M for 3-year-old turf honors was
a wide open affair again today
as result of the injury which

Venture on the sidelines for the re-

The winner of the Kentucky Derby

working out at Belmont Park. AL
though the bow was not a bad one,
Trainer Max Hirsch declared there was
no chance of getting the son of St.
Germans back to the races this year.
ITS just one OF the misfortunes of
racing" declared Hirsch who did fine
job in conditioning Bold Venture for
his Derby and Preakness victories.
Naturally it's hard blow to take but
there's nothing we can do about it."

West Not So Wonderful.
THE Western sector doesn't excite
you so much. Detroit's world
champions sustained a terrific blow
when Jake Powell collided with Hank
Greenberg and broke Hanks wrist.
The Tigers only hope is to stay in the
running until Hank gets back but,
with a couple of shortstops not even
batting 200, only one outfielder (Gos-
lin) hitting as high as 300, and
Schoolboy Rowe and Tommy Bridges

books don't count, the Bengals are
due for trouble.
Over in Cleveland they have
organized a stick to the finish
club, but II isn't likely to help
much because the club member
ship is open only to the fans
and they don't win many ball
games.
The Indians, to all outward appear
ances, still are the same old Indians
red hot in the Spring. tepid in the
Summer, and cold in the Fall. They
strike you as being lucky to finish
fourth. 1t may develop that If Bucky
Harris gets any pitching. the Wash
ingtons will beat EN- out.
st. Louis hasn't changed much. The
fans still stay away in droves and the
Browns still lose ball games. Rogers
Hornsby so far hasn't been able to
supply the old spark his nondescript
hirelings had last year when they
played pretty good ball during the
final month.
Over in Chicago, to wind up
the survey, Jimmy Dykes still
smokes those big black cigars
and looks to Lou Comiskey for
ball players. The White Sox
are doing well now and it must
be admitted they have pretty
good pitching and fair right
handed batting punch. But
they don't look to be in the
same class with the Nationals,
for instance.
Apparently Comiskey doesn't
know where to find ball play
ers, but he still buys good cigars.

BR|TONS RECALL
No Rhyme Nor Reason for
Establishing Favorites
in Race Tomorrow.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


~ PSOM DOWNS, England, May
l. 26.-Derby addicts, back to the
old timers, unanimously nom
IL mate tomorrows renewal of
England's famous 3-year-old classic as
the strangest and most wide-open race
in their memory.
When the field of 81 tears away
from the tape for the 1l2-mile journey,
over a track that bucks and rolls like
the sea, there'll naturally be favorite
in the Aga Khan's Tai Akbar. Yet
there's no more rhyme nor reason in
his exalted position than there are to
the prophesies handed out by the
gypSies, who are thickly tented In the
infield.
There is even less justification for
the status enjoyed by several OF his
closest rivals in the betting list. AS
the result of the absence of a really
outstanding 3-year-old, like Bahram
last year, the bookmakers, who are as
puzzled as anybody else, simply let
the clients name their own poison.
Many Ouu ScicctIOHS.
VESTERDAY'S exciting furry over
l. William Woodward's Boswell. one
of the pair entered by the New York
banker. was a typical situation where
ones guess is as good as another. Only
a month ago Tai Akbar was ignored
at SOL. He's the favorite now, partly
hecause he won one race over the
Derby distance and partly because he
will be ridden by Gordon Richards,
England's No. / jockey, who has yet
to win Derby.
Lord Astor's Pay Up, the second
choice. owes his position to the fact
that he captured the seasons trst
classic, the 1000 guineas at New Mar
ket. Yet that was only a mile race
and Pay Up has yet to prove his stam-
ina over the Derby route.
Sir Alfred Butts Noble King holds
his position as the third choice
principally because he has proved
to be a good slayer over heavy
track. There's little prospect for such
a racing strip, tomorrow, however,

beating from Pay UP in the Guineas.
All of which makes 1t the trickiest

who customarily name the "winner'

over the place. Some tentatively

Dengis' Condition Debated.

A PRIME topic among the runners
on deck is the condition of Pat
Dengis, who will defend the national
championship. Dengis broke down in
the Boston jaunt after 20 miles. His
trouble was diagnosed as a kidney
ailment. Some of the athletes doubt
that Dengis can come back so soon
but there seems to be no doubt in
the mind of Pat that he can.
On a recent visit to Washington
the champion appeared to be in top
condition and declared himself to
that effect. The winsome Mrs. Dengis
wasn't so sure.
A meeting of officials will be held
Thursday night at The Star sports de-
partment to review details. Only one
major difficulty remains for the Mara
thon Committee to wrestle with and
four thoroughly capable men will con-
centrate on it. Inspector Lamb of the
Traffic Bureau, Capt. Carroll of the
national parks police, Capt. Arnold,
Alexandria's head bluecoat, and E

will lay out a plan to handle traffic in
such way as to prevent interference
