Half Dozen Candidates for
Big Race Run at Churchill
Downs
By THOMAS TEMPLE HOYNE

LOUISVILLE, KY, May "a
Something of a line on half a
dozen of the Derby candidates
will be given this afternoon in the
Derby trial at Churchill Downs
The race is at one mile and the
six entrants are the Ziegler pair,
Borderlafld and Needle Gun; the
Kalapa Farm Stable pair Sweep
ing Away and Prince of Bourbon;
Kentucky Cardinal and Step Along.
The Croissant colt, Kentucky
Cardinal, is in with top weight Of
III pounds and 1t jisN his first start
as a three year-old.
Sweeping Away and Prince OF
Bourbon are fresh from the East.
They will carry ia and Ill pounds,
respectively. The former is the
one that will probably meet the
fancy of many of the dopesters.
Step Along also is a favorite of
many.
Mark Master, the Derby colt that
crack that became infected, was
easy mile at Douglas Park this
morning. He covered 1t in 1:47 1-5,
and his trainer, George Walker, is
still hopeful that the colt will be
in good enough shape to start in
the Derby.
AS the date for the big race ap-
proaches, the idea that 1t will be
no cinch for the fAvorite, Quatrain,
is broadcasting. At this moment,
1t still looks like a mighty open
race.
Visitors are beginning to pour
into this city from all directions.
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. William
Gibbs McAdoe got in from Owens
boro. They will dine with Gov
ernor William J. Fields, at Frank
fort, tomorrow evening. On Satur-
day they will be in a box at
Churchill Downs.

Critic should have been light
weight champion Of the world too,
but was robbed of that distinction
the night he beat Jack McAuliffe
at Coney Island. The latter's
friend who refereed kept Griff
from getting his rightful honors
as McAuliffe didn't lay glove on
him during the bout.
Solar Plexus, in the Sydney
Referee, wrote a short piece about
Critic in a recent issue of that
paper. 1t follows:
Supposedly, Critic first saw the
light on this side Of the Murray,
but such was not really so, as In
1871 he was brought across from
Victoria by his parents, a babe
in arms.
On the death of his mother, he
was adopted by people named
Allner, a modest, respectable fam
lily who lived at Miller's Point,
better known then, and for many
years later, as The Rocks.
Critic Was a Newsboy, Too.
A T a very early age, Critic
n sold newspapers in the
A streets. AS in the case to-
day, it was a means of Livelihood
that meant the survival of the
fittest, so that many a time and
oft had he to engage in set-to
with some boy who wanted to
"pinch" his stand or do other
things that did not strike the will
ling youngster as o. K. from his
point of view.
In this way, his natural pugilis-
tic propensities were given full
sway. From having to fight for
his own rights, he was kept busy
fighting the other fellows battles
or accepting challenges his youth
full admirers would issue to those

fighting abilities were broadcasted.
Had First Real Fight in 1887.
" HE majority of the battles
were impromptu scraps, but
his first real fight, under
proper rules, happened in 1887, on
the green at Dawes Point, in close
proximity to where so much is
now being done in connection with
the building of the North Shore
Bridge. His opponent was a LAD
named Billy Griffin, who subsc-
quently became an Australian
champion at roller skating. In
defeating Griffin, Critic displayed
such a natural science and fight
ing devil as to attract the atten-
ton Of the then great knuckIe
fighter, "Hock" johnson, now a
respected member Of City Tat
tersall's Club.
In those far-off days Hook ran
tobacconist business at Lower
George street, and at - the rear

shoot his left and the various
other methods necessary in the
art of fisticuffs. There it was

he had to almost daily indulge
in) that friend Hook brought hia;

all reclamation problems. He point
ed out that the %concensus of opinion
is that construction Of new work
should be deferred until this ques-
ton is solved.
The essential part Of the federal
reclamation policy of the future
said Mr.. Work. is a program of
land settlement and farm develop
ment. Unless settlers can be attract
ed to the projects and are able to
remain on them, there is no reason
for building them. The government
constructs irrigation projects but it
cannot draft settlers
One solution of the settlement
problem is cooperation between the
federal government and the states
in which the projects are located,
the states to assume the RESPONSE
bility of settlement
ANY new settlement policy must
be based on the selection of settlers
who have had experience in farming
and who nave sufficient capital to
u~nderwrite advances made by the
government. Financial aid t settlers
at a low rate of interest for the
clearing of the land, Improvement
of farms, and purchase of necessary
equipment, is also paramount to suc-
cess. Until these problems of land
settlement n farm development of
the old projects can be solved. the
concensus of opinion is tina the con-
struction of new work should be
deferred.
When n stops to consider thai
the Government irrigation project
referred to, are "raw" as the stu
alton we have to offer the intend

500 daily before the end of the
month. making possible a total
output of approximately 100000 for
October, the greatest in Ford his

This information was contained
in a statement just issued at the
company's general offices, which
details the remarkable Industrial
accomplishment effected in produc-
ing the improved Ford ears and
which at the same time definitely
dispels all fictitious rumors regard
ing Ford production circulated since
the new cars were announced.
LESS than sixty days after dis
continuing its former style passeng-
er cars the Ford Motor Company
has brought the improved types
into normal production in all its
assembly plants throughout the
United States"
1.-The former type passenger cars

Because of the many changes

lengthen paint ovens to permit
longer baking and an increase in
the number of coats Of paint given

and production started in the plants
early in September.
Output of the improved cars in
creased rapidly and for the week
ending September 10 the production
total showed 22.376 cars and trucks.
Since hal time output has been
growing steadily. During the last
few weeks the company has been
shipping through its branches to
dealers more than 1000 cars and
trucks a day. the shipments in
creasing to the record reached Fri
day. October 16. when S,165 cars
and trucks were produced. This
output will be increased to $500
a day before the end of the month.
Production for October will run
close to 100000 a new high rec
ord.
Preparations for bringing In the
improved cars. which entailed the
changing to all steel bodies. were
begun months back, but the actual
work OF placing cars in production
INT bringing the output up to the
normal average of more than T.
900 a day has all been accomplish
ed within sixty days.
Aside from the engineering work,
the task Of producing the improv-
ed cars involved in part, the pre-
paration of tools for 1921 new
operations ~necessitating more than
3 million hours of work by expert
toolmakers, complete changes of
whole departments. the installation

and in other manufacturing units,
the designing and making of 9O3
new and different small tools total
ling $500 pieces and the educating
of thousands of men in making
new automobile parts.
The increase in production to-
gether with constantly expanding
activities has brought employment
in the Ford organization in the

At present the number of those
employed exceeds 17B, 600.
