Sinclair’s Horse Takes Blue Ribbon Event At Churchill Downs CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUIS- VILLE, Ky., May 19.—Zey, owned by Harry F. Sinclair, won the Ken- tucky derby here this afternoon from a field of twenty-one starters, Mar- tingale was second and Vigil third. The time for the mile and a quarter was 2:05 2-5. Jockey H. Sande, was up on the winner. The twenty-one starters came out very near to the sceduled post time and paraded in front of the stand whie the 75,000 spectators craned. ‘They were lined up at the post in five minutes and it took another five to get them off. Passing the stand Zev was in the lea¢, He continued in the lead at the quarter with Prince K second and Martingale third. At the half Zev still led followed by Martingale, with Vigil, winner of the Preakness third. Zev held the lead at the three quarters with Mar- tingale still on his heels. Martingale stook the lead at the mile with Zev second and Vigil tnzrd. They went into the stretch with Martingale in the lead, but Zev over- took him before the finish. Vigil and some of the long shots were played heavily in the mutual machines and Zev returned the good price of $40.40, $30.60 and $18.40 for two dollar tickets. Martingale paid $25.80 and $16.60. and Vigil backers took $12.30 show money. The great crowd came to its feet with a roar as Zev stretched in a fina! spurt and came across the fin- ish in front of the pick of America’s three-year olds. The sensaticnal finish was really a climax—despite the two following races—to what Matt Winn, general the biggest of all rail- road barons representa- tives of wealth that made the derby a “billion doltar affair’ rubbed el- to and from the course in the tands and on greens, with laborers. The attendance exceeded by 10,000 at least, any previous crowd. The aristrocrats of the east and west and the north and south met at the “sport of kings.” The mob that surged through Louisville beginning with day-break rivalled that of a world’s series or world’s championship pugilistic event. It was a cosmopolitan affair. Louisville handled the crowd well, despite taxi pirates who charged $5 to $10 a person to the course, and bootieggers who sold inferior, if not Cangerous moonshine at $40 a quart The day was ideal, the field of starters included every horse in the country really entitled to qualify; it was an ideal (lerby, Several hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps millions, changed hands tonight as the result of the finish. A good part of it was placed by women, Zev ‘x a son of the Finn, Miss Kear- ney. Twenty-four Horses went through the entry box on Friday and only three dectined the issue, leaving the largest field ever starting in the 49 times the derby has been run. ~The next largest year was in 1920 when Capt. Ral Parr's Paul Jones won the classic, There was a slight de‘ay at the post. With Sande astride, Zev was never allowed to falter all the way. Martingale was the only dangerous contender for winner throughout, but barely managed to survive the kill- ing pace so as to edge out Vigil. Vigt! saved ground on the rail and fin'shed under punishment, pushed by Nassau, who worked forward at the fintah and closea fast in the final furlong, Chittagong ran @ good race and finished « bang-up fifth, with Ha-ry Payne Whitney’s Hachantment sixth.

The two gentlemen, “Missou” and “Wes" are well known to the sporting fraternity around Casper, who are allowed only one guess as to their last names. The prosecuting attorney is pre- serving the note in his archieves until he investigates the situation. There is nothing in particular in the missive to indicate whether it refers to buttermilk, sorghum or sewing machine oil. If by any chance the note should have re- ferred to moonshine it would in- dicate one of two things. Hither that business was heavy on the retall end or that there was less liquor in town than usual, When the raid was conducted the officers found 17 barrels of mash and a. considerable quantity of moonshine whiskey, E¢ward Curtis was also arrested with Kil- aay, charged with assisting in op- erating the still.

Injection of international policies served for a time to detract attention from the major issue of the assem- bly—the struggle between the liberals and the ultraconservatives over evo- lution. Wiliam Jennings Bryan, leader of the ultra-conseryative group, proclaiming he would fight to have the “heretics of the church brought to task,’ went to St. Louis tonight to make an address, He will be back in’ Indianapolis early Bunday morning to continue the campa'gn which he will wage against “the brute doctrine of evolution” and “other heresies,” Dr. ‘Charles Wishart. moderator, after taking a firm stand with the MUberalist group, declined to become involved in further controversy, The caso of D, Harry Emeson Fosdick will be the proposition on which the two forces will fight it out. Dr. Fon-| dick, a Baptist, occupyng the pulp't| of the First Presbyterian church in New York, drew the fire of the ultra- conservatives by sermon in which it was charged that he questioned the virgin birth of Christ. The Philadelphia presbytery has presented an overture to the commit- tee of bills and ovetures asking that | the New York presbytery be request: ed to prevent “unorthodox” sermons from being preached in its pulpit, The New York presbytery feels that it is thoroughly capable of adm'n- istering its own discipline whenever necessary and a minority report of the Philadelph’a presbytery declared that the Phiiadetphia presbytery should put its own house in order be- fore aiding neighbors in “cleaning the temple.” No More Boxing Bouts for Chi., Police Promise CHICAGO, May 19,—(Un'ted Press) Boxing contesta to which admission is charged will pot be allowed in Chl cago in the future, Chief of Police Collins announeed today, The announcement followed an opinion from the corporation eoun- set's office, that such contests and hibitiong are in violation of an} State law | xing shows heid army and navy training quarters here will not} ke affected, Collins said, after | TWO ARRESTED | ed en charges of five other murders BY CAMILLO CIANFARRA United Pre’s Staff Correspondent.

Echoes of a romance broken many years ago when Mrs, Les was divorced from H. D. Lee, Kan- sas City millionaire were heard at the sales.

A quart jar of jewelry, set with diamonds and other precious stones, two tons of candy, some of it so old it bears the inscription “vote for Grant.” Forty ovens for gas stoves, and 25 vacuum cleaners.
