A—18 Win, Lose or Draw By FRANCIS E. STAN, Star Staff Correspondent. An Old Man, a Boy and a Horse LOUISVILLE. Ky., May 4.—As these lines are written it is not yet post time for the Derby. The bands haven't even played.“My Old Kentucky Home” as the horses come onto the track. Into this beleaguered city airplanes still swoop and automobiles pour and trains cough up thousands of late-comers. Close to 80,000 people are here to hail a horse they suspect is great; but first they want to see Bimelech run around the track. This Derby today is supposed to mark the crowning achievement of another horse of destiny. Bimelech, the Kentucky colt, is backed down until he is one of the shortest-priced Derby racers of all time. Up to now Col. E. R. Bradley's prize has done everything asked of him. As & 2-year-old he was unbeaten, winning the Pimlico and Belmont Futuri- ties, and the Hopeful as well. This year, as a 3-year-old, he still was undefeated. It probably could happen only in racing. Bimelech is the Yankees of the race tracks. The rest of the field, Dit, Mioland, Pictor and the rest are the Phillies. At least, that is tantamount to what the track people claim. But 80,000 people are going to see the Yankees meet the Phillies, because it's one thing to have a race conceded before it starts and it's another to win it. Bradley Horses Never Lack for Backers This is a singular Derby. There have been topheavy favorites in the past. Johnstown was the hot horse a year ago. There have been Derby favorites backed down even more than Johnstown. But today there was not supposed to be an entry capable of knocking down Bimelech. Thus this show, which is running into its sixty-sixth year, according to the program, was to have three principals. All of the pressure was on this trio There is Col. Bradley, only racing owner in history to have tour Derby winners—Bubbling Over, Behave Yourself, Burgoo King and | Broker's Tip. The old gentleman is both old and ill now, but he has | come up with another standout in Bimelech. There are some who say | Big Bim is the best of the Bradley horses. The colonel is a Kentuckian and down this way the Hard Boots well | know it. There never has been a Bradley horse in the Derby that lacked | backers. The race crowd even has plunged heavily on the Bradley horses, whose names always start with a “B,” and in the hills the Snuffy Smiths always have found time to rest their squarr’l guns and dig into meu-1 Jeans for the price of a bet. | But great as have been Bradley horses, they never had a Bimelech before. Jockey, Sounding Like Typewriter, Is Half Cuban | ‘Who's this jockey riding Bimmy? The name on the program is F. A. | Smith, which may be familiar to the everyday racegoer. Not as familiar | 8s Workman and Gilbert and Woolf and Balaski and Flinchum, but familiar. But to most of us F. A. Smith sounds like a typewriter. The “F” is for Freddy and this youngster, who is in his mid-20s, is half Cuban. As a jockey he isn't highly rated. Indeed, before he began riding Bimelech the turf writers used to take cracks at him, and not necessarily subtle cracks, either. The kid who started riding about 10 Years ago in Havana wasn't any ball of fire in Cuba, and so he came to the States and migrated West. He worked on a ranch and, by a happy coincidence, Seabiscuit’s | trainer, Tom Smith, was on the ranch. Freddy got a job with C. S4: Howard, owner of the 'Biscuit. Then Col. Bradley took a fancy to him and signed him. One day Freddy threw a leg over a 2-year-old named | Bimelech and the combination hasn’t been beaten since. (This still is being written before post time.) Here is a principal more important, at the moment, than Col. Bradley. On the slim shoulders of this 100-pound boy rests enough money to wage a modest war. He's the fellow, little Freddy, who'll be crucified if Bimelech loses and forgotten if Bim wins. Even Man o’ War Could Lose a Race Finally, there is Bimelech himself, the third principal in the big | show of the day. People have a habit of assuming that a solid horse, which certainly is Bimelech at this writing, isn't subjected to moods and quirks. Solid horses have lost in the past in the Derby and in racing tests as important as the Derby and a good deal more reliable. Joseph E. Widener's Brevity was odds-on to win the Derby a few years ago. Brevity had cracked the track record at Hialeah during the winter season and he came to Louisville and burned up the track. He was unbeatable, everybody said, but at the barrier he almost was knocked down and after making up a world of ground and going wide he missed by a head as Bold Venture, a 20-to-1 shot, stuck it out. Not even the immortal Man o’ War was exempt. Once Man o’ War was a cinch to win the Sanford Memorial at Saratoga but he was turned sideways at the start and practically left at the post. Harry Payne ‘Whitney’s Upset bounced into the lead and won by a head as Man o' War came fast . . . but beaten. Almost All of the Cinches Have Been Beaten Sometimes the hot horses don't have to be bumped or turned around. Brevity came back and was entered in the Withers at Belmont Park. It was a mile race and all Brevity had to do, said the experts, was to get off with his fleld. He got off but a horse trained by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, White Cockade, got off, too. And White Cockade won it at 10 to 1. . War Admiral couldn't lose the match race with Seabiscuit, but he did. The great Omaha, winner of the Derby and Preakness in 1935, was unbeatable, but in the Withers a hide named Rosemont, at 8 to 1, went to the front at the start and won hands down. There never was a hotter hide than Johnstown after his Derby vic- tory a year ago. Some of our better turf experts crawled far out on the limb. One proclaimed him another Man o’ War. Another, with lips curled in a sneer, asked, “Who was Man o' War? This Johnstown is greater.” A week after the Derby Johnstown finished fifth in a six- horse field in the Preakness, a truer test than the Derby. Almost all of them have been beaten when defeat wasn't expected . . . Stagehand in the Widener Challenge Cup. . . Pompoon in the Wood Memorial . . . Pompoon, again, in the New England PFuturity . . . Gal- lent Fox in the Travers Stakes, 10 years ago . . . and hundreds of other horses a year in races that don't command the newsprint. But this is another Derby day and, forgetting the past, it's supposed to be Bimelech's day. Bimmy’s and Col. Bradley's and little Jockey F. A. Smith’s day. That's the way it was, at least, as the curtain was ready to go up. Hollingsworth Gone, Spot Open for New Griff Where to Find One Is Bucky’s Worry; Grimes Faces Indefinite Spell By BURTON HAWKINS. An acute shortage of dependable pitching ammunition prevailed among the Nats today as Presi- | Giuliani probably will become bat- tery mates, but not with Brooklyn. Al already was ticketed for the Dodgers’ Montreal farm before be- dent Clark Griffith announced the release of Al Hollingsworth, veteran southpaw obtain from Brooklyn on trial, all of which would indicate a deal is brewing whereby Washington would snare mound talent. Dependable or otherwise, Man- ager Bucky Harris now is equipped with a total of nine hurlers, and, such as they are, it hardly is ade- quate. At the present pace, which has seen Washington's starting pitcher shelled from the mound in 8 of 13 engagements, Bucky flgurefi to be yanking out generous chunks of his gray-flecked hair before the month skips into oblivion. Impressive in his debut with the Nats, when he limited the Yankees to three hits in 4 six and one-third inning relief role, Hollingsworth failed to approach that standard in subsequent starts against Phila- delphia and Detroit. By sending him back to the Dodgers Griffith retains the $7,500 purchase price of Catcher Angelo Giuliani, which was to be returned providing Hol- lingsworth made the grade here. Only Two Lefties Now With Nats. As the result of the maneuvering the 30-year-old Hollingsworth and ing sent here on 30-day trial, while Giuliani is one of four players slated to be farmed by Brooklyn to its International League proving grounds. “Hollingsworth is getting along in years, and he’s too wild to help us,” appraised Harris. “Releasing him will make room for somebody else, providing, of course, we can get somebody else.” . ‘@he Foening §Sim° Sporls Kok Dit, Mioland Get Small Backing In Big Race Field of Eight Will Start; Day Sunny, _ Track to Be Fast (Continued From First Page.) area appeared to be having no trouble, and inside the National Guardsmen, equipped with riot sticks, were instructed to handle the crowd with courtesy. The grandstand and clubhouse seating was handled by uniformed attendants with a “spiel” who cleared the reserved sections of all who couldn’t show title to box res- ervations. Meanwhile, trains, buses, planes and private automobiles brought thousands of visitors. Nothing has happened to change the opinion that Bimelech is too much horse for the others in the race. The money will be poured in on him today until he pays a ridicu- lously small price—if he wins. The second choice almost surely will be Dit, the unheralded gelding that won last week’s Wood Memo- rial, while the Coast entry, Mioland, likely will close as a strong third in the wagering. A bushel of small bets is expected to go down on both these horses, but the solid money will be riding on Bimelech when the great crowd yells “They're off.” Some Loud Dissenters. There are, of course, a few highly vocal dissenters who honestly be- lieve that Dit or Mioland will out- run the Bradley colt in that closing charge down the stretch. The riders of those two horses, in fact, are sublimely certain that they have the race between them. Come to think of it, there is something a trifle silly about mak- ing any horse the favorite that Bimelech will be today. Too many things can happen. Any horse can get a poor start or a dumb ride, or both. Not only that, but there al- ways remains the fact that the colts are being called upon today to run a little farther than they ever ran| before. Just a year ago, there was a pretty little runner named El Chico, a ball of fire as a 2-year-old sprinter and opening winter book favorite for the Derby. El Chico was a running fool in the early stages of the big race, too. But when the quarters began get- ting a little .longer over on the back stretch, El Chico turned the thing over to Johnstown. Alas, | how well some of us remember. Providing there are no further scratches before post time, the others trying to take Bimelech’s measure are Gallahadion, Pictor, Roman, Siroco and Royal Man. Siroco was due to make the effort only if the track was lightning fast. Pictor has a few staunch supporters. Ohl’sRecord Menaced By Indiana’s Cochran In Meef at Pitt Bs the Associated Press.

Roosevelt's Nine Again in Race For High School Title After Close Decision Over Tech By ROBERT HENRY. Roosevelt’s nine is back in the high school title series race after moving out of the cellar with a 6-4 win over Tech yesterday, now being tie for fifth place with Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt has had tough going this Vermillion lost a 10-inning decision to Carmel Nance of Western and soon after he dropped an 11-inning game to Wilson. But yesterday the 200-pounder got the better of a duel with Buddy Webb. Although three regular players | H were out of the line-up, the Riders managed to protect a slight lead after the third inning. In addition to pitching well, Vermillion led the winning attack with three hits and drove in two runs. . Tech’s Webb, despite a sore arm, managed to fan eight.

Ironmen Want Games Alexandria Iron Works softball Up for Kentucky Derby Power at Plate Hoists Red Sox To Loop Lead Get Four Home Runs To Beat White Sox; Bees Clip Cards By BILL WHITE, Associated Press Sports Writer. The early’ season setbacks of the Yankees, the surge of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the slow start of the stingless Boston Bees all have con- tributed in keeping any one but the immediate family interested in the condition of the Boston Red Sox. But the Cronin clouters clamored for attention yesterday on the wings of some real power displayed while whacking out a 10-inning, 9-8 vic- tory over the St. Louis Browns. The Sox collected 12 hits, but what was importnat was the fact that four of them were home runs. Jim Tabor got two, Ted Williams and Manager Joe Cronin one each. That production was one home run more than the New York Yankees could manage in their 8-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The Red Sox slugging put them into first place in the league—a posi- tion filled most of last year by their arch rivals, the Yankees. Tabor Hero of Game. Now, up Boston way at least, there is a distinct feeling that the last year contenders are going to be this year’s champions. Jim Tabor was the real hero of the game, his second homer tying the score in the ninth and his single against the left field wall with the bases loaded in the tenth bringing |in Ted Williams with the winning run. Seven pitchers toiled with Joe Heving getting credit for the wir and Johnny Whitehead getting s black mark for losing. Meanwhile, the Yankees managed to pull up to the 500 mark with a typical 8-4 victory over the White Sox. The Sox for six innings had visions of another southpaw, Edgar Smith, taming the champions, but suddenly the champs blew hot. Joe Gordon cleaned the loaded bases with a triple in the seventh and George Selkirk and Charley Keller clouted homers in the eighth. The victory gave Marvin Breuer his first big league victory, though he allowed 10 hits. Second Win for Bees. In the only other game played in the majors, the Boston Bees won their second game of the season be- hind the fine hurling and timely hitting of Bill Posedel—a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran righthander held the Cards to seven hits and started the Bees on their winning rally with a double in the sixth inning. Lon Warneke, Jack Russell and Bob Bowman shared the mound for the | Cards, allowing a total of 10 hits. 3 Rain and cold weather put a crimp | in the other contests.
