June 5. (AP.) It's a good thing that the Kentucky Derby is going to be run Saturday, considering the rate owners and trainers are getting ideas about starting their' horses in the S75.0OO race. As it is. there figures to be quite a traffic Jam i ound 5:30 u.

m. (Central War Time) at the head of Churchill Downs' home stretch. Until a few days ago, the mile end one-quarter Jaunt for three-year-olds shaped up as a merrv little party, with a dozen or less horses expected to parade to the post. 16 MAY START Now, however, there Is a nossl bility that as manv as 16 may don silks. Blthough it Is likely that several or the owners will think twice before laying the $500 start inpr fee on the line.

The rush started last Saturday when the nighly regarded colts quartered at the Downs bowed to a pair of outsiders, Darby Dieppe and Fighting Steo. in the Blue Grass btakes. with the Dossibll ty of such a larga field and chances there will be plenty of jamming at the start as the horses battle for racing room in the five-sixteenths of a mile run to the first turn, we lean toward a pair of Eastern colts to take down first and sec ond money. They are Col. C.

V. Whitney's Jeep and Alexis from Henry Lunger's Christiana Farm. BOTH SLOW STARTERS Both are the type that should keep out of early trouble since they are not fast starters. But they can turn it on when they hit that last bend, a quarter-mile from home. Jeep did it in win ning the Wood Memorial at Jamaica.

Alexis also came from far back to finish second to Fred Hooper's front running Hood Jr in the other section of the Wood Alexis showed that he was ready for working the Derby dis tance In 2:05 35. the last quar ter in 24 35 seconds, at Jamaica yesterday before leaving for Ken tucky.

It's Tom Delahanty of whom I'm writing. Tom dropped In for a chat the other day and brought with him the belt you see in the picture which appears herewith. He won it back in the gaslit 80s in Harry Davis' Tivoll Garden, located on the present site of the Warner Theater in Fifth Avenue. There Davis staged boxing exhibitions although "prize-fighting" was illegal in those times. Davis bought the belt from Tom Sterrett, who won it in England years before and sold It to Davis for $60, the value of the chain of sliver plates of which it was made up.

Davis put i up as the prize in a tournament for the middleweight championship of Penn- TOM AND eylvanla which drew 16 contestants and was won by Delahanty. Tom now is retired from his position as freight claim agent for the B. O. Railroad and Is pending his time visiting among his married children In various parts of the country. He is hale and hearty and very alert and has a great memory lor dates and incidents.

His Longest Bout One Hour, 40 Minutes "I have lived in Haielwood for 77 years, and worked at an open hearth furnace in Soho in my early days and fought on the side," he said. "Didn't have much time to train, but I did very well for myself, if I do ay so. Later I became captain of police on the railroad and then went into the freight claim offire. We had no street cars to brine Into Pittsburgh in my fighting days. When we wanted to come into town we had to make the trip on the connecting railroad." Tom's longest bout lasted an hour and 40 minutes.

As a welterweight and middleweight, he boxed 'em up to heavyweights. He was intimately acquainted with such ring greats of his time as Jack McAuliffe. Jim Corbett. the original Jack Dempsey, Jack Fogarty. Dom-lnlclc McCaffrey.

John L. Sullivan. Bob Fttzsimmons, Peter Maher and Jim Jpffrios. He regards Jeffries as the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. He thinks rucged Jim at his best would have beaten both Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis, but he thinks Dempsey would have knocked out Fltzslmmons.

He says McCaffrey, a Plttsburgher. who boxed John L. and Charley Mitchell, was a clever big man who compared favorably with Billy Conn In skill. He says Corbett was probably the cleverest boxer of all time in any class. How do the modern boxers tack up with the Not too well, in Tom Dela-hanty's opinion.

I "trained better and knew more about their trade, as a class, than those of today. They knew how to feint and counter and block and were trained for endurance. They didn't get much money. I got very little, but I enjoyed every minute of every fight." Once Substituted For Ed Delahanty The only badge of the ring that adorns the features of the veteran is a nick on his nose, which was broken. There is no thickening of the cartilege of the ears and there are no scars from cuts.

His cousin, the famous Ed Delahanty, the Babe Ruth of his time as a hitter, once had him go to Cleveland and take his place as a catcher in a Sunday game for the Shamrocks while Ed himself went to Wheeling for a double-header. "He played me a dirty trick," Tom cViiicitled. "I learned later he received $5 for his day's play, while I received nothing and even paid my own expenses." The Delahanty brothers were Ed. Jim. Joe, Tom and Prank.

They made up one of the most famous families in the history of baseball. Bill Dadio's Team Beats Charley Keller Navy Lt.
