I 1 s 1 1 First Prize Will Not Start LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 1.— Al- though he is listed in the entries for the Kentucky Derby, First Prize, owned by Ellwood B. Johnston of Los Angeles, will not be among the starters. Authority for this statement is the owner himself. Johnston made this statement after a conference with his trainer, Jimmy Wallace. They realize their horse is not of Derby caliber and to run him in the race probably would do the three-year-old more harm than good.
