SENIOR LEAGUE PENNANT RACE LOOMING CLOSE [•'our Favorites Showing Class As Brooklyn Dodgers Slip New York. May 6.- (U.R) - The National league pennant race began to shape up today along lines! foreseen by pre-season prophets, j with the Giants. Cubs, Cards, and Pirates drawing cToser together as rhe Dodgers continue their skid. 1 The Dodgers have been buzzing around the top since the start of the race, but their second straight ' defeat • by the Pirates yesterday ( saw them slip another notch in an: exchange of second and third places "With the idle Cubs. The Cubs, now moving forward | under a full steam after an erratic; start, went to the Pd7o grounds in an attempt to wrest first place from the Giants in three games, while the Cardinals opened at Brooklyn in position to pull into a third place tie with the Dodgers by nightfall. If the Dpdgers should revert to the form that put them on top fori so long they might climb back into! second place, but they indicated no return of vtciousness yesterday. Guy Bush, the Mississippi mudcat who was suspended last week for fighting at Chicago, celebrated ; him return to a Pirate uniform by ( holding the Dodgers to eight hits in beating them, 9 to 2. Arky Vaughan, Pirate shortstop, hit his second home run in two days in the first inning with two mates aboard. With that lead to work on. Bush remained master over Watson Clark, beaten after three straight victories. Dazzy Vance, and Leslie Munns. The Giants and Reds played 10 innings into a rainstorm and finished 2 to 2. Mel OTt cracked his seventh homer to gain the major league lead. Hafey h*t one for the: Rods. Dizzy Dean and Babe Ruth locked up for the first time and Dizzy wan their hero all the way. He spaced 10 hits to shut out the Braves,~7 to 0. hit a home run. and never gave the Babe anything that ; looked like a safety in his three trips. Dizzy's homer came in the 1 second when Terry Moore also belted one in the Cards’ six-run up- . rising that drove Ed Brandt to the showers. In contrast to the National league, the American battlefield is a scramble, dominated by the Chicago White Sox. leading on a won and lost basis, but second to Cleve-1

OMAHA WINNER ANNUAL DERBY Banker Woodward’s Horse Wins Kentucky Derby Saturday Louisville. Ky„ May 6 (U.R) A . lotta boss. Not very elegantly put, nd; nor very technical. Vet, a "lotta hoss" is a pretty apt description of Omaha. That big chestnut fellow who came arocking down the stretch at Churchill Downs Saturday to win the 61st tuning of the Kentucky derby. He isn't the prettiest horse you ever saw, nor even next to the ! prettiest. When the band started ! playing “My Old Kentucky Home” •Saturday and the field walked I slowly out on the track for the | parade. Omaha was not among ■ those who caught your eye. No, I you found yourself watching Boxl thorn, the Bradley baby who steppied with those dainty, mincing (strides: Roman Soldier, black as half past twelve and shiny as a new dime: Today, trim as a West Pointer; Nellie flag, the sweet , coquette from CZT.met; or Comi monwealth, smooth as silk and I graceful as a painting. . Omaha is big. awkward and I gangling and handles himself like I one of these growing-up boys who ( is all arms and legs and neck. He's not much to look at just a-walklng i around or backing and bucking ( , into the starting gate. But breth- ■ ren and sister’n, he's the prettiest | sight running you ever laid your eyes on. And that goes double when a ten-dollar bill right out of I your pocket is riding along with him. If yon had seen him make his bid in the long turn that leads into the home stretch on Saturday you’d know the sort of prettiness I’m talking about. There he was, beating along behind the leaders, with the finish line just three-eighths of a mile away. Then Jockey Saunders decided it was time to let him go: time to show those fancy running fellows up front a little real, honest-to?goodness running. He gave him a cluck —or a pat or something—and Omalia. stretching out those big. gangling legs of his for the first time, started to roll. He started to roll on down to that judges' stand and the pay-off ■ window. A couple of bangs of those big feet of his and he was up there breathing on the flanks of the leaders. Plat Eye and Boxthorn. Another stride and he lookI ed them in the eye. and you could imagine him saying: "Howdy, boys, and how does that 126 pounds feel now —a little heavy? Getting a bit weary hi the joints? Well. I'll be seeing you back in the barn." Honestly, he must have said something discouraging like that for Plat Eye and Boxthorn, the latter with all Kentucky trying to root him home, folded up like old opera hats. They apparently just couldn’t stand the sight of Omaha shouldering that 126 pounds like it was a lump of sugar, and running like a runaway freight. o Town Hac Three Postmasters Action, Miss- —(UP—If nothing else, this little township can (boast of being different in the respect.
