May 6—(?)—The fortunes of the American turf, braced ‘up Saturday with a flash of old-time color and sporting spirit for another chapter of the romance closest to the | nation’s racing heart—the Kentucky Derby. It’s the one big race of the year. the outcome of which is awaited as} keenly along Broadway as it is on every main street corner in the United ‘States. Since 1875, when it was worth only $2,850 to the first winner and drew 10,000 followers of the thoroughbred. it has become a national institution. It’s award still is worth more tha’ $50,000 to the winner. It has drawn the entry of 22 crack three-year-olds trom the nations’ leading owners and breeding farms. If the crowds were much less over- whelming for Louisville to handle than in palmier days, they lacked nothing in enthusiasm. ‘The sale of Head Play for $30,000 ‘and a percentage of the colt’s possible Derby winnings gave the incoming thousands fresh food for speculation. His odds were down to 4 to 1, second choice only to the W. R. Coe entry, the renowned Ladysman. Dakota Relays’ Records Stand As Meet Starts Weather Prevents Smashing Performances; Giant Mein- hover Is Beaten Sioux Falls, S. D., May 6.—(@)— Records successfully resisted all as- saults of track and field stars from 49 colleges and high school here Friday, @ raw wind which whipped across the field hampering the contenders in the first day's competition of the Dakota Relays. Ten finals and 14 preliminaries were run off without any serious threat to existing marks in the college section and with only one instance approaching record time in high School competition, despite several hard battles. Ted Meinhover, giant Universtiy of North Dakota champion weight man. ‘was beaten in both the discus throw and shot put by Willert of Iowa teach- ers college. Willert hurled the platter 136 feet 8 inches and heaved the shot 43 feet 4 inches.

Frederick’s Bat Average Dips But Still Leads Loop Johnny's Average Dropped 71 Points But Outfielder Still Has .391 New York, May 6—(P}—Despite stiff competition from up-and-coming sluggers, including several veterans who usually can be found near the top of the batting list, early leaders in the major league hitting competition cling to their places during the last week. The “first 10” in both major leagues after Friday's games showed 13 play- ers who were up there a week ago and the two leaders were unchanged. Johnny Frederick’s average dropped 71 points but the Brooklyn outfielder still led the National League with .391 Fred Schulte, American League lead- jer was only two points off at .410.

This amounted to $92, from which he was required to pay a $5 Indiana state boxing license fee. Belanger, though losing the decision in the fight, received $300, as he signed on a flat guarantee of that amount. Rain was a factor in the small at- tendance. Seer een Hickey Disgruntled | Over Poor Weather a ee Chicago, May 6.—(?)—Thomas Jefferson Hickey, the big head man of the American Association, sighed as he watched the rain Splatter against his office window. “What a season,” he moaned. “It's the worst weather for the opening month of our pennant race in my memory and that runs back 32 years, Won't we ever get @ break?” As President Hickey spoke, the report came to him that all four games of Friday's schedule had been washed out, piling up more doubleheaders. “We've really had but two very good baseball days since our season opened,” he added, “and they were at Kansas City. At all the other Places it has been one battle against cold and rainy weather.” HICAGO stands on the site of Fort Dearborn. The first Kentucky Derby was run at Churchill Downs IN 1875.

And was Mike Kelley, president, of the Millers, glad: “Mascots,” he snorted, ‘fine mascots those goats were. Why, ‘we never won @ game here after ‘we got ’em.” He was right. After a fan sent the’ two goats to the club as mas- coats, the Columbus Red Birds took the Millers for three in a row. After the first loss, Kelley thought the mascots were not mascoting in the proper way because of their diet. “We'll try the diamond,” he told the ground keeper at Nicollet Yesterday’s Stars | —____— (By the Associated Press) Bill Urbanski, Braves—Cut off sev- ral Cub hits with brilliant fielding Lloyd Waner, Pirates — Clouted TS.

After the third loss he was angry. “Send those goats away,” he or- dered. “Get rid of ‘em but get ’em out of here.” So they were sent to Afton, Minn. Inclement weather has prevented the Millers from play- ing since the goats were sent away, so it remains to be seen whether it was the goats or the three southpaws Columbus sent against Minneapolis that caused last year’s pennant winners to drop three games to the Red Birds, Spokane, Wash., clear.. 56 Swift Current, ptcldy.. 50 The Pas, Man., ptcldy.. 66 40 Toledo, Ohio, foggy ... 50 Winnemucca, Nev., clr 42 Winnipeg, Man., cldy .. 58 Beach Beats Special Tax Levy for Schools Beach, N.

ONTINUE]F) Cc from page one’ Commissioner Will Take Stand Monday In Ouster Hearing for the contracts given to The Bis- marck Tribune as agents for furniture manufacturing firms, because they were the lowest bids offered, in his judgment. The contracts were com- pletely fulfilled by the bidders. the county saved money on the deal and there was nothing corrupt in the transaction, he said. Will Identifies Voucher Identifying a voucher for $9,045 given in payment for the ‘furniture. ‘Will said the original bid was $10,000 and that a 10 per cent deduction by the bidder, offered in the bid, brought the amount actually paid to $9,045 This, he said, was less than any of the other bids offered. . McCurdy’s attempts to place in the records details of business transacted between the county and The Tribune company was based, he said, on the theory that the acts were not in themselves wrong but that they tend- HITS HOMER, TRIPLE Bismarck Nine Will Play Next Week M Turn Out to Be Jinx § DOUBLE AND SINGLE Naeny God lectilees Vacation!

Martin also is communicating with the traveling House of David club, Dickinson and the Jamestown North- ern Pacific team for games. Ce ee it should furnish these supplies and that the bills were evidence of con- tract violation by Soder and Swanson, even though other members of the commission also approved the bills and the purchases were made by var- ious county officers and employes. These exhibits had frequently been rejected by Abern as not pertinent jand upon the ground that the con- {tract called for specified items at Stated prices, whereas the materials sold by The Tribune were not listed in the contract. Upon McCurdy’s contention that a 35-cent item for leather tabs should have been sold by the Quick Print. however, Abern fi- nally admitted the bills in evidence. He explained ‘as he did so that they | would be received “for whatever value | they might have for proving a course of dealing between the respondents, or some of them, and The Bismarck Tribune company.” He said they “might, somehow or other, show in- tent” on the part of the accused coms missioner to favor The Tribune com- pany with county business, He specified, however, that they could not be construed as the basis for additional charges. The charge of which the defendants are accused is that they violated the law in vot- ing to extend for one year, at a 10- Per-cent reduction, a contract for printing and supplies which the county had with The Tribune com- pany for the year 1932. Firm Made Survey McCurdy’s main point in raising the question of the furniture contract was that, when the courthouse was under construction, @ contract was entered into with a furniture manu- facturing firm, represented locally by The Tribune, whereby it surveyed the building and provided plans and Specifications for the furniture need~- ed. The same company bid on the furniture. The survey contract pro- vided that, if the company received the contract, the survey was to cost the county nothing. If it did not re- ceive the contract it was to get 10 per cent of the low bid for its serv- ices. The contract in question was voted for by other members of the commission in addition to Soder and Swanson, Tiedman not being a mem- McCurdy contended that this gave the firm making the survey an op- portunity to specify its own kind of stock, thereby giving it an advantage by Sullivan, Will said he saw nothing wrong with \the contract, that it was entered into openly and he did not see how any- one could infer corruptness or dis- honesty in connection with it.
