In Earnest, Derby'5
Midget, Is Feared
Because Of Jones
By Sid FEEDER

LOUISVILLE. KY. April 29.-It
is a source of considerable surprise
to hear the Blue Grass boys and
girls going overheard on horseman
who isn't hard-boot, but maybe
it's because Ben Jones has been
around these parts so long now
he's practically an adopted son.
There is one other very good rea-
son. too, of course. This is that
in the last eight years, they've seen
Plain Ben from Parnell, the Mis-
souri, magician of the race track,
come up to the Kentucky Derby
twice with ailing horses and once
with one which was somewhat daffy
And each time the gee-gee he sent
out there wound up with the neck
lace of roses and the pot
So they don't laugh when Ben
sits in with Derby horse any
more. And even though he has
little fellow this time called In
Earnest. and one and all admit the
solid hayburners in Saturdays field
are Lord Boswell and Knockdown
yet, they're unanimous in advis-
ing you to watch Mr.. Jones.
All Figure the Same.
No matter where you 20 among

Leslie Combs I'd, who watches over
the racing interests of Mrs. Eliza
beth Graham-including Lord Bos-
well and Knockdown-climbs on the
wagon, although just looking at
pint-sized In Earnest against the
sturdier gallopers in the Derby set,
you get kind of feeling they should
pick on some one their own size.
There is no doubt, off his record,
that Plain Ben has just about writ
ten the Derby book. You remember
he brought up Herbert Woolf's big
country horse from Kansas City,
Lawrin, in 1888 and Lawrins leg was
hurting. They kept telling Ben he
had no more chance for that neck
lace of roses than If it was the crown
jewels. But when they put up the
numbers it was the country horse at
1920 for So.
And in Al for Warren Wright
now, he had Whirlaway, little Mr..
Big Tail. which used to be called
Wacky Whirly because he couldn t
run straight and was as likely as not
to bounce off the outside fence turn
ing for home.
Whirly Delivers In Big Way.
Patiently Ben worked to teach him
to make the turn. All Derby week
he sat his lead pony at the head of
the stretch and each time Whirly
came round, Ben would move the
pony few steps nearer the inside
rail, forcing Mr.. Big Tail to run in
side of him. Finally he was within
half dozen feet of the rail and
Whirly made the turn as true as a
merry -go-round, and the most sur
prised guy was Jockey Eddie Arcaro
who didn't even want to ride Whirly
in the Derby at first.
Then, on Derby morning, as the
cliucher, Ben put the famous one
eyed blinker on Whirlaway and all
Mr.. Big Tail did was zip through the
fastest Derby of them all.
And two years ago it was Pensive,
whose leg also was ailing. But he
dropped from out of the clouds in
the last half mile to pick up the
marbles.
And now it's In Earnest, which
holds the doubtful distinction of be-
ing the littlest horse in the race.
But hes a son of Blenheim II,
Whirlaways daddy, and the Sir Gal
lahad mare, Needless Gal, and that
gives him the kind OF engine that
can keep running all day.
