SIX DERBY CANDIDATES

Louisville, Ky, May All doubt that bettors would be permitted to back their judgment when the 34th renewal of the Kentucky derby is run tomorrow was apparently removed tonight by an injunction issued by Judge Samuel B. Kirby, in the chancery court restrain ing the mayor, the board of public safety and the police officials of the city of Louisville from interfering with operation of Pari-mutuel machines and auction pools at Churchill Downs. The injunction, which was issued on the application of the officers of the New Louisville Jockey club, was made re- turnable Monday, May II, when the city officials will be required to show why it should not be made permanent.
 Mayor James F. Grinstead and w. Marshall Bulliett, chairman of the board of safety when asked as to their probable course after the injunction had been issued contented themselves with a statement that the law would be allowed to take it's course. Police will be at the track tomorrow but will be used only to keep the crowds in order.
 The Derby tomorrow will be run over a muddy track and the field will cer- tainly consist of not less than six starters, while in all probability seven horses who have shown themselves adapted to heavy going will essay the journey of mile and quarter Late tonight it was announced that pr. Matthews would probably be scratched, he having pulled up slightly lame after an exercise gallop. Word also came from the stable of George J. Long that Balbus would be drawn, thus centeri1g that owenr's dependence on Sir Cleges.
 Sir Cleges and Milford are tonight favorites at s to 5, with Banridge sec ond choice, the supporters of the latter animal expecting to get to l against him tomorrow. The remaining four which are regarded as certain starters are DunVegan, Stone Street, Bill Her ron and Gilvedear. Dunvegan Is the only one of the four regarded as likely to cut figure, although all will have more or less support on account of the heavy going. The prospects are for showers and cool weather and the course is already soft from recent rains.
 The Derby this year has a total value of $6000.
