Hero-wor-shipping writers made more Kentucky Derby favorites than all pre-race workouts, “If you want a price you have to avoid the contenders in the big barns, where these clever fellows from all parts of the globe gather to sing the praises of the favorites with their affable trainers. ‘The three longest shots in the history of the Kentucky Derby never received a Kind word prior to their triumphant flights down the home stretch. | . . These were Donerail, which Roscoe Goose rode to undying glory in 1913, at 20 to 1; Exterminator, which paid 30 to 1

Entries Reac 42 For the 1941 Speedway
Kelly Petillo Places His Own Car in Race
(List of entries on Page 34)
Speedway officials, having already received 42 entries for the 500-mile Memorial Day automobile race, today awaited any further nominations that might have been mailed before the midnight deadline last night. The latest car to be entered is a four-cylinder car nominated by Val Johnson of Chicago and owned by William Schoof of Milwaukee, Wis. No driver was named for the rears wheel-drive job, Although most had entered by several filed their entries in the final 12 hours, Among these was Kelly Petillo, 1935 winner, who nome inated his own car, At last year's victory banquet, however, Petillo declared that he expected to drive a Maserati in the 1941 race, so it's possible he may be angling for one of the French-owned cars entered last year or the Maserati which
Raul Riganti of South America piloted. Several hours before the deadline yesterday, rapid Rex Mays arrived from California, He will drive the same high-powered car he steered to second place behind Wilbur Shaw last year, Bowes Sealfast is sponsoving this car as well as another to be driven by the vet eran Ralph Hepburn. Wilbur Shaw again will be the No. 1 driver in the Mike Boyle team, handling his sleek Maserati, while the other two cars in the team will be driven by Chet Miller of Detroit and George Connor of Los Angeles. ’ Among the other well-known Speedway figures who will be back are Russell Snowberger of Detroit, Mauri Rose, Rene LeBegue, a mem= ber of last year’s French team, Cliff Bergere, Ira Hall, Shorty Cantlon, Harry McQuinn, George Barringer, Frank Brisko, Emil Andres, Joel Thorne, Billy DeVore and Paul Russo, Of the 41 cars already entered, 20 are powered by four-cylinder en=gines. Thirteen motors will carry eight cylinders, six are six-cylinder jobs, one is a 12 and another a 16.

“Six-footers or over, whether slim, regular or stout, have problems when buying ready made clothing. Because you are taller than average, you need more
than just long sleeves and long trouser legs. In fitting a suit coat, the length of the material from your waist to shoulders is important. A coat made to fit another man, one, two or three inches shorter will result in a creeping collar or binding armholes because the material in the coat back is too short. Your shoulders, in an effort to get sufficient room, are constantly pulling the fabric up around your neck. Important factors are pants rise and the length of trouser legs. To have comfortable, neat appearing trousers, the pants rise should be tailored and fitted to your own particular requirements, thus permitting the waist to fit comfortably over the hips and allow the trouser legs to hang free and smooth.”
