Chicago. June 19.-The American derby, the greatest turf event of the west, will be run tomorrow afternoon at the Wash ington Park track If the weather is favorable, the crowd that will see the race may break all previous records in this country. Officials of the Washington Park club say they expect to acconnmo- date 6O000 people and assert that the esti- mate based on the demand for tickets is conservative.
 Twenty-three horses are named In the entries of the big race. The event is worth s25,0OO in added money, and If all the horses named go 10 the post, the gross value of the derby will be $33,1T5. There was never an American de by field which presented more open proposition than the one tomorrow. Savable, the favorte for the race is expected 10 lose by many more experts than have picked him to win. Instead of becoming a warmer choice as the race approaches, his odds have gone up half a point and he is now 2lh to 1. When the withdrawal of Irish Lad was announced few days ago, the event ap- peared to be at the mercy of savable.
 There Are Others.
 Then Linguist and Judges Hines came out and raced savable to head in q mile and an eighth race and the stock of the favorite immediately began to decline. He Is still regarded as the most likely win ner on fast track. but there is no cer- tainty that the course will be at It's best. Light rains will not hurt 1t, but the fall of rain this afternoon has dampened it. More showers will make 1t slow.
 The mere fact that Savabe is believed to be n over his head, has served to in- crease the size of the field. One of Cor rigan's trio, Rate, was known as Ravel, but a message from Registrar Wheeler of the Jockey club gave the information that the colt was imported from England last year under the name of Rate, and Rate 1t will have to be in the race to- morrow
 Owners of Claude, Judge Hines. Lin- guist and Gregor K, all the horses that are regarded as having c big chance arc anxious for rain. They believe a heavy track will beat Sayable, and with the son of Salvador out of the way they can fight 1t out among themselves. There is only one Ally in the race. She is Flo OAA AAA@s eAli0 iidS iiduy duHllIeIS.
