WhirIy And WooIf Win ''WaIkOver Raco
Pretty Fair Sort of Horse" Says Jockey
 Who Earned $l,OOO

Pimlico, Md, Oct. 2o.--lUP)-A $1O,oOO "walkover" victory in the sixth renewal of the Pimlico spe- cial boosted Whirlaways record earnings to $53S,336 today.
 The Calumet CannonbalI and seven other horses, including Alsab and Shut Out, originally were en- tered in the race but the others withdrew and ali Whirlaway had to do was circle the track alone to take the prize.
 Fighting 8 tight rein held on him by Georgie (the Iceman) Woolf, Whirlaway whirled around the mile and three-sixteent1ls in 2:O5 2-6. The time was slower than when he carried His Devils red silks to vic- tory over the same distance at Pim- lico to win the 1941 Preakness and the 1922 Dixie Handicap.
 Took It Easy
 From the start it was obvious that Woolf had orders to hold him in. MT. Longtai stepped the half in :55 1-5; six furlongs in 1920 3-5; the mile in 1:46 As and he ran through the stretch in :1S 3-5 sec onds.
 Woolf, who received $1OOO for the easy ride, dismounted without q smile, and said: "He's 8 pretty fair horse and I'd like to ride him again in another race like this one."

Standing

The sun is shining once again in the Doughbcys' camp and from the beam on Benny Stokes face, it's go- ing to shine from now until those same Doughhoys reach the horizon in our Service league. And the said horizon, chums, is first place in this particular case. Looking at the standing, one doesn't find much reason to cheer about the Dough- boys, but considering that only two weeks ago the same team had g. 13 record-well, that means they have won five out of their last six games and will no longer be a door, mat fer the rest of the loop to trample on.

CIGARETTES AND SCRAP M ETAL ALSO SOUGHT
Beckman Plans Eight Teams; Cashin to Help;
 Keen Interest Shown

Waterbury girls who like to play the court sport basketball = and there are hundreds of them are ex- pected to be organized into an eight or ten team hoop league that will do its bit for the war effort by sell- ing War Bonds and Stamps: collect scrap metal and cigarettes, the lat ter to be sent to the Waterbury men in service.
 The general idea, belongs to Charley Beckmarl, an amateur sport promoter, manager and fan in Wa terbury 20 years ago, who has been in California during recent years but has returned to Waterbury, set- tied down and is doing everything he can towards the ultimate end of ridding the earth of such humans as Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini.
 Strong Support
 That his idea is a good one has been proven by the support that has been promised during his effort to organize the league. Knowing that many of the boys who play basket ball in Waterbury are in service; and more are sure to go under the 1919 draft legislation when it is passed; MT. Beckman, with the aid of his own daughter, planned the girls league. One of the first to help him in every way possible, is Harry X. Cashin, former City Ama- teur Baseball League president; Past Exalted Ruler of Lodge 265, B. P. o. E. and gentleman, business -man and amateur sports fan whose in- terest has never Jagged. He has brought the matter to the attention of the East End Community Club and has spoken to several other people about it.
 St. Thomas CYO, the YMCA, Town Plot Community Club; Wa terbury Hebrew Ladies Aid Associa- tion; Mt. Carmel CYO; Pearl Street Neighborhood House; CIO Local 25l Hopeville Community Club; Amer ican Legion Auxiliary and Beth-El Sisterhood are some of the organ izations that have given attention to the matter and will probably make every effort to have their groups represented in the league.
 Where does the sale of War Stamps and collection of scrap metal and cigarettes come in? Sim ply through the process of charging admission of stamps, metal or flags" rather than money-the big idea being to help the War Effort even in a small way and send some cigarettes to Waterbury boys in the Pacific theater of war.
 Glad To Help
 Some of the people, in addition to Mr., Cashin who have gone along" with Charley Beckman to promote the league; are Angela Cartoceta of St. Thomas CYO; Anne DeBellis of the YMCA Y-Ettes; Joseph Galbo, president of the Town Plot Con- munity Club; John Geronimo of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel CYO; Mrs. Liela Alexander of Pearl Street Neighborhood House; Mrs. Aaron Albert and Mrs. H. Aaronson of Beth-El Sisterhood.
 MT. Beckman further announces that any girl wishing to play bas- ketball in the league, whether she is a member of team or not; should get in touch with MT. Cashin at 3-3175 or write to Charles Beck man, 73 Garden Circle. Experience is not necessary; just willingness to learn the game.

Schoolboy Hoop Loop Scheduled To Start In December

Six minor division teams, four major, seven parochial and three high school freshmen aggregations have already sent in their entries for the 1942-43 schoolboy basket ball leagues which viii get under way early in December under the direction of William J. Derwin of the park department.
 Schools which desire to enter teams and have not done so have another weeks to apply and indi- cations are that a record number of teams will participate this sea- son. Many of the teams have al- ready begun practice in the various school gyms, permission for the use of which must be secured through the school department.
 Among the teams which have al- ready signed up are Woodrow Will son, Hopeville, Maloney, Anderson, H. s. Chase, and East Farms in the minor division of the public school league; Duggan, Driggs, Walsh and Webster in the major group; SS. Peter & Paul, St. Mary's, Sacred Heart, St. Margaret's, St. Ann, St. Thomas and St. Joseph in the pa- rochiai group; and Leavenworth, Sacred Heart high and Wilby in the high school section.
 Defending Champs
 SS. Peter & Paul won the pa- rochial and city championship last season; Woodrow Wilson captured minor public school honors: Duggan the major; and Wilby's freshmen romped of with honors in the high school freshmen division.
 Applications for the positions of referees in all Schoolboy leagues which pay one dollar per game, should be sent to Bill Derwin, Park department, city hall.

Blake & Johnson Bowling Notes

Boom" came along, and Al West, our special divisions ace.
 Teddy Coughlin is still the king and Tony Garrafano the crown prince, although 1t was no fault of the latter's that the Flying Tigers dropped pair to the Necks in their first place battle for the league lead and in their struggle for the Hot Stove league presidency. And if all of this is still confusing to Mrs. COughlin, we're sorry, but, if you really want to get mixed up Mrs. C., you should hear some of those old fashioned Stove league meetings presided over by MT. c.
 We've decided the Rangers don't need those vitarnin pills after all. They're doing all right, even though they have dropped seven out of their last nine games. They had the highest pinfall in the league last week, yet dropped a pair to the un- practicable Bombadiers, who zoomed into third place on 8 couple of 600 games. This added another record to their string, making the first time any team has crashed into that bracket on the same evening. Shoot the Doggie to Me Auggie'' Falcontini also got himself record by pinning out 93 pins minus a spare or strike. Which brings to mind the great 99 game by Dickie Owens last season without mark, which is pretty near par for the course, par that isn't reached once in 8 million games.
 Remember Bill Germans predic- tion. ''We'll take E out of IS this round" Those men of Boom Boom are giving 1t 2 run so far.

MACLEOD AND FRANK WERE BITTER RIVALS

Five years ago the two biggest l backf1ed names in the East were Macleod of Dartmouth and Clint Frank of Yale, All-America men. For three seasons, these two Illinois products waged all-out gridiron warfare. Twice the Mac Leod's won. The other game was a thrilling 9-9 tie. Nearsightedness-which made his football feats even more outstand- ing-kept Frank out of the pilots seat.
 He enlisted in the Army Air Forces ground corps and recently was picked up at sea, 8 survivor from a torpedoed vessel.
 Blaik, who is hardly an expan- sive character, rhapsodizes about Macleod.
 Bob played one year of pro- fessional football. He went up with the Chicago Bears, and he was right in his class. George Halas tells me he's never seen scrapper like him."
 Despite his stellar play, Mac Leod did not consider professional football a career. He quit after a season and entered the advertising business in Detroit.
 Born in Glen Ellyn, H., he came to Dartmouth with no football rep utation. He was high school low hurdles champion. At Hanover, he won awards in track and basketball as well as football.

johnson put the impetus to this
56-yard scoring thrust by breaking
loose around right end for IA yards
and a first down on the Okla
homa 40.
Glenn Knox then came up with
the most spectacular play of the
game, the 190-pound end taking
Longacre's fine pass with one hand
and falling forward to a first down
on the 28-a 22-yard advance.
Korczowski hammered the center
of the line. with just enough aid
from johnson to keep the Sooners
refuddled. Korczowski at last bulled
through center for 8 and paydirt
with Oklahomans draped over his
shoulders.
