(Reg. U. s. Patent Office)

New York, April g - (UP) -- Lounging in the tack room at Ja- maica between races, little Eddie Arcaro admitted today that he had received a bid from Maine chance farm to ride one of it's big four in next weeks Kentucky Derby-and indications were 1t would be Lord Boswell.
 T will fly to keeneland tomorrow to ride Lord Boswell in Thursdays blue grass stakes and If he goes good I would like to ride him in the derby" said the little jockey who needs one more victory to write derby riding history
 Dark skinned Eddie, native Hardboot from Newport, Ky, has won the iaunt for the tulips three times. He scored with Lawrin in 1888, Whirlaway in l941 and Hoop, Jr., last year. That ties him with the ancient Isaac Murphy, triple winner of the Gay Nineties, and Earl Sande.
 Acaro should have had a fourth in l942. That was the year when, as top contract rider for Green tree, Eddie chose Devil Diver over Shut Out and Wayne Wright brought the Divers stablemate home in front.
 The Maine Chance four pose a similar and worse problem, because Mrs. Elizabeth (Arden) Graham's s stable has a possible winner Tn either Lord Boswell. Knockdown, Colony Boy or Star Pilot.
 Eddie can't decide between Lord Boswell and Knockdown, the two he favors most. The problem, how ever, may not be left to him.
 T don't know which one they would want me to ride" he said, dropping one of the numerous crank letters he receives in which the unknown writer wanted to bor- row 5000.
 Owner Picks Jock
 T understand they have several top riders lined up to ride their colts and they'll make the choice, " Arcaro added. If we fere con- tract riders, the oldest boy in point of service would get his choice. This way, its up to them"
 Eddie admitted that his selection to ride Lord Boswell in the Blue Grass stakes indicated they may want him to be abroad the colt in the derby. But 1t will have to show Arcaro plenty to have him up when they run at Churchill Downs on May 4.
 Sure, I'd like to have that record of riding four derby winners" he smiled. But you know there's more to 1t than just a record. You can't eat records"
 Which is what makes Arcaro one of the greatest money riders of all time.
 T wouldn't even go down there just to ride in the derby if didn't think I had a chance to win," he said. q don't want a stiff to ride just to say I rode in the derby. want a horse with 8 real chance, or I won't take him as my mount"
 Strong Horse
 The cold which worries Arcaro, as he contemplates riding Lord Boswell in the Rose Run, is Knock down.
 "That Knockdown, is big, touch seasoned colt" he explained. That's what you need for that mile and a quarter. But we'll have to see first what Lord Boswell shows"

Mcclellan Faces Battle
With PAC's Carmack
In Tennessee Today
BY the Associated Press

Tennessee voters f1ocked to the
polls today to make their choice
in the bitterly contested sena-
torial election between 77-year-
old Kenneth D. McKellar, vet
eran of % years in the Senate,
and Edward Ward Carmack, 46-
year-old attorney backed by the
CLOS Political Action Commit
tee.
Three other candidates are op-
posing Senator McKellar, but po-
litical observers feel that the real
fight will be between the President
pro tenn of the Senate and MIR.
Carmack.
The interest in the race is re-
f1ected in predictions that more
than 100000 voters will cast their
ballots. Unlike most Southern
States, a plurality alone is neces-
sary for nomination and the DEM
ocratic nomination usually is equiv
alent to election in Tennessee.
Carmack Staged Wide Attack.
Mr.. Carmack has staged Wig
orous campaign, stumping the en-
tire State and in more than 100
speeches has accused Senator Nc
Kellar of trying to gain control of
the Tennessee Valley Authority for
patronage purposes. Mr. CarmaCk
also charged that Senator McKellar
is the political stooge of Boss
E. H. Crump of Memphis, whose
political organization has long been
dominant in Tennessee.
Senator Mcclellan has remained
in Washington during the entire
campaign. His supporters in Ten
nessee have countered the attacks
on his record by making an issue of
the support given Mr. Carmack by
the State CIO-PAC.
The other three candidates in the
race are Byron F. johnson of
Springfield, Herman H. Ross of
Jackson and John R. Neal of Knox
vile.
COP Also Holds Primary.
Tennessee Republicans also hold
their primary today, and in the
1st congressional district five can
didates fought it out to succeed
Representative Reece, who recently
was elevated to the Craftsmanship
of the Republican National Com
mittee.
In other districts one Republican
incumbent, Representative Jen-
nings, and two Democrats, Repre-
sentatives Gore and Murray, were
unopposed. Seven Democrats faced
opposition: Representatives Ke-
