June 1 (P) trApril the Plfth. glveii.only on out RjtlOj Chnnac .to win, today outclassed 10 of England's, best three-year-oicis, winning the 153rd running of the derby. As April the Fifth, currying the silks or T. Walls, flashed acrose the line .Uircerquarters of a length in front of the Aga Khan's Dastur, W. Wu. O. Singer's. Orwell, tho cholco at 16 to 8, finished fur back in the field. Lord Roaeberry's Miracle, sec ond choice at .100 to 0, was third, a head back of Daatur. Although rated by many as a money horse, April the Fifth was conflict ered to have no better than a 100 to. 6, .chance 4.0, defeat' Orwell, win ner pf the two thousand guineas and obmnplon Juvenile of the English $urfi Mist , year. Dastur was a rank oiHstucr at m 10 ,. Crowd Surprised , 1 The victory of April the Fifth owned by Tom, Walls, movie star, trainer and alUaround , sportsman, came, as a complete surprise to the estimated crowd of one. million, in cluding the king and queen and oth er members of the royal family. ., The result showed what many lurf gxperta had .predicted that Orwell would not stand up under the grucii lug test over the cue and one-ttalf miles. . April the Fifth, sired, by Craig An Eran out of Sold Aguin, traveled the up and down hill Jour ney in two minutes and 43 seconds, . The Ago Khan, Indian potentate, Just missed winning his second derby in throe years, when Dastur failed to overhaul tho fast travelling April the Fifth . In the stretch. Blenheim won for, tho Aga Khan in 1030. . E. Esmond's Royal Dancer, the only member of the derby field to win a race over the Downs course this season previous to today, was fourth, heating out the Aga Khan's other entry, Firdaussl. Orwell, famed for his early speed was well up among the leaders for the first part of. tho difficult Journey but weakened when tho real tCHt came. , m , O .; May Change Nnnie Walls, who recently, returned from tho South Seas, said he was consid ering changing the narrye of tho win ner from April tho Fifth to "June the First." The crowd, said to be one of tho largest. In tho long history of the blue ribbon turf classifr, was favored by the weather. There were spo radic, showers but they, if ailed to dampen the enthusiasm of the infi nitude, , which packed tho huge grandstand and JammeT every avail able standing space on the Downs. . Despite tho defeat of Orwell, his first in eight starts, Walls was given a tremendous ovation ns ho led his colt froti tho track. The only other time Orwell had been defeated was in his first race as a two-year old last yeur. , Three American h:scs, Victor 1 Emanuel's Totatg and Richard Crok pr's Celebrator ond Corey, ran but failed to figure In the money. T thrco wero outtOlers In the wagor lKi . From an excellent stat, Cockpen ! jumped into tho lend, closely fol lowed by April tin Filth and Baccus with Miracle and Orwell not far off the pace. ? At, the half-way mark, Lord Derby's Portfolio took commamd with Jl (laiiHsl. Cockpen. Miracle and Orwell within striking distance. When the .field reached Tattenham corner, tyc critical point in tho race, Portfolio was still out In' front. 0 A quarter of a mile from the fin ish line Dastur bounded to the front.

Native eons of Erin have won six of the seven Olympic champion ships, and .the f .isplclon exists that Freddy Tootell. the Bowdoln giunt who won 9ie 1024 title at Paris for the United States, has &ome Irish blood in his system. q The old Irish dynasty, fathered by the great John Flanagan, was de veloped among American emigrants. It contributed to this country's unin terrupted sweep of hamnwr tossing honors until 1928, when n new prod uct) of the Ould Sod, Dr. Patrick O'Callaghnn. carried Ireland's oivn colors to victory.
