Ky., April 23 OLE) Remember the nursery rhyme about the 10 little Indians wha sat in a. line until one fell away and then there were nine? If you do, don't whistle it within earshot of Honest Ben Jones, the head man at Warren Wright's Calumet farm, or he is apt to dent your skull with the nearest axe. It seems that two months ago there were eight little Calumet Kentucky derby eligibles standing stand-ing in a line. Well, one dropped off and then there were seven. Then another one went bad and there were six. To keep this piece to reasonable length I'll state at this point that to date they've all dropped away and now there is none. The vagaries of the turf were never more vividly highlighted. Last year Jones had only one thoroughbred who was eligible for the derby. His name was Whirl-away Whirl-away and his disposition was wild, wonderful and completely whacky. But Whirlaway suddenly turned straight. He won the derby and he set an amazing track record in doing it. . This year Jones started with eight glittering prospects. In order of ability, they were Sun Again, Some Chance, Col. Terry, Wis-bone, Wis-bone, Mar-Kell, Jaratheen, Yukon and Early 'n Smart. As juveniles, Sun Again won the Arlington Futurity Fu-turity and Some Chance the Belmont. Bel-mont. They were some shucks, really. Now, nine days from the big show at Louisville, the husky Kansan doubts that Calumet's devil red and blue Silkfci will -even reach the post. At the. moment there is only the barest . chance that. Sun Again can be readied for the derby. The' others have been written off the books as mere might-have-beens, j The fates have been , cruel to Jones and Wright this year. ! Just how cruel nobody Realises, until he has seen - Calumet! farm. Not until he has walked through the vastness of its blue grass pastures, pas-tures, gazed at its score of Indigo blooded brood . mares and been awed by its imperious stallions can be known just how quickly a man's duck can turn. Calumet is a fabulous and priceless institution dedicated to raising horses who can win races like the derby and the -Preakness. Here money means nothing. It Is merely something to be used in achieving a goal. Every man and every blade of grass on the farm's 1,300 acres is devoted to fine thoroughbreds. The eight horses Wright and Jones nominated for the derby this year were the cream of some 60 youngsters foaled in 1039. AH' 60 were produced from the best blood and were given the best care In the world. Now, not even one of them has proven good or fit enough to be sent into Col. -Matt Win's classic next week. , .Indirectly, Pearl Harbor is the incident which -turned Calumet's luck. Jones took S3 horses to Santa Anita last November, had them .ready for a -meeting sched Paraie i rm Champ Back J f Events Calumet May Be Sans Kentucky Derby Entry uled to open around Christmas, then was forced to ease them up, ship them home and begin their training all over again. The wear and tear proved too much. ; The closing of . Santa Anita under army orders cost Calumet its chance at both- the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap and $50,000 derby and also its chance to have at least one horse full of frisk and vinegar by Kentucky -derby post time. It . can't be helped, of course, but it goes to show that a Kentucky derby winner is something money can't buy.' Yet," Jones said, "you never give up hope, if Sun Again doesn't run well in the derby trial next Tuesday he'll just stay t in his barn when the rest of them go out and try to do what Whiralaway did last year. But, hell, you got to expect ex-pect them things once in a while. I'm already looking ahead to the next Kentucky derby. I've a good horse for it, too." - -i The name is, Ocean Wave. i The Baseball . -Mm . I .vVyV -Sl i -X-Nss. AMERICAN LEAGUE ' W. L. Pet.

Well, Mr. Gordon is doing all right for himself again. He's leading the American league with an average of,.. 467 and in the field he is Mr. Impregnable Im-pregnable himself. Gordon's fielding field-ing was a thing of beauty yesterday yester-day as he handled 11 chances cleany in the Yankee's 11 to 5 triumph over - the , pathetic Ath-etics. Ath-etics. - ' -r- When Gordon raced to the i left of second, scooped up Bob Johnson's John-son's roller which was headed into center for a base-hit and1 tossed the Philadelphia outfielder out at first, Al Schacht, the baseball clown who was sitting in the press box, remarked: "There, gentlemen, is the greatest second baseman I ever laid eyes on and I've seen some pretty fair second Backers in my time LaJoie, Frisch, Eddie Collins, Tony Lazzeri to mention a few. But Gordon can do things none of the others could." Yesterday Gordon handled eight assists, .three putouts and was the pivot man on two double plays besides be-sides starting another one. In addition he made three hits, driving driv-ing in three runs to boost his average 44 points. Jolting Joe DiMaggio also had a day for himself yesterday, smacking out his second homer and two triples as the Yanks cudgeled Beckman and Fowler for 13 hits. The Boston Red Sox also had on their slugging clothes, hammering ham-mering out a 13-4 triumph over Washington, and remained deadlocked dead-locked with the Yanks for the American league lead. T. W .O. Judd, the Red Sox 32-year old Canadian rookie southpaw, hung up his first victory, holding the Senators to nine hits. Jimmy Foxx was out of the Red Sox lineup with sinus trouble. Cleveland rattled 6ff its fourth straight victory when Vernon Kennedy Ken-nedy let the Browns down with five hits for a 3-2 decision. Kennedy Ken-nedy gave up only five hits and stopped St. Louis cold in the ninth after the Browns had filled the bases with none out..

Upon application of Pleasant Grove for a place in the league, Kenneth E. Weight, Provo high principal and J president of the U.S.H.S.A.A., was making final arrangements with the various schools today for the Vikings' entry en-try into the circuit. Pleasant Grove's entry necessitates necessi-tates shifting of the schedule. The Provo-B.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, April 23 E Sentiment increased today to-day for postponement of the Pan-American Pan-American games until after the war unless the United States re, considers its withdrawal. President Paysee Reyes of the Uruguayan Olympic committee indicated that his organization "reluctantly" would move for such a postponement unless the United States re-enters. The games are to be held in Buenos Aires in November. No-vember. "I do not need to reiterate the necessity for United States participation par-ticipation in the Pan-American games so that they will have Pan-American Pan-American character," he said. "Non-participation of the. United States implies a similar desertion by the "Caribbean nations so the games would be only South American. Amer-ican. It should be remembered that the games are not only a muscular display but also are a phase in the great work of linking link-ing the nations of the western hemisphere closer in this dramatic dra-matic hour."
