BRADLEY HORSES i CAUSE COMMENT j _ 'Bubbling Over And BaggenI baggage Sweep Field In Kentucky Derby 'l Louisville, Ky., May 17—(United 1 Prd-is)—With most of the eastern ! three-year-olds on their way in privI ate box cars to their home stables ' today, the double victory of Col. E. R. Bradley in Saturday’s Kentucky derby is still the talk of the blner 1 grass country. I I Bubbling Over and Bagenhaggage, I which finished one two as the Brad1, ley entry brought their owner more 5 j than $56,000 in purse money but I turf enthusiasts are speculating as to how much more the Kentucky colonel won on wagers. 5 1 While the odds in the pari-mutuels ’.were less than 2 to 1 on the winner, s it is considered probable that Colonel Bradley placed heavy bets in the : winter hooks and may have “cleaned ' up" as notch as $250,000. ! l A story gaing the rounds since Sat- ’ j urday evening is that Mrs. Bradley, • who died in Shanghai last January, accurately predicted the finish of the derby. She told her husband that Bubbling Over and Bagenbaggsge ’ would sweep the field as the Bradley horses, Behave Yourself and Black b Servant did in 1921. Mrs. Bradley named Bubbling Over and lie was her pet, but she did not live to see l his triumph. i| More than $2,000,000, was bet in •’the mittuel machines Saturday and ; of this almost $700,000 went on the derby. , 0 !

Walker Cup Team Breaks Even With British 1 Rye, Enfllnndfi May 17.—(United 1 Press) —Members of the American , Walker cup team broke even in four ; two-some matches with British ama- ! tears of the Oxford-Cambridge golf- ■ ing society today. The two victories, added to three obtained yesterday in four-some play, gave the Americans supremacy by five matches to three. In reality, the I score was 6t03 in favor of the invaders, since two Americans not members of the Walker cup team, also won a foursome match yesterday. Result of today's four matches (follow: Francis Ouimet And Jess Guilford defeated R. H. Wethered and Cyrill Tolley, one up. Watts Gunn and Bobby Jones defeated J. B. Beck and R. B. Powell, 5 and 3.

Five years the Babe got his 13th circuit clout in the Yankees 33rd game. This year he has 12 to 28 Thus, without recourse ,t;o higher mathematics, it is evident that he stands in a fairway to outdo his former mark. The return of Babe Ruth is complete. Last year ho was a pale and uninteresting invalid with a penchant for staying out long after the curfew had sounded its warning blasts. This year he Is in splendid condition and ' his adopted regular hours. | He has acquired not only 12 horn,ers, but is the leading run scorer in both leagues. The second leading hitter in the American league and the leader in runs batted in. «, o YESTERDAY’S RESULTS National League Cincinnati, 3; New York, 2. Chicago, 10; Philadelphia, 9.

The dirigiI ble was becoming heavy from a leak- | age of gas, ; Arctic winds forced the Norge to 1 circle over the hamlet for two and a half hours. As the gale abated momentarily, an anchor was dropped. The villagers heaved on-the anchor lines. To direct the mooring work Sergeant Ettore Arduino descended by parachute. As Nome opened its arms yesterday to the members of the expedition, the explorers explained the delays which had puzzled those waiting to welcome them. Four members of the expedition said it would have been impossible to continue the flight to this point. They said the chief obstacle was the leakage of gas. Flying ice from the propellers had cut the fabric about the bags, as the ship passed over the
