He's a King Indeed

To the victor belongs the
spoils and nothing should be
taken away from the great race
run by Burgoo King, who got
away splendidly, was well rated
and won so handily in the last
quarter of mile that there could
be no question of his supremacy.
Economic too put up a fight
and was carrying the burden Of
setting the pace until Burgoo
King, who had been laying
third, decided to make an issue
Of it in the last three-eighths.
There is an old phrase to the
effect that them what has,
gets" and it is brought to mind
in the winning of the Kentucky
Derby by Col. E. r. Bradley's
magnificent house of thorough.
breds, Of Lexington, KY, just
2 hours and 40 minutes out Of
louisville as the fastest trains
fly.
Now, Mr.. Bradley is what
many folks choose to call a gen.
tleman of chance. That is to
say, he is something of a gam
bier as well as a breeder of
thoroughbreds, and what he
hasn't got Of this worlds goods
isn't worth having, particularly
since he picked up about $4,000
In the Derby last Saturday,
which does not include what he
had bet-mind you he's a gen.
tleman of chance-in the winter
books.

BROWN HURLS
7 Today IN
OPENER
By GARRETT WATERS

Plenty of interesting baseball
is promised washington this week
as the Griffs face the Cleveland
Indians and the Detroit Tigers.
The Indians open a three-game
series here today while the Tigers
arrive Thursday for a stay until
Saturday.
AS these two clubs are the two
most improved entries in this
years race, the Griffs have quite
an important week before them,
because to win against this oppo-
sition means just as much right
now as winning from the Yanks
and AS, supposed chief rivals for
the gonfalon.
Believing that his two lefties,
Lloyd Brown and Carl Fischer,
go better against these clubs than
any in the league, Manager Wal
ter Johnson intimated today that
he planned to use both nurlers
as often as possible in the two
sets.
Brown HurlS Today
This easily pictures the starters
for the next two days, as Brown
no doubt will be given the nod
today and Fischer, tomorrow.
Professor Monte Weaver, in all
likelihood, will pitch Wednesdays
final game against the Indians.
Holding up Brown and Fischer
in favor of another pitcher ex.
plains JohnSon'S reasons for call.
ing upon Marberry yesterday.
The earnest working pilot could
have used either Lloyd or Carl
as starters yesterday-as both
were ready-but called upon Mar
berry instead because he figured
his two left-handers could be
worked to more advantage against
the Indians than against the Sox.
AS things turned out, the gam.
ble-for it was a gamble with
Marberry still a little weak from
his early season grippe attack
did not work in Johnson'S favor
as Big Fred was hit hard by the
Sox and ultimately withdrawn
from the box while Burke, Big
Fred's successor, was cleaned for
damaging hits which scored runs.
However, perseverance bore it.
self out for Johnson in the end
as the GriffS went to work on
Ted Lyons, Chisox hurler, in the
fourteenth inning and gathered
the margin sufficient to win.
Indians Strong
The Cleveland Indians, by the
way, will present a battling col
lection of ball tossers in their
series here. At least such is
their rating in view of triumphs
over the Philadelphia A'S the
past two days.
This means the Griffs face an
unusually important set of con-
tests as the Indians are out to
keep up a torrid pace in this
years race if they never do
again.
Wesley Ferrell, in all likeli-
hood, will be Manager Peckin.
paugh's hurler for the initial
game Of the set today. The star
pitcher was in the stands yes
terday along with Howard
Shanks, coach and former Griff,
spying his rivals. Ferrell proved
mighty tough man to beat last
year, it will be remembered, and
it is very possible that he will
prove Just as troublesome this
year, if not more.
Let's hope not. as the Griffs
need to win, as said several
paragraphs above, just as much
now as against the Yanks and
AS. At any rate these games
against the Indians, also the
Tigers, lest they are forgotten.
will be interesting to say the
least.

his aids and the head groom
and his flunkies will get a CORE
Epondingly greater amount, &C.
cording to their rank in the
Bradley stablehold. Jockey
Eugene James, too, will get five

There was less than a million
dollars bet at the Downs on
Derby Day, this glorious year of
our Lord Nineteen Hundred and
Thirty-two, which stands in poor
contrast to $1,374,0O0 bet last
year and $1,644,0O0 the year
before. In 1929, the last spring
of prosperity, the turnover in
the machines was $1,79O,O00,
while 1928 drew out 1880, 900
against $1,934, 900 in 1927 and
$2,096, 900 in 1926.
But here, what are you and I
doing mumbling over such fig
ures as those? Let's come down

about who's going to win the
