TRAINERS BADLY.SPUT NEW YORK, April 20. (API A "Jury" of 12 turners, who should know If anybody does does, failed to day to come anywhere near a unani mous forecast on the Kentucky derby. They agreed oniy that J. H. Lou chetm's Pompoon, Mrs. Ethel V. Mars' Reaping Reward and Samuel Riddle's War Admiral are the horses to beat. Three trainers, participating in the Associated Press fourth annual poll, named Pompoon outright, three se lected War Admiral, one picked Reaping Reward and four refused to be pinned down closer than two horses. The remaining vote went to E. R. Bmdley's Brooklyn on condi tion he show a good race In the Blue Orass stakes at Kceneland to day. Max Hlrsch, who saddled Bold Ven ture to win the stake last year, was one of the three favoring Pompoon. "Any colt that performs the way Pompoon did in the Paumonok han dicap and then turns in such fine workouts afterwards gets my vote," said Hlrsch. His daughter, Mary, first woman trainer to prepare a horse for Amer ica's greatest turf classic, selected Pompoon and War Admiral to beat, but reserved the right to rate her horse, No Sir. a chance. SUGGESTION ON FELLER . DRAWS SARCASTIC SHOT SAYS INSTRUCTOR, May Defeat Japan in Zone Eliminations, But Small Hope Seen for Victory Oyer Next Opponents By RI'SS NEWLAND BAN FRANCISCO, April 29. (API The present United Statea Davis cup team, which will meet Japan In Kne eliminations here Friday. Satur day and Sunday, should win lta open ing teat but probably la the veakest ever to repreaent thia country. In the opinion of George H. Hudson. He Is the instructor at the Berkeley Tennis club, proving ground of such past and present champlona as Helen Wills Moody, Anna Harper, Helen Ja cobs, J. Donald Budge and many oth ers. After watching Davis - cuppers. Budge, Frankle Parker, Oene Mako and Joe Hunt, In practice, Hudson declared: 'There seems to be a weak spot In everyone of our representa tives this year." Budge Due In Single, Hudson sees' an American victory through Budge winning his singles matches: Parker, probable No. 3 man. taking his Individual setto and Budge and Mako teaming up to take the doublea event for a 4-to-l wlndup of me mree-aay competition. But Budge "will be very fortunate to win from JIro Yamaglshl, Japanese captain, as he Is not up to his 1938 jorm," Hudson said. "His fight should carry him through, however. Parker probably will lose to Yamasl- ahl but ahould win handily from rumiteru Nagano, No. 3 on the Jap anese team. "Our chief worry, however, la not so much In defeating Japan as our chances of beating the winner of the Austrana-Mexlco zone play. The Aus tralian team should come through nanauy. it .will be a tough hurdle lor any otner nation In the world.' Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayi: . Stock Soars With Medford.

(UP) Cyril C. 8Inpnicka, vice-president of the .Cleveland Indians, today an swered National League President Ford Prick's statement that Bob Fel ler "should go to the minors" with suggestion that BUI Terry, New York Giants' manager, should send "his entire team to the minors for year or two." Prick. National league president. snld In Buffalo yesterday he believed the Indians' schoolboy pitcher should spend some time "In the minor leagues," that he "still Is pretty wild. . I believe It might be well for Mr. Frlok to confine his analysis of players to his own league," Slnpnlcka said. Slapnlcka said he believed "Prick should advise Terry to send his en tire tcflm to the minors for a year or so." "Bob demonstrated this spring on many occasions that he could take care of the Olanta quite easily. "Likewise, last year he demonstrat ed thot the Cardinals needed some more minor league experience, as all he did was to set down eight out of nine Cardinal hitters in three in nlngs on strikeouts. "If any pitcher can win five out of eight games In less than two months In the major leagues as Bob did last yar, and come in second as far aa pitching effectiveness is con cerned, I am of the opinion that Mr, Prick had better brush un on hu I player analysis." . 8an Diego ....!....

Chicago St. Louis .750 .600 .600 .600 .400 .333 .167 "Don't sell Medford or Ashland short" would seem to be an approp riate cry regarding the coming South ern Oregon League pennant chase af ter what those two ball clubs did to the twin pride and Joys of the re putedly powerful northern California circuit last Sunday. The Weed Sons of Italy, 1936 cham pions of the neighboring setup, were supposed to be far and away stronger than a Medford outfit that bad been working out only a week, but the result was a booming 19-10 win for the locals. And Hilt, with Arnold! Bauman in the box and a bevy of classy performers afield, was figured one of the dark, horses of the league; ! clear beyond the class of an Ashland ! team composed In the main of kids. The score Sunday was 14-9 for the Llthlans, and at one time In the ball game It was 13-7. Both battles were played In California, also. Those two performances really stamp the Jackson county teams as serious pennant contenders, and an other important factor la their fa vor when firing begins next Sunday is the matter of condition. Because of Inclement weather all over the cir cuit, neither Grants Pass, Roseburg, Olendale nor Crescent City will have had exhibition games under their belts. They will begin the season 'cold." Ashland and Medford have been more fortunate, the Llthlans In two practice licks against outside clubs and the locals one. Both teams are well fortified In the pitching department. Lowell Brown, lanky portslder who hurled for the champion Klamath Red Sox last year, will probably be the Llthlans' number one mound performer, although Bill Kannasto, well known In southern Oregon baseball circles, and Wayne Combest, youthful Talent pitcher, are reported looking good. Manager Mike Baikovlck of the Medford team has four pitchers near ly on a par, and his big worry will be the selection of an opening thrower. Ray Erlckson, Alvln Merrltt. Ray Tungate and Larry pepper are the hurlers working out under the big skipper, and he states that the open ing assignment against Grants Pass next Sunday won't be determined un til the end of the week. Local fans are predicting it will be Erlckson, however, on the basis of his fine per formance against Weed Sunday and the fact that he is a 100 per cent Improved hurler over last year. Erlrkson was fairly fast last year but compared to his high hard one this season, his speed was Just so-so. He really wheels thnt horsehlde In there. According lug to his dad, Fred, the Increase . In speed and general lmprovefent the youngster has developed can be credited to a mattress and an unused store-room upstairs. No fooling. During the long winter months Ray built himself an artificial catcher" in the vacant room by hanging up a thick mattress on the wall. And. through those months Cliff (Chief) McLean, who led Southern Oregon League batters last season with a mark of .438 while do ing the catching for Grants Pass, Is doing some hefty clouting for How ard Hobson's University of Oregon nine. Against Oregon State last Sat urday, Chief hit for the circuit with the basea clogged, and in every game so far, has collected his share of the blows. Two other former Southern Ore gon League players are performing for the Webfoots Bob Hardy and Bill Courtney. Hardy, the lanky left- handed pitcher who was McLean's battery mate with Grants Pass last year and the season before pitched and played In the outfield for Ash land and Medford. Is rated Oregon's number two hurler, taking second place only to tho sensational Bill! Sayles. Courtney saw Southern Ore-1 gon League action with Ashland and ' Medford two years ago, and la sta-1 tloned In Hobson's outfield. Scores Yesterday Coast League. Sacramento 9, Missions 2. Oakland 2.
