By Eddie Ash Bradley Pulls a ‘Rockne’ in Derby mm* Veteran Touts Race Boys Off His Horse
P; BRADLEY, the Kentucky colonel, is the Knute Rockne of the turf. The veteran owner certainly pulled a Rockne bear story on the boys when his Broker’s Tip came through Saturday and upset the dope in the Derby, giving Bradley his second consecutive triumph in the classic as well as his fourth conquest since 1921. All winter he kept the play down on Broker’s Tip, and indicated Boilermaker was the choice of his stable. Moreover, all last week, when he finally admitted he favored Broker’s Tip over Boilermaker, he still maintained that Ladysman, winter book favorite, had the class of the race. Thereupon, he sent Broker’s Tip to the post as his lone entry, scratching Boilermaker and Fingal, and once more the Bradley colors flashed out in front to win the big money and world-wide acclaim.
Jockeys in Fight TURF followers regret there was a dispute over the finish on the part of Hero Fisher, who was the jockey on Head Play, the loser by a nose. He claimed a foul by D. Meade, who was up on Broker’s Tip, but the race officials suspected both boys were guilty of rough riding in the stretch and they made no change. Anyway, the two jockeys engaged in heated fisticuffs in their quarters after the race and it took a police call to halt the scrap. There is so much money at stake in the Derby the temptation to resort to “monkey business’’ to win is hard to turn down. Pictures disclosed that Meade’s right hand was grasping Fisher blouse at the shoulder and that Fisher's left hand was reaching for the saddle of Broker's Tip. If both boys had been disqualified with their horses, Charley O would have been the winner, Ladysman second, and Pomponius third and Spicson fourth. a a a First Winning Race IT was the first race ever won by Broker’s Tip. Asa 2-year-old he started four times, finishing second once, third once and was outside the money twice. In his first start as a 3-year-old Broker's Tip was nosed out early this season at Lexington by Warren Jr„ who was scratched out of the Derby. Broker’s Tip is the second “maiden” ever to win the Kentucky classic. Sir Barton, 1919, was the first, and he went on to win the Preakness a week later. Official finish Saturday was: Bro- ! ker’s Tip, Head Play, Charley 0.,! Ladysman, Pomponius, Spicson, Kerry Patch, Mr. Khayyam, Inlander, Strideaway, Dark Winter, Isaiah and Good Advice, pulled up. Thirteen started. Money wagered on Derby day at Churchill Downs was $745,603, a decrease of about $105,000 from last year. Derby day record was estab- j lished in 1926, when the total wager j went over $2,000,000.

Vetner Singles Champ The final week-end of play of the twenty-fourth annual state bowling tournament, at the Pritchett Recreation alleys, ended with only one new leader despite some wonderful bowling in all divisions of play. Joe Vetner, the South Bend star, winning the singles championship with a total of 734 on games of 237, 257 and 245. The thrill of the last squad in the team event was provided by the Davis Laundry team of South Bend who opened with a score of 1,055, followed with the high single game of the meet, a 1,135. and then needing only 1,009 for anew all-time record and the championship, faltered, dropping to 3,087 with a poor finish of 897. This total placed them in the show spot, Barbasol winning with their record count of 3.198 and the Gregory & Appel team winning second place with a score of 3,098. Five of the first six places in this play went to local teams, Mic-Lis-McCahill taking fourth place w’ith 2,896 and the Underwood Transfer and Marott Shoe Shop filth and sixth. Had Wavne Jensen been able to produce his singles count in the doubles plav. the team of Otto and Wavne would be perched on the top. as Otto had games of 237. 241 and 264 for a three-game mark of 742 that rode Wavne into third place with a score of 1.297. Indianapolis players again topped the field in this class of play, the record-breaking 1.353 bv Frank Hueber and Don Johnson taking the medals. Bill Bowen and Herman Bohne were second with their 1.312 count. Dan Olubka, the boy who replaced Chrisnev when the latter failed to put in an appearance, and counted 709 in the singles was the runner-up, while Frank Alford showed on 695. E. Rodecki of South Bend rolling on the final squad, slipped into fourth place scoring 691. Otto Jensen, after his 742 doubles count and a start of 234 and 233 in his singles plav. only needed a 226 game to create a new record in the all-events, but after opening his final game with a double failed to bunch them as he had been doing all through both sets and finished with a 199 to total a 1.974, that was good for second place in he standings. Everrett Scott poured out all of his strikes in practice plav. Rolling on alleys 9 and 10. Scottv scored 279. 2.9 and 241 for a total of 305. A 645 in actual competition in the singles was his best tourney mark, however. * R Robbins of Kokomo pulled one for the books. Robbins was paired with W Crumlev in the doubles plav, but did not enter in the singles. To keep the squad complete Robbins paced his partner in the singles, and scored a 6.6 that did not count Our guess is that Robbins will roll in all the events in future meets. Wavne Jensen rolled a 673 in his singles plav that might just as well have been a big 700 count, the seven pin refusing him on two different occasions, with a row of strikes up. Both hits that left the ►even were squarely in the pocket. Other prize winning singles counts were: H. Vandergritf. Muncie. 637; E. Oullett, Muncie. 631: M. Cox. Ft. Wayne. 603: F. Carr. Ft.

Battle of Derby Jockeys and Cry of *Foul ’ Made Big Jim Farley Feel Right at Home
BY JOE WILLIAMS New Vork World-Telegram Sports Editor LOUISVILLE. May B.—Possibly the boys wanted to make Big Jim Farley feel at home.

It was a fight a former boxing commissioner might well appreAnd bv way of making Farley feel doubly at home, there was a claim of foul.

Indeed, the number became so great that Farley decided to rule fouls out that’s the way they ought to run these Derby races. Certainly everything went in Saturday's
tt tt U More People, Less Money BETTING on the Derby alone Saturday reached the sum of $229,352, against $277,105 in 1932. The figures prove the old depression is still at work. Ladysman, future j book favorite in the 1933 blue ribbon event, would have paid only $4.86 for a $2 ticket in the mutuals if he had won, or $2.43 for sl. Compared with 1932, this year’s Derby crowd was larger, but the wagering was lighter. Proving again, there are more people in the world, but less money distributed as a whole. Ask any statistician in vital statistics. Anyway, the 1933 Derby was a picnic for the bookmakers, especially the future book operators. They cleaned up. tt a a Sky Ride Baseball Chicago White Sox ball Players were to use the Century of Progress (world's fair) Sky Ride today for a renewal of the old stunt of trying to catch baseballs hurled from the high buildings and other structures. Ted Lyons, star pitcher, planned to stand atop the 628-foot high steel structure (seventy-three feet higher than the Washington monument in Washington) and throw nine balls to teammates waiting on the ground. Jimmy Dykes, Red Kress and A1 Simmons, star White sox fielders, were to attempt to catch the balls, each having three chances. Mathematicians have figured that the speed of each baseball will be eighty-seven miles an hour when it hits the ground or is caught by the players. a tt a THE following announcement appeared in the classified advertising of a Birmingham paper recently: “On and after this date I ! hereby disclaim liability for any and all debts contracted by my wife, Mary Elizabeth Chapman.

The Tribesmen also were rained out of a twin bill in Milwaukee a week ago Sunday. Only tw'o tilts of the scheduled four were played with the Millers and the teams broke even, the Indians winning Thursday and the Millers taking a slugfest on Saturday, 11 to 10. The Hoosiers “kicked” away the Saturday contest by committing six errors. Thcmas and Cooney pitched for the Killeferites and Vandenberg, Van Gilder and Hensiek were employed on the Miller mound. Both clubs knocked the sphere all over the park as well as over the fence, but it was a useless task from the standpoint of the Tribe hurlers. They got no support in the field.

201,000 Fans See Major Tilts; Yanks, Cleveland Split Twin Bill
BY JACK CUDDY United Frcss Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May B.—Attracted by the spirited competition in both major leagues and encouraged by warmer weather, the fans started swarming out in increasing numbers to watch their major league favorites play ball. More than 201,000 persons attended Sunday’s six double-headers in the National and American leagues, the largest turnout of the season. The total was twice that at the five opening ceremonies on April 12. At Cleveland, the New York Yankees and Indians played to 55,000 spectators, the second largest crowd that ever saw the Yanks play on the road during the regular season. Cleveland wrested the lead temporarily from New York by winning the opener, 7 to 6, but the Yanks retrieved it by copping the night-
Durocher, Derringer in 6-Player Transaction
By United Press NEW YORK, May B.—Branch Rickey’s search for a shortstop to bolster the St. Louis Cardinals’ sagging infield has ended with the acquisition of Leo Durocher, principal figure in a six-ply road trade Sunday, between the Cards and Cincinnati Reds. Rickey, vice-president of the Cards, obtained Durocher, with pitchers Johnny Ogden and Frank (Dutch) Henry, in exchange for Earl (Sparky) Adams, veteran third baseman, and pitchers Paul Derringer and Allyn Stout. “No cash was involved,’’ Rickey said today. “It was a straight deal. I intend to use Durocher right away. Chicago Wants Leslie, Klein By Times Special NEW YORK, May B.—That sixplayer swap between the Cardinals and Reds has revived trade rumors in the National League. It is reported here that as soon as Bill Terry, first baseman-man-ager of the New York Giants, recovers from a broken wrist, he will ship Sam Leslie, who is suboing for him, to Chicago for shortstop Bill Jurges and a pitcher. Leslie hit a homer Sunday to beat Cincinnati. The Cubs also are reported dickering for Chuck Klein, Hoosier powerhouse of the Phillies. Last year they offered $200,000 for him, and it is doubtful if the Bruins will be any more successful in negotiations this year. rich” tourney starts By United Press SOUTHPORT, England, May B.

series that had originated half way down the stretch. At the moment the picture was snapped. Broker's Tip was just about to make his last stride that was destined to carry him past the line the winner by inches. The race had already been won and lost. Who started the fouling and precisely what effect it had on the result is a matter of personal opinion. The first foul may have been accidental. Head Play was beginning to stagger a furlong from home, and Fisher wasn't giving him much help. My own thought is that Fisher rode a generally inept race and that with a more competent rider the Tennessee hoss would have won by a full length.

Pitcher Mel Harder, who relieved Oral Hildebrand, drove in the winning run for Cleveland in the seventh inning of the opener after home runs by Bill Knickerbocker and Eddie Morgan featured the Indians’ fifteen-hit attack on four New York hurlers. In the nightcap, the Yanks garnered thirteen hits off three Cleveland flingers, including homers by Earle Combs and Tony Lazzeri. Charley Ruffing checked the home nine. Twenty thousand fans saw Boston and Chicago split. The White Sox won the first contest, 4 to 3, although outhit, 11 to 7.

Neither Henry nor Ogden is expected to linger long with the Cards, who have a wealth of pitchers. They probably will be sent to one of the St. Louis farms, possibly Columbus.
Adams probably will get a regular berth at third with the Reds, for he was sent in to play that post Sunday for three innings of the opener and for the entire nightcap against the Giants. The Reds’ mound staff is strengthened by the addition of a definite pitcher in Derringer and a relief man in Stout. Rickey denied reports that he also was looking for a first baseman.
That No. 13 Louis Schneider to Carry Fateful Number in 500-Mile.
Number thirteen rarely used in automobile racing—has made its appearance again at the Indianapolis Motor speedway, where preparations are going on for the 500-mile race. May 30. And the holder of the unlucky number, or lucky—as you please to take it—is none other than Louis Schneider, Indianapolis star, and one-time winner of the 500. Louis has been galloping his gas wagon around the track at nice speeds and the Number “13” certanly stands out. Louis’ car is the Edelweis Special. Howdy Wilcox's car was due in today.

The 47-year-old hurler was released last week by Brooklyn.
AT any rate, when Head Play began to stagger in the cuppy footing he collided lightly with Broker's Tip. And then came the break which decided the race. Instead of Knocking Broker's Tip out of stride, the collision threw Head Play off balance momentarily, and since the result was so close only the judges could tell who won, you can readily appreciate what a cruel piece of racing luck this was. A Sande, a Fator or a Gamer would have held Head Play up when he began to stagger, kept him free of the only other hoss that had a chance, and gone on to win with him. It was a convincing illustration of the importance of a rider. I still think he was the best hoss in the field, and I am anxious to see what he will do in the Preakness Saturday with another rider,

10 to 9. A hit batsman, a single and a wild pitch accounted for the winning tally in the tenth. Pounding Rowe, Herring and Wyatt for fourteen hits, the Senators took the second, 6 to 2. Wally Stewart yielded only six safeties. Philadelphia’s double-header at St. Louis was washed out. Brilliant pitching by both clubs thrilled the 35.000 fans who saw the New York Giants advance to within one and a half games of Pittsburgh, the National League leader, by scornig two shutouts over Cincinnati, 1 to 0 and 5 to 0. Sam Leslie, reserve first sacker, won the opener with a homer in the seventh despite Bob Smith’s two-hit game. Carl Hubbell yielded five hits. Hal Schumacher yielded only two hits to Cincinnati in the nightcap against six granted by Benton and Quinn. Cincinnati dropped to a fifth-place tie with Brooklyn. Chicago rose from seventh to fourth by beating Boston twice, 11 to 2 and 5 to 2, disappointing 35,000 Boston fans. Riggs Stephenson and Gabby Hartnett made homers in the opener. Babe Herman made a four-bagger in the second before retiring with a Charley horse. Pitcher Lonnie Warneke also contributed a homer. Boston dropped to seventh place. Burleigh Grimes was the winning pitcher in the opener. St. Louis won the first game from Brooklyn, 12 to 5, by hammering three Dodgers’ pitchers for seventeen safeties, including a homer, double and two singles by Pepper Martin, but the Dodgers took the sleeper, 4 to 2, to the applause of 35,000 Flatbush fans, by making two runs in the fourth and two in the seventh, although outhit, 10 to 6. They were the only games scheduled. H. Arc. GRABS THREE NATIONAL TANK TITLES Three national junior swimmii.g titles were added to the Hoosier Athletic Club trophy list in a swim carnival at the H. A.

Horse Sense
BY O. REVILLA LOUISVILLE. May 8. YOU are going to receive a great surprise when you see the news reels of Saturday’s Derby classic and you are going to talk about it around the stove league all winter. You will see Don Meade, riding the Bradley colt, reach out and grab the reins of Head Play as they neared the finish line. Fisher, who had the leg up on Head Play, made a pass at Don and tried to shove Broker’s Tip off his stride. u a a After the goal had been crossed vou will see Fisher wallop Meade across the face with his hat. a blow which almost knocked the little fellow out of the leather. It all happened right under the noses of the judges. They would not allow the claim of a foul placed by Fisher and as vet no one has been suspended. In an ordinary claiming race both of the first horses would have been disqualified. Personally. Meade was the aggressor of this fracas and I am of the opinion the disqualification of Broker’s Tip alone would have been quite in line. n 'a a Fisher had Head Plav out about ten feet from the rail and was withstanding a challenge of Charlev O when he spied Meade on Broker's Tip slipping through on the rail. Fisher pulled Head Play across to cut off Broker’s Tip and at that point Meade reached and grabbed Head PlayFisher grabbed back. If Fisher had continued on a straight course. Head Plav probably would have been the winner bv a head, as Charley O failed to gain as Fisher had expected and who was waiting to carry him out had he continued to gain on the leader. ana The Colonel still knows where to put the oats and this thing of him touting Ladysman was nothing more nor less a price builder on Broker s Tip. He offered ft to 5 that a horse could not be picked to heat the Coe entry. Well, it surely was a sucker bet for the takers as they could have gotten 6 to 1 or better on anything in the race by running their money through the machines. A wise old bird, this Colonel Bradley. nan The name Broker’s Tip is in the hall of fame, placed along side that of other great Kentucky Derby winners. It is a shame his name may go down with a blemish as any horse capable of running the race he did Saturday should have been given a clean slate and worshipped as a great horse, and his name, for the sake of the sport, kept clean. Os course it was not his fault, or that of Colonel E. R. Bradley, who now has four Derby victories neatly tucked under his belt, that the 1933 race ended as it did.
He Piloted Winner THEY'RE still talking about the battle of jockeys which enlivened the finish of Saturday's Kentucky Derby. Here is Don Meade, pilot of the winning Brokers Tip. who was charged with fouling by Fisher, up on Head Play. Meade also claimed foul.
Broker’s Tip to Race Head Play at Pimlico \ Derby Winner and Runnerup Head East for $25,000 Preakness Saturday: Ladysman, Favorite Which Finished Fourth at Louisville, Also Entered. BY KENNETH D. FRY Vnited Pres* Staff Correspondent LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 8. —The horse racing season is far too young to begin the annual debate over the 3-vear-old championship, but if Colonel E. R. Bradley's Broker's Tip and Mrs. Silas Mason's Head Play, participants in that- stirring Kentucky Derby finish Saturday, ran true to their capabilities, then they will have ample chance to settle the honors and the dispute between them. The trim black son of Black Toney, which carried the familiar white and green silks of Bradley to their fourth Derby triumph, left Sunday for Baltimore, where he will be saddled for the $25,000 added Pimlico Preakness at one and three-sixteenth miles Saturday. Today, Head Play entrains for the eastern fixture, and he is almost certain to go. W hile Broker s Tip and Head Play will have a chance to settle, at least partially, the question of their supremacy this week, the battle between Donald Meade, who rode the Bradley colt to the Derby victory, and H. W. Fisher, asvride Head Play, will have to be deferred. _. A . l f r . ed R °bertson. one of the east’s leading jockeys, will mount Head .flay this week. Meade again will ride Broker's Tip.
Ladysman, W. R. Coe's unsuccessful Derby favorite, also is scheduled to leave for the eastern track today. Meanwhile the visiting hordes have left Louisville to its usual placid existence, and th violent outbursts of arguments following that rough ride down the Churchill Downs stretch is dying out. Both Jockeys Blamed The consensus is that both Meade and Fisher were at fault. Fisher claimed that Meade grabbed Head Play’s blanket as they came clattering down to the finish line. Fisher aimed a blow at Meade as the horses eased up and cut loose with more fisticuffs in the dressing room after the race. Photographs showed the jockeys tangling with each other as they flashed past the finish. Meade was under suspension when he rode for Bradley in the Derby, having been set down for five days last Monday for rough riding. However, his suspension did not interfere with his contract to ride in stake engagements. Broker’s Tip and Head Play are slated to clash for the third time in the American Derby at Washington Park in June. Bradley Star Praised Comments of horsemen indicate that Broker's Tip is one of the sturdiest Derby winners Bradley ever has owned, and that he can stand up under a hard campaign. His form was indicated by his race Saturday, in which he came from eleventh to first in the last three hurdles of a mile. Some criticism was aimed at Fisher for taking Head Play to the front so early in the race. The victory netted Bradley $48,925, and his colt paid nearly 9 to 1 in the mutuels. The time was 2:06 4-5, and nearly 50,000 saw the race. Five lengths behind Head Play was Charley 0., of the Eastman estate, with the favorite, Ladysman, struggling along in fourth. Charley O. will not be shipped east.
