LOUISVILLE, KY, May 7. U.P)-
The hosts of the turf world moved
on Churchill Downs today for the
running of the Kentucky Derby,
which for SO years has attracted
millionaire, middle man and mendi-
cant to this old Southern metropolis.
The crowd was bit smaller, the
celebrations and tumult were more
Subdued, the tipSters and the touts
were a trifle less active and money
was a little short, but i was still
the Derby-America's greatest and
most picturesque turf spectacle.
Caravans of automobiles, special
trains, antiquated steamboats, and
| droning airplanes converged on
Louisville from all over the coun-
| try with thousands of persons eager
to see a wide-open derby once more
! after long line of victories for IA
vorites. One group came from as
| far as London, Eng, another from
Toronto, Can, and even a few from
California. 1t was estimated that
the crowd will number about 45, 900.
Experts say the race rests between
three horses, Mrs. l.. G.. Kaufman's
Tick On, Mrs. John Hay Whitneys
Stepenfetchit, and Col. E. r. Brad
leys Burgoo King
Tick On, jet black colt, which
lost his only start this year by a
length, occupied the favorite's post,
being quoted az 2-1 in the morning
line. Stepenfetchit, coupled with
Overtime as the Whitney entry, and
| Burgoo King, coupled with Brother
| Joe as the Bradley entry, each were
6-1. Those odds, however, were
slated for considerable fluctuation
before post time, about 3 p. m.
(PST).

YALE VS EAGLES
 ON ARENAS ICE WEDNESDAY NIGHT

New Haven, Jan 11.-It was an- nounced yesterday by Yale, the Eli hockey team would play against the Eagles of the Canadian-Amer- ican league on Wednesday night in- stead of meeting up with Olympic talent as had been originally planned.
 The Olympic situation is prac- tically settled in the east and rather than pass the date with q contest that could not in any way have any bearing on the situation the Eli authorities decided to make use of the date for the annual town and gown contest.
 Blue One Up
 This year 1t is q case of the Eagles going out to seek revenge, for just about a year ago a con- fident professional team was beat en by fast and brilliant Yale out fit.
 In the game Wednesday night the two teams will, from a point of weight, be about evenly matched. The balance. if any, will be with Yale for the Eagles have two for ward lines that are the lightest in professional hockey and the com binations of Heating, Kuhn and Jackson and Wilson, Ceilings and Paddon will be outweighed by the Blue.
 Tickets for the game are now on sale at 50 cents and $1. Reserva- tions may be made at 5-3123.

Father John Kripas and his Knights of Lithuania Speedboys evened the series at one all Satur- day evening at St Joseph's Audi torium turning back the strong St Casimir Big Five of New Haven 31 to 20. in hotly contested game. Joe Swasey, mountain of strength on the offense and defense, thrilled the large audience with his sensa- tional shooting for the Knights, &C., counting for IA of the winners points. In the preliminaries, the Post Business college outfit defeat- ed K. of l.. Reserves 19 to 16 in an interesting tussel, in which Bill Sweeney featured for the victors and Anthony Jenusauskas for the Reserves, and in the second pre- linn the Waterbury k. of l.. Girls led by Miss Vaznlkas scored 16 to 10 verdict over the New Haven St Casimlr Girls. Miss Vaznikas scored 10 of the Waterbury Girls points, while Miss Capavich with 6 points starred for the visitors.

Warren Harding Scores 29-27 Victory as Time- keeper Hides Watch Locals Play Naugy Here Saturday @..

Waterbury may be noted for its time pieces, but Bridgeport is now noted for It's timekeepers follow ing Warren Harding's Naugatuck Valley league 20-27 overtime vic- tory over Wilby Saturday after noon. With a few seconds to play, the locals held a one-point lead, but the Park City timekeeper, grab bed his Ingersoll, tucked 1t under his arm away from Billy Gibson's vision, thereby allowing three ex- tra seconds to be played during which time Rocco Rinaldi was de- tected holding by Referee Zeke Chadys who came over to the timers table where a little argu- ment was being sponsored by Gib- son and the Harding timer. Cha dys endeavored to look at the stop watch and see if the second hand was stopped at exactly eight min utes, but to his surprise 1t had been turned back to zero. Eddie Mead, Harding coach, immediately rid himself of the timekeeper. Here, Coach Jimmy Lee protested the game.
 It was too late then, for Delevi- chic made his charity award good knotting the count at 27-all. The three minute overtime was decided when Sal Cagginello dribbled under the hoop with five seconds to play and scored an easy sucker shot to give the Meadmen their third league victory.

BRISTOL -MERIDEN OUINTETS LEADING
 CENTRAL LEAGUE
Both Undefeated to Date Bell Cityites Meet Mid- dletown Friday-Lead- CTS Collide January P

Bristol and Meriden easily turned back their rivals in the Central Connecticut Interscholastic league last week to preserve their unbeaten records and their chances to qualify for the Yale Interschol- astic tournament, maintaining their places at the top of the schoolboy lists with Hillhouse of New Haven, and Hartford, both of which also have clean records.
 The greatest schoolboy upset of the week was New Britain highs victory over Naugatuck, last years champions of Connecticut. The de- feat was the first this season for Coach Pete Foley's team which had beaten some strong teams and appeared to be one of the best ever to represent Naugatuck, which has always placed crack teams in competition for the state title. The Hardware City team edged Naugy by only single point, however, and 1t would be rash to consider Foleys champions eliminated by the one setback.
 The New Britain victory proves, however, that New Britain must be considered formidable threat to Hartford highs chances, and may yet upset Hillhouse to prevent either or both entering the Yale tournament or make the State Tri- angular league title vacant this year. New Britain is to play Hart ford February 6 and March , and will get another chance at Hill house late in the season.
 West Hartford, Middletown and East Hartford have lost every hope of winning the Central Connecticut Interscholastic league champion ship and Manchester, drubbed by each of the leaders, has also been practically eliminated.
 Bristol is slated to meet Middle town at Middletown next Friday night and if Coach Monahan's squad is able to keep its form, the Bell City team will be expected to add it's seventh victory to its sea- sons list.
 Meriden and Bristol are to meet at the Silver City January 22 in a game which may show which is the stronger championship con- tender. Bristol has beaten its league by much larger margins than has Coach Barnikow's squad but the Meriden teams have always given Bristol hot battles and the Silver City hoopmen will be con- coded a slight advantage In meet ing the Monahanmen on their home court.
 The Central Connecticut league records are:

But James Strachan, owner of the Montreal Maroons, raises the ante for iceing and bumps the pro- posed fine to $10,000.
 Both Hammond and Strachan have given statements to the press criticizing Adams for his al- legged unsportsman-like conduct. They both pointed out that shoot ing the puck up the ice, without attempting to play hockey, not only spoiled the game, but was a direct imposition upon persons who bought tickets to see the play.
 o. K. Says He.
 On the other hand, Adams main tains that the price of icing should be a nice big goose egg. In a let ter to the press, he maintains that lobbying the puck down the ice in such a harmless manner is entire- ly within the rules of the Nation- al Hockey league, and that the Bruins in following his orders at Madison Square Garden, did no wrong.
 The Comeback
 President Adams goes further. He declares that the rules provide a fine, from $200 to $1,oo0, for any officials of any club "who goes to the press for publication any state ment reflecting in any way on the conduct of performance of any of- fical." He points out that apparent ly strachan is subject to that clause. He makes no mentoin of Hammond.
 Adams concludes that if the rules are wrong, they should be re- vised.

Oficially. the game is credited to Harding by a 29 to 27 count, arrived at after a three minute overtime period. The basis of pro- test centers around the Harding official timer. who did Houdini with the watch as the waning sec onds of the regular playing time were passing on. Principle Kicker of Harding expressed his willing ness to allow the game to be re- played, though 1t has been officially protested and will be ruled upon at a meeting of the league mem- bers in the near future.
 Rcplay Probable
 Specifically, the Harding timer is charged with deliberately hiding the official watch from view of the Wilby timer as the game neared . close, with Wilby two points in front. It is expected that the game will be ordered replayed as even Coach Meade of Harding took drastic steps Saturday by removing lis timer from the building when he learned what had been going on.
 Second Time
 A similar incident concerning the official watch ocurred a year ago at Ansonia when the timepiece disappeared completely during an Ansonia- Harding game. Appar- ently what is needed at Bridge port is a set of watch-cuffs that will make impossible removal of the ticker until 0 contest is over.

 CARRINCTONS AND COP THRILLERS
Three Overtime Periods in as Many Games Needed to Decide Winners

Brooklyn's versatile and able basketball team have yet to meet a team who can beat them in the City Amateur Basketball league for the past two seasons. Yesterday, they assured themselves of a part in this years playoff, if any, by winning a 30 to 26 overtime game from the .scrappy Washington Hills, & contest, by the way that they were quite fortunate in pull ing out of the fire. for the Hills were going lon high" from the first whistle.
 Good in a Pinch
 However, the Brooklyns have consistently proven that they are greatest when the going gets toughest. Three times within the past ten days they have been pressed right up to the last few minutes and came through when they had to. Such w&s the case yesterday, as Jay Dunn dumped in two field goals during the overtime to sew up the game. The Hills scored first in tho extra session with a couple of foul goals, but Swasey moved in with a field goal to make things all even and then Dunn did his stuff in most con- vincing style.
 Nice Work, Tom
 The champs had six point lead at half time 13 to ' but the Hills cut 1t down in no time during the third period as Maloney and Wall went to work. Terrible Tom Navin came through in great style in the final period with a field and foul goal that tied up the contest and forced an overtime period. Maloney, Wall, Kraft and Cava. naugh were the Hill standouts. while Sheehan, Dunn and Swasey more than did their share in win ming that old ball game. The
