CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 8. (P) War Admiral, a chip off the old thoroughbred block, ran one of the biggest all Kentucky , derby fields dizzy under balmy skies this afternoon with the second fast- j est triumph In the sixty-three -year history of America's most colorful horse racing spectacle. The little brown son of Man O' War 1 came home In front a'gal loping. Just the way his daddy used to do. after leading from the start to the finish. There never was much. If any. doubt about the outcome as War Admiral beat Pompoon by two legnths and Heaping Rrwurd by ten lengths before a near-record crowd of 03.000 spectators who acclaimed a new three-year-old equine king with an ear splitting ovation. War Admiral, the favorite at ap proximately 5 to a. stepped the mile and a quarter under the guidance 4 of Louisville's own Charley Kurtsiri er In the remarkably fast time of 3:03 1-5.

Despite such bad behavior at the post that he was largely responsible for a delay of more than eight mln utees In the getaway. War Admiral broke on top, soon took command and made every post a winning one. The colt showed his flying heels to the sprinters, Fairy Hill and Hcelfly, and had plenty of finishing power to stand off the surprising stretch challenge of Pompoom and the ace of Mrs. Ethel V.

(AP) Tony Canzonerl still refuses to ring down the curtain. The greatest human fighting ma chine of the modern era. pound for pound, was beaten Into a bloody pulp last night when ho attempted to lift the world's Ughtwelgh crown from the dark brown brow of Lou Ambers, but as he sat In his gory m?ss In the dressing room, he refused to be lieve it. t - "I won." muttered Toiiy as his handlers tried to open his right eye. "I'll fight again. I'm not through." Fight experts, unanimous In their opinion that Tony not only had been thoroughly beaten but was definitely through, shook their heads and said It was a shame for little Tony to carry on. They appealed to Sammy Goldman, his manager, for the word that was promised before the fight: "If Tony Is beaten he'll quit," Gold man had vowed. "Quit nothing." roared Goldman. "Tony won the fight. Donovan ( Referee Arthur Donovan) robbed Tony of victory. He let Ambers hang on, he let Ambers stick his thumbs In Tony's eyes and he Impeded him from start to finish. But even then, I think Tony won. Sure, Tony will fight again. He'll take a month's rest and come back and show 'em all." Donovan, regarded as one of the most efficient referees in the fight game, merely shook his head at the charges and said: "li was pitiful. The most liberal count I could give Tony was two rounds with one a draw and the -rest to Ambers. Why should I Impede a great little fellow like Tony?" The two- Judges, Charlie Lynch and Eddlo Forbes, agreed with Donovan. The Associated Press score card gave Ambers 12, Canzonerl two and one even. The crowd of 11.000, which paid to gross of $40,746.05, booed the verdict, but that was expected as no man had been a greater hero In Mad ison Square Garden than Tony Can zonerl.

BARRED IN PETE BOUT AT ARMORY 81nt:e the Medford hexing commis sion so thoroughly and with so much finality barred the painful arm -breaker hold over the ring rope from be ing used In the local wrestling wig wam, the question has uaturaliy aris en in the minds of paying customers as to Just what effect, if any, the dls barrment will have on the chief ex ponent of the maneuver, Alvln Britt, Brltt, an ex-Junior heavwelght champion of the world, meets Peto Belcastro tomorrow night In. the top spot of Promoter Mack Llllard's once-a-week program of pain and punishment at the Armory. Tha card as a whole appear to possess plenty of dynamite, what with Toots &tes and Cowboy Billy McEwen tangling In the middle affair and Sailor Dick Trout meeting George l-ngoskl in the curtain-miser. However, the focal i spot of all eyes will bo on that top bout, and the principal point of con jecture will be as to what extent the potency of Brltt will bo lessened. Goaaip in the best grappling cir cles around town seems to preclude; the possibility that Brltt will be as good as he ever was. Of late, the husky fellow has relied almost en tirely upon the now passe arm-breaker over the ropes, and local "experts" claim that without benefit of that devastating hold, he will be Just an other grappler trying to geS along Its a cinch that when Brltt was Al lowed to use the hold, he was far from the general run. He was tops, hereabouts, anyway. Another Interesting point regarding the match tomorrow night la called to attention.
