CHICAGO, Aug. 27. - Calumet
Farms Ponder today ran the fast
est mile and quarter ever raced
by a 3-year-old steed to win the
$88, ,45O American Derby at WASH
ington Park and establish himself
as the champion of the year in his
class.
Ponder, under the guidance OF
jockey Steve Brooks, sizzled the
distance in 2:00ss. That clipped a
fifth of a second of the track and
American Derby record Of 2:00B
set by Calumet's Fervent in WIN
ming the same event in 1947.
Ponder, however. carried 126
pounds compared to 118 assigned
to Fervent.
Ponder led Joseph A. Goodwin's
KY Colonel across the finish by
two and one quarter lengths. John
A. Kinard's Johns Joy was third
another length behind, and David
Straus and Howard Wells Mr..
Snug fourth. Hal Price Headley's
Shakeme was last in the five horse
field. Ponder's running mate, De
Luxe, was scratched.
Warren Wright, owner of the
Calumet forces, hauled down $685.
$50 as first prize.
Ponder went to the post the ia
vorite at odds of Clio and paid
$3.50 and 1920. KY Colonel re-
turned $2.20 to place. There was
no show betting.
The triumph was Ponder's sew
enth in II starts this year and
went on the record with three 9TH

Classic, and the Peter Fan nanol-
cap.
It raised his earnings for two
years of racing to $267 ,925, all but
$4O0 of which he piled up this
year.
Ponder's victory was the fourth
American Derby for the Warren
Wright establishment. The other
Calumet Farm winners were Cita-
ton last year. Fervent the year
before, and Whirlaway in 1941.
The $66,150 purse also increased
Calumet Farms earnings for the
year to $922.647.
The race was witnessed by
1,127.
Ponder's time was three-f1fths
of second slower than the world
record held jointly at 1:59A by
another stablemate, Coaltown, and
st. Andrews II and Shannon II.
Even though Ponder's margin
of victory was convincing. Brooks
had to lay the whip on the son
of Pensive in the drive to the wire
after he had taken the lead in
front of the grandstand. Jess
Higley had KY Colonel moving
fast on the rail and Johns Joy
was showing late speed.
Johns Joy snatched the early
lead. but KY Colonel soon took
over and, was three lengths in
front of Johns Joy at the half
mile marker. Shakeme was third
and Ponder fourth, 10 lengths in
back of the leader.
At the mile Johns Joy went to
the front by q head and Ponder
was within another head Of KY
Colonel. They rounded the turn
for home in that order and Ponder
was on the outside improving his
position with every stride.

When Beethoven wrote the ro-

That's what happened last night,
as the National Symphony Orches-

The sounding of the trumpet at
two 15-second intervals is the chief
dramatic stroke of the music, Ac-
cording to a description Of the over
ture, the first blare of the trumpet
represents the distant approach OF
the Minister Of Justice. The second
signal heralds his actual arrival, re-

Woman Found Alive
After 5 Days in Plane
Wreck Where ; Died
by the Associated Press

BAKERSFIELD, Calf. Jan. A.
Mrs. Andy De Freitas. "a, of Bur-
bank, Calf. is in critical condition
in a hospital here today after lying
five days in the snow-coated wreck
age of a plane in which her three
companions died.
Suffering from fractures of her
pelvis, both legs. her jaw and an
arm, and from hunger and exposure,
she was brought here from the
snowy slopes of Bear Mountain,
where the plane crashed Saturday
en- route from Burbank to nearby
Taft.
A rescue party that reached the
scene yesterday found her husband,
Mrs. Eve Williams and the pilot,
Robert Gloe. dead. Rescuers ex-
pressed the opinion Mrs. De Freitas
was thrown on top of the others or
that her safety belt was fastened at
the time of the accident.
The rescue party included DR.
Robert H. Dykes of Taft, who with
his wife was rescued from a crashed
plane in Utah a year ago last No
vember by a party that included
Mr.. Gloe, then engineer for the
Wyoming Highway Department and
an expert skier.
DR.. Dykes, near exhaustion from
his efforts to reach the wrecked
plane, said he expected to find
everyone in it dead, but hoped some
might be alive.
The plane was buried in deep
snow, much of which had fallen
since Saturday. DR.. Dykes said the
first thing the rescuers noticed was
movement of Mrs. De Freitas
hand.
Don't mind me: look after the
Others" she told them.
She was carried miles on a
