Record Crowd Sees Favored Jonsow Win Kentucky Derby

catching JohnStOWn. Jimmy Stout,
wizened little fellow wearing the
white, red dotted and red capped
silks of the Belair Stud, was riding
high up on the big bay and Jimmy
never had an easier ride in his life.
Johnstown had the speed and he
wanted to run. 1t was nothing like
last year for Stout. when he rode
the favored Fighting Fox, out of
the same Woodward Stables, and
finished disappointing sixth. 1t
was nothing like 1886, when Jimmy
had the mount on the favored
Granville and was unmounted at
the barrier.
Pays Only $500 to Win.
Only a pittance did JohnstoUn's
bettors collect, unless they had the
colt at winter book odds. His
mutuel price was $500 to win, 50 to
place and $3.50 to show. For fin
ishing second, Challedon paid $3.50
and 1920 to show. Heatherbroom,
which was 12-to-1 to win, paid So
to show.
JohnStOWn opened at even money
and dropped to 4-to-5 when the
odds were shifted. Then he went
to 3-5 and, finally. to IL. Challe-
don was 3-to-1 when the betting
board first flashed but when the
horses reached the post the Mary
land entry was 6-to-1, probably
because of the first-class condition
Of the track. Challedon's price
would have been lower If the track
had been heavy. Technician also
was 6-to-1 on the board, followed
by Fl Chico at 8-to-1, Heatherbroom
at 12-to-1, Viscounty at 40-to-1,
T. M. Dorset at 50-to-l and On Lo-
cation at 80-to-1.
Originally the gross value of the
race was to have been $57,875, with
the winners net share at $46,350,
but this was changed wnen Chal-

lenge probably would have started,
but the afternoon showers which
were predicted yesterday failed to
mateIaliZe and FitZsimmons lost
little time in pulling out the horse
which, as a 2-year-old, failed to
earn his brackets and which this
year won only one overnight handi-
cap. There was a report that Owner
William Woodward was intent on
running Challenge because he
thought the son of Challenger II
and Marigal could pick up fourth
money. FitzsimmOns, however. was
not in favor of running Challenge
and got his way.
The withdraw of Mrs. Bessie
Franzheim's Xalapa Clown, which
was unbeaten in three starts as q
year-old and which held victory
over Ciencia, winner of the Santa
Anita Derby, came as general sur
prise, although it was known the
son Of Eternal-Loma Linda had a
bad knee. But in recent workouts,
the Clown gave no evidence of
trouble with his knee.
A report had spread earlier In the
afternoon that Xalapa Clown would
be the movie horse" Of the Derby,
running for the old homestead, etc.
Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Franzheim reportedly has been
considering sale Of her horse, which
has won $18.750 in prize money.
Whether it was Xalapa Clown s

merely q general indisposition to
run the horse was not definitely
established.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 6.-Catcher
Rick Ferrell, whose forefinger on
his right hand was damaged by a
foul ball here yesterday, plans to
have an X-ray made of the finger
tomorrow at Cleveland unless the
swelling decreases perceptibly by
that time.
Ferrell, who first injured the
finger two days before the 1899
campaign was to have been launched
by the Mats, fears possible cracked
or broken bone in the first joint.
He has soaked the finger almost
continually, but it has failed to
respond to treatment.
Coach Clyde Milan, suffering from
back ailment. plans to return to
Washington from Cleveland for
treatment unless he improves over
night. Milan was unable to appear
at today's game and Manager Bucky
Harris coached third base, with
Ossie Bluege and Nick Altrock alter
mating in the first-base box.
Charley Colbert, highly regarded
utility infielder, still confined to bed
with the grippe, will remain here
overnight, but is expected to join
the club in Cleveland tomorrow or
Monday.
Gelbert's fever his diminished,
but his physician thought it ad-
visable to have him remain here
another day or so.

streak tomorrow at Cleveland when

ers and decreasing the gross value
to $56,875 and the winners share
to $45,85O.
Crowd Roars Approval.
The crowd almost assuredly set a
new attendance record and smashed
the previous mark of an estimated
75000. It was crowd which gave
the victorious Johnstown a thun-
derous roar when he was led nack
to the winners circle to receive the
traditional floral horseshoe-a crowd
that felt as if it had just seen a
great colt establish his greatness
and set out on the trail of such
fine horses as Omaha and Gallant
Fox, which came from the same
stable and won Derbies within the
last nine years.
The time of 2:0325 was better by
more than a second than Lawrin's
winning mark of 2:04% last year.
In fact, it was the third best time
in the last rs years, only Twenty
Grand's record mark In 1881 and

and stands as one of the four best
in the history of the Derby since it
has been run as a mile and one
quarter event.
Johnstown's daddy, jamestown.
was a fine horse in his day. He
was no Derby winner but he spe-
cialized in shorter distances. Never
a very sound horse, Jamestown was,
nevertheless, very good one. La
France, mother Of the new Derby
champion, fell in her paddock as q
2-year-old, dislocated her hip and
was no good for racing. Because
he refused to have crippled horses
in his stable, Woodward sold La
France as she was bearing Johns
town. But in making the deal he
stipulated that his Belair stud would
receive the foal. It was . fortunate
stipulation.
