1 GRAINGER MEMORIAL ! J LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 22.— j Churchill Downs, Kentuckys popular Derby course, concludes its annual spring meeting of nineteen days tomorrow i when a sparkling program, featuring the nineteenth 0,000 ♦ added Grainger Memorial Handicap J will be run. This coveted distance | fixture is to test again Gallant Knight, which ran in worlds record J time here Derby Day; Mike Hall, win-! ner of the Agua Caliente Handicap and more than 00,000 in purse I money; the sturdy Bargello, winner J of the Clark Handicap on the open-J day of the meeting; Lady Broadcast, Playtime, Royal Julian, Jimmy Moran • and Dixie Lad. Not unlikely they contest over a muddy or slow iwill track and, while adding uncertainly to the outcome, the unfavorable going probably will preserve Twenty Grands track record for the distance, i ! established in winning the Kentucky t Derby a week ago, for a year at least. Grainger has attractive sup- I SThe port and under clear skies the finale , should compare with the most suc-| cessful in recent years.
