I-Iugc Throng Secs Historic Race End

In Pho

By lhl his LOUISVILLE. Ky., May L-(AP) -The colt which u “living an bor. sawed fluff-husky Jet Pilot-won the Kentucky ‘Derby Saturday as

from all the way. and one of the greatest throngs in sports history saw him do it at odds of 5-1.

They said the “Cosmetics Kid." a sturdy chestnut from the Main Chance bann of Woodbrldge. On- tario-born Elizabeth Graham, the Elizabeth Arden of the cosmetic world, "would come sizzling out o1 the gate and the test of this field of 13 would never catch him. And that's exactly how it happened in the 73rd and blsgcst of nil clerbics at Churchill Downs.

But it wasn't too easy for this Kmtwky-bﬂm speed art-int. b0- cause tvxoiinrg up ct the finish were rtretchv-sizzling Phalanx and Fault- icss. the rangy hope of trainer Ben Jones. And when they laid their noses on the wire, it was so close that few irn" the vast. roaring Lhrong—estim.atcd by Col. Matt Winn at between 115,000 and 120,- D00—could split them until the photo-finish had been developed. .-

Lutcd By Bare Head

Tho Pilot had managed to last by a bare head for the glory and the necklace of roses and the pot of gold that this time amounted to 592.160 of a gross of $120,210-

Straining, stretching. struggling to make it; under heady Eddie Arcaro, shooting at his fourth derby

victory which would have given nim the all-time riding record. Phalanx just missed. l'.c came

(mm far back but the best he could get was second money another rhort head in front of Faultleos, which closed from sixth.

Up on the Pilot was Eric Guerin from the Bayou country. making his first start in the derby a win- ning ono._ ‘Ilhe 23-year-old booter from Maringouiit. La. got the chance to ride the husl-v chestnut only a. fem days use when Mrs- Graham asked his contract employ- er to release him from a previous engagement.

"I knew tho Pilot didaft like to be hit," Gtnrin said after the race. ‘In one of two rides I gave him last vcar, I hit him on-ce and he swer- ved. So I didn't dare today. even when Rhalanx came rushing up."

It was a surprise fInish-Jbut not K10 surprising-to this biggest Der- yy crowd. If any colt had been hngucllcapped" correctly, it was the Pilot. They said the others would have to catch him because he runs well on an off track. Well, lhis one was slow from two days of rain, la witness the 2:06 4-5 time for the 1 1-4 rnilel, one-fifth sIOWQI‘ than the mighty Assault did it a year ago.

Ncwllotting Record

Thousands (mm all over thie nountry sent 1t imo thrmuiuels in rge drunks: On uho California Y". 0n On Tnltt. who finished Iourth, and on tho others. until they'd piled up a Derby betting iecord of $1,253,042. well over last year’; old high of $302,474. Griaalcd Tom Smith. Jet Pilot's 61-year-old Georgia-born trainer and tho man who developed Sca- bisouit from a cast-off loper into one of world's greatest motley-win» hing horses. had the Pilot ranor

sharp.

The Pilot. almost. didn't get lo run in the Derby, Last year, a few days before the Derby, he was shipped down to Louisville because he looked ready to race. A couple of days later. fire swept. Mrs. Graham's barn at Arlington. ﬁnd virtually all the Pilot's stablemates there were bunnod to death.

So they've bee-n saying since that he's living on borrowed time. And when ho got here, just a year ago. he came zipping out of the gate and cake-walked home by nine lengths.

But just as it was a joyable 18m" boreo for the Pilot. it was a disap- pointment to Phalanx. owned by ihe partnership of Sonny Whitney ind breeder A.S. Hnwiii.

It. was bitter. for plain Ben tones. lil10 Missouri magician who ionditiom thc Calumet string for Narrnn Wright. of Gitlcago. He‘!

to Finish-

Alihuuzh defeated Navy basket- ball lcnm Saturday night proved

conclusively to the 200 fans pre- sent that the brand of ball played in the Cily League during the past months ls far superior to what ii. had been considered and the game nlso showed that ap- pearance o high ranking teams here will quickly create interest among fans. + + -l- 1-

Once the local players haul zut over their opening game "jitters" they made things plenty interest- ing for the Canadian champions. So interesting in fact that the Strands admitted after the game U19? were all out as the game fumed from what had looked like a "Walkaway" into a nip and luck scoring race with the losers act- ually outscoring their opponents by a slim two point margin from the eight minute mark on.

-l- Il- -I- +

Strands are a smooth, ball-toss- ing outfit worthy holders of the Canadian title. Deadly when in scoring position they rarely miss their chances gs forwards con. tinually work in behind the op- posing guards for setup shots and then -tear back to form a five man defence that ls difficult to break through. They are a fine bunch of sportsmen also and after the game were quick to praise the showing t; the Navy team whom they con- sider l team that would go places if they had the proper coaching. »

4' + 4- +

That was a fine compliment from s, fine team, and the v15‘.- torsstruck the nail on the head when they mentioned the ‘coach- ing angle. All season long Navy have been both managerless and coachless and lack of the latter particularly wag bound to show up in their performances; The players themselves were well aware of the fact but. evidently there was no one around to take them in hand and so they JhSf. kept plugging along themselves and that they were able to give the Strands the competition they did speaks volumes for the ability that is contained in their ranks.

Il- +

Now that a local team has shown they are no "pushovers" even for Canadian champions perhaps far more interest will be shown in the game next season. At any rate Saturday night's game should go a long way in bringing about such a state of affairs. As far as the team itself are coﬂcerned they are now laying plans to register for the Intermediate playdowns and although they are looking far ahead they are determined not to

Backtracking through the pages of history often gives you a dif- ferent slant on things. says Doug Vaughan in the Windsor Star. Repeatedly you'll find how little things that happened made a big difference. The other day we were browsing th ugh some fight material and ran across a yarn by Wilbur Wood of New York. Wood starts out. by asking the question what would have happened to Jack Dempseys subsequent career if. on that broi-ling Fourth of Julv of i919 in Toledo, Jess Willard had pulverized the Manassa Mauler in the first second

round? 4' i Q l-

Actually. as you very well know. Dempsey stopped Willard in three rounds and went on to gain well- deserved recognition as one of "he greatest heavyweight fighters of all time. But it could wry well have been otherwise, with Demp- sey flattened and discouraged. be- ing just another of the heavy- weight crowd.

1i 4 4' O

Dempsey. always a fast starter and n fast finisher, h_ad planned to tear into Willard at the open- I-ng bell In an effort to cut him down fast. That was just what Willard counted on. of course. Jess expected to stick out his ‘mg left and tear Dempsey’: head off with that terrible right uppcrcut for which he was famous, the very first time Jack rushed hlm_

Il- Il- + i»

But it didn't happen that way. It very welkmight of. howevcr. had not tho late Benny Leonard advised Dempsey and his boss, Jack Kearns to have Jack lay back and make Willard do the leading. So. for almost a minute. Dempsey did not attack. Finally Willard. impatient, led to Demp- sey. Jack ducked under the ls-ad and came up with a punch that floored his giant opponent. Frc-m that point on it was more oi o. slaughter than n fight.
