raulJones, at 16 to Victory Nets Parr Upset Is 2d; On Watch, 3d Jockey Rice Rushes Mount Into Lead and Shows Way to Field of Seventeen Throughout; More Than 50,000 See Running of Historic Race LOUISVILLE, May Jones, of the stable of Ral Parr, the Maryland turfman, and ridden by Jockey T. Rice, won the forty-sixth renewal of the Kentucky Derby at a mile and a quarter here to-day over the largest field that evev faced a Kentucky Derby barrier. The winner, given a position second from the rail, sprang into the lead at the start and was never headed. Harry Payne Whitney's Upset, with U. Rodriguez up, four lengths to the rear, was second.

Former Congressman George W. Loft's On Watch, ridden by N. Barrett, four lengths behind Upset, was third. Damask, piloted by Jockey E. Ambrose, was fourth under the wire, two lengths behind On Watch.

The result of the race bore out thc! prediction that it would be tho most open affair of the kind in Derby his- tory. Donnacona went to the post the favorite and failed to finish in thc money. Pari mutuel $2 tickets on thc winner paid $34.40 to win, $12.30 to place and $6.60 to show. The stakc, the richest on thc Ameri? can turf, had a total gross value of $..6,925. Thc net value to the winner was $30,375.

The owner of the second horse received $4,000 and the third $2,000. Damask saved his stake. which included $23 to nominatc and $250 to start. Seventeen horses lined up for thc start. At the quarter mile Paul Jones was leading rrince Pal and Bersagali ore.

At thc half Paul Jones was a length and a half in front of By Golly, with Upset close up; at the' three quartera pole Paul Jones had main? tained his lead, with Wildair a head in I'ront of upset. After a mile had been reeled off Paul had increased his distance in front to two lengths and Upset was heing extended to starve off On Watch, a half length away. In thc stretch thc real strugglc began. Paul Jones bare was a head away from the onconiing Upset, which was leading On Watch by the same margin. Excitement in the grandstand was at a high pitch.

A babel of voices rose as the leaders neared thc finish and rose to a roar when Jockey Rice pusbed his mount over the iinish by the mar? gin of a head. Trailing the four leaders were Don? nacona, Blazes, By Gblly, Wildair, Rev sagliere. Patches, Herron, Beal, Prince Pal David Haruin, Cleopatra, Peace Pennant and Sterling in thc order named. The crowd, estimated at more than broke all Derby Day attendance records. Thc grandstand, more than feet in length.

was filled to capacity. Hundreds who could find no at-omntodation in the space about. the structure flocked to the infiold and stood for hours waiting for the premier the day. Meanwhile more than 100 pari mutuel machines were in operation under the grandstand recordinc: wagers ranging from $100, the largest unit takon, to $2, the least amount ac? cepted. A number of machines, from the time the gates were opened in the forenoon until a few minutes before the race was run, liandled nothing but wagers on the Derby itself.

So great was thc jam and so nurnerous the bet tors that even the cnlarged facilities proved inadequatc to handle thc throng. White Sox Lose Game and Yield Lead to Indians CHICAGO, May White Sox were ousted from the American League lead as the result of their defeat by Cleveland this afternoon, 10 to 6. Kid Gleason exhausted four pitchers in an ffort to check the scoring of thc In? dians. The victory lifted Speaker's team into a tie for first place with the Boston Bed Sox. Urban Faber started in thc box for the local bunch, but was sent to the -howers in the fourth.

He gave way to Dick Kerr, who, in turn, was replaced by Payne. The youngster went along well for an inning, but in the seventh t.he Indians scalped him for five runs. Lowdermilk then went to the mound, but it was too late. Elmer Myers, the former Athletic, was batted hard toward thc end, and was succeeded by The score: for Payne In s. v.

Columbia Baseball a Triumphs Over Cornell 6-4 F'rom a Special Correspondent ITHACA, N. May defeated Corneil by the score of 6 to 4 in a ragged baseball game here thia afternoon. The contest was foatured by good pitching on the part of Cy Meany, i thc Xew Vorkers' moundsman, and i loose fielding by thc Ithacans, who i were guilty of eight errors, all of which counted ag3inst them.

Howard, short figured in four costly misplays, which ho failed to atone for by rather good work at tho bat. Columbia broke thc ice in tho third inning, when a single brought Tyanan across tho. plate. In the fourth, Cornell drew ahead, seoring two runs, when Howard's single tallied Enaworth and I Cross. In the seventh, Columbia went ahead with two runs on Weinstein's hit and bad errors by Spiers and Cross.

The visitors picked up two more in the eighth on Goodman's drive and a bad error by Howard. A Cornell rally in the ninth inning yielded two runs. The score: i CORNELT. COLUMBIA ab po fl el ikrhpn ar Bouajfura. 3b.3 0 6IJTedford, ul so Murphy, 0 0 9 I OiSclitiaars.

Eastern League All games postponed; rain. 1, Wins Zachary, New Pitcher, Stops Huggins Men Allows Only Five Hits; Score, 3 to Oil Is Bunied to Dry Infieid From a Special Correspondent WASHINGTON, May was burned on the field here to-day to en? able the New York Yankees and the Senators to stage the fourth game of their series, which the locais won by a score of 3 to 0. Griffith's men have now won three of the four games played. Tbe teams wind up tho series with a contest to-morrow.

Bob Shawkey was sent to the mound by Miller Huggins, and the former gob found it impossiblo to perform at his best with a sore hand. Constfquently the Senators made merry with his de? livery, the majority of the safeties be? ing bunched in the early innings. Another Washington recruit pitcher was set in against the Yankees, his name being Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, a left hander. The rookic kept the New York batters to five scattered hits. Finds Yankees Easy Zachary failed to start auspiciously, as Ward beat out a rap to Shannon, but the youngster immediately recov ered and retired the next three bat? ters in order.

Not until the fourth in? ning were thc Yankees able to get an? other safety. Peck began with a- clean single to left, but again Zachary set down the next three batters in easy fashion. The Senators got after Shawkey in tho very first inning, but he delayed disaster. Judge began with a single to right and Milan sacrificed. Rice was thrown out by Pratt, Judge reach? ing third on the play.

Roth was passed and he immediately stole second. After fouling off half a dozen balls, Harris finally struck out. The second inning nctted Washing? ton two runs. Ellerbee walked and Gharrity tripled to right center. Zach? ary insertcd a single to left, sending Gharrity home.

Judge continued the bombardment with his second hit, which sent, Zachary to second. Aaron Ward then made a sensational stop near third base of Milan's hit and. after forcing Zachary, made a perfect throw to Pipp, getting thc batter by a close decision. Lewis- Fails in Pinch After Peck had opened tlie fourth with a safety he r-ucceeded in reaching third on Pipp's sacrifice nnd Ruth's long fly. Lewis failed in the pinch.

when Shannon handled his grounder with a fine throw to Judge. wild throw helped Washing? ton to its third run in 1he fourth round. Ellerbee singled off Ward's shins nnd in hurrying his throw to Pipp Yankee third baseman throw ine bal! over tho first sucker's head. Ellerbee. reached second on the error.

Shannon beat out a slow grass cutter to Peck, I-llcrboc reaching third. Gharrity brought Ellerbee home with a long fly to Lewis: The scoro: NEW YORK 7A 1,1 I WASniXOTn. f.V. al. li po a ri ab li po a ...401 1 8 1 'Judge, lb ...40 314 on Peckln'gh, I noMilan, if 2 tt I'ipp.

Somewhere beyond the hate? Beyond red Faith and Peace despond? Raw grced shall wane and friendship crown ths state? Some beyond.

Thc song dies out upon thc far winds blown, Where cheerless clamor of the clans arise, And ont old trays lost, Faimess walks alone Beneath drear sunlcss skies. The rose of faith across old twilight icays, Croivning the last red splendor of the West, Shows, through thc irraith of vanished yesterday, Thorns only for Lifc's brcast. Yet we shall scc somewhere across the years, Lost in the shadows by a starless stream, Old days return where Friendships conquer fears? A dream. wrought from a dream. Weary thc waiting for the new road when Thc song will call once more across the night, And side by side the clans will toalk again Through darkness turned to light.

For ten years Jackson's main ambition has been to load Ty Cobb at bat. Jackson batted over .400 one season and even then was beaten out. So far he has secured an impressiye lead over his Georgia rival, but two or three things can happen between May and October. The Giants and the Dope Figured via tho dopo, the Giants looked to have one of the 'best clubs in baseball. The main strength of the team was a hard hitting, brilliant outfield and a strong catching staff, with Barnes, Benton, Toney and Douglas.

Thc catching was good but the inlield only fair. Yet for the better part of three weeks now the York club has been far off the trail, one of the big disanpointments of tlie year. And the main break has been in the with weak hitting? the two strongest looking sectors on the club. With better weather and this pitching staff un kinkod tho Giants are sure to look better later on. But they must look 100 per cent better to have any bhot at tho flag.

Once More It has already become extremely evident that the White Kox will again bo vital factors in the American League raco. They will bo Cleveland's leading competitors, for Red Sox are not strong enough to continue sparring with the peak. Tho battle in 1918 and again in 1919 found Cleve iand chailcngjng the leaders, and if Cleveland has to finish second again it will bo through Chicago's strength. Any ball club that carries Eddie Collins, Buck Weaver, Ray Schalk, Eddie Cicotte and Joe Jackson ign't going to be very far behind when the autumn leaves begin to turn pink and brown again. i The alleged dissension in the White Sox camp didn't last very long with the $5,000 bonus hung out for world series athletes at the end of the summer's Not very many are going to dissect themselves out of a shot at 5,000 bucks in these distressing moments.

Our Alibi As long as the real red stuff was sold My verses rang with a rhythmic swing; They were the real stuff, I've been told, Along the line that the masters sing. But now tliat near-booze the way And I hit the boivl for a proper note, Is it any wonder that day by day I only u-rite like a nearly-pote? What show do you think that Shakespeare would Have had with only a beerette dope? What earthly cluince would Burns have stood Inhaling a lot of frothy soap? The old red stuff rimmedthe borvl they hit And left them keen as they sat and wrote; But, alas, in, a near-booze age I'm bit And only write like a nearly-pote. The report that the war had wiped out all of Great Britain's athletes seems to have been a trifle exaggerated, judging from what took place at Phila delphia a week ago. A bare trifle, to break it gently. "The Yanks and Athletics recently played a game where the New York infieid, other than third base, had only three fieldlng for third, one for short and none for second.

Isn't this a record?" So far as we can rake back it is. "You figure that Sisler may beat out Cobb this season," writes W. W. D. "I doubt it.

In fact, I have a modest little bet that Joe Jackson will beat out Sisler, as Jackson is on his way back and just about due to arrive." The Last Tavern He who shall be the weariest, Who finds life's icay ihe dreariest, Will know in God's last sleep A deeper peace than others will, Far sweeter than his brothers will, When twilight shadows creep. He who must face the lonely tcay, For him at last tlie only ivay, Will find it leads afar To rarcr dreams than others knoie, Yes, fairer than his brothers know, Beneath the twilight star. "Ouimet, meeting Vardon and Ray at Brooklin. again, should win, as he is now much more experienced than he was as a kid of nineteen." Yes, but the "kid of nineteen" is seven years away from youth's confl? dence and unconcern. VanderpQol Urges Clubs To Check Gambling Evil W.

G. Vanderpool, secretary of the United States Golf Association, is quite stirred up over the growing evil of gambling in the game of golf. He has written a letter, which he has sent out to the various club seeretaries, in which he states that at a recent meet? ing of the executive committee of the association it was deemed best for the interests of the game to condemn all forms of gambling, such as the selling of pools nnd individual bets. Mr. Vanderpool urges that the vari ous clubs curb the practice of betting much as possible in every way, for i he fears it will act as a detrimen.
