flesh. Shut Out can run Ho proved it ofte nenough before hi* ever came up to the Belmont. But he lacks one thing. That Is popula- appeal. The reason, the public jus' doesn't cotton to Shut Out. Nor do the experts. So today instead of writing that the |7OO Al* sal> has tucked the crown away in the family safe, they are penning pieces declaring the title won't be decided until the fIS.bOO Dwyer Stakes this month or, more prole ably, th** Arlington ('lassie on July In this they are completely correel or tis completely correct as it is possible for any expert to 4re. Shut Out has two firsts and a fifth for his appearances in the races which comprise the triple crown. Alsab has one first and two seconds. Obviously, neither has a clean claim at this stage. Another rubber match must still he run. It is true that into ev< ry life some rain must fall, but in the past few seasons the A. of T. E and T. L. K. members—and that mean* us, too, chums have Ireen soaked for far more than their Just share. For the glamor hordes simply won’t heed the notices author- . *-d Dy the press box poets. They | Just don't give a hang In 193 X the appointed great was Dauber. He ran second in tne Derby. won th*- Preakness th* u -Irlcw the Belmont at an odds-on price. Tin* upshot of this was that Stagehand. who didn't run in any of the big -three, was named champ. A year later. Johnstown was ’he season's fairest flower. He wan both the Derby und Belmont, but then lost the Preakness and title to Challedon. In 1940 the nomination wetrt to , Bnnele* h. Words pract'a.tlly fail! I me as I think of this. For with i every piece of silver plat** In Ken- ’ | tu« ky on bis back, Bitnelech lost i I the Derby, came back to win the! I next two legs of thee rown. but was I I>**aten in the Withers und the (lassie By mid-summer he was lame. Skip a year for Wiiiriaway. who reformed on Derby Eve, and j and we are up to date. This year, as if you need to be told, the rebel is Alwab. He rtarted the season as a second Man O'War, only better, and then dropped away faster than the Phillies. Comes the Preakness and he wins. So he promptly Is reinstated in tile select circles Just in time to double-cross all hands again. What he will do from here on is a question. You provide the answer. The simple fact of his moat recent defeat Is that he was beaten ■by a better horse. Shut Uut was ( locked in 2:29 1-5, or the second fastest time recorded since the Del* mont Stake distance was lengthed to a mile and a half. That isn't great time, but It is very good. Furthermore. Alsab was beaten In the stretch- where he was rated invinciple even by the experts who! didn't like him. Both title claimants — and now they are the only title claimants - are eligible for the Dwy.-r and the Classic. Alsab's handlers claim he needs lots of work and he may start In other races before those two 1 !. W-V.T, will -be reserved exclusively for the big ones. After Saturday’s race I'm convinced of one thing Alsab is no standout You might even say he is no shut out. He has won only two of 12 starts this year Maybe it is his fault; maybe the blame rests with his owner and trainer. That argument did he fall or wan he pushed? Thia flaring all over again -but If you'll pardon me. this Is where I came in. o Generating of electric power in 1940 required the use of 53,400,000 j tons of bituminous coal, as com-' pared with 4< 300.000 ions ( onsum- i ed during 1939.

Invasion Coast Is Raided By British — 1 Bad Weather Grounds Long Range Bombers Imndoti. June X H'PI- Fighter j and coastal command planes took the place of long range bombers, grounded l»y bad weather, in widespread punishing raids over German occupied teriory along a 400-mile stretch of the invasion coast during the night. Fighters fiercely atlackid airdromes in Holland and northern Fiance and attacked other key targets while coastal command planes kept up a new drive against enemy shipping.

But the hope proved false, unJ the Germans apparently were Just being careful when planes were detected over France and Holland. Four German planes boml*ed a town on the southwest coast last night and machine gunned streets. Naval units joined in the offcoast offensive yesterday by fighting off a greatly superior German naval formation including 'wo mo-1 tor torpedo bouts.
