FuyIs auorite
In Derby;Today
Slightly Hurt
By DAVIS J. WALSH

CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louis.
vile, KY, May 4 Q.N.SO.-A per-
sistent sprinkling rain that con-
tinued through the early hours Of
the morning today threatened to
make a slow track of the racing
path prepared for the running of
the sixty-first Kentucky Derby.
The showers, however, did not
slow the crowds, which continued
to jam into Louisville and on out
to Churchill Downs, travelling in
about every known method of
transportation.
A special train arrived from
Florida and scores of men in lin
ems and women in summary attire
rushed to purchase anything avail
able in the way of overcoats.
No Lines Drawn
There were no introductions-
no lines drawn as the carnival
spirit reached the Downs. If the
lady in silk decided to get straight
information from the boy who
ran the elevator, that was that
and no one noticed. Mention any
of the 20 horses still in the line
at one of the crowded dining
rooms and anyone who spoke in
praise or condemnation of that
selection was listened to.
Colorbearer and ChancevieW
were the first two horses to be
scratched. The remaining 20
were expected to go to the post
about 5:45 p. m. (E.S.TO.
The rain stopped before noon
and skies partly cleared. The
track was reported to still be in a
good to excellent" condition. The
mile oval, with its flower-sprinkled
infield and cleaning white and
green stands, had a great crowd
even before noon.
The prediction of Col. Matt
VIM, maestro of the Downs
since remember when, that there
would be a record crowd appeared
sure of fulfillment. 1t was ex-
pected 10000 would see the race.
The betters-and a million dol
lars is expected to be pushed
across the counter-seemed to
veer sharply away from Today
when it was reported that he had
a bruised foot. The staff at the
C. v. Whitney stable admitted
there was an injury, but said it
would make no difference in the
running.
AS Today lost, Nellie Flags
stock went up and she was ex-
pected to be post-time favorite.

White teeth flashing in a smile
a pretty Irish maid who opened
the door of the palatial Chewing
home in the 40 block Garfield st
N. w., gave this answer today tc
a Times reporter.
The atmosphere appear
changed, brighter, less strained
Yesterday a husky private detec

smiling and courteous, he refused
to confirm or deny anything. He
held the half-opened door firmly
as if he feared somebody would
try to break in, and appeared
tense and alert.
Detective Absent
Today the maid talked freely
and no detective appeared. An
other servant plucked her by the
arm and whispered to her that
she was talking to a reporter
Otherwise she was not molested.
Her mistress, Mrs. William JET
ferries Chewing, jr., was out, the
maid said. She evaded questions
as to whether or not the private
detectives were still guarding the
house and insisted brightly that
Everything is just fine"
Asked about the eXtortion let
tiers and kidnapping threats involv'
ing the Chewing children, she
said:
Maybe it was just a scare.
We hope SO, anyway"

|CAVALCADE OFF TO NARRACANSETT
 FALL MEETING.
O'Hara Proposes $5O,0OO TwO-HOrse Race With
 Discovery, Sloane Star

Narragansett Park, R. l., Oct. IA With Cavalcade in Ire van Train CT R. A. (Bob) Smith will send @ strong division of Mrs. Isobel Dodge Sloane's famous Broodmeade Stable to Narragansett Park for the 24-days meeting which opens Monday, Octo- Der q.
 Cavalcade is slated to come out of an enforced retirement to meet Discovery in a $50,000 match race which Walter E. O'Hara has pro- posed for November 9. It will be at a mile and three-sixteenths and each horse will carry 126 pounds.
 Smith has been a liberal nomina- tor in the ten stakes which feature the meeting. Good Goods, Psychic Bid and Black Gift have been nominated for the $10,00O New Eng land Handicap, the highlight of the meeting, while Black Gift and Psy- chic Bid are also eligible for the $5,000 Fall River Handicap and Usychi bid will go in the $3,500 all ages Worcester handicap.
 Coming Up.
 Young Native, a notch below the "Big Three" in class, has been nominated for the Wampanoag and Viking Claiming stakes.
 Smith will hold strong hand in the juvenile lists. He has nominated seven for the various 2-year-old stakes, with Clocks Delphinium, Neap and Prank eligible for the 5000 Pawtucket Handicap and In- dian Broom, Neap and Prank in the the $5,000 Wannamoisett Handicap, which will ask the youngsters to race over mile and seventy yards.
 He also has Paralda and Quick Look available to bolster his strength in the juvenile claiming stakes. Clock and Delphinium will be two of the eleven 2-year-olds nominated to race against older horses in the all ages Worcester Handicap.
 Several other useful members of the Brookmeade establishment will round out the shipmen and Smith is confident that he will have a sue. cessful meeting. He wound up the NarraganSett summer meeting in 8 blaze of glory when on closing day Psychic Bid set new six furlongs track record of 1:10 Is in the Nor- wich Handicap and Good Goods won the 5000 Rochambeau Handi- cap,

past. Observe any group of young football players warming up and it immediately will become obvious that the ball is thrown much oftsn- CT than it is punted. Drop-kickhng and place-kicking are likewise ne- glected.
 The outcome is that more boys can pass better than ever, but fin- ished kickers are decreasing in numbers, despite the act that skill full bunting is just as vital to win- ming football as it ever was.
 Even before all this lateral busi- ness you often heard the question, "Why do they call it football?" Nowadays, each college coach de- votes 8 few precious minutes of each drill to having his entire squad toss footballs about, and the boys get up a line of chatter that makes them sound like flock of baseball infielders at fielding prac- tice.
 Lateral passing is the weapon of the moment. Much concentration is being placed upon it. Its promi- hence brought about a ruling that the ball is not dead until the ref eree's whistle blows and that the ball can be thrown, even though forward progress has been stoppd, provided the passer retains suffi- cient control of his body to do so Passers Must Call Shots
 Down field lateral passing re- quires boise, balance, and control to be successful and if resorted to pro- miscuously will prove the downfall of many teams. If not successful, 1t means loss of the ball. If thrown the least bit forward the ball is brought back to the spot of the previous down and all the ground gained previously is lost.
 Many players will endeavor to throw the ball to a teammate when tackled regardless of their ability to do so with a resultant loss of yardage, or the ball, in many in- stances.
 Lateral passing, like forward pas- sing, can only be used to advantage on the basis of strong fundamental strength. However, the more the ball is thrown the greater the de- light of the spectators. regardless of its real help to the club using 1t.
 Colgate, Columbia, and Ohio State made more profitable use of the la- teral pass in 1884 than any other outfits. but their good fortune with 1t was founded on hard charging lines and powerful backfields, not on wild, promiscuous ball throwing that depends on chance for its suc- cess.
 Other outstanding arrays, such as Minnesota and Pittsburg, used the lateral sparingly. and did not ne- glect other departments of the game, especially not kicking.

DISCOVERY AND
 COUNT ARTHUR IN
 BIG $25,OOO RACE
Famous Horses GO to Post Wednesday at Suffolk
 Downs

Boston, Mass, Oct. 15--With the arrival yesterday of Discovery and Count Arthur practically all of the starters in Wednesdays $25,OOO Massachusetts Handicap are at Suf- folk Downs. The Vanderbilt un-' loaded in god condition after an im- pressive workput in Maryland before shipping. Count Arthur, Mrs. J. D. Hertz's good son of Reign Count, is also in top trim and Trainer Franh Hackett will have no excuses in the event of defeat. Hackett arrived at the track Monday to supervise the final tuning-up of the classy three year-old.
 We'll Loaded.
 Discovery will be given a final breeze at the local course before post time Wednesday, and with 138 pounds in the saddle he should give his usual good account of him. self. J. Bejshak will be up on the son of Display, although some doubt exists as to who will ride Toy Row, considered by many the closest rival of Discovery for handicap honors. George Woolf may be seen on the Baroni colt on Wednesday after noon while Wayne Wright, who booted Top Row home in the Mar ragansett Special, may handle Count Arthur. F. Mann will definitely be astride E. F. Seagram's Stand Pt, and other leading American riders will have the mount on other start CTS in the race.
 Classy EquireS.
 With post time now little more than 24 hours of the field shapes up in this style: Discovery, Howard, Top Row, Ann O'Ruley, Time Sup ply, Psychic Bid, Good Gamble, Patchpocket, Whopper, Count Ar thur and Stand Pat. It will be one of the classiest fields to face starter in the country this year, and under Charles McLennan's weights the finish should be hard fought and exciting. Many of the owners be- lieve that their color bearers have a ropal chance under this weight assignment and the entry list will be studded with stars.
 Only one handicap eligible was seen on the training track Monday morning when Howard went an im- pressive six furlongs in 1:13. How ard was only whipped one length by Discovery in the Narragansett Spec ial and the Araho Stable believe that he may be the one to upset the king, should Top Row fail.
 With interest in the race high throughout New England and the country, officials of the Eastern Racing Association are surrounding the featured race with seven other high class events, attracting the best horses on the grounds. Many applications for boxes and reserved seats are already on hand, and signs point to the largest attendance of the Fall on Handicap day, Wednes- day, Oct. 16.
