LEXINGTON, Ky. April 24.—The moot question whether the Bahr electric starting gate would be used in the Kentucky Derby was be- lieved by some horsemen today to have been answered by these de- velopments: 1. Announcement by Hal Price Headley, president of Keeneland Association, Blue Grass Stakes, a Derby prep, would be started tomorrow from the new Bahr gate, but that the doors would be left open and the old bell starting signal method used. (The bell signal is used in the Derby.) 2. Disclosure that William Hurley, trainer of Bimelech, Derby winter- book favorite and a likely starter in the Blue Grass, had asked Keene- land authorities to use the old method of starting. Col. Winn Is Undecided. Col. Matt J. Winn, generalissimo at Churchill Downs, said in Louis- ville he had not decided whether the new Bahr gate would be used in the Derby. It was understood that several horsemen had objected to its use in the May 4 classic. Headley explained the electric fea- ture of the new gate would not be used in the $5,000 added Blue Grass, closing day feature at Keeneland, as he wanted to avoid the possibility of a horse being left at the post by failure of a door to open. The new gate has been used in all races at Keeneland and there have been no mishaps. Meantime it was indicated the Blue Grass might develop in an unscheduled “match” race between two prime Derby candidates—Col. E. R. Bradley’s unbeaten Bimelech and Joseph E. Widener's Roman, which last week vanquished two Derby eligibles. Only Two Certain Starters. “Big Bim” and Roman appeaxed to be the only certain starters in the Keeneland fixture with Bashful | Duck, another Bradley-B, a third possibility, In event of a two-horse battle the winner would get a net ot $5,325 and the loser a net of $1,665. | Col. Winn said in a statement yesterday he had been studying the new gate and “if the people new | that the field in the | By R. R. TAYNTON. 8tar Staff Correspondent. RICHMOND, Va., April 2¢—John- ny Kimes came to the Virginia Kennel Club dog show yesterday, saw and conquered. His parti-color cocker, American type, Ch. the Great Pilot of Wirehaven, entered for spe- cials only in the largest class of cocker spaniels ever to be shown at this fixture, topped as fine a lot of American cockers as has been seen in these parts for many years. He was then pitted against the cream of the English variety, Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge's imported Giralda Colourful of Ware, handled by the | maestro of Morris and Essex, Mac Halley, and the much-touted import bowed to the little dog from Silver Spring. Vinton Breese, the popular all- ‘rounder who made the decision, said the Pilot scored because he is beautifully balanced, in most won- | derful coat and condition and, above |all, moved and showed with such Local Dogs Score. It was a big day for dogs from | the Capital area. Marguerite Jones, also from Silver Spring, took the miniature schnauzer puppy, Minquas Bimelech, along for the ride. She was overjoyed when he came out of the puppy class with a blue ribbon, defeating a very nice young- ster. Her gratification when he came out of the winners’ class with the purple needed to be witnessed to be believed. Frank A. Habicht made another outstanding win for the Washington area when his Ch. Russell's Choice’s Double took best of breed over a | large entry, including several cham- ! pions. His kennel mate, Russell's | Myra's Quarter, was second in the | American-bred dog class and Rus- sell's Princess Tiny Tot was third |1n the American-bred bitch class. | Those benighted people who think | that everyvthing about the dog show |Jife is fun and joy, and who envy | the professional handlers who ap- | parently make very good livings out of just playing with the dogs, might merry grace that he was irresistible, | ?Kimes’ Cocker Spaniel Is Tops At Richmond as Other D. C. Area Dogs Gain Honors get a different slant on the situa- tion if they could have accompanied some of the handlers on the drive from Norfolk to Richmond. - A Dog Show Life, The trek from Norfolk started at 10:30. It was preceded by the loading of from 8 to 20 crates of dogs for each handler, Each crate had to be carried by hand down a long and wobbly iron ladder. The run was supposed to be made in time to get the dogs exercised, fed, watered and settled for the night so they woud be fresh for the morn= ing’s showing. Two of the handlers encountered blowouts on the trip. One ran out of gas. At least five trucks missed the turning at Peters- burg. Two of them drove 25 miles out of the way and three did not discover their mistake until they were almost at the North Carolina line. But all handlers and their dogs | were present and accounted for at | the mosque in Richmond by 5 o'clock in the morning. Dogs were duly fed, watered and exercised.
