OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1921. 1 C TEN CENTS l"Behave Yourself" Proves To Be "Dark Horse' In Renewal ot Big Derby 1 1 jif X ( '!, tWins Classic From Field of Twelve Starters Kentucky Owned and Bred Colt Covers One and One Quarter-Mile Ctmrse in 2:011-5." By HARVEY T. WOODRUFF. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leaned Wire. Louisville, Ky., May 7. "Behave Yourself !' , Those words are not an cxclama tory warning, but the name of the winner of the 47th renewal of the Kentucky derby, decided this after noon at Churchill Downs, before a crowd of 50,000 spectators, who ac claimed the victory of a Kentucky owned and Kentucky-bred youngster in a field of 12 starters representing the best 3-year-olds in the whole country. Behave Yourself, a brown colt by Marathan-Miss Ringlets, won by a head from his stable companion, tilack Servant, which acted as pace maker for the entire distance of one and one-quarter miles traversed in 2:04 1-5. The pair ran stride for stride from , the eighth pole, while Prudery, the crack filly of the Whitney stable, which, coupled with Tryster, was public choice at 11 to 10, was a dis tant' third, six lengths behind the leaders. Great Day for Owner. It was a creat dav for owner E R. Bradley, whom we referred to fa miliarly as Ed when there was rac ing in Chicago, where he owned the JUel frado hotel and also soonsored a tailoring establishment on Madi son street. 1 he race itself was worth $38,450 net to the winner with $10,000 to the second horse, and no owner of a derby starter allows his horses to run unbacked and Bradley thought lie had a chance. Two dollar mutuels on the Brad ley pair paid $19.30, $13 and $5.90 and vindicated the tradition that firsts do not win this race, which has been captured only seven out of 47 times by public choices. As showing the - uncertainty of races, however, Black Serrant was more fancied than Be have Yourself, both by his owner and the stable jockey. Played Hunch. On Thursday tho writer was ris cussing with Bradley the chances of his entry in a party which included the wife of a Chicagoan prominent in the sporting world. , This lady had induced her husband to play a hunch for her in the winter book to the extent of $10 and stood to win $700 on Behave Yourself. Of course, in the winter book, entries do not go and you must name your horse. Accordingly Mrs. Hunch player wished to know her chances and ex plained her wager to Bradley. He replied: "I think my entry has a chance becau.'t favorites have been beaten before. We will, of course, win 'with either if we can, but I am sorry to tell you that I regard Black Serv ant as "four lengths better than Be have Yourself. It. might happen, however, that the pace would use up the others andv Behave Yourself might come on and win." ' jockey Lyke shared his employer's opinion. He was given the choice of mounts as the premier stable jockey and was told a fee of $5,000 awaited him if a stride the .winner, and a fee of $1,000 if he was on the loser, but the stable won. However, Lyke chose Black Servant. Eddy Dygert To Go ; With Walnut Team Eddy Dygert, well known amateur and semi-pro player, and for the past two years connected with the Mur-phy-Did-Its team, will play at Wal nut,. Ia., this season., Dygert will play at his old position in center field.

City, class C loops, playing under the banner of the Municipal Ama teur Base Ball association. Since the contests i nthfse three circuits were postponed last Sunday, because of "Old Jupiter" interfering, the fans were robbed of the oppor tunity to see a number of real intor esting conflicts, but today's program will more than make up the lost chaiice. Four Teams Tied. Second place honors in the City, class A loop between the Riggs Op tical Co-Drive-It-Yoursclf and the Bowen Furniture Co.-Knights of Columbus warriors arc at stake this afternoon. All four of these teams ' are tied with a .500 percentage and since considerable rivalry exists be tween them two hard-fought contests are onticipatcd. v. Although the Townsend Gun Co. have met their "Waterloo" in the first two games of the season, Man ager Bunny Holland announced last nighf that they will stage a "come back" this afternoon and pull their opponents the North Omaha Boost ers, who are leading the league with a clean slate, down a notch.

North Omaha Booster clash, while Riverview park and .Thirty-second and Dewey avenue will be the battle grounds of the two contests. Interest is also at high pitch in the contests this afternoon in the Ameri con, class B circuit. All of the teams are staging a neck-to-neck race and are fighting hard to cop the flag, so a quartet of interesting battles are expected to take place. The Dold Packing Co., a new team in the field this season who are lead ing the league with two straight victories, are slated to cop the pen nant. They have a "crackerjack" of a team and have an easy time with their opponents thus far. This afternoon the Packers will mix with the Phillip Department Store team, also a South Side aggregation, and it will be south against south. The ' Packers are favorites, but the rooters of the Phillip's claim that their fa vorites will pull the leaders down. First Game at 1:30 Three, game's are on tap in the Gate City loop.
