He Did in Whirlwind Finish Scores Sixth Win in Row in Empire’s Fleetwing
Drive in Last Furlong
Gets Victory for
Hanger Veteran
East View Stakes Romp
For Omission, Piloted
By Don Meade
Ur the Associated Press.
YONKERS, N. Y„ July 20.—Run
ning the most spectacular race of
his brilliant 1940 campaign, Arnold
Hanger's He Did today showed why
he is called king of the sprinters
when he staged a whirlwind finish
to the the twenty-seventh Fleetwing
Handicap.
Carrying 132 pounds and conced
ing plenty of weight to 10 rivals,
the Victorian veteran got up to take
the $5,050 prize by a half length be
fore a roasting crowd of 19,885.
C. V. Whitney's Parasang finished
second, but was disqualified. The
place was awarded to G. D. Wid
ener's Dr. Whinny, which trailed
Parasang by two lengths. The show
went to Mrs. D. A. Buckley’s Here
Goes, a “field” horse.
Unbeaten in five starts this year
and also victorious in his last race
of 1939, He Did gave favorite play
ers their first success on today's
card. The bounding bay paid $5.10.
He ran the short six furlongs in
1:081-5.
Parasang Cuts In.
Parasang was disqualified because,
40 yards from the finish, he was
held responsible for interference to
■several horses. The Whitney colt
ducked in, forcing Dr. Whinny over
Tin Here Goes, which in turn both
ered Arden Lass.
He Did. which recently won Aque
duct's Carter Handicap, had to be a
lot of horse to triumph. Eddie Ar
caro broke him well, but the game
favorite was outrun by several
horses to the last furlong.
At that point, he did seem beaten,
especially under such weight, but
the Hanger horse revealed his class
by putting on an amazing rally that
swept him to victory in the last few
Strides.
Parasang worked his way up and '
appeared headed for success after
bothering the other leaders, but He
Did was not to be denied. Here Goes
and Dr. Whinny held on well after
staging a duel for the pacemaking
Job.
Romp for Omission.
Running like a scared rabbit. Vic- j
tor Emanuel's consistent colt Omis
sion made a show of seven other
Juveniles in the East View Stakes,
Worth $5,750 to the lucky owner.
Don Meade, scoring a consecutive
double, guided the son of Jock home
with a half dozen lengths to spare,
easing up in 1:09 for the abbreviated
6 furlongs. The combination paid
$8.30.
Ice Water, from the Christiana
Stables, came from last place to nip
N. I. Asiel's The Fiend, which was
favorite, by a head for runnerup
honors.
Omission is one of the bargain*
cf the 1939 yearling sales. He cost
only $550 and, in winning six of his
dozen starts to date, has earned
$18,345. Today’s score followed a
victory in the Great American
Stakes at Aqueduct. The colt has
been out of the money only once.
Ice Water Gets Place.
Omission, aWay like a bullet from
the outside position, kept widening
on his field although under wraps.
The Fiend tired trying to keep up
and finally bowed to the game fin
ishing Ice Water.
Mrs. B. F. Whitaker's Sickle T., a
Class “C” Handicap winner in hi*
last endeavor, moved into Class “B”
company in the sixth race, a mile
and a furlong handicap, and came
back with another triumph.
The $4.20 choice wore down Gen
eral Manager by three-quarters of a
length after forcing that colt's pace
from the start.
Asp was beaten a length for sec
ond position.
The victor came within two-fifths
of a second of the track record. He
was timed in 1:51%.

SECOND RACE — BELMAR
STARR, ARABESQUE, CON
NOISSEUR.
BELMAR STARR closed an
immense gap in her last attempt
to be licked less than a length.
She should earn brackets here.
ARABESQUE ran third the last
time out. CONNOISSEUR has
worked in an approved manner.
THIRD RACE — FORTUNATE
BOOP. CIRCUS WINGS, BE
TROTHED
FORTUNATE BOOP has been
worked into tip-top condition and
promises to give a good account
of herself. CIRCUS WINGS has
several corking tries to her
credit. BETROTHED won this
spring at Pimlico.
FOURTH RACE — SYRACUSE,
KING COTTON, GRAND
EEM.
SYRACUSE has copped two
straight and his previous form
was good. He meets indifferent
opposition and should take top
honors. KING COTTON ap
pears to be on the improve.
GRANDEEM is in tip-top shape.
FIFTH RACE—BOY BABY,
KNITETTA, FIVE O’ FIVE,
BOY BABY won his last race
with speed to spare and off that
test should turn in a repeat vic
tory. KNITETTA has fairly
good form to her credit. FIVE
O' FIVE for the short end.
SIXTH R A C E — FRIENDLY
PAUL, FRANCO SAXON,
SAVITAR
FRIENDLY PAUL has finished
second in his last two tries and
appears to hold a bit of an edge.
FRANCO SAXON has been close
up in recent efforts and he
should be in the thick of it.
SAVITAR should complete the
money picture.
SEVENTH RACE—KERMAY, EL
PUMA, HIGHPOOL.
KTRMAY turned in a vastly
improved effort in his last try
and figures to give this good op
position a neat trimming. EL
PUMA has been threatening and
he rates some sort of a chance.
HIGHPOOL Just missed in his
last.
EIGHTH RACE —BEREIT,
MAHLETTE, NANCY MAE.
BEREIT has captured second
money three straight times. The
mare holds her edge and should
be the victor here. MAHLETTE
has been threatening to come to
life and give this kind a licking.
NANCY MAE has a chance to
share in the purse.
Mioland Runs Fourth
As Big Flash Takes
Hollywood Derby
Outsider Heads Weigh
Anchor, Sweepida in
Sensational Finish
By th* Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 20 — Blasting
the Western championship dreams
of the favored Mioland and Sweep
ida. Thomas D. Taggart's Big Flash
came from nowhere today to cap
ture the third running of the
$25.000-added Hollywood Derby at
Hollywood Park.
Closing with a burst of power to
the amazement of the throng of
30.000, the big chestnut colt from
the Indiana stable bowled over
Sweepida in a rush down the
stretch, and held off a second chal
lenge from W. B. Simpson’s Weigh
Anchor to take the winner's purse
of *18,750 bya length and a quarter.
Charles S. Howard's Mioland,
backed down to even money and
bidding for the 3-year-old crown
of the West, ran fourth behind the
second betting choice of the lt*
mile race. Harry C. Hill's Sweepida.
Jockey Eugene Rodriguez held the
heavy son of Sweep All off the pace,
letting Son of War and Sweepida
burn up the track. Big Flash, ig
nored in pre-race forecasts, did nat
get a call until he began his spec
tacular charge in the last furlong.
It had been his running mate in
the betting, John Hay Whitney's
Woof Woof, which had been figured
to give the favored Mioland and
Sweepida a battle.
Mioland was never a threat.
Big Flash, timed in 2 minutes 33s
seconds, paid *17.60 to win. *6.80 to
place and *4.60 to show. Weigh
Anchor paid *6.40 and *4.60, and
Sweepida *3 60

PENSACOLA, Fla., July 20.—For the last 15 days there have been re- ’
current showers while overhead an armada of wings whiz from dawn until
far into the night; man-guided red, yellow and green stars shoot across
the heavens.
And below are groups of Navy lads with an occasional khaki-clad,
all with young but serious faces. Strategy and tactics are in the air and on
the ground. Leisure Is spent in<
hastily played games of chess.
There is a Capt. Rousseau who
sports a Van Dyke and tugs away
as he takes the youngsters into
camp. He tells a strange story of
the Boer War, in which he served
as a Boer officer, was captured by
the English and placed in an island
prison, where he made the ac
quaintance of a world-known Ger
man chess master, also a captive.
From the German he learned the
elementals of chess and the game
was a blessing and a solace during
their many months of imprison
ment. Later Capt. Rousseau came
to America and entered the service
of the United States, becoming in
time a citizen.. Today he is re
tired, albeit he continues to serve
at times in the role of an Army
chaplain. The little town of War
rington on the outskirts of the
“Annapolis of the Air” has honored
him with the presidency of its pub
lic welfare association.
In an odd but attractive manse
of brick and native stone, the rear
facing a challenging arm of Pen
sacola Bay, genial Capt. Rousseau
entertains his chess cronies weekly.

Any Action to Clear
Middle Title Mess
Up to Overlin
Pilots to Handle Zale,
New N. B. A. Champion,
As Ruler of Class
By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, July 20.—If there are
going to be any efforts to clear up
the so-called "muddled middle
weight situation," the first over-1
tures will have to come from the
New York-California camp, which
recognizes Ken Overlin as cham
pion.
This was the word today from
Sam Pian and Art Winch, the
Damon and Pythias pair that last
night piloted Tony Zale *f Gary.
Ind.. to the N. B. A.-recognized
middleweight championship.
“After all we've just won the big
gest hunk of that championship,”
they explained. "Why should we
let New York or anybody else tell
us that we’ve got to fight Overlin
or anybody else at any terms other
than the champion's end of the
I gate?
"As for our boy. he’ll kill Overlin.
We told you he’d knock out Hostak
with body punches, didn’t we? Well,
Overlin would be even easier.”
