying start. Once more the hustling sure-footed Bartell who played consistent ball for Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York before ending his National League days with the Cubs.
He made a hit with Detroit fans in his first home appearance with a near-sensational job of fielding. He hasn't made an error this season
and although that's only five games he didn't have many five game errors less stretches last season.
"I was trying too hard last season," Dick admitted. "I knew it. Everybody knew it. I did everything I could to settle down but it didn't do any good."
The Cubs were anxious to get Bartell. They insisted he be included in the deal for Hank Leiber and anxious as they were to land big Hank, they wouldn't take him without Bartell.
That put Dick on the spot. The Cubs had given up one of the best fielding shortstops in the game—Bill Jurges—in that deal. Bartell was branded as washed-up before he started. An ankle injury led to reports that his arthritis was back again, he got off to a late start, played before he was ready and never hit it off.
Nobody knows better than Bartell how terrible he was last season.
He's no world-beater now and probably won't be again, but he's a dead game guy who has licked himself.
"You don't know how good it feels," he grinned, "to have an idea where that ball is going when you throw it."
