Eddie Arcaro Wins
S1O6,4t5 Stake for
George D. Widener
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-George
D. Widener's Battlefield wrapped
up honors as the champion two
year-old horse of 1850 when he
won the $106,415 Belmont Futurity
today in a tight finish.
An eighth of a mile from home.
Greentree Stables Big Stretch ap-
peared to have the race-richest
in the world for ,juveniles-all
sewed up.
Then Eddie Arcaro hit Battle
field once with his whip, and
hand-rode the speedy chestnut
son of War Relic-Dark Display
home in a breath-taking drive. It
was so close at the wire, the re-
suit was held up while the judges
looked at the photograph.
Victory Worth $81.715.
The pictures showed Battle
fields nose in there just ahead of
Big Stretch, a nose worth a net
$81,715 to Widener, president of
Belmont Park.
Big Stretch, trying to duplicate
for the Greentree the victory of
Guillotine in last years Futurity,
was 3K2 lengths ahead of the third
colt, Mrs. Frances A. Genter's
Rough'n Tumble.
The crowd of 36,117 established
Battlefield the odds-on choice, and
the yelping was terrific when the
official sign went up and declared
him the winner.
10th Victory In 13 Starts.
The winner, scoring his 10th
victory in 13 starts, was clocked in
lis 2/5 for 612 furlongs down the
Widener course. That is just one
second off the track record of Por-
ter's Mite. set in 1888.
The payoff on the winner was
$500, $3.50 and $3.50. Big Stretch
returned $7.70 and $3.50, and
Rough'n Tumble, $9.10.
A heavy haze obscured the start
as I. j. Collins Mohammedan went
to the front.
Battlefield was running sixth at
the half. but found an opening and
came through to challenge Big
Stretch near the eighth pole. Ted
Atkinson, riding Big Stretch, was
belaboring his mounts hide, but
Battlefield closed steadily to nip
the Greentree colt at the wire.

Straight Net Title,
Beating ThreadgiII

Jim Thackara blasted Bob
Threadgill in the final round of
the Northern Virginia tennis tour
nament at Buckingham yesterday
to win his third successive event
there.
In beating Threadgill at 60,
60, 6-2, Thackara retired the
three-year Allie S. Freed Memorial
Trophy, awarded to the player
winning the tournament three
times.

teamed yesterday to win a torrid
three-hour doubles battle from
Thackara and Alphonse Smith for
the doubles title, 4-6,. 7-5, 6-1,
4-6. 8-6. The new titleholders
had shown their class in an earlier
round when they put out the 1949
titleholders, Don Leavens and
Buddy" Adair.
Thackara proved too steady fer
Threadgill, who made numerous
errors.
Threadgill blasted the hopes of
friends who thought he had a
chance to win by serving errat-
ically and making error after error
in returning Thackara's delivery.
Bob made six double faults in the
three sets, a luxury he could not
afford against his steady oppo-
nent.
The doubles had the large crowd
at fever pitch during the three
hours of play. McNair and Gif-
ford pitted their volleying attack
against the steady driving and
lobbing of Smith and Thackara,
and won.
