IN THE meantime the Washingtons
were receiving a good effort from
the veteran, Earl Whitehill. who made
his second start of the season on the
rubber and managed to give a pretty
nifty account of himself until the end
of the seventh inning, when his chest
began to fill rapidly with cold and it
was deemed advisable to let Jack Rus
sell finish out the string. Jack did it
in beautiful style.
So choked by cold at the outset that
he had difficulty breathing. Whitehill
became two down to the Browns in

Third Fastest Derby Run

ON A track that was like lightning,
Bold Venture was clocked in
2:0335, fastest time for the Derby
since Twenty Grand lowered the rec
ord to 2:o145 in 1881 and the third
fastest Derby of all time.
Old Rosebud, winner in 1914 in
2:0325, was the only other to turn in
faster time than the cold that upset
whole bucketful of dope" today un-
der the balmiest conditions marking
the big race in years.
Trained astutely by Max Hirsch
and undoubtedly brought right up to
the proverbial pink" for today's race,
Bold Venture needed to make no apol-
ogies to his equine rivals. Brevity may
have been the best horse in the field,
but Bold Ventures performance, un-
der the conditions marking the race,
was something to write about.
The stout son of St. Germans-Pos-
sible had the speed to escape too much
early trouble and the stamina to beat
colt that has been compared this
Spring to Man O. War and which was
rated absolutely the class of this years
Derby field.
Derby "Jinx" Follows Widener.
THERE was nothing to indicate that
any others in the race. With the
possible exception of Granville, could
give the one-two finishers any argu-
ment.
Coldstream, despite early speed.
failed to capitalize early advantages
and had no alibis. Bien Joli. which
was the long standard bearer of E. r.
Bradley, after Banister was scratched.
finished fifth after being jostled
around on the far turn.
1t was at this point that Hanford,
with Bold Venture, was accused of
rough tactics for the second time.
Bold Venture cut sharply in front of
both Brevity and Indian Broom. There
was no humping, but the maneuver
appeared to have been costly to the
favorite.
All told, it looked as though the
Derby LINK" was still working over
time to checkmate Widener, Eastern
sportsman whose colors have triumphed
In nearly every other classic except
this one.
The setback for Brevity today fol-
lowed the il-luck that pursued Widen
er with such fine horses as Osmand,
PeaSe Chance and Chance Sun.
Granville Loses Jockey.
GRANvILLE'S Jockey, Jimmy Stout
was thrown during a jam op.
posite the stands, within the first
quarter mile. The Woodward colt
which was third choice, coupled with
Teufel and Merry Pete, was we'll for
ward in the early running. After the
mishap the riderless colt continued on
and trailed the Derby field over the
entire route.
Brevity, the shortest priced favorite
since Twenty Grand, returned only SIS
for each mutuel ticket to place and 81
to show. Indian Broom, q 5-to-l shot
and the well-backed second choice at
post time, paid $3.50 to show. Their
consolation share of the purse was
$4,000 and $4,000. respectively. while
the fourth place $1,000 went to Cold
streams owner.
With better racing luck, Indian
Broom might have made it three
cornered battle, but the Canadian
owned colt, the property of Maj. Austin
c. Taylor of Vancouver, never had
much chance to display the speed that
carried him to a world record for one
mile and an eighth this Spring in
California.
