Bradley Being Watched
For Charm of Three

NOAOAACA OA aNACJ WAAdV Wdo 41Lo
business,
The Charm of Three
We figure that anybody who
didn't know the Colonel is a
gambler would not know of the
remarkable Derby performances
of his horses dating back as far
as 1921, and so a little refresh
ing of their memories today
might not be amiss.
All gamblers play lunches,
and there is said to be some
lucky omen about things run
ming in threes. Thus Colonel
Bradley'S Blue Again and Ba-
zaar will be played pretty
heavily today by those super
stitious souls who actually be-
lieve that events run to trios.
It's as good a hunch as any.
We believe if one of Colonel
Bradley's horses did come
through today and make his
victories three in a row, he
could die the happiest man in
the world, and if not that, GER
tainly the happiest in Ken
lucky. Furthermore, if the
combination of Bazaar and
Blue Again should finish one
two, making it the third time
Bradley horses have turned that
trick, he could die even a little
happier.
Everybody's Home Today
So the old Kentucky Home is
home to about $4,000 today who
have made the annual pilgrim
age to Americas foremost turf
event. There isn't redblooded
citizen in the country who
wouldn't like to be on hand to
see the parade to the post and
hear the incompatible glaying
of "Old Kentucky Home" by
the silver cornet band as the
horses leave the paddock for the
barrier.
If you've never been present
when they rendered that air
at Louisville on Derby Day, then
you've never heard the number
done as its author intended.
They play it almost as a dirge,
so it makes lump come in your
throat and a tear in your eye,
and somehow you are proud to
be in Kentucky on that particu-
lar day and at that particular
hour.
There will be many of the
eighteen entries in there today
trying to duplicate efforts of
previous winners.
They'll all be trying to do
what Aristides did by winning
the first Derby SO years ago.
Sir Thomas, the A. B. Cor
dan entry and a maiden, will
try to equal the efforts of that
other maiden which won in 1882,
Apollo. And Bazaar and Mata
Hari will try to climb to the
same pinnacle that the first
and last winning filly, Regret,
did in 1915.
The richest purse the Derby
ever paid was $55,375, when
Reigh Count won, when there
were % starters, the largest
field in it's history, in 1928.
The best time was accomplish
ed by Twenty Grand, who went
the mile and a quarter in
2:01 As in 1881. The longest
odds every paid on a winner
was 90 to / on Donerail in 1913,
And good luck to you today,
Colonel Bradley!

Derby's the Thing
Old Kentucky Home
Played in Louisville
By KIRK MILLER

It is pretty difficult today to
scare up any kind of a sports ar
gument that hasn't something
to do with the winner of the
Kentucky Derby, which will be
run at lazy old Louisville this
evening along about the time
the clock in the New York Ave
hue Presbyterian Church strikes
six.
Baseball and tennis and golf
and the other forms of recre-
ational hysteria are paled by the
fascination which the annual
May classic down yonder in
blue grass sections holds for
the average sport fan.
To use a familiar phrase, all
eyes seemed to be turned toward
the sleepy little town on the
banks of the Ohio River, where
the distillery stacks are belching
forth with a fury and industry
the likes Of which hasn't been
seen in those parts for over a
decade and a half.
Bradley Holds EN-
And more particularly these
eyes seem to be on the two
horse entry of one Col. E. R.
Bradley, of LeXington's famous
Idle Hour stud farm-Blue
Again and Bazaar, the latter a
filly, who will be in there try
ing to repeat what only one filly
has ever accomplished. That
was Regret. who copped the
Derby back there in 1915.
You will notice that in refer
ring to Colonel Bradley we have
avoided the phrase "One-Two
Ed" which is universally applied
to him because twice his horses
have won and placed in Ken
lucky Derbies. But we will go
into that a little later.
What we wish to do is to ex-
plain why we do not call him
One-Two Ed" We merely wish
to be somewhat original today
and figured we might be the
only writer who didn't fall back
on the familiar phrase "One-
Two Ed" and Heaven help us,
we hope to stick to that deter
mination throughout this story.
Bradley's Won Four
For the benefit of the Con-
gressmen who are still lettering
around Washington we will re-
peat that Colonel Bradley has
already won four Derbies. He
won his first one in 1921 with
Behave Yourself, his Black Serv-
ant finishing second.
Then in 1926 Colonel Brad
ley came through again with
Bubbling Over, his stablemate
Bagenbaggage getting the place
money. Just two years ago
Burgoo King headed the big
field at Churchill Downs and
last May along about this time
Brokers Tip gave Colonel Brad
ley, his fourth Derby winner
and his second straight in two
years.
Now those facts are not given
as news, for they are almost
household information, like
knowing enough to put hak-
ing soda on a burn, but they
are repeated more for the 5ene-
fit of certain legislators up on
Capitol Hill, who a few weeks
ago had the ignorance to ask

man into a panic. If you, your
self, ever want to put up a top
notch "saIes-resistance," start
out by looking like a round
faced prospect and then, once
the, sales-talk has begun, turn
into a square.jawed long-face.
You'll have a crazy salesman on
your hands, but you won't have
to buy anything.
They've got it all mapped out.
A round-faced buyer is supposed
to be a push-over for items OF
luxury. The salesman must
adopt an Oriental air, accom-
panied by a slight leer, and pos
Sibly a covert squirt from an
atomizer of Turkish perfume.
To mention only one round
faced possibility, how about Her
bert Hoover?
Triangular faced customers
are supposed to be more amen
able to logic and reason. The
suuare-faced ones should be
lied, not forced" People with
a wide space between the eyes
are an easy market for canned
goods and free seeds. People
who show yellow under the chin
when a buttercup is held there
are crazy about butter. All you
have to do is to try out a couple
Of things.
Some time, statesmen will come
to realize that the thing can
work both ways. When am
confronted by a square-jawed
salesman, who knows exactly
how to sell me, I wouldn't
buy his product if it were con-
centrated Breath of Life. A
triangular-faced talker gets no
further with me. But good,
round-faced, luxury-loving, in
efficient salesman, who doesn't
know quite how to go about it,
could sell me that old Civil
War mortar out on Governors
Island.
We customers have our scien-
