sWooN's SON

Continued from Page Gil
He finished sixth today, 10
lengths behind Needles. Willie
Shoemaker had Terrang. the
Santa Anita Derby winner, on
top by three lengths at the half,
but he finished next to last.
Hes as fine 3-year-old as
I've ridden all year." commented
Arcaro, who rode Count of Honor
to victory in The Westerner at
Hollywood Park several weeks
ago, He was a little hard to rate
today. I asked him to give me
his best Strengthening for home
and he really purred."
Just Outrun, Erb Says
1--WE were just outrun," said
Erb, who must have been the
most disappointed person here
abouts. Needles was running
easily on the backstretch and he
moved with his usual quick burst
on the turn when ] asked. but he
just couldn't seem to dig in down
the stretch"
1t was learned that Arcaro had
studied the movies of Swoon' s
Sons last four races this morn
ing at the track. The way he
rode the horse for the first time
showed it.
Needles, who burned up more
than 100000 of the public
money. was running only his Sec
ond race on the grass and his
first distance race since he won
the Belmont Stakes June Is. His
only other race since then was
a six-furlong affair here two
weeks ago in which he finished
last and he may have needed a
race.
SWoon's Sons victory was his
seventh in eight starts this year
including the Domino and Chi
cagoan here during the Balmoral
meeting, the Warren Wright anc
Classic at Arlington and the
American Derby Prep, in which
he set a new track record for a
mile and a sixteenth on the
grass.
He earned $236,705 last year
and was rated as one of the best
2-year-olds, although his ability
to run a distance was doubted. He
probably will stay in the Mid
west although there are no really
big races left here for him to
win. There is no indication that
he will be taken East.
Swoon's Son now must be
rated at least on a par with
Needles in the race for the s.
year-old championship. There is
still some doubt IL he can %

Track Mark Set in 1919
Is Broken by Dedicate

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y,
Aug. 10 R.-Mrs. Jan Burke's
Dedicate smashed a 37-year-old
track record for a mile and an
eighth at Saratoga today as the
4-year-old bay colt won the
29th running of the Whitney
Stakes before a crowd of 22,772,
Dedicate was clicked in
1:494s for the nine furlongs,
shaving a fifth of a second of
Sun Briar'S record set in 1919.
The winner had a four-length
advantage over Mrs. John w.
Galbreath's Summer Tan at the
finish. Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs
entry of Paper Tiger and
Searching were third an d
fourth. respectively, separated
by half length. and Az lengths
back of Summer Tan.
Dedicate. who gave Nashua
one of his toughest races in the
Suburban Handicap July 4. was
the favorite with the swelter-
ing crowd and paid Sc, $3.50
and $3.50.
1t was the second time the
son of Princequillo has broken
a track record. Dedicate set a
mark in winning the Jersey
Stakes as a 3-year-old. running
the mile and an eighth at Gar
den State in 1:48 s.
An oddity ABOUT the Saratoga
track record is that the jockey
who rode Sun Briar to the old
mark. Willie Knapp. was the
official timer for Dedicate's new
mark. Dedicate is eligible to meet
Nashua in the $4,000 Saratoga
Handicap here next Saturday.
Jockey Bill Boland took his
time with Dedicate at the start
OF the $4,000 event. dropping
his mount into fourth place in

carrying the silks Of Raymond
McClanahan. sprint to a flve-
length victory in the $500 Po-
tomac Purse at the Hagertown
track today. Only one choice
registered in the eight races to-
day
Favorite players. who had en-
joyed remarkable success here
this week. were jolted in the 6la-
furlong feature when Milford H
Dinker's Fling, the 2-to-1 favor
lite, broke down during the race
and finished last.
Chasing Whatatoy to the wire
was Nedd1es Jones. A Bit Fast
was third among the seven start
|ers. Whatatoy. ridden by Jockey
Bernard Hewitt was the second
choice and paid $3.50.
Making his first start of the
season after being idle since last
summer. Fling appeared on the
track in four bandages and did
little running after Starter Eddie
Blind opened the gates. The f.
|year-old gelding by Rico Monte
finished lame and appeared to
have bowed tendon in his right
foreleg.
With Fling out of contention,
Whatatoy outran her rivals with
ease as the 6-year-old mare re-
corded her third triumph of the
year in nine starts.
Despite the large turnout, bet
ting remained on the conserva-
tive side with a total of $448,873

The tavorite hackers lost their
touch today after Jacodancer
won the opener. Although there
were no long prices. the average
OF choices was lowered sharply
after the public picks had regis

here.
For the fourth straight day,
the favorite player caught the
right one in the first race as
Jacodancer at $3.50 galloped to
ia two-length victory. When Iva
chance won the second at $3.50
to provide a $17.40 daily double
on four and five, it marked the
first time at the meeting that the
choices in the first two events
had not clicked.

another prayer should be said in
gratitude. All the girls then pro-
ceeded TO kneel and say the
Lords Prayer. I was quite taken
aback as I had never before had
TO get on my knees and pray.
Neither my roommate nor myself
recited the prayer but I felt OBJ
ligated TO kneel and recite my
own prayer -.

judice. The girls are really very
eager to learn more about our re-
ligion and, of course, I am always
wanting to know more about
theirs I think have helped
to correct misconceptions some of
the girls had of Jews :. One girl
said to me she heard that when
you make friends with Jew, you
have a sincere friend for life. I
think that is one of the incest
compliments that can be said for
any of us College is a world
of strange people and friendly
faces which I am learning to live
with"
