Ky.,- May 1. (IP) Their last workouta a matter of .. htstbry, sixteen three-year-olds, one of them a filly, rested In their stalls today as the derby . fever tightened Us grip on this thordnehbred capital in prepar ation for the 62nd running of the turt classic at Churchill Downs tomorrow. Worn the highways and by ways came the racing clans In the- greatest throngs since the post-war depression. SO great was the Influx of horsemen and horse followers, - many high in social and ' political life of the nation, that the- hospitality of the city was taxed to the ut- most ' : -." 40,000 to See Race - Close to 60,000 are' expected to pack the quarter-mile long grandstand and overflow Into the flowered-covered infield to morrow. The congestion will be so great, however, that many will get only a fleeting glimpse of the horses aa they match strides over one and one-quarter miles tor the purse, ot $40,000. The horses themselves ' played little part in the pre-race hys ' teria. They went through short workouta this morning and then retired to their closely guarded Italia to wait the call to "boots and saddle" tomorrow at about 4:30 p. m. (CST). The horsea for the first event of the eight race program will be called to the post at 12:30. The derby la scheduled sixth on the card. Along the Rlalto, in packed hotel lobbies, and at the track, the, arguments were long and loud. Fisticuffs nearly developed aa ,the hardboota joined the vis itors in attempting to settle the race after partaking of Ken tucky's famous hospitality. Hot tips- were to be had on every corner . without, asking.. . Brevity on Tap But after it had all simmered down, Joseph Early Wldener's Brevity remained the horse to heat. Winner of five of his six races, the bay flash has come np to the classic in perfect condi tion, he equalled what was then the world record oi 1:48 l-o for 1 one -and one-eighths miles In 'winning the Florida derby. His one race and workouts here took nothing from Us standing. -. Wldeoer has never won the derby but this appears to be his yea. If the track is fast. Brev ity: is expected to be held at 7 to ft or shorter odda. If the going is heavy, he'll probably till, retain his position as the favorite but at longer oods. t The track was sloppy for yes terday's races. The weather man; predicts local showers to morrow but holds .out a 50-50 chance that the sun will shine at derby time. j It, Brevity Is beaten, the con sensus is that it will be by one of three horses William Wood ard's Granville, Morton L. Schwartz's Bold Venture or the Bomar stable's Grand 81am. The latter probably will rival Brev ity '.for favoritism if the track Sport Shop 103 South 7th Fishing Tackle i Tennis Stringing ' Rod and Gun Re-' pairing " Full Line of Spalding Athletic Goods CLYDE BOTTORFF JOE KNUDSON Gnnsmlth ' ' ' Spalding ' Agent 7t6NT BEAtlSfltb Vlf iTlESS" TrlAN A I OUTBOARD MOTOR ?
