Preakness Hairpin Turns Give Whirlaway New Test
Bold Irishman Withdrawn On Account of Fever
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Baltimore, May o-Pimlico's hair pin turns challenge Whirlaway in the $75 1000 The Preakness ct mile and three e-sixteenths ct Pimlico on Saturday.
 Bold 1rishman, which also likes to run in the stretch, is out because of fever but no other horse is likely to be close to Whirlaway If the Calu- met Farm color bearer retains the sensa tional form he flashed in gale loping off with the Kentucky Der- by
 Ben Jones put the Whirlaway which ran wide on the straight and narrow by removing the inside cup of his blinkers and putting Eddie Arcaro on his back.
 Arcaro also will be up in The Preakness.
 Trainer Jones' theory in removing the left cup of the blinkers was that the son of Blenheim II would hug the rail because he could see on that side.
 It worked so well that the aptlyS named whirlaway made no attempt to run wide.
 Arcaro had to pull him out to pass the last two horses-Dispose and Porter's Cap.
 When Arcaro let him go, Whirl- away opened up five lengths just like that.
 He won by eighth lengths in 2:0i 2-6 for the mile and a quarter. the fastest Derby time by two.fifths of Q second.
 His unusually long tail flying be- hind him, Whirlaway positively took off rambling the last quarter in 24 seconds.
 WOULD HAVE DEFEATED TWENTY GRAND BY TWO
 Wandering Whirlaway changed his ways. He ran high, not wide and handsome as straight as c duck flies south. The only way he went out at the turn was out in front.
 Only 6 Man O War could have matched Whirlaway's final charge at Churchill Downs, and Big Red would have had to be up on his toes and wide awake.
 Whirlaway would have beaten Twenty Grand, which established the previous record in 1881, by two lengths. He travelled 43 feet per second on the mile and e quarter trip.
 Whirlaway is c medium. sized dark chestnut with a blazed face. He stands IS hands 3 inches. A hand is { inches.
 His sire, Blenheim II. won the English Derby, and sired Mahmoud, which also captured the event.
 Whirlaway'S dam. Dustwhirl, is by Sweep, which produced Brush- up, dam of War Admiral Thus

MUDDY TRACK
 FOR PREAKNESS IS PREDICTED
Field of Eight or Less With Whirlaway Apt to
 Be Beaten
BY JACK GUENTHER

(United Press Starr C0rrespOndentD
 Baltimore, Md, May 8. - (UP) = It was the same old story today --- probably rain and possibly muddy track for the Preakness.
 For the past four years rain has haunted the favorite in the running of the Preakness and the Blst re- newal of the s5o,0oo stake on satur. day apparently will be no exception. A light but steady rain was falling this morning, meaning . slow or muddy track this afternoon, and, unless the rain Is followed by lots of hot sunshine, osf-footing for tho big race.
 The gloomy forecast shooed en. thusiaSm out of the Calumet farm stable as trainer Ben Jones gave Whirlaway final stiff workout before easing him off for the mile and i-l6 gallop which can ell but assure him the three-year-ol crown of le4i. Although he boasts recognition as . superior Inudder, Whirlaway has been beaten the worst when the going is slippery and soft and Saturday may see him beaten again, despite all he did in the Derby.
 Small Field
 While the weather turned sour, one other factor shaped up in Whirlaway'S favor. A survey of stables on the grounds disclosed that only six opponents are certain to be sent against the horse from the hard boot country and that the eventual field cannot number more than eight. This means he can't easily be blocked.
 Excluding Whirlaway himself, the group now scheduled to enter the gate includes ogden Phipps' King Cole, Coldstream stables Curious Coin, Crispin Oglebay's Ocean Blue, King Ranch,s Dispose, Woodvale Farms Our Boots and c. g. Hows ards Porter's Gap. The first three in the crowd have yet to meet Whirlaway this year while the lat- ter trio chased him home aS Churchill Downs,

Blackstone Valley $5,0OO
 Race Closes Narragansett

Pawtucket, R. l., May 8.-The $5,- 900 added Blackstone Valley Han- dIcap, a sprint affair for Swear oldS and upward, is the feature selected to climax Narragansett Parks 25- day Spring meeting on Saturday. Oi the five stake events offered ct this meeting, the Blackstone Valley looms as likely to produce the tight- est race of the Spring session. Thirty six speedSters were origlnaly flon1- mated for this stake, and c checkup after the assignment of weights today revealed that 22 of these are on the grounds. With so many eligibles present, prospects are bright for one Of the largest starting fields Of the meeting.
 Tn the estimated Of Racing Sec- retary Bob Sheeley, w. Y. Man. nagh's Liberty Flight needs Q weight package Of l22 pounds to keep him on even terms with the rest Of the pack. This is six pounds less than the Liberty Limited gelding carried in the Spring Handicap i1 which he finished second to Sweet Willow. The R. W. Collins Alley gets in with IF pounds. next to top weight, but only one pound more than she carried in winning the Spring Handicap. Sweet Willow got away very badly in the Bristol Handicap two weeks ago but ran right through the field to finish fourth--a clear run from the gate here wil find her in the early lead and mighty hard to catch.
 A. s. picrce's Allegro, which beat both Sweet Willow and Liberty Flight in winning the Bristol Han- dicap, has been assigned 112 pounds three more than he carried in that stake. A consistent fellow when right, the High Time geiding will be tabbed dangerous next eatur- day.
 strong Entry
 The Mrs. T. Christopher-J. U Grafton entry of Donna Leona, Lib- try Franc and Speed to Spare, is another formidable combination. Liberty Franc iS assigned 106 pounds, Speed to Spare will carry li0 and Donna Leona gets in with only 100 pounds. Miss c. Hardin'a Johnnie J. Is assigned 108 pounds and with that light package the fast breaking Rolls Royce gelding will figure prominently. Mrs. c. O Winters Night Editor, assigned 106 is capable of much better than his recent races indicate. Connie smythe's Sir Marlboro, has shown consistent improvement and with only 10e pounds aboard, will be hard to head.
 Others who promise to figure prominently in the running are Mrs. F. c. Goods Votum. l03 pounds; Glen E'cikner's Maechance, l02 pounds; D. V. Kane's Haicyon Boy, 100 pounds; q, K, Nimkcff's watch

Dustwhirl is tho second daughter of Sweep to produce Derby winner in five years.
 As Whirlaway turned the tables on Blue Pair, Our Boots, Little Beans and swain in the Derby, he is expected to even his score with King Cole, New World and Atten- ton in The Preakness.
 PREAKNESS RECORD IS
 LIKELY TO BE BROKEN
 Whirlaway, heavily favored be- cause of his striking 2-year-old rec- ord, could do no better than third, five lengths behind, as Bold 1rish- man battled his way to nose vic- tory over Our Boots in the rich Pimllco Futurity at mile and e sixteenth over heavy Pimlico strip last Nov. 2.
 Jim Fitzsinmons will send c pow erful horse against Whirlaway in

Tho Preakness in King Cole, the sprinter.
 Kith King Cole and Dispose, which swept the Derby field to the first mile in 137 3:-5, setting the early pace, The Preakness and Pim- lico track record also is likely to Do cracked.
 The only other Derby horses go- ing in The PreakneSS are Porter's Cap and Our Boots.
 Others making the Baltimore run are the stretchr-unning Curious Coin, Monday Lunch, Ocean Blue, Overdrawn, Yankee Chance and Ca waller.
 But. we repeat, Whirlaway has only to hold good share of his Derby form to once more run over horses where the real racing begins.
 Whirlaway's outcurve is Q fast ball now.

Press, radio and Photographic

views as to reporting the movements
of British vessels which may arrive
IN this country for repair, outfit or

the American Association of Uni
verSity Women yesterday at tea.
DR.. Hamburger declared the ma
jority of Germans prefer the order
and efficiency of the Nazi control to
individual freedom and compared the
German state as it operates today to
an ant hill community He added
however, he thought an apology was
due the ants which displayed greater
freedom of individual action than do
the German workers of today.
Germans occupy about the same
position as the subjects of the an
cient Inca chieftainS, who were Serfs
without the advantages of serfdom.
and slaves without the hope of ever
becoming free men, he continued.
Like feudal serfS. DR.. Hamburger
