Col. Bradley Os Turf Fame Dies Today M'Xlngton. Ky., Aug. 15—(CP) —Col E R. Bradley, only owner to win the Kentucky derby four times, died today of a heart attack at Idle Hours farm, his home. He was 86 Bradley, who had been In Bl health for two yearit. was brought to his home May 30, from West Palm Beach, Fla. He died at 1:35 a. m. (CRT.) The veteran horseman would have been 87 on Dec, 12. With him when he died were Mrs. Catherine B. Bailey, his sister; Thomas Bohne, bls secretary. and Dr. Fred Rankin, attending physician Bradley, who once described himself at a senate inquiry as a "speculator, raiser of race horses and gambler," made racing history by winning the Kentucky derby four times. He did it first in 1921 with Ih-have Yourself, repeated in 1929 with Bubbling Over, again in 1932 with Burgoo King and won his final wreath of roses In 1933 with Brokers Tip. After that there were lean years for Bradley. He sold the fair grounds in New Orleans for 1700,000 and began a search for another derby winner. In 1939 he believed he found one in Blmelech. who in 1938 had been re-. garded as one of the greatest two-year olds of all-time. The colonel was desperately 111 that derby day so he did not see his odd son favorite lose out to a 35 to 1 shot named Gallahadlon. Bimelech later won the Preakness nnd the Belmont Stakes, but Bradley never got over his defeat tn the derby. Bradley tried for the derby after that, his latest attempt being with Burning Dream In 1945. but his racing fortunes ‘began to ebb. On Dec 12. 1940. Bradley celebrated a golden anniversary of activity on the turf. During that half century he was a dominant figure in the sport He made his first stake wagering on Indian pony races while prospecting for fold in New Mexico and later became a bookmaker. In 1890 he entered horse racing himself. Hix first horse was Friar John, a mediocre plater. His second was Rad News, which marked (he be ginning of a long string of "B's." and the colonel's big time entry fntn racing It wax three years later that he bought Idle Hour farm, still one of Kentucky's showplaces. In 1900 he built Ills famed gambling club at Palm Beach. Fla., after having opened a gambling house in Hl. Augustine. His Palm Beach place became the gambling mecca of the country, exceeding even Monte Carlo In betting volume. It earned most of his fortune. now estimated at almut 15,000,0 N. Bradley never attempted to disguise his business. Called before the senate committee investigat ing gambling, he bluntly testified that he would bet on anything for any amount. o , Poultry Manure Poultry manure is an excellent source of nitrogen for plants. Howover, care must be taken in using fresh poultry manure in the garden. If applied in excess or close to the roots it may cause stunting and death of the plants.
