PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-The
Philadelphia Athletics won their
seventh straight today. defeating the
New York Yankees again. 6-5, when
Sam Chapman sprinted all the way

Just as last night when the AS

some splendid spot pitching to re-
ceive credit for the win. Dietrich re-
placed Dick Fowler in the sixth and

with two in the third, helped by
Phil Rizzuto's home run. The AS

Coa|town Upset
In Withers by
Vulcan Forge
Odds-on Choice Loses
3-Leneth Margin in
Lost Quorter-MiIe
By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, May 29.-Coaltown
ran out of coal in the stretch today
and Cornelius v. Whitney's Vulcan's
Forge came on with rush from last
place to score stunning victory in
the 73d running Of the Withers
Stakes at Belmont Park.
A crowd of 41,877, which had
established Coaltown q prohibitive
favorite at Is cents on the dollar,
couldn't believe what was taking
place, but at the same time was un-
able to suppress mighty cheer for
the chestnut Whitney colt as he
charged under the wire two lengths
on top. AS it was, Coaltown barely
saved second by a nose over King
Ranch's Better Self.
Only four started in the one-mile
classic, all weighted at 126 pounds
Vulcan's Forge, a S-to-I shot, paid
$20.40 and $3.50 for 81, with no
show wagering, and was timed in
1878 on fast strip. Jockey Doug
Dodson was content to watch Coal
town, with Jockey Newbold Leroy
Pierson up, bounce out into an early
advantage, with Better Self and
Ben Whitaker's My Request tagging
along closely in second and third
position.
C0altown Opens Up Lead.
Coaltown opened up a length-and-
a-half margin at the quarter, two
lengths after the first half mile and
three lengths passing the three
quarter pole.
Turning into the bend for home,
Coaltown still was flying and Vul-
cans Forge still trailed the third
horse by four lengths.
As the quartet pounded down the
long Belmont stretch, Dodson, who
had quit Calumet last winter after
tiff over riding engagements, gave
Vulcan's Forge the green light and
the son of Mahmoud- Burning Bright
got even for what happened in the
Preakness when he ran second to
Citation.
He caught Coaltown at the eighth
pole, drew away and grabbed first
money of s20,1O0 easily. 1t was only
his second win in six 1948 starts.
Coaltown paid $2.10 for second,
and the track had another minus
place pool of $2,1490 05, obviously be-
cause of the heavy place betting on
the Calumet colt.
Marabout Is Victor.
Mahmoud should be proud of his
sons today, for Marabout scored an
upset in the preceding race, the
Juvenile Stakes.
Marabout, a grey 2-year-old colt
owned by George D. Widener, Bel
mont president, pulled a surprise
in the 72d running of the 5-furlong
Juvenile by beating Allen T. SIM
mons Eternal World.
Eternal World was s-to-20
choice in the small field of four, but
came to the wire a half length in
arrears of the Mahmoud colt, which
covered the distance down the Wild
ener straightaway in 591s seconds
and paid $500 and $40 for 50 with
show wagering out. Marabout COL
lected $10,275 for his effort.

Not only did the Ohioan win the

Only once during the week was
their grumbling at Stranahan. That

rain, he stopped and sank two prac-

His previous invasions of Britain
have not always been as pleasant as
his current trip. Two years ago he
became involved in a dispute with
his caddy during a round of the
British Amateur, discharging the
club carrier on the spot.
That incident received unfavor-
able publicity, and his status with
the Britons was not improved last
year when 1t was reported he had
claimed a hole from an opponent
after the latter had conceded a half
by pulling Stranahan's ball into the
cup. Stranahan denied any inten-

incident nevertheless so aroused the
Britons that the press refused to

Citation Sets Record
With 10-Length Win;
Could've Been 70
BY the Associotsd Press

CAMDEN, N. j., May 28.-Cita-
ton, winner of the entucky Derby
and Preakness, rose to his greatest
heights today with track record
smashing 10-length triumph in the
$4,000 Jersey Stakes at Garden
State Park.
The fleet son of Bull Lea from
Warren Wrights Calumet farms
breezed the first half-mile with his
four rival 3-year-olds and then pull
ed away to win with Eddie Arcaro
easing him up through the last one
eighth of a mile.
Even though he was slowed down
to almost q walk at the finish line.
Citation was clocked in 2:03. one
and three -fifths of a second faster
than the old track standard OF
2:O42s.
The triumph added another $43,-
300 to Citations earnings and
boosted his total winnings for 1s
races, II of them victories, to s467,
900. That was enough to send him
into fifth place past Seabiscuit on
the money winning roster.
Wagering was limited to win bet
ting only but 1882 of the $685.
476 bet by the crowd of 27.814 went
on Citations nose. As the result
the Calumet colt paid the minimum
of $3.50 for 50. The track, however
escaped q minus pool by a narrow
margin.
Macbeth Runs Second.
AS Citation crossed the finish line
with Arcaro standing up in the STIR
rups and looking back at his rivals
there was a battle going on for sec

much as If another horse race.

Gasparilla broke out of the gate
on top but after the field had gone
a quarter mile, Macbeth assumed
command with Citation in last place
but not far of the pace.
Gould Have Won by 20 Lengths
The closely punched 3-year-olds
hit the first turn with Gasparilla
back in front and Citation at his
throat latch. Citation stuck his nose
in front at the three-quarter mile
and the race was all over right
there.
PARKWAY took a run at him mid
way of the back stretch and Mac
beth made a bold bid coming into
the final turn. But Arcaro merely
loosened up on the reins and Cita-
ton fairly few. He was caught at
