VILLE, Ky., May 14.—In the calendar shows year and Derby m the turf mnu s of the eountry ear-old colts, high mals, 1o tune that run for the fame and for. grows with each renewal v old turf classi & tens of thousands, cosmo- polites and plain people for a br moment’s thrill. Months of prepara- tion, weeks of anticipation and da 1 have brought them here to < a spectacle that will be over ninutes and a few seconds after it starts. J The prelude—the placing of bets, the trip to the paddock to see their favorite walk slowly around the in- closure, the dash for the rail or a seat somewhere in the quarter-mile long stands—will be followed by the shrill call of the bugle, announcing post time for the Derby. Crowd May Number 90,000. The thoroughbreds will prance to the post, and with a roar, “They're off?” from thousands of throats the race will be on. Down the stretch for the first quarter, around the turn to the half, down the back stretch to the three-quarters and around the last turn for the stretch drive, down the stretch and “under the wire” the calvacade will charge amid the rapidly increasing crescendo of 90,000 voices. And then the postlude—the placing of the rose wreath of victory upon the winner, the presentation of the gold cup and the horses will be re- turned to their stables. The posting of the pari-mutuel re- sults, the winding up of financial transactions, either by the tearing up of countless tickets or cashing them in, and the post-mortem will bring to & close another Derby day. A brisk shower during the first race yesterday afternoon muddied the track, but scores of wo.kmen soon were at work bailing out the standing water. Generally fair weather has been forecast for today, and the track should dry rapidly and be in good con- @ition for the race. Two or three of the 18 entries may be scratched, insuring a field of prob- ably 15 starters. Owners have the option of withdrawing their horses up to within 45 minutes of post time. The Derby is 4:40 p.m. central stand- ard time. The entries, by post poflltlon are: | Jock, Royal Julian, Saxon, Rolled Btocking, Buddy Bauel', My Son, Hydromel, Black Panther, Whlakery, Kiev, Bewithus, Osmand, Rip Rap, Bostonian, Mr. Kirkwood, Fred, Jr.: War Eagle and Scapa Flow. Whitney Entry Favorite. The H. P.

The school s divided into four divi- sions for physical training purposes and rivalry between the respective groups was keen.in the games and in the competitive march, the feature event on the program. Division B won_the march by a single point over Division A. In the preliminary marches, A eliminated Division D, while B won over Divi- sion C. The two survivors were 8o closely matched in the finals that the judges found it difficult to make a decision. Superfor posture on the part of the B group as a whole gave them the winning point. Division A won the volley ball game over the team from Division B by the score of 5 to 4. “Club snatch," played by the Blues and the Reds, teams from the intermediate depart- ment, was won by the Blues, wko scored 13 points to their opponents’ 9. Unusual skill was exhibited in the difficult Indian Club drill which closed the program. Miss Margaret Bogenreif, director of the physical education department, arranged the program, assisted by Eleanor Jones, Marjorie Schuster and Margaret Mackall. The students went through the entire program without direction. The first match was played yester- day in the Eastern High School girls* tennis tournament, Teresa Breen, tennis manager, defeating Marie Tay- lor, 6—1, 6—1, to take her place in the second round.

VOIGT of Ban- nockburn, holder of all the important sectional golf titles around _Washington, met John C. Shorey again today at the Chevy Chase Club, this time to play off a tie for low qualify- ing score. With the tournament already won by his prowess with wood and iron, Voigt also was favored to win the play-off of the tie for qualify- ing score. The two were deadlocked at 72 last Wednesday. ‘Voigt downed Shorey, 2 and 1, in the final round of the tourney yes- terday, thereby .setting up a new record for competition in the Spring tourney at Chevy Chase. Never be- fore has any golfer won the classic twice in a row. His final match with Shorey was his hardest of the tourna- ment and also his poorest round. Yes- terday he had a 4 left on the eigh- and_Bostonian, at probable odds of 6 to 5, was- indicated as the favorite, with Rolled Stocking second at 5to 1. The entry of the Idle Hour Farm, favorites last year, was quoted at 20 to 1 in the night line. “Mr. Whitney's colts already have the toon skins banging in front of their stable door, and on form I believe that they will carry the stable’s colors to victory,” sald Fred Hoskins, trainer. “If Oumud does not win I believe the evlt that beats him will get all the prize,” declared Earl Sande, rider of Osmand, Other trainers made similar predic- tions for their animals, and none had prepared an n]lbl in -dvums. HOMER HELPS TYPO NINE TO WIN, 6 TO 5 A homerun by Dalglish aided Union Printers in defeating the strong District Commissioners _nine in Gov- ernment League yesterfay, 5 to 4. ‘Webb and Cole engaged in a pitch- ing duel, with the former gaining the verdict, although the latter allowed one less hit. Jones. held the Agriculture nine to five hits yesterday and Bureau of En- Eraving won, 8 to 5, in Departmental League.

Shorey had a splendid chance to win the final, for he found a Voigt who was a little more than ragged, a Voigt who was positively shabby on the putting greens, but still: a man who fought back with the icy skill that characterizes his play. Although Shorey blew a 4-foot putt to win the short fourth he annexed the fifth to square the match, holding a 4-footer for a birdie 3, and went into the lead at the sixth when Voigt took three putts. Shorey also won the seventh when Voigt's second shot was over the green and he missed a 6-footer for a 3 Shorey stood on the eighth tee 2 up and then made a characteristic error of youth. He half missed his second shot, leaving him a long iron to the green. mashie. He pressed it and hooked , losing the hole to Voigt's ‘Then the procession started.

Voigt knew that” with thl‘ gift he had Shorey “in the bag.” For he looked careless as he played his tee shot at the twelfth. Far into a trap at the left it went and Shorey obliged by putting his ball into the trap to the right. They halved in 5s. Shorey's tee shot went into the little pot bunk- er behind the pin at the thirteenth and he lost the hole to Voigt's 3, be- coming 3 down. Match Is Prolonged. Both were trapped off the tee at the fourteenth and both played short of the guarding ditch, halving the hole in 5s. They also_halved the fif- teenth in 5s, leaving Voigt dormie 3 up. Shorey prolonged the match by sinking an 18-foot putt for a birdie 3 at the sixteenth, but the end came on the seventeenth, which they halved in 4s. As an exhibition of golf the final round was not good, but as a show of courage it was worth while. For Voigt, playing poorly and putting badly, fought back and finally forged into the.lead to win. Bye holes not played out. ‘Voigt won his way to the final by defeating Harry G. Pitt of the Manor Club, 4 and 3. Shorey was down to Miller B.

From the standpoint of the number of competitors, the Catholic High School track meet at Catholic University Stadium that was to start this afternoon. and the annual interjunior high meet that got under way early today at Eastern Stadium were the biggest events. Interesting tennis, rifle and golf contests were listed. Tech and East- ern racketers were to meet early to- day on the Sixteenth Street Reservoir courts in_their public high title match postponed from yesterday, ~Central was to entertain netmen of Mount St. Joseph's High of Baltimore and Wash- ington and Baltimore Friends School teams were to meet on the courts at the local school. Camp Sims was to be the scene this fternoon of the annual outdoor pub- lic high school individual rifle cham- pionship match, Business and Central golf teams were to come together at East Po- tomac, Bastern’s sturdy track team was at Manassas for a dual meet with Swave- ty, and Georgetown Prep base ballers had an engagement with Leonard Hall High at-Leonardtown. Western today is the lone undefeat- ed team in the public high school cham- pionship diamond race as the result of the 9-to6 12-inning victory scored by Eastern erday over Tech at Wilson Stadiu It was a hot battle from the start, with the lead constant- ly alternating. After Eastern had taken an early lead, Tech gained the edge in the sixth, but the Light Blue and White rallied in the seventh, to again shoot to the front. The Man- ual Trainers, however, were not to be denied and collected one tally each in the seventh and eighth innings to tie the score. Neither was able to score in the ninth, tenth or eleventh, but in the twelfth Harry (Beanie) M- Allister, Eastern third baseman, came through with a single that gave his team victory.

Tech's track and tennis teams and Western's ball team yesterday fell be- fore University of Maryland Fresh- men combinations at College Park. The Old Line youngsters had a rather easy time in all three events. In the ball game Maryland held a lead from the third inning. Bobby. Stevens, ‘Western’s scintillating shortsop, how- ever, was the outstanding performer on tke field. All he did was sock a homer and triple and handle cleanly 10 chances afield. Maryland’s best hitters were Hoffman, who got two triples in four times at bat, and Sul- livan, who got a trio of singles and a walk in five tries. ‘Tech gave the Old Line youngsters a smart fight in the fleld events in the track meet, scoring 251-3 points to 282-3 for their opponents, but the College Parkers showed marked su- periority on the cinders, in which they outscored the Manual Trainers, 44 to 19. Henry McDonald of Tech, scoring 11 points, was the individual star. A leap of 22 feet by White of Maryland that set a new broad jump mark for the Oid Line field and an 11-foot effort by McDonald of Tech in the pole vault were high spots. Outscoring their opponents in the singles, 4 to 1, Maryland had an easy time in the tennis clash, which the host team won, 5 to 2. Bach team captured a doubles match.

IGHT big league ball teams moved to new scenes today atter winding up fourday stands with Yvarying degrees of success. There was joy among the World Champion Cardinals as they moved on from New York to Philadelphia, for they recalled a resounding 11-to-1 walloping they administered to the league-leading Giants yesterday. By way of proving they are right on the heels of the New Yorkers in the pen- nant race the Cards piled up seven runs in the first inning and increased the lead thereafter, barely missing a shutout. Wee Willie Sherdel pitched masterful ball. 4 Al Tyson, New York outfielder, made four of the Giants’ seven hits, although he had gone to bat 36 times previously without a hit. Hafey of St. Louis, made a homer, double and single. The American League produced a game with a score almost as lopsided, in the victory of the Athletics over the Tigers at Detroit by 10 to 3. Ty Cobb punctuated this third victory out of four starts against his old teammates with a single which made it 17 suc- cessive games in which he has regis- tered at least one safe hit. Carl Mays held the Robins in sub- jection until the eighth, when. they shelled him off the mound to score five runs and take the decision from the Reds, 5 to'4. The Boston Red Sox resumed a de- termined effort to climb up among the contenders as they laced out a 7-to-) shutout against the Indians, Lundgren pitched a three-hit game and made a triple for the Carrigan clan. TRIM GIA'NTS The St. Louis Browns tried hard to halt the Yanks, but lost, 3 to 1. They' made 10 hits to the visitors’ 9, but their bats weren't getting enough distance, Defeat of the Cubs by the Phillies, 4 to 1, in the only other game played, sent them down a peg in the standing, while the Quakers went into a tie with the Pirates for third. The new deal in the National League today finds the Cards at Phila- delphia, Chicago at Boston, Pitts- burgh_at Brooklyn and Cincinnati at New York. In the other circuit the ‘Yanks play at Detroit, Boston at Chi- cago, Washington at Cleveland and Philadelphia at St. Louis. A summary of yesterday's games: AMERICAN LEAGUE.

LEVELAND, May 14.—Raln in Chicago yesterday preventing the staging of a fourth game with the White Sox, Manager Stanley Harris was enabled to revise his pitching program for the set of four tilts with the Indians, due to start here this afternoon, which has been listed as “Speaker Da; Garland Braxton, south paw was to have deserted relief become a_starting hurler yeste will remain in the emergency ranks for the time being, according to Boss Bucky. First of the pitching assign- ments in the forest city will go to Hollis Thurston, who took a licking last Tuesday in Chicago, while the second game in this town will find Horace Lisenbee on the hill for the Natlonals. Lisenbee also took a lick- ing in Chicago, his first of the season. n fact, all the Natlonals took in ago were lickings, and the three | consecutive defeats they suffered there following the loss of the last game played with the Browns in St. Louis leaves Bucky Harris and Company in fitth place just ahead of the club scheduled to be encountered this after- noon. Have Dropped 68 Points. Since they left home last week the | Nationals have dropped 68 points in winning percentage and unless they undergo a considerable form reversal in the series here and the one of four games to be played with the Tigers, they’ll return to Washington a week from Monday mugh worse off than they now are. The clubs pitching has been none too good, its attack anemic and its defense far from reliable. Maybe Thurston and Lisenbee will be more fortunate in their games here than they were in Chicago. They have done the best pitching for the club this season and with a few breaks in their favor would have won in the Windy City. Others of the mound corps have been too incon- sistent in their work to be valued highly. As everything is now, the chances are against a National vie- tory with a hurler other than Thurston or Lisenbee starting a game. Goos: Goslin, who seems to have recovered from the attack of pleurisy that put him out of commission fol- lowing the contest of Monday before last, was likely to return to the line- up in the first of the Cleveland series. When the Goose left the game, he was batting well above .400, It is likely his layoff will lessen his bat- ting strength for a time, but, at that, he should be a more potent actor in attack than most of the other Na- tionals have been recently. The Goose certainly is apt to mean more to the club's attack than did Sammy West, who assumed Goslin's left-field job and position in the hit- ting order during the entire Chicago series. West was at bat 11 times dur- ing the three engagements and got ex- actly two hits. That's clubbing for an average of only .1 A rating such as that does not help a club win ball games Since the Goose was forced from the line-up elub to wh(cmfnllv low av or the good hitting of Tris S| and Joe Judge e ably would have ture altogether. been playing splendid games afield, as well as at bat. They have kept their heads ‘up more than any other of the floundering Nation: 'his has been a especially fine season for Judge. He has been bang- ing the hall at a great rate since the beginning of the championship cam- paign, and after a long batting slump during Florida training, too. Judge's work with the flail was o poor during the training season that President Clark Griffith began to wonder whether his veteran first sacker had eve trouble. “What's the trouble up at the plate, can't you see any more, Joe?" Griff asked one day. “Don’t worry,” re- plied Joe, “I'li be all right when the bell rings.” And Judge has more than made good his promise. His hitting since the club came West has been especially effective, but more than Judge is needed to get the Nationals going properly. Reeves’ Foot Is Healing. Bob Reeves’ sore foot is healing rapidly and there is a great chancs ge, and but Ossie Bluege at third base before the is troubled a great deal by his charley- horsed right leg and probably needs much more rest than he got before returning to the line-up in Chicago. ‘When Reeves was forced by his ails, ing foot to take to the bench he’ hitter he promised to bhe when his play with the nine at Georgia Tech first attracted the attention of Scout Joe Engel. rated a real clouter, but after comi up to the pro game he failed to shine at bat until last week, when he m driving the ball far and often.
