Greatest Derby Crowd Picks Many Favorites

Nearly Every Horse in Fast Field Goes to Post Carrying Many Wagers. WHITNEY NAGS POPULAR FAIR AMD WARM. LOnsriLLE, May 7.—Derby day opened fair and warm. A slight rain tell laat night, bat vu not nffliient to change track condition*. ln!ma rains fell today the track wag expected to be fast. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. May 7.—Daybreak this morning saw thousands of persons, many of whom had not been to bed last night, thronging the streets of LoulsTille—all with their eyes turned toward Chnrchlll Downs, where this afternooD the forty-serenth annual Kentucky Derby was to be run over the mile and a quarter course. Louisville's accommodations proved utterly Inadequate to the hugejthrong that poured Into the city for the great classic of the turf. Private citizens opened their homes to utter strangers last night, yet, despite this, many were unable to find a place to, sleep. It was estimated that more than 60,000 people would pay more than $200,0U) to wjatch the running of the race that annually attracts more attention than any other American stake. IA3T TRACK WAS PROMISED. Indications this morning were that racing conditions would be ideal. The forecast wa* for fair and warm weather. Some rain fell during the night, but not enough, experienced turfmen said, to spoil the track, which was expected to be fast. A field of twelve horse# appeared likely this morning. Fifteen nags had been entered, but it wie certain that some of these would be missing when the flag dropped. A smaller field than twelve was not unlikely. Learning the favorite today depended largely on who one talked to. One trainer said this morning: "Whitney hasn’t got a chance if he starts all five of them. Yet many of those vho are wise in affair# of the turf were making Prudery and Tryster, the Whitney entries, who are coupled in the betting, the favorite. The adherents of the Xalapa farm stable regarded Leonardo II as already in with the race. Leonardo ran a bad race at Lexington a few days ago and this had Joggled him out of the favorite position for the Derby, yet there were wise ones whose money was down on the star of the Xalapa string. COYNE POP!LAB IN KENTUCKY. Kentuckians likely Coyne, a Louisville horse, and were backing him with their wagers. Behave Yourself. Ed Bradley’s colt, drew the pole position and this was an element that had brought about a switch in his favor. Some tipsters would ,tell you that Black Servant, •erotiier Bradley nag, was already In with the money. Billy Barton, the Cuban Derby winner, owned by Charles Stoneham. of New York, and Star Voter, the only hope of Commander J. K. L. Bose, each hdd their backersIf the traek was absolutely dry Bud Fisher was to start his Muskalonge Despite hla piscatorial cognomen. Bud’s horse is not a sea-going animal and would not start 1% the course was moist. Careful, Grey Lag, Cncle Velo snd Planet were entries likely to drop out before the parade started. Grey Lag was practically out of it because of a split noof. Added interest was attached to the Derby this year because of the increased prizes offered by the Jockey Club. Forty thousand dollars to the winner, SIO,OOO for second, AM 000 for third, and $2,500 f..r fourth makes it the richest track classic In America.

LYNCH PROVES RIGHT TO TITLE LOriSVILLE, May 7.—Joe Lynch is still the bantamweight boxing champion despite the efforts of southern ring critics to pick flaws in his prestige as a result of last night’s twelve-round bout here with Pal Moore, Memphis challenger. When the twelve rounds were up Moore was all in, but even so his hundreds of Dixieland followers carried him from the ring and shouted that he had won. However, impartial critics who watched the serap were of the opinion that the Moore adherents were trying to- ‘ gyp’’ the champion. There was no question about Lynch's superiority over the Memphis lad. True, Moore won a few of the rounds by a shade, but his punches were feather like and did no damage. On the other hand when Lynch hit ha hit, and Moore felt the stings plainly. Asa result Moore didn’t have much steam left In the closing rounds and ringside opinion was that Lynch would have finished him in a tew more rounds. At any rate it was a good fight and was witnessed by a packed house. TOLEDO, May 7. —Two boxers from the same city will meet here Wednesday night, May XX, when Bryan Downey and Johnny Klesche of Cleveland are booked for a twelve-rojund no-decision bout at the Coliseum. The men are middleweight#.

Horse Blue Bloods Supreme as Classic of Turf Is Staged Sport of Kings Attracts Notables, Lesser Lights and Ordinary Folk. BY JONATHAN BROOKS. (Written for the L'nlted press.) LOUISVILLE, May 7—Kings may be unpopular nowadays, but not the sport of kings. More people than this old river town has ever seen swarmed fn from every direction today to witness the running of the forty-seventh Kentucky Derby. They filled the hotels, rooming houses and private homes of the city to overflowing last night and this morning, and at noon they were crowding the spacious limits of Old Churchill Downs. No kings were present, but common people In flivvers and uncommon people like J. J. Shubert, the minister from Venezuelos, Oliver Harriman. Secretary of Interior Fall. Morgan J. O’Brien, Tom Taggart and August Belmont, travelling in special cars, vied for seat# and standing room to watch the kingiy sport. Most of them made a point of coming, either for themselves or as the guests of such racing patrons as Harry Payne Whitney. But some other like the governor of Indians, Warren T. McCray, for Instnncs, Just happened to have business in Jeffersonville across the Ohio, and came on over for the race in the afternoon. * Nearly everybody In the great throngs knew this morning what horse "should not lose.” Among others that, according to the gossip, “could not possibly fail to win,’’ were the Whitney pair, 1 Prudery ana Tryster. and Leonardo II a great colt sprinter. Careful, belonging to Walter J. Salmon and the on.y filly besides Prudery that was to start, was well liked and heavily played In the betting. Both Careful and Prudery were popular with race followers, but both had a hurdle in their way in the shape of the old belief that fillies can not run the mile and a quarter with colts and last long enough to win.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 7,1921.

SUNDAYBATTLE AT LOUISVILLE TO BE FEATURE Colouels to Celebrate ‘Tommy Long Day* and Cavet Probably Will Pitch. ENZMANN IS DEFEATED • LOUISVILLE, May 7.—Baseball fans here forgot the diamond game today while they tfhoped out to Churchill Downs to try their luck on the ponies in the Kentucky Derby. It was an off day at the Colonel ball park, but not so Sunday. In fact, anything Is likely to happen when the Indians and Colonels hook up In the final game of their series tomorrow, tot it is an established fact that Louis* llle’R greatest baseball crowd turns out every year on the Sunday following the running of the Derby. As in added attraction Louisville fans will cslebrate tomorrow as "Tommy Long day,” In honor of the ace of the Colonel pitching ataff. Tommy halls from Memphis, and as hundreds of citisens of that city came here for the boxing match last night and the Derby today, there Is sure to be plenty of rooting. However, Manager Hendricks of the Indians is determined to nake it hard for the Colonels, even If it is “Tommy Long day," and in all probability he will call on Pug Cavet, the Tribe’s only consistent winner! to take the mound. Hundreds of Hoosiers are here and they surely will be out for the ball game tomorrow, and they mean to put on a rooting exhibition that will give the Colopel adherents plenty of opposition. Johnny Enzmaun, late of the Phllly Nationals, made his start as a Tribesman yesterday aud he did not get along very well. The Colonels did not outhtt the Indians much, but they cracked ’em In the pinches and as a result the Louisville gang walked off with the day’s honors, 6 to 2. The Hoosiers were crippled by the absence of Covington, who failed to recover from an ankle Injury received the day previous. The Indians had other troubles also, especially with the decisions of Field Umpire Italy and from all appearances It seemed that the Tribesmen had good grounds for their protests. Manager Hendricks refused to stand for one glaring poor decision and he protested so vigorously that he was banished from the field. The Colonel fans howled in glee when the Tribe chief was given his walking papers and he certainly will do some cheering tomorrow if his Indians can turn back ibe locals before the b‘*g Sunday crowd. Wayne Wright was on the mound for the Colonels yesterday and he managed to escnjie a lot of threatened damage by good support given him. The series has developed into- a nerve racking affair and with the players at sword* points there la bound to be an abundance of ex - citement tomorrow. Lutzke is playing first In the absence of Covington and, although he Is not a Covington, hs Is doing a fair Job of first busing. Mauagex Hendricks felt somewhat encouraged today over the news from ludlanapolls that Vice President Smith of the Indians had obtained the services of Pitcher Ilarry Weaver, formerly of the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Blues. Jack had urged that this twtrler be obtained aud Smith fiuaiiy swung the deal. It wa* necessary to deal with three clubs, namely the Cubs, Blues aud Salt Lake, In order to ,£aln title to the hurler. The Cubs had obtained him from Kansas City and latex had ordered him to Salt Lake. He dldu’t care to move west, however, and when the chance to come to the Indianapolis team was ofVred. he accepted. He will Join the Ind'uns Monday In Chicago on their way to St. Paul.

Brawny Crews Race for Honors on Lake Carnegie PRINCETON, N. J.. May 7—Brawny oarsmen of Princeton, Harvard and the Navy were to vie for honors on Lake Carnegie here this afternoon. Navy's groat crew, which took Penn into camp on the Severn at Annapolis a week ago, was a heavy favorite and the chances of the Middies were enhanced by the weather which has prevailed during the week. Ctfhtlnued rains have swollen brooks uud streams of Mercer County which feed Lake Carnegie and they were still pouring floods into the lake today, making it more like a liver. The crews were certain to encounter currents and in this kind of water Navy is admittedly superior to any crew in the country. The weather was warm and partly cloudy. Big League Stuff Babe Ruth is even with Oeorgn Kell., today. The Bambino whanged out his seventh homer at Washington yesterday, aiding the Yanks to victory. Six hits was all Coveleskle of the Cleveland Indians gave up to the White Sox and he kept them well scattered. Klllefer's timely single in the llr.th enabled the Cubs to nose out the Beds. Dykes’ homer, Galloway’s theft of second and Welch's single broke up a tie game and gave the Athletic i a victory over Boston. The Pirates won a slugging bee from the Cardinals. Zinn finally holding St. Louis safe after Hamilton and Ponder had been batted to the showers. The spectacular fielding of Heilman and Sisley which cut off runs, featured Detroit’s victory over St. Louis. \ No Betting, No Racing SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—A race meeting Scheduled at Pleasanton for May 14 to 28 has been called off by the Pleasanton Jockey Club.

Last year he was a member of the unsuccessful Invading French team of three Peugeot*, but this year he will be seen In a TalbotDarracq, which Is also a French speed creation.
