 .Ncw Work, June 6--Whirlaway practically ran himself out of g. ycar-old competition, when, on the heels Of his sensational stretch runs in the Kentucky Derby and The Preakness, the little dark chestnut left Midland and other older horses staggering behind him at Belmont Park.
 The result is that aS few as three may oppose him in the 73rd running of the classic 960000 Belmont Stakes at the fashionable Hampstead Turn- pike grounds, June z.
 Mrs. Parker Corning's Attention and the Wheatlcy'B Stables Bold friShman may swell the field 10 q half dozen, but they arc doubtful.
 Bold frishman, which showed Stretch-running ability in the Pim- lIco Futurity last November, trav- eied a mile and a quarter in 2:08 at Aqueduct recently, but Trainer Jim Fitzqinmons admits that the mile and a half Of the Belmont Stakes, with such as Whiriaway the one 10 beat. IS an ambitious placing for the first start Of the son Of Sir dallahod IIr-Erin since the colt came out of the Survivor with a cough.

 J. r. BycrB Jr.'s Robert Morris is fancied by 2 few because he collared King Cole and dreyilie at the head Of the stretch and coppcd the mile and q furloung Peter Pan Handicap by six lengths, which just as well could have been eight, in 1:40.
 Itabo won his only two starts this year-at six furlongs in 1:l0 4-S and at seven ~eighths. His chance would improve in mud. He has worked very well ifl goo.

 JONES WILL KEEP
 WIIIRLAWAY BUSY
 Cornelius Vanderbilt WhitncyS Yankee Chance, son Of Peace Chance, q Belmont Stakes winner has done nothing outstanding.
 WhirlaWay Is named for the shcyIin at Aqueduct, June Il; the Dwyer Oil the same strip, June 2I and the Brooklyn Handicap. for g. ycar-cids and older horses, June 28
 But Ben Jones is not anxious to have his star meet older horses for the present, 20 the odds arc that WhiriaWay will be in Chicago when the Brooklyn Handicap is staged at Aqucduct.

 Trainer Jones will keep Whlrla. way busy without oyer-racirg him
