Derby Contenders Rise After Bahamas Stakes Run
The Derby picture centers on Sir Gaylord Aidan and Crimson Satan. Sir Gaylord tops the trio after beating Aidan and Crimson Satan in the Bahamas Stakes at Hialeah clocking seven furlongs in 1:22. The Derby distance is a mile and a quarter and Crimson Satan started slowly, so the result may not predict the Derby outcome. A vivid note on other sports and features follows, including local college basketball predictions from 1961 and a humorous column about Jimmy Durante material.

Why Contract Bridge got its name from Bridge Whist

When bidding and scoring changed to reward contracts, games and slams, the name shifted to Contract Bridge, with Auction Bridge and later Contract Bridge common in practice. The discussion also covers game variants and rules about Panguingue, side stacks, and joker use.
