LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 1. (IF)
Report that all was not well
with , J. K. Wldener's Brevity
spread, over- Churchill Downs to
day as 18 three-year-olds, In
oludmg ' all the favorites, were
named tor1 the (2nd running ot
the Kentucky derby at Churchill
Dovrast tomorrow.; ; '. ' ' ...!
The rumors regarding Brevity,
' 1 "to" 't ' choice," spread following
the unexpected entry ot Mrs. P.
A.i B, Wldener'a Dnieper, a sta
. blemate, . and a none too im-
pressive workout by the favor
ite, yesterday Danny Stewart,
who- handles- Dnieper, said hia
horse 'would not be named.
LOUISVILLE. 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

Fourth; Portland
Club Loses.
(Tty the Associated Press)
The Missions, who were down
in fourth place Wednesday,
moved back into the second spot
in the Pacific Coast league today
by breaking Lou Koupal's rec
ord of six wins and setting Seat
tle down 4-2 last night.
Koupal allowed ouly seven
bits, but the Reds, playing
heads-up ball, made them count.
The Indians made three errors,
one of them accounting for a
run, while the Reds fielded per
fectly and stole tour bases. Hal
Splndel, Seattle catcher and lea
gue leading hitter, homed in
the ninth with none on base.
Homers Bent Portland
Four baggers by George Myatt
and Ernie Holman, San Dlcgo
infielders, gave the Padres a
8-4 victory over Portland's
Beavers. Each circuit drive was
worth two runs. Dudley Lee,
whose error waa responsible for
one Padre run, accounted tor
halt the Beavers' hits with two
doubles and two singles.
An error by Joe Marty, San
Francisco's newest candidate tor
the majors, helped the "bush
league" Sacramento Senators in
to fifth place tie with the Seals,
6-5.
Marty dropped a fly oft the
bat of Art Garibaldi, former
Seal, permitting Joe Dobbins to
come home with the deciding
run. That climaxed a wild
eighth inning In which the St.
Louis Cardinals chain - store
clerks made five tallies in
rally started by "Red" Worthy
ing who just got back into the
lineup after being out with a
cold, and aided by the veteran
Lee Head who banged out a
screaming single when called on
as a pinch hitter.
L. A. Streak United .
Oakland broke up the revived
Los Angeles club's winning
streak with an 8-7 .victory when
the Angels called on Johnny
Salveson, a right-handed acquisi
tion from the Chtcdgo White
Sox, to do the hurling.
" The Acorns bunched six hits
off him, four of them for extra
bases including a homer by Ken
Douglas, left-handed Oakland
moundsman, who was called on
to pinch bit tor Floyd Olds in
the second Inning when two run
ners were on the lanes.
Karasick Will
Answer Pete's
Mat Challenge
Pete Belcastro's remark that
"I can beat any of the bums
around here" probably will lead
to a rough evening for him when
he meets Al Karasick of Portland
here next Tuesday.
Karasick, who Isn't one to let a
challenge go unanswered, over-
beard the boast. His answer will
be made in the armory ring.
Belcastro and Karasick, two of
the leading heavies to wrestle
here, meet in the main event The
winner has received a tentative
offer to meet Dude Chick ot Wy
oming the following Tuesday
night.
George Wilson, who has suf
fered some pretty rough handling
in his last two matches, hopes to
get back on the victory path when
he tackles Joe Smolinskl ot Pol
and in the semi-windup.

the sidelines, the latter suffering
from a fractured wrist that la ex

This Is the third time In the
