Trainer losses
Challenge for
Whir|away
Jones Would Have His
Horse Matched With
Suburban Victor
BY SID FEEDER,

hoooCldItQ fIcSS OpUlLS WIlteI.
NEW YORK, June 1.-Just by way
of getting the thing Strengthened
out, plain Ben Jones today issued a
challenge for match race between
his charge. Whirlaway, and Lou
Tufano's Market Wise.
And, while he has made only one
bet on Whirly in his career, plain
Ben even might be induced to wager
little money, marbles or chalk on
the outcome. That's how he feels
about It.
Along with the challenge. the Mis-
souri, magician of the race tracks
also revealed that he believed his
little chestnut cannonbal has had
things too easy lately.
Entered in Brooklyn Handicap.
AS result, he's sending him to
the post again in week or two in
stead of waiting for the $4,000
Brooklyn Handicap at Aqueduct on
June 27.
Trainer Jones isn't irked exactly
at all the pooh pooling which fol-
lowed Whirly's three-length defeat
by Market Wise in the Suburban
Handicap last Saturday at Belmont
on a card which saw $2,176,071 bet
for world one-day record.
Look" he pointed out. Market
Wise was lucky to get through on
the inside. Whirlaway had to go
around. That must have given
Market Wise two or three lengths.
know what Whirly can do and I'd
like to have this match arranged to
settle it"
Would Like Race Soon.
Plain Ben hopes the race can be
arranged in the next week or 10
days. He'd like it at even weights
Saturday his horse spotted Market
Wise pounds-129 to 124 and at
mile and quarter or mile and
a half.
Also. he wouldn't mind II the track
that wants it would put up nice
sized purse to help Whirly get some
of that approximately $4,000 which
still separates him from Seabiscuit's S
money-winning record. The $4,000
he added Saturday left him with
s377,811 in the bank and pushed him
past Sun Beau and into second
place.

which there have been so many
balks." he says.
Before the holiday week end, nine
balks had been recorded IN the
National League. Only four were
made for the corresponding time IN
1e41. Seven had been charged
against the American League, nearly
a third of last seasons total.
League Is More Erratic.
In the same time, the National
League was down for 1888 errors,
against 1886 a year ago.
Brooklyn has been on top almost
every day, but consistency ends
there" says Spaulding. The other
teams have been hot and cold.
Boston and Pittsburgh each have
held second place three times in
various weeks. st. Louis is there
now. Four teams have been in
third off and on, none holding that
place for much longer than week"

NEW YORK, June STUDY
IN contrasts-or is it? England's
wartime sport has become a week
end affair with players and fans
engaged in war work through the
week. Saturday two cup flnal
soccer games drew 10000 fans.
In America baseball is going on a
business-as-usual basis and not
getting rich from week day Gus
toners. Saturday and Sunday
major league double-headers GREW
$4,000. Looks as if the athletes
might as well save their efforts
for occasions when the fans are
willing and able to turn out. AS
further proof, five big morse
tracks drew 10000 fans Satur-
day. When Market Wise won the
Suburban at Belmont, it was the
first victory for Lou Tufano's
stable in 27 races since the
Widener at Hialeah. Gloria

the service.

In Section B Scrap

A surprisingly strong and de-
termined Taft A. c. nine today was
within striking distance of first place
in Section A, National City League,
after jolting the pace-setting
Naiman nine, s-5, in a hotly con-
tested fray. The result also threw
the flag race wide open to the top
five teams.
In Section B. meanwhile. Joe
Boyle's representatives took firmer
grip on the lead by drubbing the
previously unbeaten Kavakos tossers,
11-8. while Capital Transcit was
chalking up over Friendship House
its first win of the season. 81.
Taft's triumph featured a card
that saw Petworth humble Army
and Navy, ILL, while Ninth and
New York Avenue was tripping the
Eagles, 3D.. 1t was Naiman's first
league defeat and left the Photog-
raphers a scant half game ahead of
the hustling crew from Woodbridge.
Harry Newly, former American U.
star, and Loeffer, the winning
pitcher, paced Taft's 11-hit assault
on Fisher and Price, each getting
three bingles, Newly connecting for
a triple. Six runs in the first cGnched
matters, but the winners added
three more in the sixth to make
victory doubly certain.
Eddie Pohutsky's clouting and
Walter Pohutsky's pitching featured
Boyle victory. The former included
a triple in three safeties while his
brother was holding the enemy to
seven hits.
Scriviners two-hit mound per-
formance against Friendship, both
credited to Outfielder Russell, was
the days top pitching exhibition in
the league.
Lyon and Hanlein paced Pet

Building Valuations
For District Area
Pass $100, ,000, 900
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Private building operations in the
District Of Columbia in 1941 topped
the Sc, 100 900 mark for the first
time since 1928 and registered a
valuation gain of more than ST.
900, 900 over 1s40, which previously
held the post-depression construc-
ton record. Though precise COM
pilations were not available, it is
obvious that private building for
the Metropolitan Area established
an all-time record with a valua-
ton in excess Of $100,O00,0O0
The Office of Building Inspector
Robert H. Davis estimated the Dis
trict's 1941 building valuation at
just over the $4,000 900 figure. They
had not completed tabulations for
December. The valuation through
November was $43, ,405 900. A num-
Der of large permits were approved
in the last days Of the year.
A permit was issued only this
week for the Statler Hotel, which
has been under construction for
some time at Sixteenth and K
streets NV. Permit value of the
hotel is $4,50O,000, although the
project, including the ground and
finishing, will cost nearly $4,000, 900.

Builders of the country have set

38th annual survey of the real estate
market, shows that In eight per cent
of the cities the house costing below
$1,000 is the most common type now
being built. This very low-cost home
is eight times as frequent In defense
as in non defense areas.
For the country as a whole. the
most popular price range for home
building as the war started was the
$4,5OO to 5000 range Close con-
tender for first honors is the 5000

predominates in seven per cent of
the cities. while the over SO 900 Is

families. Homesites purchased in
the same period total on the av-
erage 3.54 per 1000 population or
14.5 per 1000 families.
Continuing Demand Seen.
Thus. homesites purchased were
approximately one-third greater in
number than single family dwellings
built. an indicat tion that to the de-
gree that materials can be had de-
mand for new building will continue.
Defense areas showed, of course,
somewhat livelier building than the
national average and livelier pur-
chasing of homesites. Houses built
averaged 2.88 per l 900 population or
11.8 for every 1000 families. Lots
sold averaged 3.78 per 1000 popula-
ton or 15.4 for every / 1000 families.
Need for civilian home building to
avert housing shortage is reported
by three-fourths of the largest cities.
Shortages are developing most rap
idly In the cheaper price ranges.
