Kentucky Derby on May 6.

Then, the Preakness, pride of Maryland, on May 14 and finally the Belmont Stakes, toughest of all for it's a mile and a half, early in June. Until 1919 no colt, or filly, either, ever got home in front in all three. That was Sir Barton's year of glory, and eleven years rolled by before Gallant Fox turned the trick again. William Woodward, chairman of the Jockey Club and proud owner of the Fox, saw his homebred colt Omaha, repeat the triumph in 1935. War Admiral came along two years later to delight his old and ailing owner, Samuel D.

Riddle, and to add new luster to Man War's fame as a sire. That completes the' select roster. EI Chico Liked Matt Brady, the genial Irishman who handles El Chico for William Ziegler, is one of the few trainers who has the right to hope on juvenile form at least that he might have a triple crown winner in his barn. He isn't making any secret of his confidence in the undefeated son of John P. Grier La Chica, and that's unusual in trainers for usually they won't even give you the time of day.

"He's been well bred." said the chunky Irishman, puffing on his briar pipe as he watched the colt work at Belmont "and I have no doubt he will win the Derby." The three year old situation this year is more tangled than usual, and many of the better colts and fillies haven't even got to the post yet that is those that were good as two year olds. A filly and a colt that didn't do much as juveniles have already come to the fore Ciencia and Technician. There's a bit of hocus pocus going on about Ciencia, the filly who set a lot of top flight colts back on their heels in the Santa Anita Derby. Max Hirsch. her trainer, says he mailed her Derby nomination in before the deadline.

Colonel Matt Winn shrugs his broad shoulders and says that it hasn't arrived. He fervently hopes, though, that somebody finds that letter for it isn't often that he has a filly in his lists with more than an outside chance.

Midget Autos Race Friday BROWNSVILLE Brownsville sports fans will be treated to a i double portion of thrills and excitement Friday. March 24. with a double bill program featuring midget auto races and a spring training finale game between two elevens of the Brownsville high school Eagle football squad. The full sports card is sponsored by the Brownsville Athletic department.

The football game will bring to a climax the spring football practice of Coach Brooks Conover's high school Eagles, and is expected to give some indication of the potentialities of the 1939 Brownsville football prowess. The midget races will be the third event of their kind in Brownsville. Before a fair sized gathering of fans "Bo" Scott, Harlingen, driving i speedy little midget racer, set the pace Thursday night and took top money in the second edition of the midget auto race events. Scott took first in three of the six events. In the first race quarter mile time trials Scott was first, circling the track in 20.3 seconds.

Second was J. B. Trimble, Brownsville, in 20 5, while Roger Fallin, Brownsville, took third place with 21.8 seconds. Other times were Chas tain. 23 seconds; Ernest Hacker, San Benito, 24 seconds; and Luther Martinez, San Benito, 22.3 seconds.

The second race went five laps, with Scott Trimble, and Fallin racing Trimble took first in this event with 1.44 minutes. Chastain captured honors in the third race circling the track five times in 151 and competing against Hacker nd Martinez. In the third event a handicap raceScott showed his heels to the ix competing drivers, circling the track eight laps in 2.24 minutes. The fourth event 10 laps around the course was won by Fallin in 3.33 over Martinez and Trimble. The final eventa free for all race was again taken by Scott who blazed his way around the course two score times in 6.46 minutes.

Ciencia might well go on from her five length Santa Anita victory, but Hirsch and Robert Kleberg, owner, are having the deuce of a time making her eligible for any of the rich Eastern fixtures. She isn't slated to start in a stake at Belmont although she is in ths Pimlico Her lately found speed snd stamina must have surprised everybody concerned, for she wasn't rated any higher than ordinary as a yearling. That's why no money was wasted on nominations then, and it's too late now It won't be long before Alfred G.

He paid a small fortune for Adventurer in the Saratoga sales ring, and never has been able to get him to the post Vandervilt's hooes of course center in the Preakness for he has made the Pimlico classic the rich est of all the stakes for three year olds.

He hasn't had a ranking three year old since Discovery carried his colors, but mayhap Impound is the one to change his luck. AGGIES LOSE COLLEGE STATION. Tex. P) Hurlers R.

PETERSBURG. Fla. JP) With Rookie Warren Rosar hitting a home run, the New York Yankee siege Glenn Defeated In Two Races NEW YORK iJP) Glenn Cun ningham, beaten only once In eleven previous races this season, was whipped in both his starts Saturday night as long John Borican ran the fastest 1,000 yards on record to beat him by two yards and the Kansan then ran last in the Columbian mile at the Knights of Columbus games at Madison Square Garden. Cunningham was a full 40 yards back as Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin broke the tape in 4 minutes 11.1 seconds, seven yards in front of Gene Venzke, with Archie San Romani third, in the mile. Cunningham, who started in the outside lane, never moved out of last place.

Cunningham revealed after the mile he had had a temperature of 101 before the start of the 1.000, and that it was still at 99 when he toed the mark for the mile. Glenn said he had suffered an attack of influenza this week. In view of the circumstances, it was a remarkable effort on his part to start in either race. Borican, smooth striding New Jersey negro, beat Cunningham by two yards and smashed the master miler's world record for 1.000 yards in two minutes, 8.8 seconds. But Borican's performance was clouded by the refusal of starter Johnny McHugh to sign the affidavit.

McHugh claimed Borican beat the gun. His signature is required before the new standard can go on the books. Borican's time bettered Cunningham's indoor mark of 2:10.1, and also surpassed the official world outdoor mark of 2:09.7 set by Elroy Robinson of San Francisco in 1937. Cunningham's time also bettered both of those standards. Glenn was clocked in 2:09.2.

but since there were only two officials timers for his second place effort it cannot be accepted as a record in case Borican's application should be refused.
