DERBY TODAY REAL
CAVALCADE TEST.
Kentucky Victor Must Spot
Rivals Big Weight Pull
in American Classic.

Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, June 2.-When
4 the hoofs cease flying
I and the winning num-
~ bers go up for the pay
off in the American Derby at
Washington Park today, the
sport of kings will know whether
Cavalcade is a really great g.
year-old champion.
The little chestnut" from Mrs.
Isabel Dodge Sloane's Brookmeade
Stable proved he was a champion
in the Kentucky Derby by soundly
whipping his three foremost rivals
Discovery, Singing Wood and Mata
Hari-at equal weights. Today, he
must prove his greatness in the Amer
ican Derby by spotting the same trio
and seven others a big pull in the
weights and more advantageous post
positions. He must defy tradition,
too, for no horse since Spokane, in
1889, has succeeded in winning both
the Kentucky and American Derbies.
Upward of $4,000 people, a record
throng. were expected to watch the
duel over the gruellng route Of a
mile and a quarter on the fast but
soft-cushioned track.
Despite his disadvantages, Caval-
cade was an early morning line IA
vorite of 2 to to lug his top weight
OF l26 pounds to victory with the
help of a fast-breaking stablemate,
Anarchy.
Discovery, ranked as the second
favorite at 8 to l, while Singing Wood
was given an equal chance with Mata
Hart at 6 to /. Mata Hari carried
the lightest weight, 116 pounds, be-
cause she was the only flly in the
race.

CAVALCADE, a slow starter, was
" under a distinct handicap at
the post alignment. He drew
the No. l position, next to the rail
whereas Singing Wood was placed at
No. 5. Discovery at No. 7 and Mata
Hari next to the outside. With such

Word was relayed from Rome by
Stephen Richard Watts, the cele-

alarmed and annoyed by this news,

of Max's "The Prizefighter and the

A Popular Victory.

A HAGEN victory or Mac Smith
n victory would be extremely
popular, dipping as it would
into the games tradition. Hagen tells
us that he intends to be ready with
the best he has to give-with more
concentration on this title than he
has shown sometimes when the finan-
cial road was lined with more silver
and gold than it carries today.
Mac Smiths heaviest liability is
overeagerness to win one major scep-
ter before the competitive years run
out. This shows especially around
the greens when the mocking cup
seems to move or shift as the balls
