GOLDEN JUBILEE DERBY IS TALK OF NATION Fortune Awaits Owner of the Winning Thoroughbred in Kentucky’s Highly-Priced Turf Classic Saturday, By United Press CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 16.

Three choices for the Derby, Wise Counsellor, Sarazen and St. James will not start, but the field that will go after the rich prize is worthy of the stake. Probable Starters The probable eastern starters are Thorndale, Revenue Agent, Nautical. Mr. Mutt, Diogenes. Bracadale, Mad Play, Transmute, Klondyke, Wild Aster and Senator Norris. The West will enter Beau Butler, Baffling, Bob Tail, King Gorin 11, Chilhowee, Alta wood, Black Gold, Polo Grounds, Glide, Cloister. Modest and Cannon Shot.

Baseball scoring wasn't perfect in those days, and the scorer did not worry to credit Cleveland with its ninth inning put-outs and assists. Also in those days they always played out the last half of the ninth whether the team last at bat needed runs or no. The score: KEKIONGAS. I FOREST CITYS RHOA!

INDIANS IDLE UNTIL - SUNDAY AT LOUISVILLE Tribe Drops Final at St, Paul, Its Fourth Straight Defeat —Batting Slump Kills Chances, By United Press ST. PAUL, May-16.—The final game of the Tribe’s first trip North was a defeat and Manager Bush piloted his athletes out of the city Thursday night headed for Indianapolis, where the team will spend a short time resting before continuing on to Louisville for a double-header with the Colonels Sunday. „

This was an off day for the Hooslers and the Saturday game at Louisville has been postponed on account of the Kentucky Derby, and It will be played as part of the twin attraction Sunday. Poor Record in North The Indians left here with four straight defeats marring their final efforts in the Twin Cities. They lost to the Millers at Minneapolis Sunday and Monday and lost to the Saint shere Tuesday and Thursday. The Wednesday game was postponed. The score Thursday was 2 to 1, the Saints putting the winning marker over in the ninth. Fitzsimmons and Hoitzhauser hooked up in a mound battle and the Saint (linger had just enough edge to emerge the victor. The Tribe didn’t collect eiiftjygh hits, five safeties being their total for the days against seven for the Saints. The Bushmen were unable to score after the first inning St. Paul scored in the fourth and ninth stanzes. Close Play at Plate The game settler came when Neun singled, advanced on Dressen’s sacrifice and scored on Floyd's short single to right. Christenbury made the throw to the plate and the play was close, but Umpire Murray ruled Neun safe. The throw was wide Rnd Krueger fielded it to Fitzsimmons, who covered the plate. Fitz and Neun fell together and the decision could have been made either way, but Murray chose the home way and the game was over. Manager Bush is puzzled over the batting slump his club is in. At the start of the season he thought he had a wrecking crew under his wing, but just at present some of the heavy stickers are not doing much dam
