OUISVILLE, Ky, May 6—"I knew Broker's Tip had it won three-eighths from the finish,” was the way a modest, unassuming rider, Don Meade, told of his vic- tory astride Broker's Tip in the Kentucky Derby today. The youth was considerably flus- tered when questioned. as he had just been subjected to fisticufls by a ragingly disappointed jockey who claimed Meade had fouled him dur- ing the race. Meade, who has been riding for four years, the last year for Col. Bradley, left high school at Ventura, Calif., to answer the call' of the turf. He was born in South Dakota. NELSON, CUB RELIEF HURLER, WINS GAME in Thirteenth That Nets Deciding Runs, 9-6. By the Associated Press. OSTON, May 6.—Lynn Nelson, rookie right-hand pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, was the “big shot” today as the National League cham- plons came through in the thirteenth inning to defeat the Braves, 9 to 6. It was the second extra-inning con- test between the teams in as many days, Boston winning in 11 frames yesterday. Nelson took the hill in the eighth in- ning after Pat Malone had been pound- ed rather freely and Guy Bush had al- lowed a run in the seventh. In the remaining six frames Nelson subdued the Braves with two hits and finally he started the rally that won his own game by clouting a doublt to open the thirteenth. Frank Demaree singled to send Nel- son was passed to crowd the corners. Woody English, who had hit three times in the earlier innings, came through with his fourth single to drive in two runs. Stephenson took Charley O, Florida Derby winner and | also strongly backed by Western horse- | men, paid only $3.84 to show. | The distribution of consolation money | out of the aggregate net purse of $58,- | 925 gave $6,000 to Headplay, $3,000 to | Charley O and $1,000 to Ladysman. | Although the fifty - ninth Derby | turned out to be a surprising two-horse | race, in which the winner's time of | 2:06 4-5 was 5 seconds short of the| record, it developed enough thrills in | the stretch duel to leave most of the onlookers gasping with excitement, mixed with some doubt as a result of riding tactics which led to Jockey | Fisher, on Headplay, twice raising his | whip to strike his rival, Meade. Weather and track conditions, as well as stable strategy, reduced the orig- | § inal entry of 22 3-year-olds to 13 by post time. Satisfied with Broker’s Tip, Col. Bradley’s trainer, “Dick” Thomp- | son, scratched the other two Idle Hour entries, Boilermaker and Fingal, and they had no cause for regrets after it ‘was all over. The colt that raced only four times as a 2-year-old and only once this season, failing to win in any start, was literally and figuratively the real “dark horse” of the Derby. Head Play was among the most fractious at the barrier, contributing to | § a delay of eight minutes before the fleld ‘was turned loose for the first run down | Nelsor the stretch, in front of the grandstands. Isaiah, the speedy, black colt, bolted to the front, closely followed by Good Advice, Head Play, Kerry Patch, Dark Winter and Ladysman, in that order. Going into the back stretch, Head Play took command and quickly drew out into a lead of a length and a half | over Charley O, with Broker’s Tip fast | moving into a contending position, along with Kerry Patch and Ladysman. Going around the last turn, it looked as though Charley O, hard-ridden, had the only chance to catch the pace-setter, & bright splotch of orange marking his | bobbing jockey. Broker’s Tip Trailing. Broker’s Tip was a length behind Head Play and trailing Charley O by another half length as they straightened out for the last drive. It was soon evident that the Bradley horse, responding to every urge, had plenty of reserve. A quarter mile from | the finish, Broker’s Tip passed the tir- ing Charley O and closed quickly in & struggle with Head Play, with Fisher and Meade both using their whips furi- ously. It looked as though they were locked together, the dark Bradley horse on the inside, the chestnut Head Play on the outside, both close to the rail. At least twice Fisher was seen to lash out as he sought to lift his horse ahead or break loose from the deadlock. They were still so close together as they g::sed the finish that it might have n a dead heat, or a victory for either colt, 50 far as most chservers were con- cerned. | So rigidly, too, were all eves focused on this battle that the plight of the highly regarded Charley O and Ladys- man was completely overlooked. They ‘were out of the picture. Ladysman had no interference, being on the cutside most of the way, but simply did not have the stuff for the final drive, as many critics beforehand had anticipated. One of the biggest disappointments was Mr. Khayyam, the popular son of Omar Khayyam, winner | of the 1917 derby. Mr. Khayyam always | 'was far back and finished eighth. Ladysman's stablemate, Pomponius, €losed a big gap to land fifth place and so did Spicson, sixth to finish. The ofhers, in order, were: Seventh, Kerry Patch; eighth, Mr. Khayyam; ninth, : tenth, Strideaway; venth, Dark Winter, and twelfth, Isaiah. The thirteenth starter, Good Advice, pulled up at the three-quarters. DERBY—$50.000 addedm 3-year-olds: colts, ff 5:18. Winne KENTUCKY Start good: won driving. Went 510: iack Toney-Forterese.

Twin Bill Grind Starts Early For Griffs; Old Pal Marberry May Be Enemy on Slab Today By & Btaft Correspondent of The Star. ETROIT, May 6.—Double- headers start early for the Nationals this season. One is due here tomorrow with the Cronin crew and the Tigers playing off their Friday postponement. This early scheduling of bargain bills was made possible by the American League’s revision last December of the rule which had banned play-offs during & first series between clubs. Manager Cronin says he will send Walter Stewart and Monte Weaver to the pitching hill for the Sunday clashes. The Nationals may face their cld pal, Fred Marberry, in one of the games. Manager Bucky Harris also has School-boy Rowe, the tall youngster, ready for duty.

Colo., stroking the varsity for the first time, trafled Rusty Callow’s Pennsylvania eight by anywhere from a fraction at the start to a length at the three-quar- ter-mile mark.

Garnsey made his first bid coming up to the mile mark. Just s slight lifting of the stroke to 34 brought his crew charging up even with Pennsylvania's shell. But Yale fell back when Jordan lifted the beat to 34 and Penn had a full length margin at a mile and a half.

By the Associated Press. NNAPOLIS, Md, May 6—Row- ing brilliantly in almost record time, Navy's varsity crew came from behind to defeat Cornell’s | eight in their brush over the choppy Severn River here today. ’ After trailing by half a length for the first mile, the midshipmen chal- !lenged in the last half mile, came | abreast with but a quarter of a mile left | and pulled ahead to win by one-fourth of a length. The Navy time was 7 minutes 38 sec- |onds, which came within 8 seconds of | equaling the record set by Harvard's crew in 1917. N a preliminary brush the Navy plebes lost to Cornell's freshmen by ‘ two lengths, after Richard Gray, plebe stroke, caught a crab and threw | the crew off its stride. The Cornell | time was 7 minutes 56 seconds. | _The varsity event was rowed between showers over the lilac-bordered Severn. The weather had threatened all day and a light drizzle set in during the freshman event. The drizzle changed | to a downpour, but just before the time | for the varsity race the rain stopped entirely. The wind was negligible, but the water was choppy. | Navy's time was considered remark- | | able since Harvard had a heavy wind |and tide to aid in setting the record | mark, whereas the water today made rowing difficult.

BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, May 6.—Showers of hits instead of rain fell on Navin Field today, with the Nationals producing the heavier showering in spots to wash away the Tigers in the 6-to- 2 flood. Each side cracked out a dozen safeties of assorted sizes, with the Cronin crew twice getting the jump on the Harris horde in the early going by bunching blows. The first time, the Tigers came came back to tie. After the Nationals’ second clustering of clouts that resulted in the scoring of three tallies in the fourth frame. however, the game was no contest. As a result of Chicago idling, the Nationals went into a third-place tie with the White Sox, one game back of the league-leading Yankees and half in the rear of Cleveland’s Indians. As it won, the Washington club may have lost to some extent, however. In the eighth inning, Buddy Myer, second baseman, who had returned to the game only five days ago after an enforced lay- off due to his mix-up with Benny Ch2p- man of the Yankees in the battle of Griffith Stadium in the Capital early last week, was struck on the back of the head by one of Whitlow Wyatt's pitches. The blow felled Myer and he had to be carried from the field to a hospital. Although the injury was not considered serious at the time. it is feared it may prove severe enough to keep him out of action during the re- mainder of the series here. 3,500 shivering in the stands were treated to two hcme runs. One was Goslin's third of the cam- paign. It was a hoist into the bleachers | back of center field and was made off Wyatt in the seventh inning. With two out in the eighth, Hank Greenberg got hold of a fast one and lcfted the ball | over the scoreboard back of left-center | to the street beyond. | . This first engagement cof the year be- tween Washington and Detroit found opposed at the outset scuthpaw slabmen swapped by these clubs the past Winter and as it progressed Clark Griffith's judgment as a base ball trader was ipm\eu sound—for the time being any- way. Earl Whitehill, a pitcher Griffith plucked from the Tigers, was pitted against Carl Fischer, who went to the | Tigers from the Capital outfit by way of St. Louis, and Earl got all the glory. Though the Tigers failed to tap him safely in only one round, he stead- |ily grew stronger after that third in- | ning in which the home side drew up to |a tie by bunching three blows. After that, it seemed the more the Tigers got on the runway the sturdier the pictur- esque portsider became. ARL showed excellcnt control, his two passes not helping the Tigers at all and a wild pitch he cut locse not figuring in their run-making. He | was credited with only four strikeouts, but with a fine curve which he em- ployed frequently in pinches, he got the Detroit batters in such desperate situ- | ations they were ready to swing at al- most anyt] . That they did with | little effect, as their total of 10 stranded on the bases indicates. Fischer didn't last iong. He took a three-hit punishment in the second ses- slon that netted the Nationals a run, they fell upen him for four more in the fourth to take the lead for remainder cf the fray. That fourth-inning attack convinced Man- i ager Bucky Harris it wasn't Fischer's day, so Vic Sorrell was on the bill when the Washington club came up for its | fifth batting turn. He yielded nothing | more than one hit in two innings. After that. Wyatt came on to slab into the eighth round before wildness forced his retirement in favor of Art Herring. Zl)i:tt gave up Washington's last two es. OE CRONIN started the Nationals on their scoring way. He opened the second inning by bouncing a double cff the scoreboard. The boy manager moved up as Kuhel bunted a single and Bluege’s hit to deep short account- ed T{gr a run. e Tigers got this tally back in the third. Using the scoreboard for a target, Fox, new member of the Tiger cast, rified a two-bagger. Whitehill struck out Owen, but Stone and Gehr- ringer singled in succession and the home side had its tieing score. The Washington _ southpaw tightened to strike out Walker, while Greenberg's best was a cuff to the pitcher. The fourth saw Fischer take a sound lacing. With one out, Kuhel drew a pass. Bluege doubled to break the deadlock and Sewell also doubled to put over a marker. After Whitehill sacri- ficed, Myer singled to get Sewell home. Manush got a single that was wasted when Goslin looked at a third strike. The Goose’s homer, though, was the next tally for the Nationals and they chalked up their final in the eighth. Then Wyatt walked Kuhel as a starter and Bluege singled Joe to third. Sewell's hoist to the right fielder was too short to let Kuhel get home, but Bluege scampered to second as a throw went to the plate. Here Wyatt filled the bases by hitting Myer. “Then Manush walked to force across a score. Griffs’ Records . 3b.Hr.RbiPet. 0070 B i5- 2 4 koo . 9 .
