Colt Beats
Stunts by ; Lengths
In $4,000 Edgemere
By the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A young
whipper-snapper named My Re-
quest came along today and
spoiled what was supposed to be
a duel between Stymie and Assault
in the $22, 900 Edgemere Handicap
at Aqueduct.
Assault, six-year-old arch rival
of Stymie. the eight-year-old Mr..
Moneybags of racing, finished
third. Stymie, obviously in need
of a few races, ran ninth and last
in the mile and one-eighth feature.
My Request. generally regarded
as the No. 2 3-year-old last year
behind Citation, shot in front at
the outset and remained there to
defeat G. H. (Pete) Bostwick's
Stunts by three lengths.
Rushed From Last Place.
Assault, much farther along on
his comeback trail than Stymie.
rushed from last place around the
far turn and charged down the
stretch to grab third money only
three-quarters of a length back
of Stunts.
The winner, ridden by Eddie
Arcaro, clipped the distance in a
respectable 1:504s on a fast track
His hackers in the crowd Of 30,093
got back $ll.20, $500 and $3.50
across the board for every 50 they
planked down on Texas Ben
Whitaker's chestnut colt.
Sentiment was oozing all over
the premises even before the race.
one of the best handicaps of the
year even if two old gaffers had
just about come out of wheel
chairs to participate.
Stymie, who hadn't raced since
he went lame 13 months ago in
the Monmouth Park Handicap and
hadn't won since he copped the
Sussex Handicap at Delaware
Park July 8, 1948, was the object
of most affection.
Cheers for Stymie.
The crowd stood and cheered as
Stymie's groom led the pride of
Brooklyn to the saddling area.
But the fans didn't let senti-
ment stand in the way of cash.
They made Assault, the great
King Ranch triple crown champ
of 1916, the 5-to-2 favorite.
Stymie. who has earned $911, 1886
more than any other race horse
in world history-for Mrs. Ethel
D. Jacobs, went of at 7 to /.
This was the first time in nine
meetings between Stymie and As
sault that one or the other didn't
win. Assault tops Stymie, 5-3.
My Request picked up $15,675
for this one, and shot his earnings
to $500, ,655 for the 18th victory in
81 starts in three years of action.
He was third to Citation and Coal
town in the Kentucky Derby last
year, and Won five races this sea-
son before suffering an injury last

hadn't won in six tries since he
copped the Excelsior Handicap at
Jamaica April Is.
Assault Misses I'd Place.
He was himself today, and I'm
glad of it," Arcaro said. Eddie
said Whitaker planned to send
the colt back to the farm if he
didn't run well today.
Assault might have taken Sec
|ond money, for he was moving
fast along the rail as they turned
ir1b the stretch. However, Jockey
Dave German had to pull up and
swing around the firing Loser
Weeper about an eighth Of a mile
from the wire.
AS for Stymie, who still needs
$88,665 to reach the $1,000 900
mark in earnings:
"He had a little run, and then
he tired" said Jockey Hedley
Woodhouse.

Whale Flesh Ruled Not Meat
When Made into Sausaces

BRIGHTON, ENGLAND.-A Brit.
ish court ruled that whale meat
isn't-at least not for sausage-mak-
ing purposes.
The judge fined Osborne Stores
company S pounds $500 because its
meat sausage had only 26 per cent
meat instead of the 30 per cent re-
quired by the ministry of food.
Whale meat used to make up the
rest Of the required percentage is
not mentioned in the food ministry's
definition Of meat, the court noted.
Osborne Stores said the sausages
had been very popular.
The British, harassed by a meat
shortage, had been eating whale
meat for some time. Many seemed

Girl Adopts Career
Of Training Dogs
For Hunters Use

RANDOM LAKE, VISA 20
year-old Wisconsin girl with a faint
skein of freckles across her ose
and a pair of large, gray eyes is
undertaking a career as a trainer
Of hunting dogs-something almost
unheard of in this masculine domi-
mated branch of outdoor sport.
She is Wanda Woog Of Random
Lake, the assistant trainer Of
Charles (Chuck) Morgan, handler
of two national retriever champions
and for many years one Of the best
known of the professionals in the
country.
Wanda's parents-and just about
everybody else around here-were
much opposed to Wanda going to
the dogs, but she survived all such
opposition and says, with commend
able sagacity for one Of her years:
II guess that's the way it is with
any woman who thinks she can do
a mans work" (The ladies who re-
bel strenuously at those who con-
tend woman's place is in the home
have a strong ally in Wanda.)
After five years Of watching the
training methods of the redoubtable
Morgan, Wanda decided that dog
training and field trial handling
was just the dish for her. AS a kid
in her teens she would watch the
veteran at his field training chores
hour after hour, and naturally
learned a lot, for she is that kind
of a girl.
But there was school. The folks
insisted on that. Wanda thought
maybe she could launch her train
ing career after high school but
mama and papa insisted on more
schooling, so Wanda had another
year Of it at Whitewater State
Teachers college. By that time she
was so crazy about dogs, hunting
and the outdoor life that there was
no holding her back. She became
assistant.

Since the idea is entertainment,
reasonably pure and entirely
simple. Kelly and Sinatra count
more than the story. Naturally,
the same is true of Esther Will
liams. who plays the owner of a
big league baseball club more
prettily than it ever was in real
life. .
AS a combination of music,
dance. color and slapstick, the
film at the Capitol might even he
called timely. Certainly it CO.
incides with those reams of words
and slews Of pictures coming out
of the South to remind the coun-
try that baseball is warming up
again.
It Is not a modern baseball
game that movie fans are taken
out to in the newest Kelly-Sinatra
exhibit. 1t is one played back in
the Theodore Roosevelt admins
tration when, presumably, the
atmosphere of the game was more
relaxed. 1t was the era of the
shirtwaist and sailor hat for
girls like Miss Williams and of
blazers and f1annels for men.
1t also was the period in which
baseball players in the off-season
went in for vaudevil0 a vocation
for which the films stars are far
more qualified than for handling
bats and baseballs. This explains
why they are ready at the slight
est provocation. or none at all. to
break into. a stretch Of slapstick
ending up in song or dance.
As In their previous outings,
Kelly and Sinatra play the same
characters. Kelly is the ingenious
and energetic one. the fellow with
ideas and the strength to carry
them out. Sinatra is the mouse
type, weak of body and not too
strong of mind. Kelly is the pred
atory one who likes nothing better
than to play male soloist to line
of female dancers. while Sinatra
is frightened into a new neuroslS
at the sight of every other girl.
This variation in the natures
of the screens strangest pair of
ball players takes easy care Of
the different types of songs
needed for a baseball musical.
The fast ones fall to Kelly. who
can break out of the vocal into
. dance faster~than any man on
the screen. The ballads 60 nat
urally to Sinatra. and then by
way Of variety they team UP in
