Who Won
P: Gallant Fox, Derby favorite, three-year-old bay of the Belair stud, strong and heavily built, in tremendous lines of speed and strength: the $10,000 Wood Memorial stakes at Jamaica N. Y., with Earle Sande up, riding his first New York race since 1928.
P: Robert Kruse, heavyweight wrestler: a bout with August Sepp in Astoria, Ore., after Kruse had deliberately kicked Referee L. V. Harrington out of the ring so hard he had to be taken to a hospital. Referee Harrington already had his arm in bandages because not long ago another wrestler, Harry Demetral, bit him.
P: The arsenal football team of London: a 2-0 match with Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium, watched by King George, the Duke of York, 100,000 British subjects, and the personnel of the Graf Zeppelin.
P: The Harvard one-mile relay team: the main event at the Penn relays at Philadelphia when Vernon Munroe, in fifth place at the top of the stretch, ran past four of the best quarter-milers in the East to break the tape.
P: "Oh, For a Monocle," one-eyed racehorse owned by Sir Charles Pulley: the Ashley stakes at Newmarket, England, at 11 to 4.
P: The Brooklyn Robins: a crazy baseball game with the Boston Braves in Brooklyn, in which Bissonette knocked a homer and a triple, each with three men on, and in the seventh inning 13 Robins went to bat against three pitchers to score eight runs. Final score: Robins 15, Braves 8.
P: Freddie Spencer, retired U. S. bicycle sprint champion; a 20 mi., motor-paced race at the New York Veledrome. The time: 29 min. 59 sec.
P: Wilbur F. Coen Jr., youthful Kansas City tennisman: the annual A. K. Macomber trophy tournament at Monte Carlo, for the second time, by beating one Goldschmitt of Paris, 7-5, 6-4, 6-4. If he wins next year the $3,000 cup becomes his permanently.
P: The Cette (small Mediterranean port) soccer team: the French Association football cup, having defeated the Racing Club of Paris 3-to-1 before a crowd of 55,000.
P: Morris Davis of Manhattan, Jewish deaf mute: the Metropolitan Association A. A. U.'s 50,000 meter (31 mi. 121 yd.) walking race. Time: 5 hr. 26 min. 12 2-5 sec.
