Whether Warren Wright‘s Whirlâ€" away, the vagabond king of the turf, returnps to rags and rogueâ€"like, ways or takes a strangle hold on the threeâ€" yearâ€"old crown will be determined next Saturday when the, Kentucky Derby winner hooks up with Bold Irishman in the $75,000 Preakness at Pimlico. Its going to be a mighty long time before Whirly‘s recordâ€"smashing perâ€" formance in the Derby is forgotten by the 100,000 who saw the little chestuut burn up Churchill Downs home stretch Saturday . with 2:01 . and twoâ€"fifths clocking. But in. Bold Irishman from Mr:s. H. C. Phipps‘ Whsatley Stable, he‘ll meet a horse that also can turn on the heat in that final drive. Jones, who won in 1938 with Lawrin, all but slept with his charge for six months. Morning after morning he had Whirly learning how to take the turns by having a lead pony force him into the rail. Pictures even indicated Jones dressed up the ,Derby winner with only one blinkerâ€"over his right eyeâ€"thus aiding him in keeping to the rail. As much as 17 lengths back at the halfâ€"mile post, Arearo moved Whirlâ€" away into a contending position roundâ€" ing the last turn. Then came the Thunderbolt. He shot between the paceâ€"setting Porter‘s Cap and Blus Pair, and pulled away to win by eight lengths, running the last quarter in 24 seconds. ; He left Hugh Nesbitt‘s Staretor and Lou Tufano‘s Market Wise to fight it out for second with the decision going to Staretor and the remainder of the field strung out far down the stretch. There have been at least nine Eskiâ€" mos murdered by violence way up on the desolate Belcher Island: of Hudson Bay. This may be explained by the fact that the Eskimos have just found out what "civiliz‘ men are doing and want to get in on it.â€"North Bay Nugâ€" The Irishman, kept out of thse Derby by a slight injury, is the only highâ€"ranking twoâ€"yearâ€"old of 1940 that figures to bar Whirlaway‘s path to the mythical "triple crown," which includes the Belmont Stakes. Repeat Is Uncertain Whether Whirlaway will repeat his Derby performance in the Preakness, not even Trainer Bon Jones is sure. The Derby victory, woridh $61,275 and the richest in the stake‘s history, boosted the earnings for two seasons to $145,326 for the son of the Enghsh Derby winner, Blenheim. Then the night before the big race, Jones sketched a map of the track for Jockey Eddie Arcaro, showing him just where he wanted Whirlaway to be at each point.

John Henry Titus, at 95 years of age, has one claim to fame. It dates back 69 years, to 1872, when, while a young tannery worker, he got the idea of "The Face on the Barâ€"room Floor," ballad whichâ€"says the Philadelphia Recordâ€"has brought him half a milâ€" lion dollars and is still good for $5,080 a year. St. David‘s Welsh Society Ladies Show Appreciation He wrote the 120 verses on bits of bark and leather and after recopying them, walked into the office of the Jefferson (O.), Sentinel (his father, William K. Titus, wasâ€" editor), and laid the manuscript down on one of the It became the shibboleth of reformâ€" ers from coast to coast, although Tilus still insists: his work is a satire and not. the moralizing document some have made it out to be. "My poem," he begins, and you can tell he‘s gone through this business thousands of times before, "my poem starts out this way: "Astir the pine in somber lay, "T‘was a barmy autumn night, And a Godly lot was there That oversaw Joe‘s barâ€"room as a court on the square; And as song in wit as story ekes of oaken door, A vagabond stept slowly in askan upon the floor." The Hugh D‘Arcy version that so many people recite, Titus e@plains, a goodly crowd was there, Which wellâ€"nigh filled Joe‘s barâ€"room on the corner of the square; And as songs and witty stories came through the open door A vagabond crept slowly in and posed upon the floor." "D‘Arcy used the phrase, ‘balmy sumâ€" mer evening,‘" Titus points out. "Evidently, he didn‘t know the word ‘barmy‘ means full of barm or froth. Hs talks of a goodly crowd where I speak of a Godly lotâ€"meaning sancâ€" timonious lot." The vagabond of the poem was based on a real person. Titus, who has wriiten hundreds of other poems that aren‘t generally known, has just returned from a tour of army camps in the Southern States. Presentation Made to Mrs. T. J. Thomas Mrs. T. J. Thomas, 23 Cambrai avenue, was hostess on Monday at an afternoon tea for the women of the St. David‘s Welsh Society, who spent many weeks in making the flowers for the successful flower show at the Harmony Hall, from which a total of over $160 was donated to the Bombed Victims‘ Fund. But fathers and editors aren‘t always appreciative of genius (we know how it is) and the immortal epic wasn‘t published until two years later. When it was printed, however, there was no stopping it. But the poet doesn‘t object to the misinterpretation as much as he does the corrupted versions of the ballad that have cropped up. During the afiernoon, on behalf of the ladies present, Mrs. R. S. Dewar presented Mrs. Thomas with a beautiâ€" fully engraved fountain pen, as triâ€" bute to her work in connection with the show. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. J. J. Grant, Mrs. J.

In the light of what Col. Ralston has said, dny degree in which it is less than it might be is tilting of the balâ€" (From Toronto Telegram) Hon. James L. Ralston is not only an excellent speaker but he is also fortunate in the ability to have his words broadcast and rebrondcast over the governmentâ€"owned radio systemâ€" a fortune shared equally by other government orators not so gifted in speech. It was well that other comâ€" mitments of the governmentâ€"owned radio system did not render it inconâ€" venient to broadcast to the people of this country his warning to an interâ€" national gathering of Rotarlans that the most dangerous enemy on this side of the Atlantic is the idea that we have plenty of time. We have, he scid, to steel ourselves to strive and work just as resolutely and just as hard as if the cnemy were at our gates. It is good to gather from Mr. Ralâ€" ston that the government no longer thinks of limited participation or halfâ€" way measures, and that before we have got far into the third year of the war this highly industrialized country may be producing almost everything in the way of equipment, munitions and armâ€" ament. We shall, he said, shortly beâ€" gin to produce field guns, and then tanks (at long last) and Leeâ€"Enfleld rifles, and before the year ends. naval guns, antiâ€"aircraft and antiâ€"tank guns.
