The annual running of the Ken
tucky Derby at Lexington this year,
on May 13, bids fair to attract a rec
ord breaking crowd.
Public interest has been stimulat-
ed by the possibility that an animal
to topple the wonder horse of the
century, Man O. War. from his ped
estal, has been uncovered in Nor
vich, the marvellous 3-year-o old son
OF Runnymede and Hymir.
SO much has been written about
Norwich that he is the strongest
favorite for the Kentucky classic,
and probably will attain the emf
nence which has come to few of be-
ing an odds-on favorite in a big
Derby starting field
OF course. there are wise men of
the turf who doubt Norwich Such
has been his fate since he started
his FIRST race with the bookies doubt
ing him so much that they placed
the odds against him at so to /.
But Norwich has yet to see
horse in front Of Him at the finish.
Lucky Hour Favored
Many OF the doubters look with
favor on the Lexington stables
Lucky Hour The showing made by
this son OF Feroleor Hourless- Lucky
Catch in the Tip Top Purse at Havre
de Grace has gained him many fol-
lowers. Though blocked many times
in the early running. he came with
a tremendous burst of speed at the
turn for home. to win hard held.
The only question is whether or
not Lucky Hour can carry his speed !
over a distance. !
The Tip Top Purse was only five !
and one-half furlongs. while the !
Derby distance is mile and one
quarter.
Good Times Strong

considerable attention |

presented an almost impregnable
inner defense. Only one ball got
away from the infield and that was
a rather hot one to Cunningham.
Sheehy's one slipup was the drop
ping Of a thrown ball in getting back
to the bag. He gave a rather clever
exhibition of how first should be
played.
Burke was presented with a two
base blow and Salesianum with the
start of rally in the eighth. The
Gold and White backstop lifted one
to left behind the crowd and Cap
tain Jones of the Highlets made the
catch cut of the view of Umpire
Russell. The arbiter allowed Burke
to remain on second and said that
he could not call the out because he
had not seen the catch. Jones reg
lstered a lid protest and then went
back to his position. He did no. at
tempt to bring in witnesses to 'ove
that he had made the putout. The
catch was blocked from the view of
the umpire and those around the IN
field but there were about 100 fans
standing around Jones, some of
whom also said he had made a fair
putout.
Perhaps the largest crowd to wit
ness local scholastic baseball
game witnessed the contest. The
field was crowded on all sides and
there were a rim of fans close up
around the outfielders. Ground
rules made It impossible for the
batsmen to get anything better than
a two-base hit.
The ceremonies opened when Pro-
fessor Charles Coke, principal of the
Wilmington High School. tossed the
first ball over to the Rev. Father
Francis Tucker, principal of Sales
ianum Catholic High School. who
stood behind the plate. OF course It
was a strike.

Wilmington Highs great record
of wins this season was trailed in
the dust at Baynard Field yesterday
afternoon by the sturdy diamond
warriors of Salesianum Catholic
High. When the smoke of battle
rolled away the Highlets were
found submerged under an to 3
score. With the dying gasp of de-
feat the public schoolers eased over
their trio of tallies after two had
gone the road in the final frame
The Highlets presented far from
that smooth working machine which
had given them something like nine
consecutive victories while the Sal
lies put up a pretty classy article of
all around ball, on the alert TO take
advantage of all breaks. The heavy
hitting crew of the Delaware ave
20 runs in several games was held
safely in the palm of one Jimmie
Kerrlgan. Not one of the Cherry
White crew was able to reach third
until the seventh, and he died there.
II can hardly be said that Kerri-
gan pitched much better ball than
Jimmie Richards, the Highlet ace,
for in the figures 1t is shown only
in the matter of hits secured off the
latter. Several errors in omission
aided in swelling this number.
The real difference in the playing
Of the two teams was in the infields
The snappy yet steady performance
Of the Sallies' inner works over that
displayed by the Highlet depart
ment was perhaps the most decid-
ing factor Of the fracas. On several
occasions the Cherry and White
guardians of the tagging stations
went completely up in the air.
Weiner and McVaugh were the main
offenders.
The Highlets showed a tendency
TO throw the ball around too much.
With men on the bases the ball was
heaved around briskly but none to
accurately.
