3-year-old colts, as finely tuned as a concert violin, challenged one another In the 78th running of the $125.350 Kentucky Derby today. It'll take hardly more than two lions of the nation and all walks minutes for them to cover Church- Ill Dawns' sun-baked derby route of a mile and one quarter. But in that brief period will he packed all the hopes and disappointments of three years of careful training for these thoroughbreds in America's No. 1 horse mcc. Some already have acquired a degree of greatness through two- year-old and early season triumphs.

Others have yet to visit the winner's circle this year. But they all are survivors of an original field of 161 once nominated for this turf classic.

Then into the back stretch, where stamina begins to tell. And finally around the final turn into that heart-breaking quarter-mile of the home stretch. The weather man co-operated in making the gala occasion a success, changing his earlier prediction of showers to fair and cooler.

That cooler part is good news to the fans, assembled from nil sec of life. It has been mighty ho here the past few days. Hill Qail remained, the outstand ins favorite. In fact, the chance of the devil-red silks of Mrs. War ren Wright's Calumet Farm win ning the derby a fifth time wer enhanced yesterday when traine Ben Jones entered Top Blend as running mate for the big son Bull Lea.

Race experts saw in Jones' sur prise action a desire to have horse, other than his own Hill Gal: set the early pace. Top blen showed a high turn of speed winning a six-furlong dash her earlier in the week. The Calumet combination wa held at 7 to 5 in the overnigh wagering, was placed at 6 to 5 the track handlcapper early today and may parade postward as shor as 4 to 5.

Dropo set the home run pattern the afternoon at Fenway Park, with a bases-loaded blast off Ned iarver in the Boston Red Sox's 3-6 riot against the St.Louis Browns. Garver coasted along with a 3-1 ead until the Sox cut loose with big nine in the sixth. A balk called by umpire Charlie Berry and an error by rookie Jim on Don Lenhardt's long drive upset Garver.

Dropo's smash knocked him out. "I got mad when the balk was called." said Garver. "I just started throwing. I realize If you get he other fellow mad he can't play. That's what I did.

It's my While a was -getting "mad," lefty Bill Henry clicked off his third straight win by holding the Browns to eight hits. The Browns also lost the services of Marty Marion when his old sacro- Uiac trouble kicked up in mid- game. He thinks he'll be able to return today. Eddie Lopal, a little off the beam in his previous starts, found the groove against Detroit to throw two-hitter for the Yanks' 4 victory.

It la easy to forget. He was out of the lineup only full season, sitting unhappily the Card bench and trying to innage a Card team which was iver the hill, yet 1 in that brief time nemory of his brilliance dimmed little and Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees became the beau Ideal of or tstops.

We strongly recommend hat you --ee the Browru and their hortstop before.Marty runs out of Though the grinning veteran still itoutly maintains he will play 125 ames, it seems fair that le is an optimist. The major knee he underwent during the winter makes that number gamble, no matter how good it eels now, and the back trouble which has plagued Marty for several seasons still forces him to sleep on a board, they say. Also, here will be those 90-degree days along in July and August. But as long the thin man maintains his present pace he will be worth watching and the Browns will not fold.

He makes you resize how thoroughly silly Is to pick any club to win a pennani unless it possesses a really fine shortstop. He makes us recall what Marse Joe McCarthy said one spring night in Panama: "After July 4 your shortstop is your ball club." Marty might be a half-step slow than he was in his greatesi days when the Cardinals were champions, yet he is so long from where he begins to the other enc that It makes little difference. He might still reach any ball that Lou Boudreau ever did, which Is the best illustration we can offer.
