LOUISVILLE, May 14.—Ken- tucky derby winners come and go but each succeeding year sees the same old group of veteran trainers trck back to the scene of their tri- umphs of yesteryears with hopes of saddiing another winner. To Marse Henry Thompson, little master of Col. E. R. Bradley's Idle Houre stables, winning the classic lof the American turf is nothing new. ‘This year Marse Henry is going about conditioning Blue Lark- spur, the winter book favorite, with the same enthusiasm that marked his earlier triumphs. When the Idle Hour stables scored one-two in 1921 with Behave Your- self and Black Servant, the midget trainer saddled the Bradley entries. [Again in 1925, when Bubbling Over and Beggenbaggage took first and second places, it was Marse Henry iwho sent the three year olds away. American League Detroit 5; Philadelphia 3.
