chip off the old thoroughbred block,
ran one of the biggest all Kentucky ,

this afternoon with the second fast- j

In all derby history dating away back
to 1875.
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

CLEVELAND, O.. May 8. (AP)
For the first time since last July 13.
the New York Yankees were shut out
today, losing a 4-to-0 decision to the
Indians behind the four-hit pitching
of Ivy Paul Andrews.
The Cleveland hurler, an ex-Yankee
himself, never gave the famed "mur

they blanked, but the Yanks suffered
their third straight defeat and drop
ped Into fourth place In the Ameri

The battle for the most part was
a tight pitching duel between An

"El Goofy' weakened In the fifth and
the tribe scored a run on four
straight singles, and blew up for a

the Indians completed their scoring

CANZONERI BEAT
REFUSES TO QUIT
NEW YORK, My 8. (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

CRATER FISHING
BEST THIS YEAR.
Fishing In Crater lake will be
better this year than ever before.
David H. CanflPld, park superinten
dent, predicted yesterday.
Steel head and rainbow trout and
sllverslde salmon planted In the
lake In recent years will be mattired
this summer and ready for snaring,
Mr. Canfleld pointed out, A sub-
sin nt lal stocking program has been
carried out In the past several years,
75,000 steel head and rainbow trout
having been planted last September,
though these will not be sufficiently
grown for angling this summer, be
related.
Mr. Canfleld recalled that Crater
has been described as the best fish
ing lake In the national park sys
tem by David H. Madsen, fish ex
pert of the national park service
und former Utah state game com
missioner. Addittoual boat wtll he available
for fishing at the lake this summer,
Mr. Canfleld said. The boats are
operated by the park concession'
nalre but visitors may fish from
the shore of the lake without
charge. No license is required to
fish in Crater lake. The lake can
be reached probably by July 1, Mr,
Canfleld thought.
In addition to the ordinary spe
cies, & few German brown trout
are caug h t eac h yea r. P resence of
this fish In the lake is a sort of
mystery as no one knows how It got
into the water. Mr. Canfleld re
lated. It must have been planted

hold over the ring rope from be

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

as a whole appear to possess plenty
of dynamite, what with Toots &tes

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. And that It, that Bel
