ALL SET FOR
DERBY RACE
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOUISVILLE. KY May 3. up
1t was put up or shut up at Church
i'll Downs today.
The hour for the final declara-
ton of Kentucky derby starters
had arrived and owners and train
ers had to enter their horses, along
with a goodwill check for S400,
or forever hold their peace.
Indications were that several of
the owners and trainers of the q
eligibles were going even further
and hold both the $500 and their
peace. The absolute Withdrawals
undoubtedly will come from the
proprietors Of those horses who
were worth a SIS risk (the charge
for nominations) months ago, but
whose workouts since arrival at
the Downs have shown they could
not win without the aid of me-
chanical devices.
The refusals were not expected
to be numerous, however, because
this years derby is such an open
race that most Of the owners were
willing TO gamble $400 against some
$4,000. Also the weather was SO
unsettled that the track may be in
such a condition as to give even
the rankest outsider a chance.
Sixteen thoroughbreds were al
most certain to be named. They
are Today, Omaha, Plat Eye, Nellie
Flag. Commonwealth, BoXthorn,
Roman Soldier, Psychic Bid, Whis-
kolo, Sun Fairplay, st. Bernard,
Tutticurio, Blackbirder, Morpluck,
Whopper and Chanceview. The
fate of Mccarthy, Shoeless Joe, Di-
rect Hit, Price Splendor, Bluebeard
and Weston is extremely doubtful.
With the bugle's call to arms but
hours away, G. V. Whitney's Today
still ruled the favorite at odds OF
3 to / and his hackers refused to
let the prospect of a muddy track
scare them off. Those who liked
the handsome colt we're unanimous
in their opinion that he has so
much class it wouldn't make any
difference whether the footing on
Saturday is lemon meringue, four
Jane concrete or ankledeep slime.
In short, they think Today is a
champion and has the champions
ability to make his race anywhere,
any time.

FRALEY-LOPEZ
To BAT TIE At
LOCAL ARENA

At $3.50 o'clock tonight at the
City Limits arena, Vincent Lopez
will again trade headlocks, toe
holds and half-nelsons with Pat
Fraley Of Ireland and points west.
Last weekin the same arena, these
two behenoths Of the mat pleas
antly surprised Imperial Valley
fans by putting on one of the best
wrestling matches it had ever been
their pleasure to witness. They so
outclassed and outshOne the much
publici2ed Man Mountain" Dean,
who appeared in the main bout,
that Promoter John Contos imme-
diately rematched them for the
main event tonight, two out Of three
falls to q finish, with a two hour
time limit. Not only are these two
evenly matched but the pronounced
rivalry between them points to a
sizzling, torrid encounter.
Great interest is being exhibited
by the fans in the semi-final bout,
bringing together the valleys ia
vorite, Vic Christy. and Sander
Szabo, the Hungarian champion.
Apollo and movie star. Christy,
since his last appearance here, has
developed into one of the most
promising of the younger crop OF
wrestlers. Pitted against the older
and more experienced Hungarian,
who has proven the sensation OF
the Los Angeles elimination tourna-
nent Christy meets a foe who Is
far from a set-up. It IS OF men
such as these that future cham
pions are made and it would not
surprise this writer to see one Of
these men, some day, crowned
worlds heavyweight wre sting
champion. Both of them are of
high caliber, have class, popular
appeal and are expert showmen.
In the curtain-raiser, Jagat
Singh, Hindu luminary, will en-
deavor to dispose Of George Poulos,
who halls from the birthplace Of
wrestling, the land Of Helen Of
Troy. If successful he will have
climbed another rung in the lad
der of mat success which leads to
honors and bigger purses. One OF
the most colorful of foreign Wres-
tiers to invade these shores in many
a moon, Singh has met with great
popularity and as great success. He
hopes some day to carry back to
his native land the crown of the
worlds championship and, admit
tedly, in his sojourn in the United
States he has proven himself a
worthy contender for the honors
now held by Jim Londos.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 3. UP
No one ever heard them speak
word about it, but that charming
equine couple, American Flag and
Nellie Morse, must have been sore
~ disappointed when the veterin-
arian left and they first laid eyes
on their bouncing daughter, Nellie
Flag.
For she was as ungainly
filly as ever kicked up her heels in
a pasture. They do say that when
her grandpappy, oil Man O. War,
got his first look at Nellie the near
est thing to congratlllation he
could summon was a snortirg:
well, she may be a great help
to her nav when she grows I'D, but
she don't look like much now does
she?"
Nellie Flag got worse with the
passing of the days. She would
have nothing to do with the neigh
hors' fillies, saying they were sis
sizes and spent all her time tearing
about the pasture with the colts.
She was a tomboy from way back
and her parents dreaded the day
when she'd have to make her debut.
Then Nellie, and the other girls,
reached the age of two, and it was
time for them to make their debut.
From the time they stepped on the
race track that was their coming

| Nellie-was the talk of the party.
A year has passed since that debut
and the other girls have been for

criticism of her youth.

They flashed through broad, quiet streets;
past impressive residences sheltered behind
velvety lawns and bathed in moon silver.
They roared into more sparsely settled dis
trict and toward the four huge vacant lots
which marked the corner of Grace and Walnut.
The corner arc gave light to the scene
Sprawled on the sidewalk was the figure of
a man. Blood oozed through his shirt and
spread in an ugly pool on the sidewalk.
"Holdup VICTIM" grunted Regan as he
jerked the car to the curb Then he spoke to
Mara without looking at him. "Out, your
Mara expressed some surprise "Ain't you
going after the guy that done this"

swapping icicles. But you ANTI"
What do you mean: l ain'tl"
II mean exactly that, Mara. You can take

Mara felt himself growing cold with anger

had gone out of his way to make things un-
comfortable for John; since Mara was
universally liked, this did nothing to enhance
Regans popularity.
Another thing: Regan was always seeking
personal glory. Never gave partner an even
break. Made himself look better than he was,
even though it was conceded that he was
pretty good. You could hand Regan that:
He was afraid of nothing. But when you said
that, you said everything.
The radio receiver did not change tone, but
Mara saw Regan stiffen. He listened.
Calling car six-seven. Calling car six

of Grace and Walnut. A man has just been

Looks like holdup. Looks like holdup.

The car leaped through the night. Regan's
face was hard as granite. There was hint
of triumph in his manner. for he had been
acutely conscious of John Maras contempt.

Mara had too much pride to argue against
the inevitable. Being a good copper, he
obeyed orders. He got out of the car and
crossed to the figure spread grotesquely on
the sidewalk. He didn't dare speak; he was
too infMiated.
Regan slapped the car into gear and gave
her the gas. His headlights split the night
as he turned the car toward the open road
down which holdup man would most
logically have attempted to escape.
His thin lips were creased into the sug-
gestion of grin. This was grand way to
settle once and for all his feud with Mara.
It'd make John look bad, and Tim knew that
if he were lucky. his own record would be
embellished. He might get his sergeantcy.
Single handed stuff. That was what counted
on mans record,
He drove like mad, but with consummate
skill. He toured family marked bypaths,
and occasionally left his car, gun in hand,
to follow faint trails left by automobile tires.
No luck, though. The holdup man either had
escaped or had returned to the city. Regan
sighed. At least he had done his best to dis
comft his arch enemy. Quite some satisfaction
in that. :.
Regan drove to sandwich stand a few
miles down the road. He dropped nickel in
the telephone slot and called headquarters.
"Regan speaking. Radio car six-seven. No
trace of that guy who did the holdup job at
the corner of Walnut and Grace"
There was brief silence at the other end.
Then stern, official voice:
''Whaddaya tryin' to do, Regan: Kid me?"
Tim frowned

over for the holdup man. He got away clean"
And then, from the other end:

you've got him1" Regan's voice dropped
to whisper. "Who picked him up?"
John Mara grabbed him" said the other.
Mara brought him in alone while you was
joy-riding."
A CHASTITY premonition assailed Tim Regan.
Where" he inquired. Where did Mara
find him7"
Lying on the sidewalk at the corner of
Grace and Walnut" said the sergeant. He
had been shot by the man he tried to stick
up. You better come on in, Regan. John Mara
will be glad to tell you all about it."

cinct captain, 'Purnell is

l. Il with Regan on radio detail"
The coppers i all of them, uniform and
plainclothes - gasped. It was agreed that
someone ought to inform the new captain that
he had blundered; that the combination of
John Mara and Tim Regan was an impossible
thing, that their feud was precinct classic,
that serious trouble might result. But Captain
Hardy only recently had been denoted:
transferred from headquarters to the quiet
Woodvale precinct as disciplinary measure,
and he had brought with him the reputation
of being a martinez He was hard-headed,
gruntled. He alone, of all the men in the
precinct, knew nothing of the enmity between
the two old timers.
For more than ten years now, John Mara
and Tim Regan had hated one another. No
one knew exactly where or why or how the
thing had started. They were the precinct
deans - Mara squat and broad and grizzled;
Regan tall and straight, with jaw of iron and
eyes of ice. Each man had passed the half
century mark in years; Mara was family
man with wife and grown son; Regan
caustic and solitary misogynist. Good coppers,
both; but also good hateTs.
Regan took the wheel of radio car 67.
John Mara sat stiffly beside him. They rolled
into the moon -drenched night, staring straight
ahead. each acutely mindful of the tension
'I'm in command" announced Regan
harshly and abruptly.
John Mara grmted. II gotta ride with
you, Regan. but don't have to talk to you."
"Okay," answered the taller man. Then
keep your mouth shut"
Mara squirmed. He looked ahead at vener-
able trees whose branches interlaced across
the broad, quiet thoroughfares. The loud
speaker on the dashboard kept up an incessant
chatter. Radio calls from headquarters -
for other cars. Nothing ever happened in
Woodvale. Fine homes here; wealthy folks;
somnOlence i. and an atmosphere of impec-
cable tranquility.
After ten minutes John Mara relaxed: This
was new experience for him, this riding
about in radio car. He'd always regarded
the work with contempt, except maybe for the
guys who covered the Dirty Fifth = but it

Queer about Tim Regan. He had courage
and ability. Good record. But the force
hated him. He didn't have friend. "Suew

mander had said. and it was generally agreed
that he was right.
The feud between Regan and Mara had
started when Regan = for no particular rea-
son - made it plain that he despised the
shorter, broader man. Ever since then Tim
