Louisville, Ky., May 9. Old; Rose
bud, champion 2-year-old ofj 1913,
added further laurels to his crown
this afternoon when he won tie for
tieth Kentucky derby from a grand
field of 3-year-olds, running the mile
and a quarter in the wonderful time of
2:03 2-5, a new record for the race.
The game little son of Uncle was
only galloping at the end. Jockey
McCabe had taken him up and was
watching the battle for BeconcJ place
between Hodge and Bronze Wing, the
latter landing in third place. :
This race stamps Old Rosebud as
the most wonderful 8-year-old ; of re
cent years. Out .of 16 starts frie has
been beaten by a, head twice, j Today
he was many pounds the best; in the
race, and despite, the fact that the
track was slow and a bit sticky, he
ran the most phenomenal mile and
a quarter in the history of rating in
Kentucky.
Four out of ..the eleven candidates
-which were named to start declined
the issue. At all -times Old Rosebud
was the favorite.i !
, At the break " ? JlcCabe took his
mount to the front and he was never
headed. He pulled up in grand style
and was given the greatest ovation
a thoroughbred has ever recetved at
historic Churchill Downs. The; music
of the band was drowned in the; cheer-
J ing which lasted throughout this plac
ing or a great wreath or American
Beauties about the neck of the win
ner. , ;
The rids Jockey McCabe gave Old
Rosebud was wonderful. He never let
his contenders get close enough to
hurry or bump his mount. Twenty
thousand people saw the race, making
a new record for attendance, i

of the spring season.
The track was fast and the visitors
to the annual Junior week-end crowded
the grandstand and the bleachers to
their utmost capacity.' Before the
opening of the afternoon finals, 100
freshmen danced about a huge bonfire
in Klncald field and burnt their green

last seven months.

which the outfielders of both teams
figured in work that drew tumultuous
