HE AMERICAN DERBY
THE BIG RACE WILL BE RUN
 THIS AFTERNOON.
savable is the Favorite But More Ex. perts Pick Him to Lose Than to Win-His Price Now 2 1-2 to 1.

Chicago, June 19.-The American Derby, the greatest turf event of the west. Wal I be run tomorrow afternoon at the Wash 'favora ble the crowd that will see the race may break all previous records in this country. Officials of the washing ton Park Club say they expect to &C., commodate 1o,000 people and assert that the estimate. based on the demand for. tickets, is conservative. Twenty-three horses are named in the entries of the big race. The event is worth $25.000 in added money and if all the horses named go to the post, the gross value of the Derby will be $S3. 3.l7o: There was never an American Derby field which presented a more open proposition than the one tomorrow. Savabie, the fa- vorite tor the race, Is expected to lose by many more experts than have picked him to win. Instead of becoming a warm choice as the race approaches, his odds have gone up half point and he is now 2 l-2 to l. When the withdrawal of Irish Lad was announced few days ago the l event appeared to be at the mercy of | Savable. Then Linguist and Judge Hines came out and raced Savable to q head | in a mile and an eighth race and the l stock of the favorite immediately began l to decline. He is still regarded as the | most likely winner on fast track, but | there is no certainty that the course will | be at it's best. Light rains will not hurt | it, but the fall of rain this afternoon has | dampened it. More showers will make 1t | slow
 The mere fact that Savable Is believed to be in over his head had served to in | crease the size of the field. One of Cor l rigan's trio, Rate, was known as Ravel, | but message from Registrar Wheeler | of the Jockey Club gave the information | that the colt was, imported from Eng | land last year under the name of Rate
 and Rate it will have to be in the race owners of Claude, Judge Hines, Lin- | suist and Gregor K, all horses that are
 tar ahYnF big sssSs track will beat Savable and with the
 son of Salvador out of the way they can l fight 1t out among themselves. There Is only one Ally in the race. She is Flo l Carline, and has many admirers, but as | Moderty. who won in 1884, was the only | lilly that eyer landed the derby. tradition | is against her.
 Ali the best jockeys in the West except
 one will ride in the Derby. The Reiff | brothers were to be rivals, Lester on
 Savable and Johnny on one of the Corri- gan entries, presumably Rate. Johnny
 Reiff. however. dislocated his left clavlcie
