Who Won
Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane's High Quest: the Preakness at Pimlico, Md.; by a nose over his stablemate Cavalcade, winner of last fortnight's Kentucky Derby. Mrs. Sloane's two great 3-year-olds have won five of the major spring races for 3-year-olds within three weeks (TIME, May 7).
University of Southern California, with 63 points: the West Coast Relays at Fresno, Calif., run at night. In an exhibition 100-yd. dash, George Anderson, 18, University of California freshman, equaled the world's record (9.4 sec.).
Charles H. Johnson of Cranberry Lake, N. J.: the seventh annual outboard-motor boat marathon down the Hudson River from Albany to New York (132 1/4 mi.) in 2 hr., 59 min., 38 sec. In his Class C boat, Dorchart III, the 23-year-old driver averaged 44.2 m.p.h., came within 3 min. of the course record set by a higher-powered boat. Winner of Amateur Class A and one of 18 drivers to finish in a field of 66 starters, was Gar Wood Jr., 16-year-old son of the famed speedboating "Silver Fox of Algonac." Youngster Wood was followed down the river in his bucking cockleshell by: 1) his mother in an automobile; 2) his father's mechanic in a speedboat; 3) his father in an airplane.
