FASTEST DERBY TIME IN 1931

2 2

ADMIRAL CLOSE LAST SPRING

N 1931 Twenty Grand ran the fastest Kentucky Derby of all time, speeding around the Churchill Downs mile and a quarter in 2:01 4-5. . . . Second best time was 2:03 1-5 by War Admiral last year with Charlie Kurtsinger in the saddle. . . . Kurtsinger also was up on Twenty Grand. ... In 1934 Cavalcade and his “shadow,” Discovery, fought it out and the latter was two lengths in front at the mile. At the head of the stretch Mack Garner called on Cavalcade and snatched the rich prize with Discovery second and Agrarian third. This year’s running gives every promise of being one of the most bitterly fought events in the history of the classic. . . . Plenty of speed from all sides and horses that

can run far as well as fast. = ” 5

ACKERS of Fighting Fox surged to the fore over the week-end. . . . The full brother of Gallant Fox, 1930 Derby winner, has come through in a big way recently and is the type of racer which improves as a 3-year-old. No two full brothers have ever won the big number in Louisville, and tradition is against Fighting Fox, but there's always a first time for everything, and this may be the year. The Fox is owned by William Woodward of Belair Stud and this stable has won the classic twice, with Gallant Fox and Omaha, the latter in 1935, the year the filly,

Nellie Flag, was the winter book favorite. $ 8 = 2 ROM 1875 to 1895, inclusive, the Derby distance was one mile and half. . . . In 1896 the distance was reduced to a mile and a quarter. . « « Largest field was in 1928 when 22 started. . . . Twenty went to the post last spring. ...

Hard Fighting Keeps Indians In Top | Flight

Pofahl’s Home Run Wins for Page in 13th; Redskins Have Holiday.

Times Special ST. PAUL, May 2.—Having won their first series on the road, two games to one, the Indianapolis Indians were more confident than ever today that with more mound strength they will stand a bright chance against the strongest opposition in the league. Their fighting spirit is the talk of the American Association and when they get good pitching the club's hustling ways win the close ones. The two victories scored at the expense of the Saints at Lexington Park both were extra inning affairs, one of 10 rounds, the other 13. The one defeat, a 10-to-0 shutout, occurred Saturday when the Tribe hurlers folded and the team failed to hit. Vance Page got off his charley horse yesterday and chucked the Redskins to a 2-to-1 triumph in a thriller which lasted four extra stanzas. He held the Apostles to seven blows, two of the scratch variety, struck out five and issued only one walk. Two Blows by Pofahl Young Jimmy Pofahl was Page's | leading supporter and the Faribault, { Minn., lad really went to town. He | belted a home run in the 13th to {give the Indians the game and also tallied the Tribe's first marker in the third when he walked, advanced on an out and scored on Wasdell's single. Pofahl got two of the Tribe's 10 hits, a double and the game-win-ning four-master in the 13th. Babe -Phelps. who shut out the Indians with three hits at Indianapolis, opposed Page and it was a tight mound duel throughout. It was Phelps’ first defeat and he pitched 21 scoreless innings until the Redskins got to him in the third frame yesterday. Page came close to chalking up a shutout since St. Paul's one in the seventh was unearned. by Wasdell put McCulloch on third whence he scored on Washington's single after one out,

through to pennants in 1936 and

1937. They've taken a tip from the Yankees after learning how to win ball games the hard way in the past two World Series. Inside baseball, hit and run and sacrifice bunts are a thing of the past with the Terrymen. They're now the power - built, swing-from-the-hips, fence-clouting Giants. The transformation has been ree markable and the results amazing, The Giants lead the National League with 11 out of 12 victories and a string of 10 straight. one of the fastest starts any club has made in recent years, They've slugged their way to a 27; game lead with the most power= ful attack in the majors. Their team batting average is .302, with Hank Leiber .383; Dick Bartell .372; Lou Chiozza .326; Mel Ott .319, and Jo-Jo Moore ,309—showing the way. They've hit 15 homers in 12 games, more than any other major league club. The leading circuit clouters are Johnny McCarthy, four, and Ott, Leiber and Ripple, three each,

Five Extra Base Blows

The Giants slashed out five exe tra base hits yesterday to win their 10th straight from Brooklyn, 7-6. Bartell's double and Ripple’s single drove in the winning run, but McCarthy's homer—a 483-foot drive—with two mates on was the big punch. Poosh Em Up Tony Lazzeri's homer with two mates on board featured the Cubs’ 6-5 victory over the Cardinals and moved them into second place. Lazzeri's wallop tied him with McCarthy for the major league home run lead. Pitcher Jack Russell won the game in a relief role. Hugh Muleahy, Phillies’ sophomore, pitched the day's greatest game when he let the Bees down with two hits. Cleveland won its fourth game in five starts with Detroit, 4-3.
