SECOND SECTION ■ ■ ■ V 11 ' ' ' -■■ -■ CONCORD, N. C., FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927 l Record Crowd is Predicted For Kentucky Derby This Year Louisville, K;v„ May 13.—(INS) — "They'r?. off" is the cry that will bring thousamls to their feet Saturday at the running of America’s foremost test of equine speed and endurance, the historic Kentucky Derby, where will 'be assembled the sporting blood ’ of all the country. The Kentiick Derby; beautiful Churchill Downs; gayly gowned wo men and satin-coated, blooded horses, t ami the traditions of the race, all these ,go to make up the most celebrated j. ; sporting event in America, a rnoe 1 which even those paying much higher ■ stakes cannot equal for iwpularity. While many of the blue-veined in American horsedom have not been . | conditioned by May and therefore can j not be entered, the race always sees In brilliant field assembled. And, just ; for the sake of “Lady Luck,” weather | eyes should be peelgd on Black Pan j ther this year. In 11*2-1 Black Gold ; I thundered down the home strech to | V ! sweep the Held; in 1925 Flying Ebony ] was the regal wearer of he horseshoe. Y j Last year the reign of darkness was i broken by Bubbling Over, but this year another dark contender looms. The Belmont stakes, the Preakueas, at Pimlico, Saratoga, with its clean limbed, flashy 3-year-olds, all have a jj strong following, jjt af«jr all due praise to them and the cream of the equine world which thfy assemble, the ‘Kentucky Derby still towers mnjesti ' cally over them. And for winning a race, there is not a jocky in the coun try that would not rather sit the win ner of the fterb.v than any other race in his country, regardless of richer purses. ' And Why? The Debry is run with out the slightest odor of suspicion be ing attached to it. There is tradition with a cnpital "T” behind it, there is fhe-dnsurpassed beauty of historic Churchill Dow as the scene for it, and there is the meaning which the state of Kentucky, as a breeding place for dainty, blue-blooded horses, has for all lovers of the “sport of Kings." Although racing is looked down upon by some, the Derby rises above all prejudice. , Baseball, football, other sports, all have their devotees and follow-era, yet when it comes to the wild, thunderous Carolina-Virginia Game Today. Chapel Hill, May 13.—(INS)—An ancient diamond feud that was born -In 1801 will break out anew her today t When the University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia clash in fheir annual baseball contest here.

Class, once described by a follower of pure bred' horses as “that intangible quality in a human or animal's make-up that makes him keep going when his legs are through, when his, wind is spent, and his strength a thing of the past." And that spells the difference in a champion and a near-champion, not only in the rnce track of horsedom. but on the raefe track of Life. Due to the Derby being run in Hay, few years have seen its winners re turned' the 'first horse in America for the year. Its fact, most of the time, the Derby winner has come to the front with his name blazoned across newspapers throughout the country as the winner of ‘ the Churchill Downs classic, and then dropped plumet-like' into obscurity. I sink back over .the record and it will be seen that for .the last nine years, the winner of the Derby lias been the outstanding 3-year old on but three occasions. • j , Exterminator continued not o(ily to tread the path of glory after win ning the Derby in 1918, but for suc ceeding years. Sir Barton, J. K. L. •Boss stable entry, led the Derby field and was the leading 3-year-old in 1919. In 192r> Zev showed his heels in the Detdiy nntt hmig ttp othet notable victories. j But regardless of data, the Derby is the Derby. And this year the as sembled thousands will see one of the flashiest Helds in its history. In fact, such is the class of the 1927 entries, the horse that scampers home first ill this year's race, may continue to lead for the remainder of 1927.

May 13. —A 16- yenr-old boy—the youngest prisoner ever sentenced to die in the electric chair and one of the youngest slayers to receive the death penality in the country—is in Ohio penitentiary here, awaiting the' execution of a death sentence scheduled for August 11. He is Floyd 'Hewitt, a tall, gang ling, overgrown country youth, con demned for one of the most brutal double slnyings in the nation’s crimi nal annals. Hewitt lived in a small village, Con lieaut, in Northern Ohio, with his mother, who was separatee! from his father. Across the road from his mother’s home lived his two victims. ' Mrs. Celia Brown, 30, and her little son, Fred Brown, Jr., the wife and only child, respectively, of a railroad brukeman. Slapped By Woman. The Brown family had a radio, and ns Floyd, the neighbor boy was exces sively fond of music, he frequently spent his evenings at their home, listening to concerts and ‘•'keeping company" with Mrs. Brown, who was nervous because her husband worked late-at nighu sfift her »>wl the baby alone fn their little'cottage. < )ne night last February, according to a confession which Hewitt gave soon after his arrest, lie sat on a sofa with Mrs. . Brown, listening to the music, while the child played on. the floor of the living room. “I listened to. the music, until it kind of made me drunk —crazy with —!-!—iU'ili-!! l-"f 1 L'J— i ■ ■ I .mmmmm .mmuif, .
