| AYSTERIA TIGHTENS | GRP ON BIG DERBY GROWDINKENTUSKY| Close to > 60,000 Exp Expected tol Overflow Grandstand at Churchill Downs BREVITY STILL FAVORITE Granville, Bold Venture or Grand Slam Are Best Bets for Upset Win Louisville, Ky., May 1.—(?)—Their last workouts a matter of history, 16 three-year-olds one of them a filly, rested in their stalls Friday as the Derby fever tightened its grip on this thoroughbred capital in preparation for the 62nd running of the turf classic at Churchill Downs Saturday. From the highways and byways came the racing clans in the greatest throngs since the post-war depres- sion. So great. was the influx of horsemen and horse followers, many high in social and political life of the nation, that the hospitality of the city was taxed to the utmost. Close to 60,000 are expected to pack the quarter-mile long grandstand and overflow into the flower-covered infield Saturday. Many will get only @ fleeting glimpse of the horses as they match strides over the one ana Ohe-quarter miles for the purse of Derby Sixth on Card The horses themselves played little part in the pre-race hysteria. They went through short workouts this morning and then retired to their closely-guarded stalls to wait the call to “boots and saddle” Saturday at about 4:30 p. m. (C.S.T). The horses for the first event of the eight-race program will be called to the post at, 12:30. The Derby is scheduled sixth on the card. Joseph Early Widener's Brevity re- mained the horse to beat. Winner of ive of his six races, the Bay Flash has come up to the classic in perfect} condition. Widener never has won the Derby but this appears to be his year. If the track is fast, Brevity is expected to be held at 7 to 5 or shorter odds. Tf the going is heavy, he'll probably still retain his position as the favor- ite but at longer odds.

Madigan, director of athletics at St. Mary's college, telegraphed a vigorous protest Thursday to Judge K. M. Landis, baseball commissioner, against the signing of Francis Kelle- jher, St. Mary's third baseman, by Scout Joe Devine of the New York | Yankees. Madigan described the sign- ing of Kelleher, a sophomore, as a “deliberate steal” and a direct viola- tion of professional baseball's gentle- ; man’s agreement with college ball.” SKYROCKETING THE BALL 1S OFTEN CAUSED BY TEEING IT Too HIGH.. By ART KRENZ (NEA Service Golf Writer) When you're skyrocketing drives the chances are that you're teeing the ball too high. Improper weight shifting or pivot- ing also causes you to hit high ones.

Mickey Cochrane, battling manager of the Detroti Tigers, awoke Friday with reason for sour reflection on the latest twists of fate. The plucky manager who led his team to baseball's highest glory last year finds now that the laurelled highway of yesterday can turn quick- ly into the thorny low road of to- day. This season has been one bad break after another as far as the Ti- gers are concerned and they take the field Friday with neither Cochrane nor his ace thumper, Hank Green- breg, active. THURSDAY’S STARS Eric McNair, Red Sox — Hit triple, two doubles and a single against White Sox. Jake Powell, Senators— Hit single that beat Tigers 8-7. George Puccinelli, Athletics—Got three singles, a double and a pass against Browns. Danny MacFayden, Bees—Pitch- ed five-hit ball to beat Reds, Bill Brubaker, Pirates — Hit homer that beat Phils. Joe Moore, Giants—Got four hits in losing cause against Cards. Tex Carleton, Cubs—Beat Dutch ad of Dodgers 2-1 in pitcher's uel. Monte Pearson, Yankees — Beat Indians with four-hit pitching. Cochrane was hit by a foul in the losing game against the Senators Thursday and his instep was 50 bruised that he was expected to be out of the lineup for three days. He will join Greenberg on the sidelines, the latter suffering from a fractured wrist that is expected to keep him out of action for six weeks. Powell Drives in Winning Run A ninth-inning single that Jake Powell slapped down the third base line scored Buddy Myer with the run that gave the Senators an 8-7 victory. The day’s play showed a wide di- versification in pitching effective-| ness, Monte Pearson, obtained from the Indians for Johnny Allen in a winter trade, somewhat justified the judg- ment of the Yankees’ brains depart- -{ment when he pitched an 8-1 victory over the Indians with Allen opposing him. The Athletics belted over the Browns 12-8 with 25 hits ringing off their hickory while the Red Sox con- tinued their heavy clouting with a 16-4 conquest of the White Sox in which 31 safeties were made. Daffy Wins First Game Paul, the younger of the Dean brothers, accounted for his first vic- tory of the season 3-2, although the Giants outhit the Cardinals 11-5. Joe Moore of the Giants had a big day at bat with four safeties, one a two- bagger. Tex Carleton of. the Cubs shaded Dutch Brandt of the Dodgers in the closest mound duel of the day, an en- gagement that went 11 innings before the Cubs won 2-1. Billy Herman, the doubles king of last year, got two more to raise his season's total to 11. Danny MacFayden pitched five-hit ball as the Bees downed the Reds 3-1, Bill Brubaker, subbing at third base, walloped a homer to give the Pirates @ 6-5 victory over the Phillies.
