fi MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON Bonjour Victor in Derby Trial Br HAY AYRES Louisville, Ky. - (liPt - A field of eight shaped up tor the 89th running of the Ken lucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday with Candy Spots, the oddly mark ed colt from California, a (trong favorite to win Ameri ca's greatest horse race. The ranks of the probable starters dwindled rapidly Tuesday with two owners giv ing up prior to the running of the $16,200 Derby Trial and five more apparently bowing out after Bonjour gave them a lesson in stretch running in the final prep for the first of the triple crown classics. Left to oppose Candy Spots, which boasts a perfect record of six victories in six races, were No Robbery, another un beaten horse, Never Bend and Chateaugay which are un beaten as 3-year-olds, and Bonjour, Gray Pet, On My Honor and Royal Tower. These eight represent the smallest field to face the start er in the Kentucky Derby since the Calumet Farm entry of Citation and - Coaltown scared away all but four rivals. Cam Closest Bonjour is the horse which came closest to spoiling Candy Spots' unblemished record when he was nosed out in a sprint race at Santa Anita last winter. He won the Trial with long drive which started on the turn into the stretch and continued through the straight away. At the end of the mile race run in 1:36 25 over a "slow" track, the California bred colt was three-quarters of a length ahead of Gray Pet with On My Honor another five lengths farther back. ; Then came Jet Traffic which will not start in the first of ihe triple crown clas sics. Instead the Canadian bred colt will be pointed for the Queens Plate in mid-June. - Behind Jet Traffic were Wild Card, Sleuth Hound, In vestor and Rajah Noor. None are expected back for the Derby while Lemon Twist and Devil It Is were declared out Tuesday morning.

Denver Skipper Protests Tilt By RON SUPINSKI United Press International Denver manager Jack Tighe was up in arms today over his team's 7-6 loss to Seattle Rainiers. Tighe lodged a formal pro test of the game on grounds that R. G. Smith, a Seattle reliever, did not officially pitch to one man when called from the bullpen in the ninth inning of last night's game at Denver. Rules state that a pitcher must face at least one batter. Seattle manager Mel Par nell brought in R. G. Smith when relief pitcher George Spencer had a 3-2 count on Denver's Eddie Haas. Smith threw one pitch and walked Haas, but the walk was of ficially credited to Spencer. Then Parnell brought in Pete Smith to replace R. G. Smith and Tighe issued his protest.
