Who Won

P: Young Jack Thompson, yellow-skinned, smooth-muscled, crafty Negro boxer from Oakland, Calif.: the world's welterweight championship from Jackie Fields, a favorite at 3-to-1, in Detroit, winning 10 out of 15 rounds. Loser Fields was paid a guarantee of $37,500; Thompson, agreeing to accept only training expenses if he won, had a profit balance of $14.85 but was jubilant at being the first Negro welterweight champion since 1901. P: Robert Tyre Jones Jr. and the Prince of Wales: the last three holes after being dormie three in a two-ball foursome with Harrison R. ("Jimmie") Johnston, U. S. amateur champion, and Sir Ellice Victor Sassoon; at Sunningdale, England. The Prince saved the match by playing a better shot than Sassoon out of a bunker guarding the 18th green.

P: Gallant Fox, with Earle Sande up: the Preakness at Pimlico, beating Crack Brigade by less than a length after coasting past the grandstand the first time round in a pocket.

P: The Hill School track team: the annual Princeton Interscholastic games, beating Mercersburg by 1/2point.
