KENTUCKY DERBY FIELD SMALLER AS RACE WEARS
BimeIech in Trial Run To- day at One MiIe-Bash-
 full Duck Out
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing EditOr)

Louisville, Ky, April 30. (UP)- The field for the 66th Kentucky Derby shrunk faster than bargain basement shirt today as all but 8 handful of the remaining hopefuls trial for final preview of the $75,- 900 classic to be run on Saturday.
 Eleven of them went itno the mile spin that is worth $2,500, but only one of them really mattered. That was Col. E. R. Bradley's Bimelech, top-weighted at 118 pounds and heavily favored at even money to handcuff his opposition on a track that was fast. Here is what Big Bim faced in his last competitive prep:
 Mrs. J. L. CheSney's Endy, 11O; Wolford Farms Inscoylad, 11O; Milky Way Farms Gallahadion, 115: Tower Stables Royal Man, 110; Lexbrook Stables Designer, 110, and Potranco, 112; Shady Brok aFrm'S Connaught, 110; A. L. Ferguson's Black Brummel, no; Joe Schmitt's True Star, no; and Dixiana Farms Sirocco, 112.
 Of the lot, only Bimelech, Sirocco, Royal Man and Gallahadion are certain to answer the bugle in the Derby. c. s. Towards Midland, J. E. Widener's Roman, w. L. Brann'S Pictor, and Arnold aHnger's Dit are alsro sure to go on Saturday, but they all remained ill their barns to- day rather than risk premature dis grace.
 The others, and couple of things called Sky Dog and Gallant Dream shipped here from California by the w. L. Ranch apparently only for change of scenery, were regarded skeptically.
 Only an excellent-and an unex- pected-showing in the trial could send them in to the run for the floral horseshoe.
 So on all sides it began to look like an even smaller field than the eight who went last year, and maybe the smallest in modern history. The largest estimate offered by anyone in Louisville was 8 field of 10, and most hands expected no more than eight-Bimelech, Midland, Roman, Dit, Pictor, Gallahadion, Sirocco
 and Royal Man. Either Gallant Dream or Sky Dog probably will be sent along for comedy relief.
 All the rest of the 127 eligibleS have dropped off along the way. Bradley announced yesterday bash- full Duck was not ready. His state ment was interpreted to mean the Duck had spent himself trying to match Bimelech in workouts. The crack eastern contenders-Flight Command, Carrier Pigeon, Andy K, Fenelon, Merry Knight, Marogay, Victory Morn-weren't even consid- cred good enough bets to repay their freight charges. So they stayed in New York.

Louisville, Ky, April 30-(UP)- "They say as how the Cunnel ain't gonna be here, but that's crazy man talk"
 Just a rtable swipe's opinion of the report that Colonel Ed Bradley won't be at Churchill Downs to see his Bimelech run, but there are many others who share it.
 Sure, the doctors have said that the master of Idle Hour farm mustn't risk the excitement of see- ing his colors Haunted in another Derby. Sure, they have said that the finish of the race, particularly if his beloved Bimelech were there on top, would mean his finish too.
 But around here they won't be- lieve it until a search of the stands at post time fails to reveal a steely- eyed old gentleman cuddling stop

 My score was in the low sos. Two years later, when I was IA, shot "A over the same course. There's nothing like an early start in any game.

HIS 60 IS 10 BELOW PAR AT AUSTIN CLUB

In non-competition, playing in an exhibition match with Harvey Pen nick, Buck Luce and Walter Ben son over the course of the Austin, Tex, Country Club, I rounded the first nine in 28 and finished the back nine in 32 for 8 total of 60.
 The round included 10 birdies and eight pars bettered par by 10 strokes.
 I hit the pin three straight times.
 I had to hole only one putt of more than six feet.
 It by far my most spectacular round.
 But I obtained my biggest thrill in winning this years Western Open in Houston, my home city where I perhaps became the first golfer ever to be given a banquet before a tournament.
 I would say my next biggest thrill came when I played with the one and only Bobby Jones in a practice round before this years Masters. And next - winning the Masters, which I consider golf's No. 1 tournament.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-30
BY JIMMY DEMARET Winner of the Masters

My greatest round was the first in the Masters Tournament this year.
 I shot the back nine in 30 record for that Augusta National nine in the competition. , It was one of those rounds of which you dream.
 Coming in, every shot turned out exactly as planned and play ed it. The 30, coupled with 37 for the front nine, gave me 67, and second for the day to Lloyd Man grum, who hung up a course rec ord with blazing GA.
 In firing the 30, had six birdies and three pars.
 I'll always study the breakdown of this score when my game goes haywire.
 I took 12 butts for nine holes.
 That means was six under par for puts, and as my score for the round was six below par the nine holes offered striking example of the importance of putting.
 My golf from tee to green was not spectacular.
 It was probably just good par golf.
 A fellow has to get the breaks.
 I ran down some long puts that helped.
