Ky, April 14— Doubters are beginning to be- lieve J. C. Milam has pulled one | out of the hat in his efforts to | present the winner of the 1933 Ken- tucky Derby at Churchill Downs May 6. Captain Red, his nominee for the $50,000 added stake, scored a hollow four-length victory over Scream yes< two races at the Lexington meeting. | This gelding, which trilumphed Mon- day over the same class of fleld, won his only start as a juvenile at Dade Park. Campaigning at Tropical Park this Winter, he ran fourth and third in two races, but triumphed in his third start. His two victories at Lexington gave him a record of four wins out of six starts, an excellent mark for mahy horses to shoot at. His longest route | was 7 furlongs at Tropical, and he won | this race by five lengths. True, the Derby distance is a mile and a quarter, and the Derby weight is 126 lpg;mds, te.:d campnrehc‘i. to his impost of yesterday, so Derby prospects depend on the showing he can make in races or workouts over long dis- tances under weight. 'NCLE DONALD, K. N. Gilpin's Derby eligible, ran fourth in the race won by Captain Red yesterday. | The only Derby nominee on today's card was Long John, candidate of the Lloyd brothers, a maiden which ran second to After Dark in a futurity course sprint Tuesday. Today's race is at a mile and 70 yards. Laffoon & Yeiser's eligible, Shep- herd Boy, worked a mile under stout restraint yesterday at Louisville, in 1:4325. Lon Jones’ Fair Rochester worked three-quarters in 1:14 4-5 breezing. At Lexington, Roaul Walsh's candiate, Unswept, a gelding, worked a mile in 1:5725 driving. D. C, BOY ON DUKE NINE. DURHAM, N. C.

But the important thing is that Mr. Mack is going to run out ofpitchers. Five of his young men have tried to tuck’ their fingers in the dyke to stop the flow of Cronin runs without suc- cess, leaving only the Messrs. Walberg and Grove of the five remaining hurlers as being likely to do any sort of stop- ping at all against the Nationals in today's final. If the Athletics are to depend upon hurling to stop the Washingtons and overhaul the Yanks the first two combats of the season indicate that either the Elephant hurlers went stale at training camp, broke away from post under form or met an um vicious batting attack. I concede that Mr. McGillicuddy has a terrific problem in filling the ers with a trio of youngsters, No matter how much ability the youngsters have, they do the polish in a pinch or situation held by Dykes, Simmons and | Haas.

HE major leagues, having laid aside the opening-day trappings and settled down to the long march through the 154-game schedule that leads to the world series, the batters in several important sectors won- dered just what they can do about the kind of pitching that was being sent at them. Fine weather, following the dismal start in the East, allowed all the clubs but the Boston Braves and New York Giants to get into action yesterday, adding some 48,000 fans to the attend~ ance list for the inaugurals, A snow- covered field at Boston delayed the Giant-Brave contest another day. The world champion New York Yankees attracted more than 36,000 to their opening triumph over the Bos- ton Red Sox and they treated the customers to a typical Yankee victory as a booming drive by Lou Gehrig in the first inning dropped into the bleach- ers for a home run with two on base.
