GIANTS SCORE TENTH VICTORY IN SUCCESSION Giants Slugging Way To Victories In Early Season Games New York.

May 2.— <U.R> -He's rolling down to Louisville on a train today, and don't be surprised lif he comes rolling down the : stretch at Churchill Downs like a loose locomotive next Saturday to | , take the derby and all that goes j with it. I Fighting Fox. I mean the big bay boy of Galahad Hl and Mar- : guerite and a full brother to (Jal- ' lant Fox. He can go it. and everyI one who saw him sashay home in front of the Wood Memorial field [ I knows it.

And just taking J it nice and easy. too. Taking off his belair red and ' white domino silks hi the jockeys room Jimmy Stout gave a full < picture of how'easily the Fox had won when he said: •"I just sat up (here on him and [ enjoyed the ride.” Now we all know that the mile and 70 yards, and the 120 pounds, 1 which is the distance and the 1 weight of the wood is not the mile i and a quarter and the 126 pounds of the Bluegrass derby. That extra distance and poundage has spelled ruin to many a horse. But if you had seen the Fox at the finish line Saturday nobody would • ever be able to convince you that ■ he couldn't have picked up Paul Whiteman as relief jockey for ! Stout and gone another quarter I very likely. , He wasn't even breathing, as the , horsemen say: just coasting along . in front of such rivals as Bourbon King. Nedayr. Quick Devil. Pasti eurized. Can't Wait and Opera Hat. (i Through the glasses, the Fox appeared at his best at a point near . the far turn. Snugly held by i Stout, he was running two lengths , back of the pace-making Opera ' Hat. just biding his time. Suddenr ly Wayne Wright, the cowboy - money rider, who was up on Ned- * ayr, Willis Sharpe Klimer’s strongi ly hacked derby eligible, made a ■ run at the Fox. 1 For the only time in the race ■ Stout asked his mount to question r jockeys have been asking their horses ever since racing began. s The Fox had the answer. Given his head he turned on the " heat and went away from Nedayr 1 like a rabbit from a hound. And 1 coming down the stretch he went 1 on by Opera Hat to do the mile and 70 in 1:43. which is threep fifths of a second faster than his 0 illustrious brother did it in win- ’ ning in 1930. And Gallant Fox. I you wil Irecall, went on after the 0 Wood to achieve the triple crown s of the derby, the Preakness, and ’ the Belmont. The Fox had scarcely crossed the finish line before the price makers began chopping his winter P book odds. Today he is being II quoted at 3 to 1. which makes him co-favorite with Stagehand. It was not more than a week ago that you t could have had the Belair beauty at 7,8, and 9 to 1. Down in Louisville Saturday Earle Sande showed that Stagehand won’t be his only threat in the derby when he turned the t. chief loose. That barrel-chested >3 number came a-roaring down t>e >1 stretch to all but run over milky 14 way s mountain ridge and the 23 Woodford farm's Lawrin. 17 That should be quite a little

brush in the Bluegrass when Fight ing Fox. Stagehand. Bull Lea. t7ie Chief, and Dauber look one anoth- j er in the eye and start barrelling. ' I'm leaving today for it and I , promise to give you either the . winner or an unforgettable recipe for mint juleps. (Copyright 1938 by VP). NOPMANTHOMAS SEEKS ACTION Socialist Leader Asks Action Against Jersey City Mayor New York. May 2 ■ U.P.; Nor [ man Thomas, socialist leader who was evicted from New Jersey by police when he tried to make a May day speech, today asked the 1 department of justice to prosecute | Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City under the Lindbergh law. The law provides a death pen- ( alty. It is applicable to kidnapings that involve torture, or demands for ransom, or the transportation of a victim across a state line. > John J. Underwood, deputy police chief of Jersey City, said in his official report that Thomas on Saturday night was placed on a New York-bound ferry "for his own sake, as the crowd was becoming restless." The workers defense league joined Thomas in appeals to four government agencies. Thomas wrote letters to President Roosevelt and J. Edgar Hoover, head of the F B. 1., and he sent a telegram to Sen. Robert M. LaFollette. head of a senate committee that has been investigating violations of civil rights. He told Mr. Roosevelt that he had been kidnaped "by agents of the fascist national vice chairman of your party." He , asked Hoover "if it were possible to prosecute those responsible under the Lindbergh law." Underwood said that a crowd had gathered before Thomas arrived in an automobile. "I asked Thomas if he had a permit and he said ‘no, I don't need any,' and a large crowd immediately gathered around him. I requested that he leave as 'your loud talk causes a disturbance.' He replied 'I will talk louder and I am going through with the meeting.' I then informed him that 'if you do we will have to remove you.' He replied ‘you don't dare remove me.' I turned to the officer and told him to escort the man out of here, for his own sake as the crowd was becoming restless.” His report added. “I want the world to know that Norman Thomas is nothing more than an agent for this red communist group." —n- ■■■— Horse Dies of Heart Failure Lorain, 0.-KU.P.X— Dolly, a big bay horse, served 15 years in the shafts of a dairy wagon, surviving uninjured a freight train collision which demolished the wagon she pulled.
