Unless Al SABBATH has . nightmare,
the dream race" between Whirl-
away and Alsab comes OF at $50
pm. (EWT) at Narragansett Park
today.
SABBATH is the Chicago lawyer
who owns Alsab and the only rea-
son this collision OF the 4-year- -old
Whirly and the 3-year-old Alsab
didn't come of a week ago in the
Narragansett Special was because
SABBATH decided his colt had arrived
at this little Rhode Island racing
plant too late to carry out his train
ing schedule.
Although the colt was entered
in the regular way q week ago Fri
day. and Trainer Sarge Swenke
said the colt was in the best shape
of his life" SABBATH insisted on
withdrawing the hard hitting son
OF Good Goods from the Special
in which all receipts and a portion
OF the purses of horsemen were
given to Army and Navy relief.
Whirly Comedies Weight.
Narragansett Immediately put up
$25,0O0 for a. match race to be run
today. with Whirly packing 126
pounds and Alsab 119 on the weight
for age scale. They'll travel q mile
and ree-sixteenths and the first
one home picks up the whole pay
check.
The race brings together the top
two stretch runners of recent years.
Whirlaway, out of the Calumet
Stable of Warren Wright, the
Chicago and Lexington (Ky) sports
man, is the turf's top money win
ner, with $491, 1856 in his bank ac-
count, and unless most of the

come the first half million dollar
breadwinner in history today.

Alsab was picked up by SABBATH
for 500 at the Saratoga yearling
sales a year ago and already has
won more than $270,000.

It was a battle royal with every

by winning IS games and losing 10
between July 18 and September 8.
This year the Cardinals were 10
games of the pace as late as August
S, even though they were in second
place. And when they made their
move they delivered the most pun
ishing blows themselves with a
minimum Of help from the other
clubs.
Between August 5 and September
13, when they took over first place
exclusively, the Cardinals captured
80 games and lost eight. They have
won four more without an inter-
ruption since then and have earned
themselves q lead Of three full

II the Redbirds win seven out of
these eight, which is not too much
to expect from the spirited st. Louis
kids, they can clinch the pennant
no matter whether the Dodgers win
all their remaining 10.
And inasmuch as the Dodgers
have shown no signs of being able
to win 10 straight-even though
seven are with the Phils, two with

Warneke's assignment was any

who started the Brooklyn Dodgers

It was Just a few weeks ago that
Warneke was . member Of the Car

the $500 waiver price, cutting him
out of . possible World Series split
that may reach 1900.

The Cardinals, leading the Dodg-
