PEI Bully Is Third;
Near Record Time
Made on Slow Strip
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LOUISVILLE, KY. April 25.-
H. B. Delman's Roaming treated
a Kentucky Derby minded crowd
of 81 900 to a mild surprise today
as he streaked to a head victory
in the Churchill Downs Handi-
cap, opening-day feature Of the
Downs Derby Week card.
The 4-year-old gelded bay Of
spring of Roman, campaigned
by the Argentine team Of Trainer
Horatio Luro and Jockey Jose
Contreras,. got a neck out front
coming down the home stretch
and outlaSted Pomace by a bob
bing head at The wire.
Pet Bully, heavily backed be-
cause of his recent victory over
Hill Gail, Jagged six lengths be-
hind in third place.
Roaming's time for the six
furlong sprint was an exception
ally fast 1:102s considering the
track was rated "slow" after
overnight rains. The track rec
ord for the distance, BernWood'S
ITO fiat in 1851, was set on a
fast track.
Track in Good Shape.
This was taken as an indica-
ton that the Downs strip has
been conditioned into its best
possible shape for the Derby
next Saturday, and will give Ma
tive Dancer, Correspondent and
others challenging them an ex-
cellent chance to better Whirl-
away'S record of 2:012s for the
Derby's mile and a quarter.
Good times had been turned
in by winners in the prelimi-
naries before today'S feature,
when the track had been rated
muddy" The "Slow" rating
was announced shortly before
the feature after the combina-
tion of a brisk wind and sunny
skies dried out the top dressing.
The spring temperatures
brought out one of Churchill
Downs largest opening-day
crowds, another indication that
Derby fever is mounting as time
draws near for American rae
ing's No. ! classic.
And in the crowd was large

brought to town for a full week
of frolic before the Derby. This
was indicated by the crowds
behavior, especially in the main
dining room.
Run on Mint JuIeps.
The head waiter reported a
brisk sale of mint juleps, bought
mainly by visitors who associate
the bourbon drink with the
Derby. This was true, he said,
despite a comparatively cool day
when mint juleps rarely sell well.
Roaming's race was a thriller.
The New York gelding trailed
in the early running, letting
Pomace and Pet Bully fight for
the lead. But Contreras soon let
the Delman charger go and got
him into second place, length
behind Pomace, three furlongS
from home. Pet Bully had faded
back a length and a half behind
the leaders.
After that. 1t was strictly a
two-horse race, with Pomace un-
able to survive Roaming's close
rush.
The winner paid 1920, $40
and $3.50. Pomace, running as
an entry with Inseparable, re-
turned $3.50 and $3.50, while Pet
Bully paid $2.4O to show.

Lighthouse, about two miles
away.
Hatteras Island is wide at Bux-
ton and the village is set in re-
dolent pine forests. l enjoyed the
walk out past the end of the
town and then a mile or so along
the beach to the lighthouse. Bux-
ton is as peaceful as any town
ever visited and nearby Hatteras
beach, with mountainous seas
running and storm clouds scudd-
ing low, was the widest place
imaginable. I was caught in sew
eral rain squalls but kept stepp-
ing along and was soon looking
up at the great lighthouse that
sends its beam out over the most
dangerous waters on the Atlantic
coast. For grandeur and rugged
beauty, no man-made structure
ever impressed me more than
Hatteras Light.
walked on the point of the
cape, where several people were
casting for drum in the raging
surf. Returning, I left the beach
and followed the road that para
llels it. 1t was getting late, the
clouds were darkening and the
wind growing stronger, and I was
glad when an old rattletrap Of
car overlook me and stopped
and somebody asked me if 1
wanted ride. 1t was an attrac-
tive young woman with the light
hair and blue eyes often seen
among the girls and women of
the Outer Banks.
On our ride into the village
she told me she was native of
Buxton and was home for a few
days from a distant city where
she is studying to be a nurse. l
asked her what people lived in
Buxton, obviously not a fishing
village, and she said they were
mostly the families of men con-
nected with the Coast Guard or
who had retired from the Coast
Guard.
Next morning I enjoyed the
bus ride up the length of Hat
teras Island, so narrow and bar
rem in most places I could see the
ocean on one side and the sound
on the other. We passed through
the picturesque villages of Avon,
Salvo, Waves, and Rodanthe, and
then for mile after mile at the
northern end of the island
through the Pea Island National
Wildlife Refuge, where I saw
the advance guard of the multi
tude of ducks and geese that will
find a safe haven there as cold
weather brings them down from
the northern marshes.
At Oregon Inlet, which sep
arates Hatteras Island from
Bodie Island, we crossed on the
fine new ferry, the Governor
Umstead, and drove on north
ward to make connection with
the Elizabeth City bus at Mays
Head, where I entered familiar
territory. Mays Head had grown
by leaps and bounds since my
last visit there several years ago.
With its miles of honkeytonks,
it was a sad sight after the
sweet, dreamy villages I had
been in for the last few days.

DR.. Benjamin Mays, President
of Morehouse College, Atlanta,
Georgia, speaking at Community
Church, Sunday morning, April
IL, on Our Unfinished Task"
said that, although we of this
generation know more than our
ancestors, we are no more moral.
We must find ways and means to
improve human progress by find
ing out how to make man better.
1t is not enough to train the mind
without training the heart and
soul. We must do three things.
First. we must call on the Fed
eral Government to take the ini-
tiative in subsidizing the social
sciences, such as medical re-
search, sociology, education, as it
is now subsidizing chemistry and
physics for military purposes.
We must also call on the colleges
to change their emphasis from
developing skills to developing
character in the students. And,
finally, we must call on the
churches to make it clear to all
that man needs God. At present,
a man may be a member Of the
church in good standing and be
an exploiter, and bigot. He said
that if Hitler and Mussolini could
change the people of their ma
tions into Fascists and Nazis in
less than a generation, it is possi-
BILE for America and the other
free nations to make man better.
