NEW KENTUCKY ! DERBY THREAT l Dellor Is Latest Threat To Favorites In Annual Derby Louisville Ky.. May 5 (U.R)—A i ! new Kentucky derby threat was i I seen today In J. W. Parrish's j Dellor, surprise winner of the . del trial purse over 10 other iderby eligible* at Churchill Downs.' The brown-skinned son of Roll-1 ed Stocking-Gossip Avenue upset ’the highly favored Milky Way. farm's Reaping Reward and Military, covering the one mile in 1:38 1-5 over a slow track yester-[ <lay. It was a noteworthy victory ‘in that Dellor came from liehind in the stretch and won by a full I length from Reaping Reward. Six lenghts farther behind came I. J. Collins' Bernard F. and Military a head away. Size of the derby starting field , began to take a more accurate form today, and it appeared no more than 18 or 19 would go to I the post for the 63rd running of the $50,000 added classic next Saturday. Outside of the first four finishers in the derby trial, none performed well enough yesterday to rate a starting berth. If this holds I true Gerald. No Sir. Main Man, Lakeview, Josh. Albubble, Gosum and Galsum will not be in the | parade to the post Saturday. War Admiral further entrenched himself as favorite to win America's premier horse race yesterday by breezing the full derby route of 1% miles in 2:08 3-5. Shading War Admiral's time, but not going as easily was Fairy Hill who covered the same distance in 2:08.

I much of it by the colonel's friynds I. . . and he had a SIO,OOO bet witli i Jerry Louehein that Brooklyn I would heat Pompoon — if both j horses started and at least one ; finished in the money . . . the money bet in the winter books on I Brooklyn is gone now ... so I j guess the colonel figured those I who bet on his horse wouldn't win anyway and, rather than give them la losing run for their money, withdrew his entry so he could save j himself ten grand . . . Old George Godfrey, now 40 and holder of the international boxing union heavyweight title, is training for a comeback on the Pacific > coast . . . California has a young golfer named Clara Callender who htey think is going places . . . she's 17, is a high school student i in Safi Francisco and hits a ball , so far, says Will Connolly of the ( Sati Francisco Chronicle, that ' ‘‘the resident male club members , retire sheepishly to the bar and ! talk of less vulnerable subjects." If either Sunset Trail II or Galsun come home in front Saturday down in Louisville, Jack Kyne, coast bookmaster, will get clipped for plenty . . . heavy betting on those entries threw his books out of | line . . . Nine million persons in this country are bowling addicts. In case you're interested . . . Tony Canzoneri is due to whip Lou Ambers this Friday for the lightweight crown . . .
