Chowder Club Is Upset
By Derby TrioIs
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, April 23.-The week.
ly meeting of the Bimelech With
Reservations Marching and Chowder
Club now will come to order. AS
secretary in charge of rival Ken
lucky Derby hosses, I will proceed
to deliver the weeks report:
Brothers, there is a new threat to
our peace of mind, by the name of
Roman. This big bay colt from the
barn of Joe Widener won in lope
at Keeneland last week end, churn-
ing over furlongs of muddy track
in 1:13B to break into the big
seven of the Derby field. He tri-
umphed as he pleased, and the fu-
ture bookmakers hastily hammered
his price down from 30 to l to to l..
That is one more thing to worry
about. Another is the work of Sun
Pharos, who was strictly you-take-
him-I want in the early
betting. but changed all that by
winning in the slop of Jamaica at a
mile and 10 yards last week. Another
worry is the Wheatley Stables Asp,
just beginning to look good, and still
another is Black Brummel, a Keene-
land winner who is big, fast and very
dangerous.
Pictor Pokes His Heed
Into Derby Picture
To top em all, there is Pictor, the
horse we advised you to watch three
weeks ago. Pictor is the heir of
Challedon, coming as he does from
the dormitory of w. L. Brann, and
last Saturday he proved that he
shares Challedon's love for the
deepest gumbo by making buns out
of Andy K and Fenelon in something
like a fathom of pure Maryland
water mixed with the best grade of
Maryland goo.
The threats are piling up, fellows.
I will interrupt the meeting mo-
ment while our vice president in
charge of worrying sends out for
pail of aspirin. I think they'll trust
us for one more pail
On the other hand, the cloud has
silver lining. for Bimelech, our
honorary president, is working well
and Col. Bradley seems to like him.
Bimelech and his partner, Bashful
Duck, probably will race at Keene-
land Thursday, in the Blue Grass
Stakes. And that should be the
tipoff. We will hold our breath until
then. AS soon as I have finished
this report, the vice president in
charge of respiration will take over
the baton and lead you in breath
holding exercises.

With local talent scarce, Furr
looms large in the plans of Pro-

in tonight's l0-round engagement.
Turner requires an attraction and
Phil needs cash so the summer sea-
son will appear rosy for both If
Furr scores over Mcdowell.
Phil has been installed an 8-5

Texan, who owns successive tri-
umphs here over Vic Finanzzo,
Jackie Stewart and Jackie Dorval,

likely will swing a decision his way.
Furr Is Wide Awake.
Furr, who has been around long
enough to distinguish a left hook
from right cross, doesn't figure to
be caught snoozing by one of Nc
Dowell's wild Sunday socks, but the
hard-hitting Wild William should
make things extremely interesting
for Phil throughout.
