Crowds Reluctance
To BET on Favorite
Prevents Minus Pool
By The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1.-The
Derby crowds reluctance to go all
out on short-priced favorite today
prevented feared minus pool.
The flrst-posted odds offered the
first indication that the Coaltown-
Citation combine would not be
backed so heavily that Churchill
Downs would have to sweeten the
payoff pot to give winning bettors
at least 10 cents on their dollar.
Instead OF odds expected to be
the maximum low of one to ten,
the Calumet entry was eight to five
on the basis Of early betting COM
bined with morning-line odds.
My Request had been given sub
stantial backing, but soon after the
division of the win betting -only pool
was posted on the tote board, the
big money was poured behind the
favorites.
1t was characteristic of Derby
goers, though, to back the long
shots.
The odds closed at two to five
in favor of Calumet, safely away
from the feared one-to-ten or
worse.
The total Derby handle was $670,-
833, out Of which $4l0,420 was bet
on the Calumet entry The state
got three per cent of parimutuel
taxes and the track was able to
deduct its ten per cent before pay
ing winning bettors $3.50 on 81
mutuel tickets.
The betting on the Derby fell
of more than half million dollars
from last year. the Downs manage
ment announced. Last years han
die for the big race was $l,253, ,042

The late Col. z. r. Bradley
finished one-two with his horses
on two occasions. In 1921 his
Behave Yourself and Black
Servant did the trick, and in
1876 it was Bubbling Over and
Baggenbaggage.
Wright passed the credit for
his win this year to Trainer Ben
Jones and Jockey Eddie Arcaro.
He said it was a case of a per-
fectly trained horse winning with
"a perfect ride.
The race went exactly as We
thought it would" he said. Il
never had any doubt about 1t.
The whole run was perfect"
On the winners platform,
Wright patted Arcaro cordially
and said, well. Eddie, III see

Yes, sir, and I'll have these

Favored Netmen Win
In Friends Tourney

Favorites came through the OPEN
ing round of the annual Friends
School invitational tennis tourna-
ment yesterday with colors flying as
form hel true. In the Junior divi-
sion Gil Bogley, hitting harder and
swinging smoother than ever, dis
posed of Leatherwood of Anacostia

Teammate Jack Yates, one of Bog
ley's most consistent challengers
Ed. Wesley of Georgetown Prep, Jack
Zavitz of Friends and Corky Suttel

in the thick OF the fight for the
crown. But at best they are given
only an outside chance of upsetting
Bogley.

pears to be wide open with COO

blanked Herr of Gonzaga while Coss

AS Take Command in Sixth.
Wynn was operating on a no-hit
game and owned 10 lead enter
ing the fourth inning as the result
OF doubles by Jake Early and Eddie
Yost in the third. McCosky prompt
ly dispelled notions of a no-hitter
though, when he launched the
fourth with a lusty triple high of
the right field fence.
A moment later, after Elmer Valo
walked, McCosky scored after Ferris
Fain flied to Sherry Robertson in
right field. Wynn walked Majeski
but averted additional trouble tenn
porarily when Majeski was whipped
out trying to steal third as Sam
Chapman famed.
Philadelphia's next hit wasn't de-
livered until the sixth inning, but
that was tremendous blow into the

who led of. The Athletics third
hit off Wynn was a mighty blast
into the left field bleachers by Ma

Pete Suder inserted a harmless
single with two out in the seventh
but the AS relocated the range in
the eighth when McCosky doubled
to left with one out. Valo walked
before Fain famed, but Majeski
scored both runners with a double
which bounced off the left-field
barrier and blasted Wynn from the
mound. Chick Pieretti then slipped
a third strike past Chapman.
Mats Gambling Backfires.
Washington pounded Scheib for
six hits in the first four innings, but
the Mats willingness to gamble
backfired in the fourth, when they
accumulated three singles without
scoring. Mickey Vernon opened with
a single, but went out stealing be-

Wooten beat out an infield hit and
Mark Christman shot single to
center, sending Wooten to third.

the political bigwigs, leaders of
business, society and the military
But most Of all, there were plain
Mr.. and Mrs. America and the kids.
Churchill Downs was primped, its
felt-smooth lawns glistening green
and bordered by gaily colored flow-
