spotty. - He was an erratic performer who mixed sudden flashes of brilliance with very mediocre performances. Although he earned $22,860 to rank well up among the money winners of his season, he was —and is—lightly regarded by horsemen generally. His First One Close

Merry Knight lost his first race by a neék, but won on his second start. In his first four attempts he ran in the money and appeared on the road to a brilliant future. Then: _he began stamping himself as a .gelt of little consistency. He ran in“and he ran out until even his trainer, wise old Jim Fitzsimmons, became uncertain as to his actual potentiality. ; The colt’s two outstanding victories were scored in the Junior Champion Stakes and the Ardsley Handicap. As well, he finished third in the Flash and the Babylon. It is interesting. to note that his two stake triumphs came at 6% furlongs and a mile and 70 yards, which may be interpreted as a sign Merry Knight can run at a distance as well as most of the other members of his division. Fails to Impress Expert

But despite his occasional victories and his money record, Merry Knight failed to impress John B. Campbell when the veteran handicapper drew up his ratings for the Experimental Handicap. The golt was given 115 pounds, 15 less “than the topweighted Bimelech, and ended up far down the line. Campbell’s light impost was more or less justified when Merry Knight finished third behind Parasang and Flight Command when the Experimental was run at Jamaica last Saturday. The Wheatley campaigner’s condition this season is not the best. He has been retarded by cold weather. A short, chunky colt, he may develop into a top-rank contender for 3-year-old honors later in the year. He will take his final Derby tune-up Saturday in the Wood Memorial and also is eligible for the Preakness, Belmont and Withers Stake. His Derby future book price is now around 20-1.

Bimelech Odds Drop to 8-5

NEW YORK, April 22 (U. P.). — The odds on Bimelech to win the Kentucky Derby dropped today to 8-5 as the men who make the future books passed around semi-final quotations which assumed that only 10 of the 127 eligibles have more than a gambling chance of coming out on top. id Bimelech holds firmly to his position as the shortest priced favorite in history and that alone is fairly conclusive proof that America’s horse players don’t believe the rumors that the Bradley colt won't be ready for the race of his young life on Derby Day. His odds to place are only 4-5 and to show just 2-5, and nobody is forcing them on you. Back of the favorite comes Andy K, still at 4-1, 2-1 and even despite the fact that in the Chesapeake Handicap on Saturday he again was the same whirling dervish of old. But while Andy K retains his low price he has been forced to share second position on the list with the West's raw-boned challenger, Mioland. Now in Kentucky where he will rest until’ the bugle calls him to the post, Mioland has been pushed down to the same quotation, 4-1, 2-1 and even. . The other seven aspirants the price-makers believe will reach the gate are: : Pictor, 10, 4 and 2. Flight Command, 12, 5 and 2%. Roman, 15, 6 and 3. Bashful Duck, 15, 6 and 3. Royal Man, 20, 8 and 4.

There was a strange interlude at Perry Stadium today as the Indians and Millers idled through an open date in the schedule. The other six American Association -clubs were booked for action, however.

After the Indian-Miller fracas tomorrow, the Milwaukee Brewers will invade the Tribe park and will be followed by the Kansas City Blues. The season’s first doubleheader is to be staged Sunday when the champion Blues are in town. Inspired by Bob Logan’s threehit pitching the Redskins gooseegged the Millers yesterday, 2 te 0. It was a masterpiece and Bob's second straight victory. ‘He opened the season by downing St. Paul in a four-hitter, 3 to 2. The ace lefthander retired the Millers in order in five of the nine rounds, struck out six and issued one walk. Storti led off the fifth with a single but was forced at second and then a double play ended the inning. ;

Richardson Is Alert

In the eighth Denning doubled after one away, took third on an out and was left when Logan fanned Pinch Hitter Barnacle. A great play by Richardson on Rolandson’s drive through the box held Logan in the eighth. It was t wallop and Lagan knocked it down and Richardson came in fast and got the runner by a half step. Allen Hunt, who had a busy day in the left field, contributed a fielding feature by spearing Gafike’s drive with one hand while on the run. The drive was headed for the scoreboard. : : Logan received flawless support. He had to bear down the full route because after the first frame the Indians were unable to bunch hits. In that stanza (zalatzer beat out a hit and Fausett fumbled Hill's roller. Hunt beat out a bunt for a hit, filling the bases.

Dick West belted a sharp one over third and Fausett held it to a single by making a flying tackle. The blow scored Galatzer, and Hill tallied on Joe Mack's infield out. Elon Hogsett, iefthander, held the Indians to six hits in seven innings and then retired for a pinch hitter. Y est and Richardson got four of the Tribe's six safeties. two apiece. One of Richardson’s bingles was an infield grounder that hopped away from Fausett, who cut over in front of the shortfield. ’ © Logan pitched under the handicap of a “game” leg in the late innings, but had enough on the hall to subdue the Millers. For an earlyseason game, it was a thriller and was run off in fast time. Only one error marred tne contest and the fans saw some brilliant hurling and snappy fielding.

But the big change in the Reds is in left field, where Rookie Mike McCormick from Indianapolis has taken hold like a veteran. In the Reds’ three straight victories, blackhaired, fleet-footed Mike has banged out five hits (two double) in 12 times up, scored three runs and driven in two. He ‘has performed brilliantly in the outfield and his speed on the bases already has the other National League outfielders watching him out of the corner of their ‘eyes.

The infield was an island after the drains had backed up. Giles said he hoped to have the water siphoned off to have the park in condition for the opening of a series Saturday with the Pittsburgh Pirates. - Tomorrow's game also was postponed because of the flood.

Mike, no relation to the Reds’ Frank McCormick at first, scored two runs, made two hits and drove in another run as Cincinnati hung up its third win in succession and moved into the National League drivers’ seat yesterday with a 6-1 victory over the Cardinals. Bucky Walters let the Cards down with seven hits and blanked them until the ninth.

Kelly Petillo Hits 120 On Fastest Lap

A spring preview of the Memorial Day activity on «the Indianapolis Speedway Value sap as contending drivers prepared to roll their mounts onto the track for speed trials. Three stellar drivers roared around the course yesterday. Included was Kelly Petillo, 1935 Indianapolis and national champion, who was clocked at 120 miles per hour on his fastest lap.” It was in the same car that he established the non-supercharged ttack record of 130.28 m.p.h. Making his seasonal debut was Harry Miller, entered by Jim Drake, young Pittsburgh sportsman. He, however, confined himself to breake ing in a new motor of his radically designed machine. Russell Snowberger, Detroit's “racing blacksmith” who was the first driver to hit ‘the track this season, took a few blurred laps around the speedway. According to T. E. Myers, general manager of the speedway, entries will close at midnight May 1. He said that Paul Riganti, Argentine speedster, has sailed from Buenos Aires en route here for the race. His car, a Maserati, was expected to arrive from Italy within a few days. Floyd Davis of Springfield, Ill, rated as a ranking dirt track driver in national competition, was the most recent entry.
