June l _ (AP) — The Derby. known this year as the “Victory Derby al- mough 1g will be run in its war- rlchest race since Blue Peter won the same event in 1930 at Epsom Downs. Twenty-nine colts have been entered in the English turf's an- nual blue ribbcn event following easing bi transportation curbs by the Ministry of War ‘Pranslwfl after the defeat of Germany. Bookmakers report that the pub- lic is making the race the occasion for real plunging and that bets of £125 (about $550) and upward-as well as the customary l0 shilling transactions-are pouring into their offices daily. One of the book- makers reported today he already had handled £100,000 on the race. 1.0m 's Xidas. which won the Newmarket Stakes last week. is one of the stronger fav- orites. The price on this colt has been forced down to 7 to 1. The King's Rising Light also is attracting mimy bets and his price has been shortened froml 100 to 26 to 1. High Peak. owned jointly by Lady Derby and Lady Irwin; Chamossaire. property of Sqdn. Ldr. Sidney Joel. and Dorothy Piaget's Sun Storm are others drawing early attention. Owner Lord Astor has issued ublic warning his Court Martial a doubtful starter because of the 1 I-Z-mlle distance. Gordon Richards, England's vet- eran jockey who never has won the Derby. has his choice this year of riding either Manuchehr or Fordiham, both owned by the Aga Khan. -Twice before Rich- ards has had a. choice in the Derby and each time the horse he rejected triumphed. This year's winner will receive 831358-5739} more than Lord Blosebery received for Ocean Swell's triumph a year ago. The Derby was brought to Newmarket, 90 miles from Lon- don. at the start of the war. It is hoped that it will be returned to Epsom Downs. 10 miles from here. next reason. 1 Baseball s Big Six (By The Associated Press!) (Three leaders in each league).

June l-fAPl- Charley Root, who is doing some pitzhing for Columbus Red Birds of the American Association, pro- mises to be quite a flinger when hc gets a little older and some more experience. After all, he's only 46 and he's only been in organized baseball something like 24 years. Root. fl veteran of 16 years’ scr- vice with Chicago Cubs. came iv Columbus last vzintci" tn manage the Red Birds and figured he’ might do a little relief pitching on the side. Instead, he's become just about the hottest Sunday nit- cher in the business. A sprained ankle. suffered dur- ing spring training, slowed Root- up at tine start. of the season and to the mound. He hurled four in- nings in relief against St. Paul and allowed five hits and one run. Came Sunday, May 13, and ‘Root got himself in trouble with the grandstand managers when some of his strategy misfired 1n the first game against Milwaukee and t e Red Birds lost. Charley promptly silenced his critics by taking the mound himself in the seven-inning second. holding the Brewers to three hits and winning 2-0. On Sunday. May 20. he had to go a full nine innings against St. Paul but again it was a shutout. He gave up seven hits as the Red Birds won. l-0. Last Sunday it was Poet's turn against Kansas City. The Blues finally broke his string of score- less innings on a home run but that was all for them. The Red Birds won. 2-1. and Kansas City got only four hits. That all adds up to 2'1 innings of pitching in which the old mas- ter has allowed just l9 hits and two runs. He has walked four and fanned l8. lie iiolidsy on King's Birthday ',,.,, OTTAWA.
