Biq Ten Ball Teams
In for Heavy Week

Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 8.-Eight Big Ten
baseball teams will tangle this week
in the heaviest conference schedule
of the season thus far.
The program, calling for single
games Friday and Saturday, will
bring Wisconsin to Purdue, Indiana
to Northwestern, Illinois to Mime
sofa and Ohio State to Michigan.
The Wolverines, generally regard
ed as the class of the league, are
tied with Minnesota and Purdue for
leadership, having won their only
two loop engagements by humping
Iowa twice last month. Minnesota
has a similar record by virtue of
its double triumph last week end
over Wisconsin, 4-3 and 1912. The
Badgers have three wins.
While unbeaten, and boasting a
victory over Illinois, Purdue's claim
to top rating is tarnished by TT
tie with the Illini.

Games Tomorrow
In School Loop

Plenty of horseplay, high jinks
and razzledazzle are in prospect at
tomorrow's games in the high school
baseball series. The schoolboy cir
cult always can be depended on for
colorful, exciting ball playing, but
the schedule tomorrow has more
than its share of thrill producing
possibilities.
It's case of two steady, strictly
business mines against a pair Of
roughhouse. talk-it-up teams with
several natural comedians in the
lineup.
Tech, hard-playing, serious ball
team that worked up to second
place in the school league, enter
tains Buck Henry and his Coolidge
Colts, a fast, unpredictable outfit
that gives the spectators an exciting
show at every game.
Henry's Support Reliable.
Henry with days on the mound
when he appears to be big league
material, has a reliable supporting
cast which includes a battery mate
with one of the best arms in the
league, Bob Comfort, and an illfield
that talks it up and plays heads
up ball at every opportunity in Tex
Jones, Chuck Kiesgen, Jim Basinger
and AL Shaw
Tech, on the other hand, will
field a team that so far always has
played serious baseball. First Base
man Red Bladen and Left Fielder
Bill Hasty will lead the Maroon at
tack, and the infield will be spanked
by the nimble Tom Tulenko at third
and Lou Petty at second.
Should Be Colorful Game.
In the other series contest to-
morrow Eastern goes to Central for
a game that should give onlookers
almost everything they want in the
way of baseball excitement. The
Rambler infield combination Of Joe
Adraini, Eddie Glover, Bob Lamon
and Sonny Settle has provided lately
some fielding brilliance which is rare
this season, while heavy hitters Joe
Artino and Jim Allen will handle
the plate fireworks. Central's team
shows enthusiasm even when out
played, and its aggressiveness should
put the Viking nine in the running
for the payoff games. Perry Fliakas,
a peppery second sacker, and Carl
Riddle, slugging third baseman,
have been headliners in the consist
emily sparky Central teams action.

Arcdro and WooIf
For Derby Win
BY CHARLES w. DUNKLEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 8.-The
stir up Of the 10th and richest Of
all Kentucky Derbies is over.
Pensive, the winner, now is being
pointed for the Preakness and later
the Belmont Stakes in a supreme
effort to annex racing's triple
crown. The lean, magnificent chest
nut colt, owned by Warren Wright
Of Chicago, safely tucked away the
first leg of the crown by decisively
defeating field of 16 at Churchill
Downs Saturday.
Proud Ben Jones, trainer of Pen
sive, today was preparing to ship the
colt to Baltimore. Jones said PEN
sive came out of the Derby in excel
lent shape and was ready to contest
the issue in the Preakness with sew
eral of the horses he so convincingly
whipped in the Derby, plus those
pre-Derby favorites which did not
run-Pukka Gin, Platter, Royal
Prince and Olympic Zenith.
Horse and Jockey Team Well.
The Preakness, at a mile and
three -sixteenths, carries a purse of
$50, 900 in added money and will be
decided next Saturday at Pimlico.
Pensive and 22-year-old Conn
McCreary, the jockey. made a mag
nificent team. Pensive ran the IL
miles in 2:041s on track that was
good, but not fast, and his time
would have been better had not
the hard-riding George Woof and
Eddie Arcaro caught him in a jam
as the trio neared the finish. As
Woolf, riding Broadcloth, which
finished second, sought to block OF
the oncoming Pensive by pulling
over to Arcaro on Stir Up. McCreary
quickly shot to the rail and fin
ished with such a tremendous
burst of speed that neither Arcaro
nor Woolf knew what was happen
ing.
McCreary, a st. Louis lad, dis
played astuteness and skill in out
riding Arcaro, rated as the Nations
No. jockey. In fact, McCreary out
smarted both Arcaro and Woolf in
their. thrilling stretch finish. Pen
sive, which was 18th at the quarter,
won by ~ lengths, with Broadcloth
finishing a length and half ahead
of Stir Up. Shut Up, one OF a group
of seven field horses, was a head
back in fourth place.
Purse, Betting Marks Set.
The combination of Arcaro and
Stir Up had the crowd, variously es-
timated at $4,000 to 10000, in such
a lather that it went to the post a
Us favorite. Pensive paid 1920 for
a 81 winning ticket and earned a
check of $64,675, new record for
Derby winnings, for Owner Wright.
The old mark was held by Mrs.
Payne Whitney's Shut Out which
earned $64,225 for the 1912 triumph.
Betting for the Derby day nine
race program also set record. The
amount totaled $2,139,982 as COM
pared with the record of $2,096, ,613
established in 1926.
Pensive's triumph brought his
1914 earnings to $50, 400 on the basis
of four victories, three seconds and
third in eight starts.
Jones, who now has saddled three
Kentucky Derby winners-Lawrin in
1888, Whirlaway in 1941 and now
Pensive-considers Pensive an ex-
cellent 3-year-old but not q great
one.
''Pensive is q good, honest, game
racer" Jones summed up, "but he
has not convinced me yet of great
ness. He's no Whirlaway but there
are no Whirlaways racing this year"
