 l3O Up; BOySy Threat

Pawtucket, R. A.. sept. 11-Albert Sabath's Alsab arrived at Narragan- sett Park yesterday afternoon and completed the field of seven that are virtually certain Co go to the post in the $25,000 added Narragan- sett Special which headlines the Army and Navy Day program at the Rhode Island racing grounds on Saturday.
 The Sabath 3-year-old, the tough guy" of the season among thorough breds, will encounter Whirlaway, worlds greatest money-winner, for the first time when he goes to the post n the mile and three six teenths run Saturday. Alsab has stood up under grueling campaign since last winter. This season he has been to the barrier 16 times and has won such clasic the Freak ness, the American Derby and the WitherS. He was second to Shut Out in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He has earned $184,06 in purses and stakes this season and $209,265 in his two years of campaigning. Tn his most recent start, the Washington Park Handicap at Chicago, he vas beaten length by the 6-year- r-old Marriage. Alsab was conceding Marriage seven pounds in actual weight in this race and Is pounds on the scale.
 Alsab is in the Narragansett Special at l22 pounds, while Whirl- away has 130. Whirlaway is thus conceding Alsab pound on the scale.
 All of the other horses expected to start in the Special are on the grounds. Whilraway has been at Narragansett since last week, and has been training steadily over the course. The Greentree Stables Corydon shipped in from New York yesterday. Tom Heard, Jr.'s Boysy arrived from New Jersey last week. Valdina Farms Valdina Orphan and Founders shipped back here from Chicago immediately after the run ming of the American Derby. The Ally Spiral Pass, from the Mt. Des- ert Stable, has campaigned in New England all year.
 WOOlf On Whirly
 The rider for Alsab in the Special is yet to be announced. All other riders have been assigned. George Woolf is on Whirlaway, Billie Thompson on Corydon, Ferril zufelt on Valdina Orphan, Al Shelhamer on Rouders, Darrell Clingman on Boysy and Tommy May on Spiral Pass.
 Alsab arrived in racing condition and will require only blowout tc fit him for Saturdays contest. Al the other entrants have completed their training program, except fol final blowouts, over the Narragan. sett oval.
 Today the track is drying out rapidly and unless there is more rain the going will be fast on Sat- urday afternoon.
 Although main interest in the Special lies in the first meeting of Alsab and Whirlaway, several other candidates for the race have their supporters and appear entirely cap- able of upsetting the champions.
