DERBY'S
HYPERION
WINNER

EPSON DOWNS, England, May
81 QNS0-In honor Of the
family the classic was named
after, Lord Derby's Hyperion won
the English derby here today.
King Salmon was second and
Statesman. one Of the three Am
er1can-owned entries. third.
Hyperion paid 6 to l, King
Salmon to l, and Statesman
20 to /.
The favorite, Manitoba, owned
by Lord Wollavington, failed to
place.
Sets Record
The race was never exciting,
despite the fact that Hyperion set
q new record for the course Of 2
minutes and "a seconds. The last
record was 2:34 2-5, established
by Call Boy in 1927 and equalled
by Falstead the following year.
Hyperion's time was first an
nounced as three minutes flat,
which coincided with the popular
view that it was slow run. AS
o result, there was much surprise
when the stewards laconically an
nounced they had made a mistake
and that Hyperion had actually
hung up a record. He won by four
lengths.
Crowd of Million
The field of "a got away from
the post in glorious weather be-
fore a crowd Of almost a million,
which included King George,
Queen Mary, and other members
OF the royal family.
Scarlet Tiger, owned by Lord
Durham, finished fourth.
Manitoba 6 to l
Right up to post time, Manitoba
was the outstanding favorite at
6 to l, but in keeping with Derby
tradition, the horse never was a
real threat.
Many bets had been placed on
Hyperion. It was estimated that
more than $5O,00O,OOO was at
stake when the field got away for
the mile and a half run around
the famous course.
Statesman is owned by Victor
Emanuel, the Westbury, Long Is
land, millionaire, who has long
been prominent on the British
turf.
The other American entries
were Myosotis, owned by Wash
angton Singer, and Franz Halls,
owned by John Mccormick, the
noted tenor.
In addition to the King and
Queen, the Prince of Wales was
In his place in the royal enclo-
sure. Also present were Prince
George, the Duke and Duchess of
York, and Princess Mary, daugh-
ter of the King and Queen. as
well as her husband, the Earl of
HareWood.

REDS ARE SOF 7
FOR CARDS

The st. Louis Cardinals, who
have won So of their II games
with Cincinnati since 1929, are
again using the Reds as stepping
stones up the National League
pennant path. They played
6vengali with the Redlegs twice
yesterday, to 4 and 3 to 2,
and advanced to within half a
game Of the league-leading Pirates.
The latter broke even with the
Cubs, winning the first, 81. Pat
Malone bested the Bucs in the
nightcap, 6 to 2.
The Giants and Dodgers di-
vided their doubleheader, the
former coping the initial game,
2-1, with the Dodgers annexing
the second duel, 81. The Phil
lies downed the Braves, 2 to /,
in a game halted in the seventh
inning by rain.
The Athletics jumped to within
half a game of the Griffmen
by smacking the Red Sox down
twice, 7 to 3 and II to 8, even
though Boston made 20 hits in
the second game to 13 for the
AS. Iron Man" Lefty Grove,
in his new role as daily relief
pitcher, saved both games for
the Mackmen. He has mopped
up for the AS in eight of their
last ten games, being credited
with victory in four.
After Bull" Durham, of the
White Sox, hold Cleveland to five
hits, winning Z to 2, the Indians
went on the warpath, shellacked
six Chicago pitchers for % hits
and massacred the Sox, IS to 8.
Joyner White drove in four runs
as Detroit downed the Browns,
8 to 6, but Herbert pitched st.
Louis to a to l victory in the
nightcap.

RED SOX FANS
LAUD COLLINS

Moves by the Boston American
: ague club officials to improve
the team are being acclaimed in
New England. The first real
steps to build a winner are meet
ing with approval and better days
are in store for the club.
Incidentally Eddie Collins has
announced that he is looking for
no more outfielders, being salts
fled with his present assortment,
which gives him hitting power
and speed. Manager Marty Nc
Manus says that the Red Sox are
now one of the best and speed
lest teams in the league.
The theory that what was
needed at the Hub was hitting
without speed has been discarded.
Lines are out for some infield
talent, but the identity of the
players sought has not been re-
vealed.

Roy johnson, Dusty Cooke and
Tom Oliver. There is batting
power and speed in that group.
Johnson can run, hit and throw
with the best of them, and Oliver
has branched out as a real wal
loper this year.
Cooke, of course, has to prove
his ability, but he has been trailed
by a scout for the Boston team
all season. George Pipgras has
assured Collins that Cooke is one
of the greatest baseball prospects
and will prove to the Red Sox
that there is something more than
speed in his makeup.
The Yankees would like to
have kept a string on Cooke, who
almost ruined his career chasing
a fly ball. A natural hitter with
the bulk of a Slugger, Cooke
caught the fancy of the Yankee
scout down in Dixie when he was
a kid. It is said that $4,000 was
paid for him and $4,000 more
was added to that figure when,
through a clerical error, the New
York club lost title to his SER
vices when he was farmed to St.

But no, it was not foul. according
to Owens, as he waved to Gehrig
to continue around the bases.
BY this time it daWned on both
the Griffs and the thousands in
the stands that an almost unbe-
lievable decision had been rer-
dered. Whitehil's expression was
that of a soldier dumbstruck. The
feelings of the fans were almost
the same, as the ball, to their eye

Owens did not bulge during the
words which followed, nor did he
even make a step towards Base
Umpire Roy Van Graflan, whose
views may be appealed to in in
cidents of this type. The bah was
fair, was all he had to say, and he
had nothing more to say about it.
Job in Balance
Cronin and his men finally took
their places, but not until after
they had made it clear that they
were playing under protest. Moth
ing may result from this protest,
but it's sure thing that Owens
future job as an American League
umpire hangs in the balance, par
ticularly if league officials have

NAMES NEEDED
IN SPORTS

NEW YORK, May 31.-Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody, otherwise
Public Favorite No. l in almost
any list of distinguished guests,
came to town the other day,
pausing briefly for a few hours
] on Fifth Avenue and at Forest
Hills. She was on her way to
Wimbledon, and, in passing,
didn't have time for more than
a nod. Yet she created quite a
stir in the public prints. She
always does. In fact, she ought
to. She is about all that is
left of the Great Personalities of
the golden age of sports a few
years ago; sure-fire figures that
hit the headlines and made them
live and breathe and vibrate.
"Reader-IntereSt"
They had what is known as
"reader-interest." The name was
enough. What they did was i'm
portant largely for one reason
because they did it. The answer?
There may be several. illusion
=. prestige. personality -. b u t
does it matter? The point is
that they couldn't go wrong.
The laird of the links, Robert
T. Jones, jr., was one of them.
He's retired. Tennis has never
been quite the same without
Tilden. He's still around some
where, but finished and a little
declasse. Tunney kept boxing
alive with strange and sonorous
utteranceS. He's now a country
gentleman. Whatever Rickard
did was news. He's dead.
AS for Dempsey, the best of
them all, he's still On view as a
promoter. But no matter how
great his reputation, there is no
record of anybody ever going out
to watch a man promote. When
Dempsey stopped fighting, his
news value stopped, too.
Hagen, Benny Leonard, Grange
and the incompatible Lenglen all
came to greatness during the era
Of plenty. So did Sande, the
jockey; Man O. War, the horse;
Weissmuller, the swimmer, and
Nurmi, the antelope.
Ruth Still Around
So did Ruth, the man who took
baseball out of the petty cash
into the realm of big business.
He's still around, but languishing.
That isn't exactly what the
sport business is doing nowadays
but it isn't booming, at that,
and promoters will tell you it's
because the money isn't there.
perhaps it's significant or merely
unfortunate; bat the Big Names

MI TUAL MIN {
OWNS CRACK
PLAYERS
BY SID KATZNELL

Who is this guy Ray Smith?
He's the fellow who plucked
stars right out of heaven to per-
form with his Smiths Mutual
Life Insurance baseball team.
Smith was ably assisted by
that rare personality of the sand
lot sport world, Harry (Tony)
Shurman. Tony turned over sew
eral crack Warwick aces to Ray,
who in return appointed him
assistant manager and coach.
The players who Shurman gave
the Insurance outfit are Arthur
Chopin, who played with the
Tate midgets in 1925 when the
latter was one of the leaders in
it's class: Fats Reidy, another old
Tate jewel; Joe Cicala, one of
the surest fielders on the local
sandlots; Charlie Mackie, who is
capable pitcher, and Eddie
Keith, who is known for his
bowling proWeSS.
Bolstered BY Others
This stellar collection Of husk-
les are bolstered by Neil Skog-
land, B. Baird, speed" Walker,
Eddie Eddinger, Mack Eddin-
ger, Jimmy Johnson, Belcahan,
Charles H. Smith and Del zahn.
Much has been written about
Otis Zahn, all around athlete at
George Washington University,
but little has been written about
his older brother Del, at least in
recent years.
Del captained Tech basketball
team several years back and
played on Maryland University
basketball team about four years
ago. Now he's performing in fine
fashion at the keystone sack for
the Mutual nine. What a hitter
that boy is. Every time Del comes
to bat, Manager Smith smiles.
Eddinger Is Good
Eddie Eddinger is known for
his football ability but he sure
can play baseball.
Coach Shurman says about
speed" Walker:
"Speed certainly can pitch
ball. In a few years he'll be
one of the best pitchers on the
SandIOts and right now he can
give the best of them a run for
their money"
The Mutual boys will play
mostly out-of of-town games. Thus
far they have won two games,
downing Fort Washington and

RACE RECHECk
GIVES MOORE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 81.
After a recheck of the record
breaking speed established in the
running of the annual 500-mile
automobile race here, timing Off
cialS today announced two changes
in the list of winners.
One change sent Lou Moore, Of
Los Angeles into third place and
dropped Chester Gardner, of Long
Beach, Cal, to fourth position.
The other change eliminated Cliff
Bergere, Los Angeles, from the
prize money, and substituted Lu-
ther Johnson, of South Bend, in
tenth place.
Chester S. Kicker, director Of
timing and scoring for the race
announced Moore's average speed
for the race as 101.599 miles an
hour and Gardner'S as 101.182.
Johnson's revised speed was 97.287
miles an hour and Bergere's was
96.536. Only IA of the ~ cars
that started, finished the full 500
miles.

ing. They are dead.
Spangler, who figured in the
miShaps at the treacherous south
east turn, died of his injuries in
the field hospital after the race
was concluded.
Billman was the victim of q
crash that will never be explained.
He lost control of his car on the
southeast turn, skidded and hur-
tied headlong into the wall. Both
he and his mechanic were in
jured Billman succmubing an hour
and a half later in the hospital.
Killed as Car Skids
The mishap that snuffed out
the life of Jordan occurred when
Malcolm Fox's car threw a wheel
and Spangler was unable to avoid
crashing into the disabled speed
Ster.
Meyer averaged 104.162 miles
an hour to better last years
marks of 104:144 established by
Fred Frame. This despite the
frequent slowing of the cars by
officials due to the maddening
number of wrecks and crashes.
Meyer was never worse than
fifth during the entire 500 miles,
and after the first SO miles he
was never back of third. His con-
siStency was superb. At the ap
pointed time, he took the lead
going into the last 200 miles and
was never headed.
Stock Cars Do Well
The result of the race was an
excellent commentary on the
merits of semistock cars, despite
the fact that the first four cars
to finish were built with special
motors. All five of the Stude.
baker cars entered crossed the
finish line.
Both Meyer and Wilbur Shaw,
who was second, made only three
stops at the pits.

Why Turkeys Are Bald

Have you ever wondered why the turkey looks bald and seems to have blisters on his head? There Is an old legend among the Indians of North America. the original home of the bird, to account for this. They say that at the beginning of one winter the fire of the world had all been ex- tinguished except one tiny spark in the hollow of tree. And It was dy- ing. It would have gone out if the turkey hadn't kept 1t alive by fam ming 1t with Its wings. AS the heat increased all the feathers were singed off his head, but he kept on flaming and so gave fire back to the world. So the turkeys bald head and "blis- ters" are really a badge of honor.- Answers Magazine.

Why It I. Called "Parson Bird"

A small black bird, one of the honey eaters of New Zealand and Australia, is called the parson bird because of two prominent globular lappets of white feathers on each side of its throat which resemble the white lawn "bands" of Church of England clergyman. In action, however, this little bird more nearly resembles a circus clown than dignitied clergy man, for it delights in turning somer- saults and performing other remark able antics while flying. It is popular as a cage bird because of its beauti- full singing and it's great powers of mimicry.
