FACTS ON PAST

HORSE CLASSIC ONE WEEK AWAY
BLUE RIBBONS
WEEK from today the 65th edition of the Kentucky Derby will be run at Churchill Downs and the “people’s choice” on the horse race calendar will be witnessed by the usual gala crowd assembled from all parts of the nation... . . Col. Matt J. Winn, the head man, has seen every
Col. M. J. Winn
Derby and can recall the first one, which he peeked at as a boy perched on a grocery wagon. . . . Like the Indianapolis 500-mile race, the Blue Grass Blue Ribbon usually gets a break in weather and 48 of the Kentucky Derby days from 1875 to 1938, inclusive, have been favored by fair skies. There have been only five really rainy days in 64. ... However, this is no guarantee that next Saturday will be balmy, like many of the customers after they pick several losers on the
afternoon card. The track has been officially fast on 88 occasions and good on 10 others—a total of 48 out of 64.
« « « Slow, three; heavy, eight;
muddy, four; sloppy, one.
Favorites have finished first 81 times; second, 16 times; third, two times; unplaced, 15 times. . . . Record “handle” for any Derby Day was $2,098,701 on May 15, 1926, of which $694,958 was wagered on the Derby. . .. Last year’s “handle” on the Derby alone was $528,762.
Only one Kentucky Derby
ever was run in any other
month than May. . .. That was the Derby of 1901 staged on April 29 and won by His Eminence.
Louisville reports say the will be in the neighborhood of
attendance next Saturday 100,000. . . . and fans are
advised to get to Louisville early and early to the track.

Six Derby Horses in Big Event
Ziegler Colt Gets First Test At Distance; Johnstown Rules Favorite.
‘By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 29.— Stock the bars ‘with mint juleps, plant a few drawling Southern colonels on the lawn, and engage Governor Happy Chandler to decorate the winner and Jamaica's little race track could pass for Churchill Downs on Derhy Day today. Because ‘they're running the Wood Memorial again and the Wood, year in and year out, draws the closest
thing to a Derby field. Nine thoroughbreds will go in the 15--year-old stake today and six of them are eligible for the Blue Grass run in Louisville next Saturday. Two of the six—Johnstown and El Chico—are the most heavily packed Derby candidates in the winter book, and it's a cinch that the one which shows best in the Wood will be the betting favorite when the field goes to the post in the “you all” classic in Kentucky.
1938 Baby Champion
El Chico, William Ziegler's hotfooted 3-year-old, is the fellow on the spot today. Champion of the baby class last year, and undefeated in seven straight starts to win $84,100, El Chico still hasn't proved his class. As a sprinter, maybe, but not as a horse who can go a distance. The Wood, run at a mile and 70 yards, will mark the first time that El Chico has been asked to go farther than six and one-half furlongs. To remain a Derby threat he must not only run the Wood in good time, but be full of fire at the finish, because the Derby is even longer, a mile and a quarter. It wouldn’t seem that anything as strong as a horse would mind an extra 300 yards or so of running, but that distance makes a whale of a difference. Remember Omaha
In 1935 Omaha finished third to Today and Plat Eye in the Wood, but he was chipped to Louisville as the Derby favorite just the ‘same. Because it was obvious to everyone that Omaha, who was running over horses at the finish, needed a little longer route and with it would have collared Today and Plat Eye. Johnstown, today’s favorite at 3-5, never has gone a mile and a quarter, either, but no one doubts that he can, not after watching him in the Woodshaven Stake earlier in the week. He crossed the finish line after a mile and 70 yards with plenty of “oomph.” (Ccoyright, 1939, by United Press)
Derby Dope
By United Press At Louisville—Five Kentucky Derby eligibles were entered in the Daniel Boone purse at Churchiil Downs today. Contenders for the six-furlong test were No Competition and Giles County, Lightspur, Technician and Fern Creek. Challedon and Porter's Mite ar-
rived from Havre De Grace, both in good condition. Trainer Ted Horning said the Mite would be sent in the Derby trial for his last outing. No Competition and Viscounty were other arrivals. Giles County and Up the Creek, worked in company yesterday, were timed in 35 flat 354-5 on fast footing at Churchill Downs, both handily. At Lexington—Trainer Earle Sande ‘announced Heather Broom a certain Derby starter following his victory in the Blue Grass Stakes. Mrs. Payne Whithew said the showing of her Hash and Third Degree in the same rate was So poor that neither would be given further consideration. At Havre De Grate—Hugh Jackson disclosed his Ariel Toy has beto Churchill Downs has been canceled. Easy Mon was a neck behind the winning noneligible Morstep in the Old Virginia Purse. Hal Price Headley's Hants was out of the money. At New York—Chico sped threeeights ‘at Bedmont Park over a fast track in 3853-5 handily yesterday. Johnstown did a half on the fast Aqueduct track in 512-5 breezing, and T. M. Dorsett three-eighths in 37 2-5 breezing.
Heils Perform at A. B. C. Meet
CLEVELAND April 29 (U. P.) —Governor Heil of Wisconsin added his rooting support today to his famed Heil Quality Products team ‘which rolled on the opening squad in the American Bowling Congress championships. The Heils, former national match champions and winners of the international five-man championships at Berlin two years ago, have a powerful squad. For three years they had defeated every outstanding lineup in the country in match play, but lost their crown to the Hermann Undertakers of St. Louis last fall in ‘a surprise upset. Included in the lineup of the Milwaukee quintet is Hank Marino, former match ‘and ABC champion, and Charley Daw, who has captured national double crowns twice. Bill Sixty, Elmer Koch and Larry Haberstroh complete the lineup. Haber‘stroh replaces Gill Zunker, who died last December. ‘None of the leaders in any division ‘was disturbed during yesterday's

with a scientist's zeal. While he concedes that the strokes of top-flight players may show slight variations at the top of the backswing and at the end of the follow through, the pattern is identical when the club head is in the hitting zone or the lowest point of its arc. Since the club's action in this zone is invisible to the eye, Mr. Smith places great reliance in the use of motion pictures to find and correct faults. He lists the grip and groundwork, or foot control, as fundamentals which should be checked every spring. There are three types of grips—the so-called “baseball grip,” the interlocking grip and the overlapping or Vardon grip. Except for persons with little strength in their fingers the first one listed now is almost as obsolete as the mustache cup. In the interlocking grip, as the name implies, the little finger of the right hand Sn with the forefinger of the eft. The overlapping grip, the one now most commonly used, is described by Mr. Smith as follows: “The left hand should be placed over the shaft so that the golfer in looking down can see the first three knuckles of that hand. The little finger of the right hand lies on top and ‘across the first finger of the left. The right hand should be placed well on top of the club. “If you have placed the left hand correctly the V formed by the thumb and forefinger of this hand points toward the right shoulder. In adjusting the right hand be sure to get it over far enough toward the top of the shaft. When this isn’t done, tension is built Up in the right side and the hands do not ‘work to-
desirable, as far as possible, to make the two hands ‘work as one. “Proper grip also involves proper use of the wrists and forearms.

Goodman Rockets Roaring Reds Into First ‘Place
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 29=Take a tip, you National League pitchers, and don’t take any liberties with Ival Richard Goodman of North-
view, Mo., and Cincinnati, O. Tipsters are Bill Iiee, acknowledged premier pitcher of the league, and BR ean on the Chicago Cubs’ staff. Lee, ‘who twice this season has pitched and won complete games, threw just ‘one pitch to Goodman vesterday wand the consequences were tremendous, The Cincinnati outfielder drove it into the Tight field bleachers for his third homer of the season, scoring two mates ahead of him and giving the Reds a storybook victory, 7-6. That's ‘why the Reds are in frst place today for the first time in four long years and the Cubs are tied with the Boston Bees for second place. Almost single-handed, Goodman, who in his four years in the National IL.eague has never received much acclaim, hoisted the Reds to the pinnacle. In the two-game series the Reds swept from the Cubs, Goodman got two homers, a triple and two singles and drove in nine runs, the exact number the Cubs scored in both games.
