WAR ADMIRAL NOW 4 TO 1 Glen Riddle Farm Colt Co-Favorite With Pompoon in Kentucky Derby Future Book. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 26. J. H. Louch-heims Pompoon and Glen Riddle Stables War Admiral are equal choices for the Kentucky Derby, to be run May 8 at Churchill Downs, Louisville. After studying the charts of the Chesapeake Stakes, Stuyvesant Handicap and other events in which candidates for the Blue Grass classic were engaged last Saturday, and digesting reports of dockers, Frank Shannon, New York commissioner, quoted each colt at 4 to 1. Pompoons price was unchanged, while War Admirals was reduced from 6 to 1 because of his impressive victory in the Chesapeake Stakes at Havre de Grace. Bracketed at 8 to 1 are Milky Way Farms Reaping Reward and E. R. Bradleys Brooklyn, the price on the former receding from 6 to 1. Other marked changes in Shannons line are Heelfly, now 60 to 1, instead of 100 to 1; Maedic, 30 to 1; Military, 15 to 1; Mosawtre, 40 to 1; Sceneshifter, 15 to 1; White Tie, 30 to 1; Billionaire, 30 to 1; Black Look, 40 to 1; Charing Cross, 60 to 1; Fairy Hill, 40 to 1; Gerald, 60 to 1, and Sir Damion, 60 to 1.
