Equine Stars Work Fast
 For Narragansett Special

Pawtucket. R. |, Sept 10-Three of the leading eligibles for Satur- days renewal of the $25,000 Nar- ragansett Special on Saturday had mile and an eighth workouts over the racing strip this morning. and all of them showed they were in perfect condition for the big race.
 Whirlaway was just breezing the final part of his workout as he cor11- pleted the distance in 1853. He had reeled of the first mile in 139 3IJ handily after six furlongs in 1:l3 AS and a half in :4S l/5. As usual, Whirlaway,s exercise boy, Pinky Brown, was in the saddle.
 Clockers who tabbed the work said that the big chestnut with the bushy tail, which has won more money than any horse in history, seemed in high spirits and was rar- ing to run.
 Valdina Farms Founders, the Irish bred colt which defeated Whirlaway in the Arlington Handi- cap went an exceptionally fast mile,

speeding the distance in l:37 2/5, handily. Taken under strong re- straint after a mile, he completed the mile and an eighth in 1:52 flat, breezing. His early fractions were impressive. He went the half in AT and the three-quarters in HI 3/5. It was announced today that Al Shelhamer had been as- signed the mount on Founders in the Special.
 Valdina Orphan, Founders stable mate was going handily during his mile and an eighth work which was timed in 1858 fiat. He completed a half in :47 4/5, three quarters in 1:13 and 8 mile in 1:39 1/5.
 John Gaver. trainer of the Green tree Stable telephoned this morn ing that he is shipping Corydon here for the Special. Corydon will arrive at Narragansett in charge of Gaver's assistant, Marshall Lilly.

 Last night Mt. Desert Stables B. year-old Ally, Spiral Pass became a definite starter in the Narragansett Special. q said before she ran in the Mary Dyer that I would prob- ably start her in the Special" said Trainer John Mcdowell. Despite the weight she took up and the speed at which she travelled the early furlongs of that race, she came out of it in perfect shape. She was so sharp for the Dyer that she just couldn't be rated. She had to go out in front and die there Well, I think I can take enough edge of her so she can be rated a little in the Special, and I don't believe any, thing in that field will outrun her early, anyway"
 Spiral Pass beat the great Ally agrancy in the New England Oaks and came back to run a brilliant second to Loveday in the Mary Dyer, conceding the older mare Il pounds on the scale. She is the Cinderella horse of the New Eng land racing season. McDowell claimed the Ally for e2.500. She now appears worth about ten times that sum.
 Spiral Pass has been running with a rubber bit fin all her races but will be equipped with steel bit in the Special She was gailoped with a steel bit this morning and 1t did not appear to bother her.

Blake Johnson Bowling Briefs
BY ROBERT L. PALMER

Hello againl Your old reporter Is back at the same old stand once more, ready to bring you facts, fig- ures and whatnots concerning the destinies of your favorite bowling league.
 Everything Is in readiness for the opening of the B-J Intra- Shop loop for the 1942-43 season which gets underway at the Mattatuck Recrea- tion drives at p. m. Friday eve- ming. The league will consist of six teams this year, a decline of two from the previous season because Uncle Sam has called many of our boys into service. However, inter- est seems to be at higher pitch than ever, which you can attribute to the fact that competition will be much keener this year because sev- eral of Blake's Industrial league stars have been signed up to roll including Benny Stokes, Sheik Ga-- afano, Joe Adamchick and Pete Rinaldi.
 The league will be known as the Patriotic League in honor of the United States Armed forces and particularly for Blake and John sono's boys in the service, and for those of us who will be called during the coming season.
 With respect to the fighting men of our country we have selected military titles for the names of the respective teams, namely the Leathernecks, Commandos, Rangers Flying Tigers, Bombadiers and Doughboys.
 Anthony Festa, president of the Recreation Society has been after Harold White, ST., to ofncially open the league by throwing his fam s knuckleball but MT. White. ST., is afraid he will show up MT. White, Jr., and that Benny Stokes would want to sign him up for the rest of the season.
 Let's go out and make 1t a ban ner season and make some real rec ords. How about 1t? Ready, okay let's go! See you all Friday night.
 Before we sign of, thought we would pass on little tip to Nick Carosella and Bombshell Emma Moran, that inseparable cornbina- tion who were responsible for the Dodgers winning out last season. They are together again this year but the whole league is out to get them, so watch out Nick and Emma.
 We just heard about Mickey Macharelli's misfortune. Mike broke his arm while warming up for tht seasons opener last week and vii be lost to the Rangers.
