 The week-long threat of showers failed to materialize and the Blue grass country formed perfect back drop for the classic that has been run each year since 1875 on the same loam strip beneath the green and white stands of Churchill Downs. Flowers were abloom on every side and the infield of the big plant was frightened by thousands of blooms.
 The crowd was larger, the purse richer and the grandstands consid- erably longer, but all the vital ele- ments that made up the first Ken- lucky Derby 65 years ago were the same.
 Morning After
 Visitors and natives alike, still groggy from round of Derby eve parties and celebrations, started the four mile parade from Louisville to Churchill Downs before dawn. The gates opened at 8;30 a. m.

DODGERS SHOW FLASH OF CLASS
 IN CUBS SERIES
National League Champs FlOundering; Rich Gives
 Red SOx Lead
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 6.-(UP)-Never make cracks about Brooklyn-that should be a standing rule of every National league manager. Bill Ter rvs sly remark, "Is Brooklyn still in the league?" back in 1884 and the dire kickback should have been a lesson to one and all.
 But Gabby Hartnett, stood before microphone a few days before the season opened and tossed the Dodg- CTS right in the ash can. T pick Brooklyn for the cellar" he said Leo Durocher was listening. And what Durocher's ball club has been doing to Hartnett's ball club the past two days has Gabby almost loco.
 The Cubs have lost two straight to the Dodgers, haven't won game on their first eastern trip and have dropped six out of their last seven. Hartnett is frantically juggling his lineup, but can't find the combina- tion. Tho whole ball club has gone to pieces-no hitting (23 hits in their last four games, or less than six per game), ineffective pitching in the clutches, and shaky defense.
 Whit Wyatt held the Cubs to seven hits yesterday as the Dodgers won 6-3, and moved along with the Reds and Cardinals to within half a game of the National league lead. Gene Lillard lost his first game. Tony Lazzeri, cast of by the Cubs, hit 400-foot homer, his third of the season.
 Cincinnati knocked off the league leading Bees, 5-4, in B innings on McCormick's single, an inf1eld out and Crafts hit. Whitey Moore, in a relief role, was the winner.
 The Cardinals stopped the Giants streak at three straight with 7-5 triumph behind Curt Davis steady pitching, marred only by Bob Seeds two homers. Pepper Martin, who had been eating his heart out on the Cards bench, slugged out triple, double and single.
 Pittsburg won its fourth straight, stopping a 5-run rally in the ninth to lick the Phillies, 10-7. Rookie Fern Bell made three hits to lead the Pirates 13-hit attack.
 Woody Rich, the Little Rock rookie with the sidearm motion of old Grover Cleveland Alexander, pitched the Boston Red Sox into the American league lead with a Al victory over Detroit. Rich allowed only three hits in winning his sec ond straight. Jimmy F'oxx and Joe Cronin hit homers. Schoolboy Rowe, allowing nine hits, was the loser.
 The Tanks sweep through the west was stopped by southpaw Al Milnar, who hurled Cleveland to a 2-1 victory in II innings. Hal Tro- sky's double drove in the winning run as Lefty Gomez lost 6-hitter.
 Thornton Lee bested Joe Krakaus- kas in southpaw duel as the White Sox won from Washington, 2-1. It was Chicago's ninth victory in II starts. Larry Rosenthals homer was the winning punch.
 Sam Chapman returned to the Athletics lineup and hit homer, triple, double and single as Phila- delphia triumphed over the Browns, 10-5. Dario Lodigiani, As third baseman, was "beaned" by pitch ed ball thrown by Harry Kimberlin and had to leave the game.

Anthracite Miners
Ask Pay Increase,
Six-Hour Day
Union Session Approves
Program for Contract
Negotiations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 24-Pennsyl-
vania's anthracite miners unani-
mously agreed yesterday to seek q
wage increase, a 6-hour day, guaran-
tee Of 200 work days annually and
vacations with pay when a new con-
tract is written to 'supplant the
present agreement expiring April 80
Their program, covering % sepa-
rate proposals, was adopted by $50
delegates. representing approximate
1y 10000 miners. at the tri-district
convention of the United Mine
Workers of America, and was de-
scribe by President John L. Lewis
of the c. I. o. and U. M. w. A. as
wholesome and constructive"
No Fear Of Shutdown.
As the miners closed their 3-day
convention, Mr.. Lewis asserted that
there was no need for apprehension
over the possibility of a shutdown
in the industry, that he felt the
miners and operators could effect an
agreement without a single day s
loss of time.
Negotiations would start as soon as
a date is set, probably the first week
In April. Mr.. Lewis said. Opera
tors meet here tomorrow to decide
their policies.
The miners, in adopting the re-
port of the Scale Committee, with
two slight changes, asked "estab-
Ishment of the 6-hour day, 5-day
week, with the same wages for six
hours as now are paid for seven
hours, plus further nominal in
crease. Contract rates shall be in
creased in like amount; monthly
men under the agreement to receive
the same basic increases"
The present contract, effected
three years ago, provided seven
hour day, five-day week. Officials
said that inasmuch as the wage
scale involved some so different
classiflcations, it was impossible to
be specific about wage increases, but
pointed out that the same pay for a
shorter day alone would mean a
1923 per cent increase.
Contract to Expire Friday.
Meanwhile. six day week for the
mine company presidents and union
officials comprising the negotiating
committee of the bituminous indus
try was assured last night.
Spokesmen said the 80 negotiators
who have been attempting for a week
to write a new wage and hour con-
tract for $4,000 miners in the Ap-
palachlan area would work through
Saturday.
The present contract expires at
midnight next Friday, and in the
event no agreement has been
reached by that time. unanimous an
proval of an extension would be nee
essary to avert a shutdown. The
traditional attitude of the United
Mine Workers is mo contract; no
work"

Automobile May 10 to
Europe With No Trouble

The family automobile may now
60 to Europe as simply as a trunk
and with as little red tape. BY
spending half an hour making out
the necessary documents passengers
can make all arrangements for tour
ing Europe in advance of actual
departure. These documents pro-
vide for customs papers, interna-
tional plates and public liability in
surance as well as for international
driving licenses, marine insurance
and small supply of gasoline with
which to begin the tour.
Highways in major countries are
excellent and distances in compari-
son with distances in the United
States are short. Because there
are fewer automobiles in Europe
the roads are less crowded Mem
bership is possible in a British
Automobile club and this means as
sistance on the road in case of a
breakdown. Fire, theft, and other
forms of insurance may also be ar
ranged for and where there are two
drivers IN a party, second license
may be obtained for very nominal
fee.

Piston Action

The bureau of standards says
that the piston in an engine travels
farther, and therefore faster. while
the crank pin is moving over the
upper half than over the lower
half of the crank circle. This is
because the crank pin in moving
around the crank circle has hori-
zontal (sidewise) component as well
as vertical Cup and DOWN compo-
nent to its motion. When the crank
pin is moving on the upper half OF
the crank circle, both of these com
ponents act to move the piston ir
the same direction. causing a rela-
lively large and rapid motion
When the crank pin is moving on
the lower half of the crank circle
the components act to move the pis-
ton in opposite directions, produc
ing a relatively small and slow mo
ton.
