Whlrly Unleashes Stretch
Drive To Beat Rounders
By Over Two Lengths.
Br BUI Klnf
Boston. July 16 UP) A
stretch-running flash of light
ning known as Whirlaway today
loomed as the first half-million-dollar
winning prospect in the
history of the turf.
Fresh from his record-smashing
triumph yesterday in the Massa
chusetts $50,000-edded handicap.
Whirly was pointed today Dy his
trainer. Ben Jones, for the $25.-
000-added Arlington handicap at
Chicago's Arlington park on
August 1.
The smashing victory that
Whirlaway. owned by Warren
Wriaht. scored in the Suffolk
Downs feature boosted the
horse's winnings to $454,388
or S16.636 more than the previ
ous top earnings mark, amassed
by Seabiscuit.
Giving every Indication that
he must be considered as one
of the top handicap performers
of all time. Whirly ran a ueia
of six speedy opponents Into
the earth in almost nonchalant
fashion under a smart ride by
George Woolf before a crowd
of almost 33,000.
Trails At Start
New Englanders, seeing "Mr.
Bigtall" for the first time, still
were pop-eyed today at the blaze
of speed the champion turned on
as he headed for the wire to win
by about two and a half lengths
over the Valdina Farms' Irish
bred rounders.
Whirly broke well and then
gave his supporters, who had
backed him down to even
money, a taste of the Jitters
by trailing the field by a good
10 lengths for at least half the
Journey.
Then Woolf gava him the nod
and he showed why he rates
among the all-time greats. With
one burst he jumped up to
fourth place and in another mo
ment he was out in from.
He roared down the stretch
like a runaway locomotive and
flashed across the wire in
1:48 1-5 to crack the track rec
ord for the mile and one-eighth
distance, previously held by War
Belie, by two-fifths of a second.
Whirlaway paid $4, $3 and
$2.20, Rounders $6 60 and $3.80,
and Mrs. Parker Coming's At
tention, which finished third,
$3.40.

Five Errors Yanks Boost
Lead by Blanking Tribe,
By Judson Bailey
Associated Press Sports Writer
Bad blood has been flowing
between the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Chicago Cuba for two or
mora years In one of the most
vicious feuds in baseball annals
and the situation is getting
stormier.
Yesterday the boys were so
busy throwing bean balls at
each other they almost forgot
the ball game, but the Dodgers,
operating in their element, cap
tured a 10-3 verdict from the
confused Cubs, who made five
errors and used five pitchers to
give 13 hits.
This encounter dwarfed other
developments of the day in the
major leagues, although Chet
Laabs of the St. Louis Browns,
currently on a batting spree, at
tracted attention at Philadelphia
by driving in five runs as the
Browns beat the Athletics, 7-4
in a night game. He hit a homer
his 13th of the year, with the
bases loaded in the second in
ning and then in the third frame
lined to the corner of center
field in Shibe park and was
thrown out at the plate trying
to get four bases on it
Four-Hitter
The New York Yankees ex
tended their American league
lead to 6'j games by scoring
their lecond straight shutout,
4-0, against the Cleveland In
diana on the four-hit hurling of
Atley Donald.
The Boston Red Sox split
with the Chicago White Sox.
Tex Hudhson beat unlucky Ed
Smith in the opener, 10-1, for
Smith's 15th setback. Then the
Chlsox took the nightcap, 11-6,
Although Ted Williams hit his
19th homer.
Washington nosed out the De
troit Tigers, 4-3, in 11 innings
in a night game.
Rip Sewell pitched six-hit ball
and Vince DiMaggio hit a three-
run double to spark Pittsburgh
to a 6-2 triumph over the New
York Giants. The St. Louis Car
dinals swept a doubleheader
from the Phils, 7-3 and 9-4.
Cincinnati and the Boston
Braves divided their double bill,
with Bucky Walters winning the
opener for the Reds, 6-2, on five
hit pitching and Manny Salvo
retaliating with a seven-hit per
formance as the Braves bagged
the second game, 7-2, with Clyde
Kluttz batting in three runs
with a double.
