MISSOURI KICK UPSETS DERBY
LAWRIN HAD IT IN STRETCH
E was bred in old Missouri and had the kick to deliver the goods in America’s greatest horse spectacle, the Kentucky Derby. . .. Overlooked by the “wise money,” Lawrin, like War Admiral in 1937, started in No. 1 position at Churchill Downs Saturday and finished there after -a perfect ride by Jockey Eddie Arcaro. . . . Eddie seemed to know how much horse he had and acted accordingly. + « « He let Menow and Fighting Fox set the pace and set it they did, but too early for them. The Fox and Menow ran their legs tired and finished out of the money. . . . Bull Lea was no race horse Saturday, got caught in a jam at the quarter and just labored through the remainder of the distance. Lawrin moved from fifth to third and then as the pack straightened for home, Arcaro said the word, applied the whip and the Missouri mount popped out in front and captured the coveted event in a stretch drive with Dauber chasing him. . . . Arcaro saw Dauber coming and squeezed a bit more speed out of Lawrin to take down the rich prize. 5 5 T was a grand show at the Downs. . . . Col. Matt Winn had flags, pennants and bunting distributed throughout the spacious plant, four bands were on hand and the Indiana University band was tops. Dauber’s last-quarter rush furnished the excitement at the finish. . . . He was outrun early and was slow to respond, otherwise it might have been a different story had he kept closer to the pace. ... He was last away from the post, ninth at the quarter and eighth at the half. »

Estimates on the crowd ranged from 65,000 to 75,000, with the former figures favored by annual Derby goers. At any rate, the betting at the track on the nine-race card was $50,000 off last year's total, it was reported.

ASEBALL clubs in the American Association are piling up a lot of unfinished business Or rather the weather is doing it. No games have been played in Minneapolis and St. Paul since a week ago vesterday and the traveling Indianapolis club has got in only one engagement since May 1 It’s an expensive business to maintain a league ball team with nothing coming in Spring training trips cost heavy money and the loss of early gate receipts puts a club owner in a bad fix. Money needed for the purchase of new talent has to be used to meet payrolls, hotel hills and other expenses.

The Senators have won five straight and are showing a punch which the experts missed in their preseason ratings. . ..

INCINNATTI'S first night game this year will be on May 27 against C the Cardinals at Crosley Field. . . . The Indiana University band will be an added attraction, along with a fireworks display. . . . The pregame show will start at 8 o'clock, the ball game at 8:45, Eastern time. Fans who have been wondering about sacuring tickets for the big league All-Star game in Cincy on July 6 will be interested in the following communication received by the Reds from Commissioner Landis: “I have a letter from one of your patrons requesting a reservation of seats for the All-Star game, the statement being made that he has been advised bv vour club that the matter is entirely in the hands of the two major league presidents and the commissioner, “To end useless correspondence, I suggest that applicants be informed detailed arrangements for the handling of tickets will be made at the Advisory Council's conference the latter part of May, and that meanw hile, nobody is Ruthorized to handle the ticket matter.’

u Americans Among 240 in British Open
Entry List Tops Last Year's By 17; Walker Team Is Included.
LONDON, May 9 (U. P.).—Eleven Americans, including the Walker Cup team, were among the 240 entries for the British Amateur Golf championship announced today. The entry list, which topped the 1937 total by 17 also included the British Walker Cuppers and American-born defending champion, Robert Sweeny. The expected entry of Hollywood's John Montague failed to materialize. In addition to the Walker Cup team, which sails from New York Wednesday morning, the American entry included Bobby Dunkelberger of High Point, N. C.,, and Charles S. Munson Jr. of Fairfield, Ky. Don Moe of Portland, Ore, an alternate on the Walker squad, was not entered, indicating he would not make the trip abroad. Tommy Tailer of Westbury, N. Y., who was named as the second alternate, was entered and drew a first-round bye, but he decided last week that he would not accompany the team. Except for Johnny Fischer of | Cincinnati and Charlie Yates of Atlanta, the Americans were lucky in the draw. Fischer and Yates clash in the first round. The others meet comparatively unknowns, Dunkelberger meets A, E. L. kenzie-Grieve and Munson Albert Briscoe. Walker team members and first-round opponents follow: Francis Ouimet, captain, vs. P. J. Urlwin-Smith. Charles Kocsis, Detroit, vs. R. W. Crummack. Johnny Goodman, Robert Montgomery. Ray Billows, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., vs. Raymond Quilter. Fred Haas Jr., New Orleans, J. Ashworth.

First Spectator at Gate for Big Race
The first spectator for the annual 500-mile auto race May 30 was noticed today, sitting on the waiting line rail, . He is John Ventura, of Cleveland and New York. He said he had been waiting since May 2 “That car's never been farther back than third place in the line for the last 11 years,” Ventura said proudly, “and I've been seeing the races since 1923, I knew all the old-timers—Tommy Milton, Ralph Mulford. Eddie Hearne, Ralph DePalma, but the hottest driver of them all.” Ventura recalled that racers had just returned Speedway when he saw auto classic 15 years ago. “And now they're going hack to single-seaters again,” he said, GOMEZ SUIT SETTLED NEW YORK, May 9 (U.
