on his old rambling Kentucky home.
The sky was cloudless and there
was just enough breeze to flutter the
hundreds of red, white and blue
pennants that bedecked the stands
and the inf1eld.
BY noon, fully half an hour before
the first race, countless thousands
were jamming the stands and over
flowing into the vast. Handicapped in
field. Nor did the early corners have
long to wait for action. Almost
everything that could happen out
OF the ordinary happened in the
first two races.
In the 6-furlong opener a mo-
mentary pail was thrown over the
crowd when three horses in a field
of II threw their riders as they
entered the homestretch. Go Home
pitched Jockey R. L. Vedder over
his head and in the crush that fol-
lowed G. Wallace was unseated from
Dancing Telee and j. Richard from
Hadaboy. The three riders were left
lying on the track as Flying Jane,
chased by Annie Alone, crossed the
finish line. Ambulances carried
them off for hospital treatment and
1t was reported that none was seri-
ously hurt. Wallace, alone, cancelled
the rest of his mounts for the day.
AS field of II lined up at the
barrier for the following race, a

Craig and held up the race for near

Despite the early delays, the Derby

tised post time, 5:45 o'clock, Eastern
Standard Time, the IL star per-
formers were led from their barns.
Only one of the entries was ridden
to the paddock and that was Whirl-
away, handsomest horse in the race
and the only one to draw cheers
from the crowd.
As the 10 colts and the gelding,
Stsretor. disappeared behind the
stands, the three bands played "The
Star Spangled Banner" and as the
horses reappeared for the parade to
the barrier they struck up again

Pre+ender to Throne Of Spain
Recalls Legendary Don Juan
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

ish boats as rowers. They were,
of course, liberated after Don
Johns victory.
The late Gilbert K. Chesterton
has a rousing ballad entitled
'Lepanto." In it occurs that
famous line:
"Don Juan Of Austria is going
to the tOdr."
But there was a far greater
man than the ancestor of King
Alfonso's son at the Battle of
Lepanto. His name was Ger
vantes. the author of the immor-
tai Don Quixote.
Although Cervantes was in
bed with fever on the boat
commanded by Don John, he
insisted on taking his position
on deck with the Austrian COM
mander. He was wounded in the
breast and neck and had his
right hand forever disabled.
OF this Chesterton writes:
"Cerudntes in his galley sets the
sword back in the sheath.
(Don John Of Austria rides
homeUdrd Nth a Uredth)
And he sees across weary land
a struggling road in Spain,
Up Which lean and Foolish
Knight forever rides IN
rain"
That lean and foolish knight"
was Don Quixote. which Ger
vantes had still to write. for
Don Quixote" did not appear
until 1908.
Don Quixote is not only
Spain-the Spaniard-but he is
man. He is the greatest picture
ever done of that sublime ideal
izing boob which is thee and me.
DUT back to our Don Juan.
- There is, then, the real Don
Juan, the hero of Lepanto and
the savior of the West from the
Turk. and there is the legendary
Don Juan who has risen to be
the type of all lovers, of all
seekers after the ideal, OF all
the lonely huntsmen of female
perfection.
And. by a psychological law
that DEGREES that mythical char
acters shall outlive all real per-
sons in the memory of man, II
is the folkborn Don Juan OF
Seville who will outlast Don
John of Austria, just as the
book of a man who fought at
Lepanto will outlast the memory
of that famous battle itself.
What destiny has in store for
the current Don Juan of Spain
/ do not know. There is moth
ing legendary about him, and It
is a million to one that he will
never command an armada at
a modern Lepanto.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-22

Il am Don Juan, curst from
age to age
By priestly tract and sentimental
stage;
Branded uilldin or believed q
fool,
Battered by hatred, scared By
ridicuie."
GO SINGS James Elroy
~ Flicker.
The death of former King AL
fonso of Spain has given the
world a pretender to the throne
of Spain with the romantic name
of Don Juan.
His full name is Don Juan
Carlos Teresa Silverique. He
apparently in nowise resembles
the legendary Don Juan of
sweethearts. duels and week
long whoopee parties, the prince
of libertines," of whom Lord
Byron wrote:
$50 prime, so slCeU, so nutty
and so knowing"
No, Don Juan of Spain, being
Hapsburg as we'll as a Bourbon.
is a descendant of a real Don
Juan-Don Juan of Austria. who
was the natural son of Charles
the Fifth of Spain. He was
born at Ratisbonne in 1545.
He was one of the great
Christian heroes of the sixteenth
century, for he not only con-
quered the Moors at Grenada,
but he commanded the European
armies and naval forces at the
greatest and most momentous
naval battle ever fought in land
for) the Western world-the
battle of Lepanto. Had Don
Juan lost that battle against
the Turks it is probable that
Europe would today be Mo
hammedan-or partly so.
The Battle of Lepanto was
fought on October z, 1871 The
Christian forces had 300 ships.
They sailed from Messina. The
Turks had an equal number of
boats.
THIS battle, in which the Turk
l. ish fleet was annihilated by
the ancestor of Don Juan of
Spain of today, was remarkable
for two facts:
1T was the last great sea
Il battle in which both sides
used oar-propelled vessels. The
crews were chained to the oars.
C-For casualties the sea battle
q of Lepanto has never been
surpassed. The Christians had
5000 killed and 5000 wounded
and the Turks $4,000 dead and
$4,000 wounded.
There were some $4,000 Chris
tan slaves chained to the Turk
