COX BROTHERS
TEAM NOW IN
FIRST PLACE

To the accompaniment Of brisk,
cool wind coming down over the
valley the Cox Brothers nightball
team whitewashed the Golden
State team at Wilson field last
night. The score was 40 and the
victory put the Grocers out in
front in the league race.
In spite of the brisk wind which
seemed favorable to the clouting of
many homeruns and other extra
base hits, each team had to be
satisfied with but five bingles
apiece, only one of which was for
extra bases-a double. The grocerS
capitalized on their hits to manu-
facture the runs needed to win the
old ball game.
Ellis of the buttermakers was the
only batter of the evening to get
more than one hit and he batted
500 for the evening with two hits
out of four trips to the plate. Each
team made two misplays those by
the losers figuring heavily in the
scoring
The big scoring inning was the
third when the grocers made three
runs on three passes, two errors
and a hit. They scored their final
run in the seventh when Beechey
got a walk and came around on L.
Williams tWo-base clout.
Tonight, weather permitting, the
Coca Cola and Cramer Bakery
teams will fight it out. The latter
team is anxious to keep pace with
the grocers and the bottlers feel
that they have a good chance to
upset the bakers and get into the
pennant race in earnest. This is
enough to make it real ball game.
Tomorrow night the Studebakers
will take OH the Fat Boys in the
last game for the present week.

RACE BETTORS
LIKE COLOMBO
To WIN DERBY

LONDON. June 5-U.P)- While
half a million persons prepared to
climb the rails at Epson Downs to-
morrow, smart bettors we're Won
dering how any colt can out
distance Lord Glanely's over
whelmingly popular Colombo in
the historic English derby.
Unbeaten in nine races, the bay
colt, sired by Mamma, 1925 derby
winner, ruled the wagers at firm
odds of 7 to 4.
A sudden and surprising twist
has made Windsor Lad, the Maha-
raja of Rajpipla's entry, a strong
factor. Considered a lazy colt,
the Indian-owned horse is quoted
at IL to /. The veteran derby rider
Charlie Smirke, who has never
booted home a winner in the his
toric ride, will ride Windsor Lad
in the 12-furlong race.
The two other entries given
chances to crowd the Lord Glene-
ly colt are the French-bred Easton,
owned by Lord Woolavington, and
the Aga Kahn's Umidwar. Both
are listed as 10 to l. Easton's
great showing at the 1000 guineas
test at Newmarket, where he ran
second to Colombo, has drawn a
lot of backing, but some of the
best judges of horse flesh regard
Umidwar as the best bet against
Colombo.
The only American entry, Will
liam Woodward's Bondsman, has
little support, being quoted far
down the list and given little
favor among the experts.

Otuttt ETcSS othl SOttCopOhoChS
EPSON DOWNS, England, June
s. UP)- A few facts, odd and
otherwise, on the derby to be run
here tomorrow.
The derby was originated at a
dinner table discussion, and was
first run in 1880. 1t might have
been called the Bunbury stakes had
not a flip of a coin decided the
twelfth Earl of Derby should give
his name to it instead of Sir
Charles Bunbury.
The first race had only nine
starters and a crowd of fewer than
500 saw the race. Tomorrow there
will be better than half million
spectators.
Although known as the greatest
of all flat races, the Derby is not SC
flat after all. Horses begin to
climb from the start and in less
than a mile they are as high as
Nelson's monument at Trafalgar
Square. Before the final brief rise
to the post there is drop of about
100 feet.
King Edward, with Minors in
1909, was the only British monarch
ever to win the race, and then only
by a nose. There have been two
dead heats - Cadland and the
Colonel in 1923, and Saint Gagatien
and Harvester in 1884.
Whereas only one filly won the
Kentucky Derby, five fillies have
copped the derby here.
The richest derby was in 1927
when Call Boy earned better thar
100000. .
The smallest horse ever to wiz
was Little Wonder, who stood Il
hands. The race was once won by
a Ringer" in 1884, Running Race
being first in, but investigation
proved he was really a four-year-
old named Maccabeus.
The king does not have the best
seat at the derby. That honor goes
to Mrs. Emma Clark, who owns the
hotel ("pub'D near the inning post.
BY moving from room to room
Emma is able to watch the entire
show from saddling to the finish.
She refuses to lease rooms for
derby day.
Only three Americans - Pierre
Lorillard, Boss Croker and William
C. Whitney ever won the derby.
Two horses won in their first ap-
pearances on a race track-Amato
in 1888 and Merry Hampton in
1912.
King George is still trying to win
a derby His nearest approach came
in 1918 when his Amer led in the
stretch only to have a woman
jump over the rail under Amer's
feet. Amer stumbled and the Wom-
an died.
No woman ever sent a winner to
the post, but Lady Jane Douglas
won War Derby" at Newmarket
in 1918. The Newmarket race was
substituted, as EPSON Downs was a
military camp.
Lord Roseberry was the only
Prime Minister to win the race,
getting two in succession in 1894
and 1895. The feat was so rare the
Imperial Valley press., 1934-06-05

House of Commons cheered when it
heard the news.
Clairvoyants have a big week be-
fore the derby, as thousands of
people consult them before betting.
The highest price ever paid a
derby winner was 100 to l on
Signor Rinata in 1908, Jaddah in
1893 and Aboyeur in 1913.
Lightning and thunder were
given credit for Saint Amant's VIC
tory in 1904. He was a poor horse
with little of record, but just as
the barrier went up a terrific storm
broke and he was SO frightened he
won by a length in record time.
Great fortunes have been won and
lost on the race, and there are old
families living almost in poverty in
England today because their ances-
tors wagered too much on Derby
Day.

When sectionals of the state high

state indoor title from its intra-city
rival, Froebel. won the Northeastern
Indiana Conference championship

point separated the Horsemen and

At the same time, Kokomo was
winning the North Central Confer
ence championship with ease. The
Wildcats scored IS points. Kokomo
was second in the state indoor meet.
Gary CF'roebeD which had ruled
almost everything in Hoosier high

fifth in the state indoor tourna-
ment and was sixth in last weeks
northeastern meet. Most of last
years Froebel trackmen were lost

An undefeated school in the
southern section of the state,

championship last week, breaking
three conference records. Ft. Wayne,
