*s L. T. COOPERS NEW TRAINER LOUISVILLE. Ky., May IS.— AI Kirby. who recently took over the main division of the L. T. Cooper stable, has been succeeded as trainer by former jockey M. Crawford, who Monday morning shipped the string to Maple Heights, where the owner has some other horses racing. At the conclusion of that meeting the stable will be sent to Toronto for a campaign on the Canadian circuit. The horses relinquished by trainer Kirby were Missionary, Slice, Bonnie Omar, Braedalbane and Corinth. The three-year-old Fuo, winner of a race last Saturday, and a two-year -old filly by Star Shoot, which had been in charge of Kay Spence, were also included in the lot that Crawford shipped north. Fuo is an intended starter in the Ohio State Derby. Kirbys reason for severing relations with the Cooper stable was due to his desire to remain on the Kentucky tracks.
