DERBY LOOMS
AS WIDE OPEN
AFFAIR

LOUISVILLE. KY, April IS.
The loud chorus of Chance Sun
Chance Sun" grew noticeably
fainter today and all along the
rail could be heard the old refrain,
sits anWbody'S race" swelling out
stronger than before.
Those thigh" on the Sun horse
today insisted they are as high
as ever, but between telling how
sure they were that the Joseph E.
Widener colt is going to take the
61st Kentucky Derby the boosters
for the favorite paused to ask,
what happened yesterday"
After track hangerS-on thought
work for the day was over Trainer
Pete Coyne called on the favored
one. The track had been worked
over since the morning gallops
and was in good shape.
Worked with Chance Sun
silversmith, dependable pace
maker, worked with Chance Sun
to urge him on. The pair galloped
three quarters with q pony to
loosen up and then broke in front
of the stands.
At the quarter it was :25 2-5.
At the half so 3-5. At six furlongs
1:16 3-5. Coyne shook his head
and signaled to the boy to give
the Sun his head. It was the first
time the colt has had a free chance
during workouts. With his head
loose and urged on by Silversmith,
though, the mile took 1:43 2-5 and
the mile and an eighth 1:57 3-5.
The Widener three-year-old and
several others have beaten that
when the track was bad and Coyne
admitted he was not pleased.
Wins Higher Praise
Warren Wright'S Nellie Flag,
newly-arrived from Lexington, won
higher praise of the spectators.
This lone feminine hope for a
win, second money juvenile of 1884,
took only 1:13 3-5 for the six fur
longs, passing the half-mile point
as the watches licked 48 Is.
Chanceview, caSt-off from the
Widener string when it was de-
cided to put everything on Chance
Sun, pleased its owner, John
Flanagan, with a :49 half and five
SurlongS at 1902 rs.

COLTS RELEASE
COCKY' MEDLER

Herman "Cocky" Medler. of
Chevy Chase, Md, is back home
today after receiving his release
from the Richmond Colts, of the
Piedmont League.
His release came as a distinct
surprise to Richmond fans who
saw him hurl creditable ball last

in so ball games out of 1874 and
and received credit for winning IL.
Half a dozen defeats were
charged up against him.
Russell pitched 10 innings in
the '33 world series and was not
credited with victory nor charged

This year Russell seems to be
in better form than he has been

pitching technique is concerned,

here. / got Kingfish Levinsky
lined up for the ball park this
summer and / want to match
him with Marty Gallagher.
A Two-Legged Man
"See land at this juncture
Ahearn has you by both lapels
instead of One) big national
name with a popular local boy.
AT Oughtta catch the customers,
a double pull; 'ats what l call
it."
Well, you've just got to agree
with a fight guy who is so sold
on himself as Ahearn is over
such matchmaking, whether you
figure Kingfish Levinsky a big
national name or not. I prefer
to let that match take care Of
itself. The Canzoneri-Klick go
has preference on my calendar.
We will all, including Match
maker Aheam, learn a lot about
big names and big fight crowds
between now and then.
Still a Bit Added
Ahearn had not quite yet come
down to earth over the excite
ment of his self-styled achieve
ment in scheduling the Canzo-
neri-Klick fight to become what
you would call real rational. He
was still spluttering a little bit,
frothing some and I'll declare I
was afraid any moment he
might have an attack Of blood
pressure.
But did gather some impress
Sions through the static. I
gathered he signed the fighters
up on the basis of a $4,000 pay
off and figured he was stealing
something. I gathered that the
crowd in New York figures
CanZoneri is a cinch to beat
Lou Ambers the tenth of next
month; but just how you can
tell about such matters, I con-
feSs a profound if not an abid-
ing innocence.
A Good Seat Deal
Too, I gathered from the
plump Bill Mack, the Turner
Ahearn ticket specialist, that
there isn't poor seat to be sold
for the bout in the various price
clasSifications.
None will be sold wherefrom
a post interferes with the view
of the ring. And you should get
an eye-full of those pasteboards
when they're delivered. You'll
think you're buying a United
States Government bond. The
enclosing is to be resplendent,
and counterfeiting will be i'm.
possible.
Anyway, I'm glad to see the
fight business picking up around
Washington. This Canzoneri.
Kick scrap will make a lot of
talk. It will make for good
writing which in turn should
make fair reading. It should
make some money for all hands
and even in these days of the
Debated dollar money still
seems to be the universal Ian.
guage-eh, Mr.. Ahearn?

Irresistible Golf Lure
Now, who could resist such a
strong golf lure? Those honeyed
words, conceived by an astute
golf committee, certainly won't
fall upon deaf ears. The response,
it seems, should be one hundred
per cent from club members.
The circular also tells of an 49,
hole handicap medal play tourna-
ment in the morning for men and
a nine-hole mixed Scotch four
some in the afternoon, as well as
a tennis tournament. Besides,
there will be dinner and dancing,
with Moe Berg and his Club
Habana orchestra furnishing the
music.
Also Sunday finds the club
activities at Columbia being
ushered in with the 18-hole quail
flying round for the intraclub
team matches that promise to
keep the members from doing in
the clubhouse. Indeed, t h
matches have kindled new golf
flames and much good-natured
banter has drifted back and forth
in the clubhouse.

SLOWER PACE SET
AT STEEL PLANTS
Iron Age Shows Slight De-
cline to 44T2 Per Cent
. of Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Iron Age, In
It's weekly summary, today reported
steel production at q slightly lower
rate. As an offset to this trend, how
ever, a further advance in steel scrap
prices was noted.
Mill operations were estimated at
an average of 44la per cent Of ca
pacity, compared with Ash per cent
in the previous week. The operating
trends in leading steel manufacturing
centers were described as conflicting
and uncertain"
Regarding the rising trend of scrap
prices, the summary said that SWELL
ing export demand, rather than do
mestic market conditions, accounts
for the strength of the commodity.
Steel output in the valleys and at
Cleveland, said the review, may be
lifted before the end of the week by
the release Of orders that have been
under suspension because of labor
difhculties in the automobile industry.
ENcHEo dlOlc Gail ulSClOSc ilOW
sharp this rebound will be, since it is
believed that part of Chevrolet's pros
pective business was lost to competi-
tors during the strike period.
THE filing Of iron and steel prices
next Tuesday for third quarter de-
livery is expected to disclose few, if
any, deviations from current quota
tions. The view that price schedules
will be generally reaffirmed rather
than advanced is supported by the
extension Of present prices of rails
and track spikes to September l for
deliveries until December 81.
Railroad buying continues to lag
far behind that Of a year ago, al
though it is hoped that the Supreme
Courts decision in the pension case
will cause carriers to adopt a more
liberal attitude toward purchases"
Continuing its recent gain, the
Iron Age composite price of steel
scrap is at $10.67 a ton for the cur
rent week. compared with $l058 in
the previous week. Adjustments for
the freight surcharge have brought
the pig iron composite down to Sl7.s3
from s17.90 ton. For finished steel
the average is unchanged at 2.124
cents a pound.
