JAMES REPORTS TO SNYDER LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 1. Basil James, leading American jockey in 1936, has reported to Edward Snyder, director of the fashionable Tranquillity Stable, to which he is under contract, and daily can be seen in the saddle during training hours. James will have his first Kentucky Derby mount on the likeliest of the three three-year-olds Knights Plume, Teddy Green and The Runnerwhich Tranquillity made eligible for that famous race. Judging from early trials, Knights Plume, which was purchased from Audley Farms, seems likely to get that call. Tranquillity is owned by H. H. Cross, Chicago oil man.
