NEW YORK, July 1.—The fabulous Whirlaway has passed Sun Beau’s money. earnings and is charging at Seabiscuit for an all-

time record and the way he is going he can scarcely miss. And when Iw does it you'll want to fix the figures firmly in mem-. ory because that's just what it will be; an all-time record. Greater champions may come along in the future and win more races but the conditions will be less inviting, Jess opulent. For the truth is we may be seeing the last of the golden, big purse era in racing, Everything is | Drss oe or getting ready for enforced changes and it doesn’t seem possible the economic structure of racing won't change, too. That would mean a drastic revision downward in the size of purses, the end of the $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 prizes.

: Pure Luxuries Gone

We suppose there is a way to. justify the enormous purses. Everybody knows it takes a generous helping of sugar to maintain racing farms and stables and it isn’t often that even the most successful campaigner breaks even gover a season's run. But we imagine you've seen the last of these show places. Even the very wealthy have begun to cut their cloth accordingly. Pure luxuries are on the way out. We saw evidence of that when we visited Lexington’s breeding country last spring. Everybody was beginning to economize. Most of the big purses were invented by promoters to attract attention to their racing, and, of course, to beguile the horseman, Only the naive ever suspected that, the big:purses guaranteed a championship fleld; more often than not the contrary was true. We don’t recall that a really first class horse ever won the Coffroth: $100,000 added. Even the Kens tucky derby has come. up with some mediocre winners and. the derby is a promoter’s race; if it isn’t now it started out that way.

” » . Sharper Economies

If we create the impression we are against big purses as. some= thing inimical to the best inters ests of the turf, please skip it. What we are trying . to suggest is that very probably you ‘have seen ‘the ‘last of them for some time, -maybe for all time. War= “time demands on track operators will become more pressing before: 4,1 it becomes less; this will necessi“tate shaper economies. It -may even come to pass that the operators will get together and. agree on a maximum purse; say some= “thing in the vicinity of $28,000. And so it is we find Whirlaway in all likelihood rounding out an era; he may be the last hig horse to get caviar for his timothy. It is only fair to some of the big horses of. the past to point out that Mr. Long Tail has had a \ very rich menu to choose from. Of course, he ran into a deep sefback when the Santa Anita $100,« 000 was blacked out last winter, but generally speaking he’s had few bad breaks. Sun Beay was the cash register champion for years; until the Biscuit passed him, to be exact. But both the Biscuit and Whirlaway had much richer pickings than W. 8. Kilmer's star. Tam always makes a difference.

82 8 = Whirly Can't Miss

In the last war some big races were cancelled out altogether: others were run for reduced purses. Even in the more recent depression years the tracks cut

sharply. Isabel Dodge Sloan's | i h

“JOE WILLIAMS SAYS—

Cavalcade was a casualty; he won all the big ones that year, most all of ’em anyway, yet his earnings were comparatively ‘small. Cavalcade surely rates much higher than his standing—and keep in mind a lot of horses are retired early. Man O° War, for instance, never raced after three. This is Whirlaway’s fourth year of age and his last in competition. Owner Warren Wright intends to turn him out once he’s gained his objective, which is the Biscuit's title. We don’t see how he can miss, and to repeat, we don’t see how anything’s ever going to take it away from him, the changing world being what it is.

Wyatt Holds Own Theories

By HARRY GRAYSON tal Times Sp Writer . NEW YORK, July ohn Whit-

low Wyatt credits the late Allan Sutton Sothoron with giving him his tardy start as. a standout slinger. Whit Wyatt was a discouraged veteran of 29 when he was talked into reporting to the Milwaukee club managed by Al Sothoron in 1938. Cleveland, the third American league club with which he had a trial, sent the Georgia planter to the Brewers in the Ken Keltner deal. Sothoron, old American league pitcher, first built Wyatt's confidence.

Developed Slow Curve

“You're a great pitcher,” he told Brooklyn's big right-hander. “I'm going to work you every fourth day regardless of the turns of the others.” “Sothoron helped me develop a slow curve as a change of pace,” says Wyatt, “and this helped me stop‘left-handed hitters. I developed a slider and under Sothoron’s handling ‘I developed control. I felt tough out: there in the box as my strikeouts began to multiply ‘and bases-on-balls decreased.” Whit Wyatt's advice te a piteher|C is never to let a batter see too much of his best pitch. If he sees it too much, he is likely to become acquainted with it and’take liberties. Another of his tips is to treat every batter as though the piteher has never seen him before. This keeps a pitcher from getting careless and feeding the hitter a ball with which he is much too familiar.

Gordon, No Longer Careless

Joe Gordon of the Yankees and Joe. Medwick and Mickey Owen of the Dodgers are hitting better for |some reason. They are poking that outside curve into right field.” Joe McCarthy took Gordon aside before the world series. last - fall, told ‘him to quit swinging for home runs and to hit the ball where it happened to be. Until this season, Gordon ranked with the foremost American league striker-outers. He fanned 90 times last trip, So did Harold Clift of

the Browns. Rudy York whiffed on

of several games, and possibly the pennant.

Red Sox Race Along

On the other hand, the Red Sox are racing along under a full head of steam. The twin win over the Senators yesterday gave them a record of five victories in six‘ games and 17 wins in 21 contests. Chief encouragement has been the success of Oscar Judd and Ken Chase. * Judd has won his last four starts—three of them on the road, where Boston always has difficulty in winning. Then Chase checked the Indians at Clevelahd for his second win. Both are southpaws and since five of the Yankees’ recent reverses were at the hands of lefties their performances may have a significant bearing on the fight for first place. The Red Sox cut a full game off the Yankee lead yesterday by beating Washington, 9-8 and 5-2. Boston rallied for four runs in the seventh and another in the eighth to win the opener. Tex Hughson won his seventh victory with a six-hitter in the nightcap. Tony Lupien hit a four-bagger with none on in the sixth, Stan Spence and Roy Cullenbine hit homers for Washington in the opener.

A’s Beat Yanks

Herman Besse tossed the A’s to gn 8-5 decision over the Yankees in the first game, but the New Yorkers rallied for three runs in the ninth to win the nightcap, 4-3, for their first victory in four games. Besse yielded four hits and three runs in the first inning but gave up only four more blows thereafter, including a two-run homer by Keller, The A's matched the Yanks’ first-inning attack and kayoed Hank Borowy with another threerun assault in the sixth. AL The Cleveland Indians won their third straight and Jim Bagby checked in with his ninth victory by beating the Chicago White Sox, 3-1, The Indians got only five hits off Ed Smith but pecked away for single runs in the first, .third and sixth, Manager Lou Boudreau got “four for four,” including a homer, double and two singles, all but one figuring in the scoring,
