Slide Rules Derby Stock Up

Soldier was first to the payoff win
dow.
So it very we'll could be Slide Rule,
because he was quite a way off from
being bum last year, although
overshadoWed by Devils Thumb,
and the way he came on to take the
Experimental from a field that in
cluded dozen other Derby eligibles
made him appear whole lot better
than a green hand.
Just a week ago he strictly was
the second -stringer in the Boeing
barn. Devils Thumb, winner of five
straight stakes at Saratoga last
summer, was the varsity" and the
stables hope of playing the full 60
minutes in the rich 3-year -old stakes
this spring.
Sturdier Than His Dad.
But the Thumb cracked a hoot
last week, and suddenly there was
Slide Rule carrying the ball. He's a
husky, sturdy son of Snark-a LOT
sturdier than his small footed daddy
and, in addition to winning three
of nine 1912 starts (two of then
stakes, he indicated yesterday thai
he's not going to have to stop fol
a rest when the distances start to
spread out.
OF course, Devils Thumb yet may
wind up as the drum major in the
parade. The $4,000 bargain baby OF
last season even is bigger than Slide
Rule, an dafter his 60-day layof1
may come back to add lot more to
his bank roll, which '~eady is loaded
