DERBY MUST BE
 REGARDED AS WIDE OPEN RAGE
LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Edit0r)

Louisville, Ky, June 7-UP)- The field for the Kentucky Derby reached "the feel of the track stage" today with the owners of the probable starters still wondering just what their thoroughbreds can | do.
 For the wartime ban on racing to large degree has prevented them from getting an accurate line on the horses which will run for the roses on Saturday. They are hoping their horses can go the Derby distance of mile and a quarter but for the most part they don't know whether their horses have the staying power needed.
 The IT or less which will face the barrier in the Fist annual re- newal of the nations racing classic have been brought along on a stepped up training program which has not been long enough for any conclusive tests. The pre-Derby previeWs were staged on hurry-up basis after the ban on racing was lifted so whether the accelerated training program will see the horses fit is matter of debate. Most of the trainers feel that their charges need more conditioning
 The uncertainty of the horses condition bore out the predictions of most turf men that this third ctront-po,- rrrA,,1I ho iIo open affair with some of the out siders being accorded as good a chance as those which have been established as the chief contenders.
 Two horses each from the east and west were winning most of the pre-Derby support. The customers, Hoop Jr. and Jeep, which won the two sections of the Wood Memorial at Jamaica last week, were gaining supporters on the basis of perform ances thus far. The westerners- Pot O Luck and Burning Dream won their way into the circle of fa- vorites for the most part on senti- ment.
 Jeep and Hoop Jr. have been tested more than most of the other probable starters and the 1::51 3-5 one and an eighth mile workout which the latter turned in yester- day dropped his odds from 10 to six to one. Eddie Arcaro, who rode Hoop Jr., to victory in the second section of the Wood, was sched- uled to arrive late today and prob ably will put the Derby hopeful of Fred W. Hooper, Florida contractor, through light prep trial tomorrow.
 Jeep and Pot O Luck rated as CO., favorites on the latest line at four to one with Hoop Jr. and Burning Dream the next choices at six to one. The regard with which most horsemen hold Calumet Farm and Trainer Ben Jones began to drive down the odds on Pot O Luck. Jones still feels that Pot O Luck has as good chance as any horse in the race, although his race show ing in the Blue Grass Stakes last Saturday was not too promising. The same sentiment which rides with Calumet and Jones also was reflected in the odds on Burning Dream. His record is mediocre. But Kentuckians have warm place in their heart for Burning Dreams owner, Col. E. R. Bradley, and they are hoping he comes through with his fifth Derby tri- umph,

Con q Fish Drown?
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

No, comrades, there is nothins funny intended, and though vol may be fisherman of many years experience, and have gained the idea that fish, unlike human cannot drown, you are as wrong as an lace, deuce" in a dice game The correct answer is YES and you are hereby permitted to read the proof from none other than Water bury's Jim Hurley, former Connec- ticult National Guard lieutenant colonel, and for the past several years, editor of the Outdoors column on fish and game subjects printed daily in the New York Mirror.
 Have a look-see: We've often gotten a sympathetic glance or two during a conversation on angling when we made a reference to drowning fish. The average man, and even some with quite a bit of fishing experience, figures that the water is fish's natural element. so how could it down?
 Then come the whitening and sympathetic looks in my direc- ton as though pitying guy who's reel crazy. We could go into a long discourse on the me- chanism of fish's breathing ap- paratus in the bronchial-gill to you-construction of the head and how the oxygen is famed from the water and transmitted directly into the blood stream instead of being transmitted through lungs as with animals
 A quicker and more salutary method is to ask the wondering one what would happen to man if he were taken out of his normal element. the air, or if his breathing apparatus were immobilized. Then the light dawns and the sympathetic glances melt almost apologetically
 All of which is mighty long way to introduce an interesting note that came to us yesterday from our good friend, and famous 4AleS4 14o O4O4Id1 1NCWS OSlVlCG war correspondent. George Lait, recit- ing striking example of how a fish may be drowned. George says, and quote:
 Gil Blackford, the Warner
 Brothers press agent has a cot
 tage at Los Lake, near Putnam
 Lake. The other day he found 22-inch large e-mouth bass which
 had been killed by an 8-ounce
 sulfish. The bass tried to swal-
 low the sunny, but instead of
 going down the bass throat the
 sunfish angled off into the bass
 gill preventing the bass from
 breathing and it died of drown
 ing. The bass was dead as hell,
 but when they opened the gill
 the sunfish swam merrily away.
