CHICAGO, May 28.-Garry Herman,
the king of Western three-year-olds,
made his first appearance of the season
today at Hawthorne and at last answer
ed the question as to whether he is to be
a factor in the American derby. The
answer was in the affirmative. The colt
won a grand race from BOney Boy, at a
mile and a sixteenth. Boney Boy ran
vastly better than yesterday, when he
was beaten by Strangest, Boney Boy and
Garry Herman being the only starters.
Garry Herman cut out the pace, with
Boney Boy right at hts heels. Strangest
was unable to keep up and dropped out
of it at the half mile pole. Turning in
to the stretch BOney Boy made his chal-
lenge, and it was a strong one. Herr
man resisted vigorously, but despite his
efforts the fOur-year-old got a neck in
front. Woods drew his whip. At first
it made no effect on the Derby colt, but
at last the latter seemed to realize that
something more was required, and with
bulldog courage he settled down, over
hauled Boney Boy, got his head IN front
