Weather May Decide Derby Entries Across Colts
The weather will determine which colts are entered in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. With March often bringing thaw and frost, trainers fear delays to shed work and track time, delaying conditioning for a mile and a quarter. Prominent stables like Belmont Park figures and owners anticipate a strong Derby field if favorable weather allows steady training through March and April.

Gibbons Favored 10‑Round Bid Over Greb in New York
In New York on March 16 the Gibbons Greb light heavyweight bout at Madison Square Garden draws strong betting. Tommy Gibbons of St Paul is favored to defeat Harry Greb, with tickets near sell‑out and few seats left. The winner expected to meet Georges Carpentier for the world title, while Dempsey looms as next potential opponent if unification happens. Both fighters express confidence, with Garden ready to host a crowded, sold‑out event where scalpers and speculators chase high prices.

Kansas University Professor Debunks Golf Experts
Professor Helseberg at the University of Kansas argues golf authors mislead learners. He claims strokes arise from trial and error and pleasurable success, not book instructions. He cites rapid club head motion and motion-picture analysis as the only reliable learning method. He asserts experts cannot know a golfer's shot through introspection and emphasizes measured, observable technique.
