Racing Season ‘Ended’ for SUNDRY CIRCUS Millions After Preakness BAN READY FOR

other, is the Kentucky Derby. There are plenty of other races that the inveterate race follower watches just as closely. The Belmont is one of them. Arlington is another. But there are millions who confine their interest to the Derby and the Preakness. They get down a one-buck bet on each of these big ones and that’s their racing for the year The Preakness this year was the Derby over again except for two | things: Lawrin wasn't in it and the | track was fetlock deep in mud. But otherwise it was just the same. Dauber waited for the stretch before making his bid. Then he passed | Menow and Fighting Fox, the early leaders. This time there was no| Lawrin to catch and Dauber won going away. The time of 1:594-5 for the mile and three-sixteenths was good considering the going.

Cravat Scores Upset

The battle for the place was a wow. Cravat broke last, was last the first time past the judges, and still last in the backstretch. Henry McLemore described Cravat at this| point, 11 lengths back of the leader, as a “four-legged mudpie.” Jockey Jackie Westrope whacked Cravat | just once and he picked up every | horse but Dauber to take the place from Menow in a photo finish. Dauber should be an odds-on favorite for the Belmont Stakes in June. Lawrin was not nominated

of course,

It was a busy sports week-end | with lots of rowing, golf and motor- | boating. Harvard's varsity eight beat | Cornell, with Syracuse and M. I. T.! trailing in the quadrangular re- | gatta at Cambridge. Penn beat] Princeton and Columbia at Princeton. | Jimmy Hines retained his Metro- | politan Open Golf championship, | passing National Champion Ralph | Guldahl and beating off a late bid by Sammy Snead. Hines’ winning 287 was just one stroke off the Fresh Meadow course record set by Sara- | zen in winning the open in 1932.

Golf Champion Loses

The National Women's Golf |

Champion was defeated Saturday when Marion Miley beat Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page, 1 up, in the final of the Southern Golf Cham- | pionship at Birmingham. Ted Roberts, 40-year-old New York boathouse proprietor, won the annual Albany-New York outboard motorboat race yesterday. It was Roberts’ first victory in nine tries and he won in the roughest weather in the history of the race. Marshall | Eldredge, defending champion, was | seventh. |

Bowling

Winning 71 and losing 31 for a percentage of 696, the Electric Shop | team was first today in the final | team standings of the New York | Central Bowling League. The Locomotive Shop was second | with a 676 percentage and the Gen- | eral Superintendents team scored a | 667 season average for third. Individual honors went to R. E. Hughes on a 194 average. {
