Col. VIM Sees
Records Broken
In Derby
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, April every.
thing that has occurred in the
past to make the Kentucky Derby
the greatest event on the horse
racing calendar will be topped this
year, Col. Matt VIM, president Of
the Kentucky Jockey Club and
promoter of the Derby, predicted
here today.
The "old Kentucky colonel"
views the forthcoming classic at
Churchill Downs, to be run on
May 8, as a certainty to surpass
in entrants and in attendance any
Derby ever run.
The largest field that ever faced
the barrier before was entered in
1928, when % horses fought it out
only to lose to Reign Count. He
forsees a field of IS or more for
the 1887 renewal Of the traditional
racing fixture.
AS for the crowd, adding to the
color of the spectacle, Colonel
VIM said attendance has been
increasing each year and that he
expected 100000 to be packed into
the Downs for the coming race.
The largest crowd in the 63-year
history of the Derby saw last
years race, he said, and fell just
short of the 100000 figure.
Colonel Vim declined to pick a
probable winner of the major por.
ton of the $4,000 purse to be
offered, and, instead, named as
the leading contenders Reaping
Reward, Pompoon, Sceneshifter,
War Admiral, Galsun, the coupled
Brooklyn and Millionaire and the
triple entry of Black Look, Flying
Cross and Ptomlemy.
One of the side features Of this
years race will be the saddltng Of
No Sir by Miss Mary Hirsch, first
woman to receive trainers
license in New York and first
woman to train a Derby entrant.
Moreover, No Sir is being men
toned among the favorites.

Indigo, hailed as one OF the
greatest of modern croSS-country
leapers and speedsters, did not fare
well in the recent Carolina Cup at
Camden. However, he is said to
be in grand shape now. If he is in
condition, it would seem that he
has too much for the others in the
Middleburg classic.
Trained Well
Ostend, a comparatively small
horse, has trained well, it Is said.
Melbourne Jake took the recent
Deep Run Hunt Cup timber race
and is ready.

other is Pomiochio.

Ed Meske Kicks
To Win Decision
Over Hader

Ed Meske, with evil designs to
become one of rassling's notable
villains, is only hero after all.
Last night, in Joe Turner's
Arena of Groan and Grunt, Ed
tossed Jack Hader, in 241a min
utes, using a body slam to take
the verdict after q rough-and-
tumble affair which looked more
like a French Cor kangaroo prize
fight than a rassling bout.
Ed applied the body slam after
a kicking duel which lasted some
time.
Although Meske and Hader
topped the show, in the feature
position, Wee Willie Davis and
George Mcleod stole the ap-
plause. Davis toppled Mcleod in
1921 minutes. Davis, apparently
slightly "teched in the haid" after
a few minutes of terrific raSsling,
ripped off Referee Benny Bort
hicks shirt. Bennah has lost a
number of shirts via this route in
other-day rassling matches. Added
to other things, Bennah received a
slap in the kiSSer from Mcleod at
the conclusion Of the bout when a
free-for-all started.
The fans had a grand chance
to yell. and boo at one and the
same time when Hank Barber and
George Lehman rassled. The fans
took advantage of the opportunity
and yelled and booed with mucho
gusto. Barber won, after 81 min
uutes of yelling and booing. Up
to the very final moment, Barber
looked like a defeated man, but in
this rassling business, you never
can tell.
In the second preliminary,
Floyd Marshall (no relation to
George p, Washington'S man
about nation) tossed Ernie
Powers in 201a minutes with what
look like a body slam if it wasn't
one.
In the opener, Ted Key. a new
raSsler in these parts, and Jim
Coffield drew in a Commute
thing.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April
g. Homeward bound, although
the course is somewhat circuitouS,
the Griffs arrived in the shadow
of Lookout Mountain today to
plunge into a three-game series
with the LookoutS. Today's game
starts at 3 o'clock. Leaving here
on Sunday night after dinner. the
GriffS carry on to Atlanta where
they tackle the Crackers of the
Southern Association on Monday.
Winning over the Lookouts in
Orlando yesterday by score of
to 8, the Griffs closed their So
journ in Florida with IL victories
and seven defeats. One game,
scheduled with Columbus in De-
land was washed out.
Washington was most success
full against the st. Louis Cardinals,
beating the Gas House Gang four
straight. The boys were good and
bad against Detroit, but managed
to win three games out Of five
with the Tigers.
The most important develop
ment of the trip was the pur-
chase of Al Simmons from the
Detroit Tigers. Simmons was an
unwelcome interloper in the lock
er room of the Tigers, who re-
Sented his purchase from the
White Sox, and who never
troubled to veil their hostility
toward him. Under the condi-
tons. the puisSant Pole never
could show at his best.
SalveSOn Fails
There were no sensational de-
velopmentS in young players.
Indeed, the greatest surprise was
on the negative side. Jack Sal
veson, whom the GriffS acquired
in the trade for Whitehill was a
most amazing disappointment.
His record of 81 victories and
seven defeats in Los Angeles
must stand as an indictment of
the quality of the Pacific Coast
league. He will be shipped to
some minor league club or used
in trade to bring some worth
while youngster to Washington.
From the time the club ar
rived here until it left, the line
up was set. Johnny Mihalic
was by far the outstanding man
on the team, and not even his
heroic hitting and fielding has
won him a place on the regular
line up.
