Golden Miller Wins England Grand National at Aintree
Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller, the favorite, won the 96th Grand National before about 200000 spectators at Aintree. American runner Delaneige, owned by J B Snow, finished second with Thomond, owned by John Hay Whit of New York, third in a field of 80. Golden Miller raced from behind on the final turn at odds of 19 to 2, giving favored backers a long-awaited victory. Delaneige and Thomond II were well supported, and the win adds an American connection as Miss Paget is related to John Hay Whitney and Charles Whitney. Prince Cherry and Sorley Boy dropped out early in the race.

Braves To Use Same Line-Up This Year In National League
The Boston Braves enter the 1934 season with a largely unchanged roster aiming to improve on last year’s fourth-place finish behind the Giants. Key factors are a strong pitching core led by Ben Cantwell and Ed Brandt, solid defense, and manager Bill McKechnie’s leadership. Returnees Bob Brown and Bob Worthington may bolster pitching and hitting as the team rebuilds an offense behind limited top hitters like Wally Berger and Randy Moore.
