First Ice OF Season
Reported Thursday
First Heavy Frost Plainly Visible
In Cold Snap

Old Man Winter officially arrived
in this vicinity Thursday morning,
when ice of a Is inch thickness
was reported in many bird baths
throughout the area.
The chilly weather was accomp-
anied by a heavy or what the old
timers often called a "hoar frost"
which was plainly visible all over
the fields and roof tops. In the
open country it looked like a
young snow.
The sudden cold snap caused
many car owners to hasten to get
their cars winterized and many
were the vehicle operators who had
to scrape the ice like frost deposits
off their windshields and windows
before they could navigate safely.

BALTIMORE, MAY 15--The briefest sort of exposure

Kentucky Derby
For one thing the field figures to be less untidy-11
entries probably against the II at Louisville weeks
ago. True, Tony Lee won't tomorrow but neither
will of the chaf that cluttered up the track at
Churchill Downs 1t may be that Tony Lee has valid
lead in the for honorS but this
could be challenged tomorrow night if Sword Dancer
should win the Preakness.
The Pimlco classic, as seen here will be a contest
among three horses-Sword Dancer First Landing and
Royal Orbit For the moon-shooterS there Ounce
ManasSa Mauer Nothing else much figures although you
only have to think back to not long ago when ManaSsa
Mauler took down the Wood Memorial at Jamaica at
long price beating First Landing among others.
SWORD DANCER IS THE Virgnia-bred miniature who
finished about inches back of Tony Lee in the Derby

Hot White Sox
Bid for Lead
Against Yanks
By the Associated Press

The suddenly hot White Sox
steam into Yankee Stadium to-
night for the opener Of a two
game series that could hoist
them into the American League
lead and PUNK the world
champions into the cellar.
The White Sox lost their
fifth in a row a week ago. but
now they've won six straight
after a sweep of three at Bos-
ton. The streak began when
they won the last three in a
four-game set with Cleveland
and it's carried them within a
half-game of the first-place In
dams, who have been idle the
past two days.
The White Sox could take
the lead by coupling a sweep
over the Yankees with a Cleve-
land split in two at Boston. or
by getting no better than a
split with the Yanks should the
Indians drop a pair to the Red
Sox.
Wynn Wins 254th
The Yankees, although win
ming four of their last six, are
in seventh place, five games out
of first and two games out of
last. Should they drop two to
the White Sox while Detroit
sweeps a pair at Baltimore, the
champs would replace the
Tigers at the bottom.
