TOP FLIGHT AND
 FARENO CHOICE
 FOR $7O,OOORACE
Fine Horses Considered Eligible to Cop Worlds
 Richest Stake for Three
 Year Olds

Arlington Park, III, July 1e- ,(UP)-The outstanding S-year-olds in training lined up to-day for the $70,O00 added Arlington classic be- fore q crowd expected to reach 30,00O.
 ty, little lilly, and Faireno, William Woodward's colt with the Belmont, Shevlin and Dwyer stakes to his credit, were joint favoriteg for the worlds richest 3-year old race. Each was quoted S-2 in the morn ing line.
 Thirteen were named overnight to start in the mile and a quarter race, but scratches we're expected to reduce the field to 10 or II. Big Brand, Saxerac and Sunmelus were considered doubtful starters.
 <. Star Quintet
 Indications were the race would develop into a five.cornered fight between Top Flight, Faireno, Gus to, Stepenfetchit and Osculator. Top Flight. unbeaten 2-year old champion last year, has won three consecutive races since she was beaten in her first Swear old start HI the WOU0 uloIuOE161 ds JHut8ACs4 in April.
 Faireno has won three of his six starts this season, finished sec ond once and tlnplaced twice. Gus to. American derby winner, trailed Equipoise, champion of the older division, in the Arlington gold cup last Saturday. Osculator has won only one race this year but has been a contender every time. Step enfetchit recently won the L.atonia derby. ' Col B. R.>Bradley's Bubble Up, the Shandon farms Evergold, and Dr J. F. Adams Rehoboth were tabbed dark horses. Bubble Up has shown rapid improvement in re- cent races, and Col Bradley, who won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness with Burgoo King, will try to win his third big race of the year with this outsider.
 Sande Wanted
 Evergold finished eighth in his last start, but before that beai Stepenfetchit and other good 3. year olds in a mile race at Arling. ton. Dr Adams thinks so much oi
 Rehoboth's chances that he at tempted unsuccessfully to get Ear Sande, veteran jockey. to come west from New York and ride. r. A victory for Top Flight will ell. evate the Whitney lilly to second
 place among the turf's money win.
 ners. Top Flight now has $20O,92s and a good chance to tlireater
 Sun Beau's mark of $37s.744.

 Trouble Monday Night He Thinks

Jack Kid Berg, the English lightweight has respect for only one of the many fighters he has met in the ring. That man is Billy Petrolle, whom he may meet again in the near future, everything con- tineent on Berg's fifteen round bout with Kid Chocolate, which takes place in the new Madison Square Garden Bowl In Long Island City next Monday night and the result of the fight between Tony Canzonefi and Petrolle to be held in the Bowl on August 8.
 Berg, a smart ringster is not under-estimating the ability of Kid Chocolate. He praises him highly. but when he was asked the other day what his hardest fight was and who hit him the hardest, Billy Petrolle's name was the answer to both questions.
 BiIly's Bad News
 As for Chocolate, Berg said that he knew his style, but did not hold him in the high respect that he does the Fargo Express. He says Chocolate is probably one of the best boxers in the world to-day, but that boxers have proved easy for him in the past; easier in fact, than the sluggers, who rip and tear every second of the way.
 The Briton is never long engaged in his afternoon gymnasium stunts, just doing enough work of that sort to sharpen his eye and get ting the timing of his punches down. It's roadwork that he says is the best conditioner. That he engages in with g vim every day down at St Albans, I. |, where he

 "This conditioning will permit me to carry on further than 80 per cent of the present day fighters, who don't like the road and rely chiefly on rope-skipping to build up their staying powers. Kid Chocolate will find that my many hard fights of the past have not slowed me down and that he will find me going at as fast a clip in the fifteenth round, if the fight goes that far. as I will go in the early rounds"
 Berg, indeed, shows signs of the fina condition in which he reports himself. His trainer, Ray Arcel. is enthusiastic too, declaring that Berg hasn't been better since that niRht two years ago when he beat
