Gallant Knight Wins Fairmount Derby; Runner-Up 6 Lengths Back COLLINSVILLE, 111., May Gallant Knight, a heavy favorite because he came up to finish second in the Kentucky Derby a week ago. showed his heels to a field of seven other 8-year-olds to run away witli the fifth annual Fairmount Derby this afternoon before 15,000 persons. The Audley farm colt, with Herman Schutte in the saddle, took the lead from the barrier and never was hard pressed. He won by six lengths.

Reveille Boy, owned by J. A. Best, showed an unexpected burst of speed in the last quarter to finish second. Longua of the R. C.

stable of Illinois ran third, six lengths behind Reveille Boy. Ned Disappointment. Ned backed as second choice, was a disappointment, finishing fifth, Sydney of the J. N. Camden stable, played as a dark horse, gave Gallant Knight something of a fight in the first quarter, but jockey Schutte never permitted his mount to be headed.

Gallant Knight ran the mile and a quarter over a fast track that was ideal for the Derby in 2 minutes 4 seconds, only three-fifths of a second under the track record. The winner paid $3.34 for a $2 ticket: Reveille Boy, $10.92 to place, and Longus, $6.54 to show.

He allowed twelve safeties, one of them a home run by Koenecke, over the high tight field fence.

Jonnard was driven from the mound by a seven-run barrage in the first two innings of Thursday's game against Columbus, but yesterday he was in complete command of the contest at all times. Two Doubles Bunched. Only in the second inning did the visitors get more than one hit. In this frame I.ayne doubled and scored on another two base clout by Ganzl. The Tribe tallied first.

In the third inning Warstler singled to center, CONTINUED ON PAGE 2S. Tolan contributing eight points by his performance in the century and the 220-yard dash. The Wolverines also picked up two thirds, four fourths and a pair of fifths. Simpson, discarding the starling blocks, which caused the International Amateur Athletic Federation to reject his record of 9.4 seconds for the century, ran the 100-yards today in 9.7, with Tolan trailing him all the way a yard and a half bo-hind. The Buckeye won the 220-yard dash in 21 seconds, beating Tolan to the tape by three yards.

Simpson was out after records in both events, but the" day was not to his liking. It was chilly and raw, and although the track was firm, dry and lightning fast, the P.uckeye comet seemed to be tightened up by the chill wind that swept through Dyche stadium. Two Records Fall.

P. H. Meyer, Cantlon Others of "Big Three." HV V. PATTOX, Sports Kilitor The Star. A crowd of approximately twenty-flve thousand auto fam witnessed the first day's qualifying trials at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday when 19 of the machines entered in the 500-mile international gasoline derby to be contested next Friday made the grade in the official four-lap (ten miles) test by showing an average of better than eighty-five miles an hour.

Those who qualify today will be placed back of the original fifteen In the starting rows, regardless of their time trials. The pole position In the front row was won by Billy Arnold of Chicago in a Miller-Harti Front Drive Special with an average of 113.268 miles an hour in which he drove four consistent laps. His best average was attained the second time he careened around the two and one-half-mila brick oval in which he was clocked the lap in 1 minute 19.39 seconds, which figures 113.264 miles an hour. The other three laps were 113.208, 113.279 and 113.222, the time for the full distance being 5 minutes 17.83 seconds. Meyer, Cantlon In Fronl.

The other two drivers to win positions in the front row were Louie Meyer in a Sampson Special with an average of 111.290 miles an hour and Shorty Cantlon in a Miller-Schofield Special with an average of 109.810 miles an hour. This makes the "big three" for post positions representing three different types of motors. Arnold's car is an eight-cylinder front-drive creation, Meyer's machine is a sixteen-cylinder job, while the one piloted by Cantlon has only four cylinders. Before Arnold qualified his car for the pole position his machine, which was entered by Harry Hartz, was charged with an official trial with Hartz in tho feat. The latter booted It around a lap at an average of 110.429 and quit, turning the wheel over to his teammate.

Arnold. Prior to yesterday it was thought that Hartz would qualify his own car in order to start it in the big race. As it is, according to the rules, the driver who qualifies must start. Hartz will serve as relief. Fronty Ford Gets Hand.

The greatest hand of the day accorded by the spectator went to Chester Miller when he pulled up at the finish of his ten mile dash with, his Fronty Special which is the only "flivver" entered in the race. His average of OT.MO miles an hour is the best ever registered by a Ford and when it faces the starter next Friday no doubt will be the popular favorita of too cheering throng. Miller speeded up his Fronty on thp last lay to attain an average of 98.039 miles an I hour.

Jack High today won the Metropolitan Handicap, stepping the mile in the ensational time of 1:35.

The victory of the Wolverines wan a personal triumph for Coach Steve Farrcll, grizzled veteran of the track and field sport, who is retiring after more than a quarter of a century of coaching, the last eighteen years of whioh he spent at Michigan.

His band of Wolverines had broken a three-year string of Illinois victories, and the 69-year-old coach left the field with tears in his eyes. Final. Events Decide Winner. Michigan and Illinois fought closely in the scramble for points, but the Wolverines made their victory certain by capturing the last two events, the relay and the hammer throw.
