OMAHA 15 WINNER OF §333Z5 DERBY 50,000 See Kentucky Turf Classic Run Under Dreary Conditions. (Continued From First Page.) sturdy son of Gallant Fox and Flam- bino, winner of only $3.850 as a two- * year-old, collected $39,525 net for his first three-year-old conquest. The race carried a gross value of $49,950, of which $6,000 went to Roman Sol- dier, $3.,000 to Whiskolo and $1,000 to Nellie Flag. Roman Soldier, backed so heavily that the black colt went to the bar- rier third choice, returned $6.40 to place and $4.20 to show in the mu- tuels. Whiskolo's show price was $3.40. \ Interference at two early stages of | the race proved costly to the chances | of Nellie Flag, the tempermental mlv‘ which displaced Today as the favorite | overnight after it developed the | popular C. V. Whitney colt had | pulled up a trifile lame, with a heel | bruise. Nellie Flag would have re- turned only $3.80 on the dollar if| ehe had shown the way home to her gentleman rivals, but she was never able to gain a contending position | after being bumped around impo- litely at the start. Filly Jammed at Start. It was no day for certainty, eny- way, and the colts showed no dis- position to adopt chivalrous methods | and “see Nellie home” the way they | did the filly's dam, Nellie Morse, in the 1924 Preakness. Nellie Flag suf- | fered sharp interference from Plfil, Eye, carrying the colors of Mrs. Payne Whitney's Greentree Stable, soon | after the start as the big field seemed | almost to converge, funnel-like, for the | first run down the stretch. The Calumet miss again was im peded, rounding the first turn, and Jockey Eddie Arcaro was unable to get his charge out of close quarters | until the last quarter. It was then too late for Nellie to do anything about the situation, winging along fully seven lengths| ahead. but she finished gamely to| land the last money position. ‘Whether or not Today suffered the effects of his foot injury. of either kicking or stepping on some object in yesterday's workout, the {ll-fated Whitney entry never showed anything like the form that carried him to triumph a week ago in the Wood Memorial at Jamaica track. Todey started well, escaping inter- ference, but began to fade on the backstretch and weakened badly in the stretch, finishing a full brassie shot behind Omaha. Second Blow for Whitney. It was another severe jolt for the son of Harry Payne Whitney. The youthful scion of the famous racing family was bitterly disappcinted in 1931, when the renowned Equipoise was scratched on the day of the Derby, won that vear by Twenty Grand. ‘Today was apparently primed to make a front running bid for this year's big prize, but an accident again frustrated the hopes of his owner, C. V. Whitney. Equally disappointing, but for less | apparent reasons, were the perform-| ances of Plat Eve, Commonwealth and | Boxthorn, all well backed in the bet- ting, whereas Roman Soldier and | ‘Whiskolo, along with the lightly re- | garded Psychic Bid, exceeded pre\k)us“ expectations by running well all the way. | It took Starter Bill Hamilton only two and a half minutes to get the big | field—four short of the Derby-record— lined up and away to the echoing roar of “They're off ! It required even | less than that for Omaha to demon- strate his superiority over the others. The son of Gallant Fox negotiated the | mile and a quarter in 2 minutes 5| seconds, good, buf mot brilliant by comparison with Twenty Grand's| Derby mark of 2:0145, Well Back at Start. Omaha, as well as Roman Soldier. | ridden by L. Balaski, benefited from being steered clear of early inter-| ference, Passing the judges’ stand | for the first time, Plat Eye had taken the pace-setting position from St. Bernard, with Boxthorn and Psychic Bid next, Omaha ninth and Roman Soldier eleventh. Boxthorn moved into second place, behind Plat Eye, at the half mile mark, with Whopper running third, Psychic Bid fourth, Omaha coming up to fifth and Roman Soldier now eighth, closely following Today and Nellie Flag. In the long run down the back stretch Saunders made his first real move with Omaha, and the son of Gallant Fox responded, taking the lead and quickly opening & gap of two lengths, with Whiskolo passing the faltering Plat Eye to take second | position, and Roman Soldier fourth. At the turn into the last stretch | Omaha was a good length and a half in front of the oncoming Roman Sol- dier. The crowd roared mightily as the black colt then came up to Oma- ha's flanks and, for a few seconds, eppeared capable of making it a close finishing drive. However, the Wood- ward star still had plenty in reserve and moved away again in the last sixteenth. Whiskolo meanwhile was unable to match Roman Soldier's fin- ish, but hung on gamely to lead Nellie home. with the rest of the field well spread out. ‘The complete order of finish, show: ing the margins separating the horses, follows: Omaha, first by a length and a half; second, Roman Soldier, four lengths; third, Whiskolo, length and & half: fourth Nellie Flag, head; fifth, Blackdirder, two lengths; sixth, Psychic Bid, four lengths; seventh, SPECIAL NOT! {~WIIL NOT BE RE: gebts except those contracted by my; Burtonsville,_ Md WANT 'r sm ) SHARES CITY BANK What am I offered?

I thought all along he would win the Derby.” “What horse in the race had you worried most?” he was asked. “Today,” he said with a big grin.

CHICAGO, May 4 (#).—The “Rover Boys of Randolph Street,” as the horse players who frequent the town’s gay alley are called, heard that today was Derby day, but they couldn't do a thing about it. There was moaning and wailing, and “the boys” prowled the Rialto with long faces. The lid on gambling stayed tightly clamped.

By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, May 4.—An asser- tion that an “unholy alliance” exists between Senate “old line Republicans and radicals” to harass the adminis- tration was made tonight in a G. O. P.-New Deal debate by Senator Robinson, the Democratic floor leader. Hitting back at recent Republican criticisms and contending the United States “is well on the road to indus- trial recovery,” the Arkansas Senator spoke after Senator Dickinson, Repub- lican, of Iowa, earlier had opened the two-man debate before the same meet- ing with an assertion that under Roosevelt the people had “lost their sense of security.” The Iowa Republican, mentioned by some as a possible Presidential candi- ;dat-, contended that confidence had | ben lost because of “indecisive” ad- | ministration policies being directed | by men “who were in kev positions of the Progressive, Socialist party of 1924 Addressing a group he labeled as | the “amen corner.” Robinson said Re- publican standpatters in the Senate had “given counsel and encourage- ment to reckless and bitter attacks by radicals on the administration and the President in the hope of embar- rassing the former and diminishing the popularity of the latter.” “Strange Remedies” Seen.

This unholy alliance dem- | onstrates the extremity in which those who seek to revive the anaemic old | elephant find themselves. Realizing | that their patient is dangerously ill, | Republican healers are resorting to | strange remedies and practices.” Referring to recent G. O. P. plans for regional meetings to discuss party strategy, Robinson said these were “manifestly to postpone the internal conflicts certain to result from efforts at country-wide co-ordination.” “To f{llustrate.” he continued, “that wing of the Republican party led by the Senator from Idaho. Mr. Borah, will find great difficulty in agreeing on anvthing with that other headed by the Senator from Mr. Dickinson, and the Senator from Delaware, Mr., Hastings.” “Confusion Increases.” In speaking of “New Deal de- velopments,” Dickinson had asserted that “because of Government Inter- ference in industry, in finance and in agriculture, we find that con- fusion has increased and confidence diminished.” The white-haired Iowan said de- spite that $17.500,000,000 had been expended in experimentation. relief rolls had increased. finances become uncertain and banks were “gorged with Federal securities.” Contending the National Confer- ence for Progressive Political Action. which nominated the late Senator La Follette for President in 1924, was an outgrowth of a Socialist party | move, Dickinson said its platform was similar to policies now being followed by President Roosevelt. The chairman of that convention's Resolutions _Committee was ‘“nons other than Donald R. Richberg, now | ‘assistant President of the United | States,” " he said. Others prominent in that movement he listed as Basil Manly, now a member of the Federal Power Commission: Sidney Hillman, Consumers’ Advisory Board of N. R. A.: Prederic C. Howe, consumers’ counsel of A. A. A; J. A. Franklin and Rose Schneiderman, members of the N. R. A. Labor Advisory Board: A. A. Berle, jr, an original member of the “brain trust,” and Rexford G. Tugwell, Undersecretary of Agri- culture “This is why many of our Dem- ocratic leaders are supporting the ‘New Deal’ with lip service only,” he asserted. “Through the influence of the Socialist group now holding posi- tions in the present administration, Roosevelt has directed the program of the Democratic party toward socialistic reform.” TERMITES (Flying Ants) OUR POLICY Good Work—Honest Information | Satisfied Customers. | || Free Insvection, Guaranteed Treatment TERMITE CONTROL CO.
