Jan. 12.— (U.R>— It has long been the policy of this -acing expert to announce his choice for the Kentucky derby months in advance. Last year, while the Bluegrass was still blanketed with snow, I unhesitatingly j came forward with Bull Lea. In 1937 parents were late in decorat- ■ ing their Christmas trees, so busy j were they in plunking down their : all on my pick, Military. The year . before that the ducks flying south | paused long enough to hoot and honk at my derby selection, whose name has escaped my memory and the record books. Today, on January 12, I give you not only the winner of this year's Kentucky derby, but also the winner of the SIOO,OOO Santa Anita handicap. His name is Porter's

Mite, a three-year-old belonging to W. E. Boeing. Mr. Boeing is an airplane man, and he has built few planes that can fly faster than Porter's Mite. The purchase of the Island of Manhattan for $24 worth of costume jewelry was no greater bargain than Boeing got when he bought the Mite from John Hay Whitney for less than $7,500. That was just a year ago, and since then the mighty Mite has earned $77,000, won the classic Belmont futurity, and set a world's record for six and one-half furlongs. He is now at Santa Anita, the first futurity winner ever to campaign in the winter as a three-vear-old. He has made one start since reaching here, in the Santa Maria stakes last Saturday, and he won it like the champion I think he is. Carrying 123 pounds he won so easily that Jockey Basil James never had to touch him with the whip. And he wasn't running with platers, either. Now the Santa Maria isn't the derby and six furlongs isn't a mile and a quarter, which is the derby distance, but Porter’s Mite finished the shorter race so strongly that there is no reason to believe that he can't go the route. After all. he is bred for distance. His father, a respectable taxpayer named The Porter, could go the whole way, and has sired more than one router. Aneroid could run a distance, and so could Rosemont, who won the SIOO,OOO handicap, and Toro, second to Reigh Count in a Kentucky derby. Porter's Mite will go to the post in the Kentucky derby with the record book against him, because not futurity winner ever has won t.ie Bluegrass classic. Not even such futurity winners as Pompey, St. James, Top Flight, Chance Sun, Pompoon and Menow could make the grade in the derby. The general run of horsemen do not like Porter's Mite or his greatest rival of 1938. El Chico, for a derby winner. They lean toward the Saratoga stable's Volitant and E. R. Bradley's Benefactor. Volitant is a son of Display, who sired the mighty Discovery. Benefactor, a Blue Larkspur colt, ran the fastest three-quarters run at Pimlico last fall by horses of any age. Horsemen look on El Chico and Porter's Mite as nothing but sprinters and prefer the staying power of Volitant and Benefactor over the derby distance. However, your wisest horseman can be wrong or why would War Admiral have paid $lO when he won the derby, or Seabiscuit been the underdog against the Admiral at Baltimore? I say Porter’s Mite, and an giving this Information early so that you can start a penny bank and place your savings squarely on his nose. If he wins, thank me. If he doesn't, well, you're a sucker for having taken my word. (Copyright, 1939, by UP.) o Col. Jacob Ruppert Reported Near Death New York. Jan. 12—(UP)—Col. I Jacob Ruppert, 71, owner of the I Now York Yankees, was "sinking ' perceptibly" today and was believed dying. His physician, Dr. Otto Scbwerdtferger, predicted death "almost any hour.” Ruppert has been confined to h's home with a complication of diseases which followed an attack oT phlebitis,, inflamation of the leg. last April.
