Churchill Downs next Saturda,
In his recent victory at Texas,
Roman Soldier carried 100 pounds,
Just six less than in the Ken
lucky classic. Here merely gal
Hoped in that effort after laying
back of the early pace to take
command in the stretch and win
going away.
Roman Soldier has earned the
distinction of being the best
three-year-old colt in winter rae
ing, despite the fact that Black
Helen whipped the colt in the
Florida Derby at Hialeah Park.
Ran Good Race
In that race, Roman Soldier,
according to veteran horsemen,
ran as equally good a race as did
Black Helen. Shuffled back going
to the first run, Roman Soldier
was again interferred with in the
back stretch and his rider had to
snatch him up in an effort to
avoid falling.
When he finally regained his
strides in the stretch he closed a
world of ground and was catching
the leaders with ever stride.
w. j. Hirsch developed Roman
Soldier for his father and. after
the colt had won at the first
asking at Tropical Park near the
end of the year, he was sold
to the late William Sachsenmaier
and Phil Reuter-, his new trainer,
for $500. Upon the death of
the Atlantic City sportsman, his
son Elwood1, took over the half
interest in the colt.
StOutly Bred
Even though his sire, Cohort,
is young and was not a promi-
nent racer in England, Roman
Soldier is stout1y bred. Cohort
is a son Of Grand Parade and
mare by The Tetrarch, while
Miamba, dam Of Roman Soldier,
is a daughter Of Light Brigade,
the next dam being by Star
Shoot and the next by Hindoo.
This is all distance running
blood. Roman Soldier has speed,
courage and much class, but
whether it is sufficient for him
to be a topnotcher during the
summer season remains to be
seen.
Roman Soldier is now being
quoted to in the winter books
and will be ridden by Jockey L.
BalaSki.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Wen in
advance Gas always of the run
ming of the Kentucky Derby at
Churchill Downs on Saturday, we
were assured that it was to be
Gas usuaD one of the most unusual
on record and, after what hap
pened last weekend, a man would
be a chump if he didn't agree.
We even know four days in adj
vance who isn't going to win.
This happens to be a horse
known as Chance Sun which fin
ished third in the Cherokee Park
Purse at the Downs on Saturday.
It also is the horse that was
either played down or pared down
to 4 to / in the winter books.
The Washington times., 1935-04-30

He frac ured frank Buck "O'NeiD
his skull and broke his shoulder.
1t looked like the end of great
ball player, for when man has
been in the majors for 10 years
and meets an accident o. that sort
he rarely comes back.
It was DR.. Bob Hyland who
graSped Combs in his capable
hands and showed back the grim
spectre Of death from LArl's bed
side.
After Con- IS ha6 ecovered the
power of locomUUion DR.. Hyland
told him:
eff you do not have any dizzy
spells, you will be all right. But
If you have any signs Of vertigo,
/ don't know"
So when your agent walked into
the Yankee Colonies room in the
hospital Mr.. Combs grey thatch
was on the floor and he was sup
porting himself by leaning on the
bed.
what in thunder are you
doing there?" we asked, very
much taken aback at this most
unusual posture of the grey
hound of the OutfieIds.
VERY COMPLEX
Sim trying to make my self
dizzy" replied Mr.. Combs with
a merry chuckle. you see,
everything depends on my
either getting dizzy or not get
ting dizzy. 1t is all very COM
pick, but the doctors say I'll
be able to play ball if l suffer
no pains in the head"
It is quite apparent that the
Kentucky squire is fully recoV.
cred from the effects of his ex-
perience in the mound city. He
put on a regular Combs day at
Yankee Stadium yesterday pound
ing out three hits and driving in
a run, the first run scored by the
Yankees against our noble ath.
letes. That blow came in the
fourth inning after Dickey had
doubled to right field. Burke
made just one mistake in pitch
ing to Combs. He pitched low,
and if there's one ball in all the
diversified repertoire of pitching
that Combs can sock, it's a low
ball.
The gentleman Of Kentucky
broke into the game on Saturday
when Chapman pulled charley
horse. He's been at bat seven
times, drove in five runs and has
made six hits. One of these was
home run with the bases loaded.
That's the kind of bali player
this boy grown grey is in the
pinches. He has snapped out OF
a slump that held him through
Is times at bat in which time he
had made one hit.
Speed Boy
Hill IN left field is a speed boy,
and may stay there, although with
Combs hitting as he has hit for
the past couple of days, no one in
shoes will GUST him from his post.
The gallant Gomez is all pitcher,
perhaps the greatest in baseball.
and when he is at his peak he's
just about unbeatable. But there
you have the power of the
Yankees. Gomez stopped our bats
yesterday, but he would have
stopped any bats. ~
Just two Griffs reached second
against the gallant Castilian. One
man reached third. He was Powell
and he was tagged out along the
lines, thanks to very unwise base
running. If he had held third on
Burke's out, he might have scored
on Myers fly to left which fol-
lowed. However, one run would
have been insufficient. You see,
the Yankees scored twice.
