THE MICHIGAN DAILY TF olverine Baseball Tea -w r T ' I. IN THIS CORNER .. By MEL FINEBERG ' Horse Sense. .'. THE SUBJECT of horses comes up almost daily in our lives. Either someone is saying "that's a horse of a different color" or "that's a horse on you" or just plain "my wife nags me." But each year, as spring wends its weary way into summer, the genus equus takes on a special sig- nificance-the Kentucky Derby raises its snout. No one has ever, more than twice daily that is, accused us of dodging either a divorcee or a debateable issue - particularly the former. But Derby dope, 1940 variety, will be discussed more fully in a later column; this one will be devoted to Professor Cor- ner--on the intimate inside. If you can't answer any of these questions, run, don't walk, to your nearest drug store and buy Vol. III of Aristotle's Metaphysics. 1. When a railbird says "a horse has been declared" does that gentleman mean he told customs officials he was importing the animal? If not, what? 2. Is a "maiden race" one in which six girls run and the winner marries Col. Matt Winn? If not, what? 3. A "sweepstakes" is a race where- in the winner wins all the other horses. If not, what? 4. A "claiming" race is one where- in every owner claims his horse can win and after the race claims he should have won. If not, what? 5. An "overnight" race is one which starts at 11 p.m. and ends early the next morning. If not, what? 6. What horse won the first Ken- tucky Derby? Wrinkle -free Inside Ease I Ago "4 7. In what year? 8. What horse won the 1939 Derby? Who was second and third? 9. Has any jockey ever ridden four Derby winners? 10. The Derby distance is now a mile and a quarter. Was it ever thus? More?\ Less? 11. The correct Louisville pro- nunciation of "Derby" is like Al Smith's hat or like the English lord's. 12. A filly (female for horse) has never won the Derby. Of course, we could continue for an interminable length of time with these questions but we don't think you can answer half of them. Allot eight for each question and a score of 75 or over puts you in the upper brackets, 50 or over in the middle and un- der 50 in our class, Here are the answers: 1. Declared means "scratched"- any resemblance to fleas is purely coincidental. 2. A maiden race is one in which the entered horses, have never, in any country, won a race on the "flat." Match races and private sweepstakes are excluded, however. 3. A sweepstakes is a race publicly declared open to all complying with its conditions, to be fulfilled before a given time. 4. A claiming race is one in which every horse running therein may be claimed by owners who have started a horse at that meeting. 5. An overnight race is one for which entries close on the day pre- ceding. 6. Aristides. 7. 1875, 8. Johnstown, Challedon andi Heather Broom in that order. 9. No. Isaac Murphy and Earl Sande each had a leg up on three. 10. It was a mile-and-a-half from 1875 to 1895.. 11. Al Smith wins this time. 12. Regret won in 1915. MAJOR LEAGUE RESULTS National League Pittsburgh 3, Chicago 2 Brooklyn 8, Boston 3 New York 1, Philadelphia 0 American League Philadelphia 3, New York 0 Boston 7, Washington 2 Upset Ypsi Sluggers Pound Barry; Ruehle. Stars Home Run By Heffernan Helps Normal Defeat Favored Varsity Niie (Continued from Page 1) and Dennis walked. Walt Siera bunt- ed to Ruehle whose throw to third was too late to catch Grady, and the bases were loaded. At this point catcher George Harms let one of Barry's pitches elude him, Grady scoring. Barry, who didn't appear to have his usual stuff yesterday, recovered sufficieitiy to fan the next two batters, but Joe Borovich walloped a line single to center and two more runs were in. Oxley followed with another hit to center field and Heffernan with his second hit of the day to make the score, 5-1. Barry forced Shada to pop out and retired for the afternoon. Mickey Stoddard took over the mound duties next and was a bit more successful. Mickey was touched for two hits and an unearned run in the three innings he worked. Lyle Bond followed Stoddard and turned in two scoreless innings, while Tom- my Netherton, Colorado senior mak- ing his first appearance in the Var- sity lineup, yielded the final Normal run in the ninth. In the meantime, Michigan had scored once in the fifth on a two- bagger by Steppon and a single by Trosko, and again in the seventh when Bud Chamberlain singled and Oxley muffed Ruehle's long fly to left field. George Ruehle's batting appeared to be the only bright spot in the Wolverine defeat. The blonde first- baseman, who hadn't been doing so well at the plate previously, banged out three singles and a double to lead the batters for the day. Country Cousins???
