ALL ENGLAND ON EDGE AS DERBY APPROACHES World’s Biggest Gambling Event Nears —Lucky Among Poor Chance-Takers Face Problem of Lives.

Bu United Preen LONDON. May 24.—With the approach of June 1, the date on which the English Derby is run, stable owners, trainers, Jockeys and stableboys already are going through their annual period of feverish excitement, worry and hope. The annual wave of “indoor sports” is raging throughout every office in the United Kingdom where everybody, from office-boy to boss, is picking tiny paper numbers out of a hat for the chance of winning the annual sweepstake. Thus, no doubt, this year as in the past, many a hard-earned sixpenny piece will swell the pockets of the rich while, also as usual, a number of poor devils will go to bed on the night of the Derby, sleepless through the excitement of having won a small fortune with a coin which

otherwise might ’have only paid for a loaf of bread. Everybody Invests Scarcely an adult in Great Britain can be found today', who has not “invested” at least a penny of the weekly pay envelope, in a Derby sweepstake, and few there are who not being able to spare their coin, were not able to borrow it from a friend, for the same purpose. Not everybody can afford, for instance, to pay £1 for a ticket in England’s most important Derby sweep, the “Stock Exchange Sweep.” But, there are twenty shillings in a pound and those'who pool together for the chance of winning an amount usually far in excess of 50,000 pounds, (the amount varies each year) scan still get back, for their shilling, as much money as they could make in a decade. Nor do the hopeful have to draw the winning horse on their ticket in order to reap substantial gains. The second, third and fourth horses to pass the winning post each bring thousands of pounds to lucky ticket-holders. Any Horse Pays In fact, one does not even have to draw a winning horse at all, as in nearly all sweepstakes, including the “Stock Exchange Sweep,” the mere fact of drawing one of the horses Anally entered for the race, means a sure number of £I,OOO notes which rich racing-enthusiasts are always willing to pay in exchange for one of the few tickets which actually has what is usually a thirty to one chance of winning huge amoiints for a place. Thus the lucky ones who own a ticket which has drawn a horse, are faced with the problem of their lives: To sell, or not to sell an opportunity of winning a fortune, for. although one way or another, all those who draw actual starters, are entitled to a sum of £SOO regardless of whether their horse wins or loses in the race, they are always afraid of "losing” several thousand pounds in case they sell their chance of getting the Arst prize while they are afraid to turn down a straight offer for this chance, say, for £5,000. So, today, millions of "men who never won a sweepstake in their lives” are secretly convinced that “this time” all they have to do is to make arrangements for spending the amount which will become the property of the winning ticket-holder.

Major League Comment

Tommy Thomas, White Sox pitcher, kept his team In second place in the American League by hurling his seventh winning game of the season. The Sox beat the St. Louis Browns 4 to 1. * Thomas held the Browns to three hits and the latter's score in the ninth end ed the Chicagoan's twenty-Afth consecutive innjng of scoreless pitching. Home runs by Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth in the Arst inning of the Yankee-Senators game failed to deter Washington, and Harris’ team came from behind to win, 3 to 2. Thurston was the victim of the Yankee sluggers’ bats, and the fact none was on base when the hitting occurred saved the game. A wild Afth inning in which ten runs were scored decided the first game of the Tigers-Indians doubleheader. Cleveland scored seven of the runs in the fifth and won. 9 to 4. The Tigers duplicated the performance in the second game, however, getting five counts in the seventh to win, 7 to 5. Tight pitching of Clarence Mitchell, southpaw working his first game of the season, cut Brooklyn off with one run while the Phillies were scoring seven. Mitchell allowed seven I hits. The Phils fifteen hits were bunched largely in the second and seventh innings when the scoring was done. Pittsburgh won a game from Cincinnati, 8 to 5, in the early innings, enabling the Pirates to stay in first place in the National circuit. J. May, Reds’ pitcher, went to pieces in the second, allowing the Pirates to score five.

Segrave to Retire After 1927

Bit United Prcnt> LONDON, May 24. —After a successful career of eight years of auto racing, Britain's “Speed Demon,” Major Segrave, plans to retire from active racing at the end of this season. His contract with the Sunbeam Motor Company expires at the end of the British auto racing season in September, “and then,” Seagrave states, “my retirement is definite and there will be no question of a comeback —not even should Malcolm Campbell equal, or better, the 207 miles per hour speed record set up by the 1,000 horsepower Sunbeam car at Daytona.” This decision is hailed with great delight of Mrs. Segrave. LITTLE BILL WINS Bit United Prcsn SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. “Little Bill” Johnston, defending his Pacific Coast tennis championship, defeated Mervyn Griffin in a third round match.
