Who Won

P: Ray ("Sugar") Robinson, Harlem's undefeated welterweight: a nontitle match against lightweight champion Sammy Angott; by unanimous decision of the officials at the end of ten rounds; after both had hit the canvas with a single thump in the eighth; giving Robinson his 33rd straight triumph in his professional career; .at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden.

P: Rounders, Texas Oilman Emerson F. Woodward's up-&-coming Irish-bred colt: the $25,000 Arlington Handicap; defeating (by three and a half lengths) turfdom's leading money winner, Whirlaway, who collected a mere $4,000 in second money; before a closing-day crowd of 30,000 at Chicago's Arlington Park. (Fortnight ago Rounders placed second in the $50,000 Massachusetts Handicap, when Whirlaway upped his earnings to $454,336 to eclipse Seabiscuit as the biggest money winner in horse-racing history.)

P: Ted Schroeder, 21-year-old Southern Californian: the Southampton Invitation Tennis Singles Tournament (this year a round robin); defeating lanky, towheaded Sidney Wood, onetime Wimbledon Champion, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 1-6, 6-1; at The Meadow Club, Southampton, L.I. Next day Schroeder & Wood fought through four sets against Victor Seixas and Bill Talbert to capture the doubles (7-5, 8-10, 6-3, 6-2).

P: Bob Falkenburg, 16-year-old brother of Hollywood's Jinx: the Western Junior Tennis Singles Tournament (3-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-4); and, teamed with brother Tom, 17, the Western Junior Doubles title (9-11, 10-8, 6-1, 3-6, 8-6); at Kalamazoo, Mich. The fabulous Falkenburgs last month took over the National Interscholastic and Eastern Junior singles (Bob) and doubles (Bob & Tom).

P: At Long Island Sound's Larchmont Race Week: Joseph Merrill's Feather, in the International class; Romeyn Ever-dell's Star boat Bolt; Don Peterson's Comet Blue Peter (only boat in the Race Week fleet to take five straight races). Star class's Undertaker-Yachtsman Frank Campbell, too busy to compete in the entire week's races, came to life over the weekend: his Rascal breezed home first in the final day's racing, giving Campbell his tenth straight victory in the weekly Long Island Sound Y.R.A. championship series.

P: Larry MacPhail's Brooklyn Dodgers: a 9-to-6 win over the baby-blue-clad Chicago Cubs; giving the Dodgers 71 victories out of the first 100 games played this season and placing them only one game behind the National League record set by John McGraw's New York Giants in 1912; at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.

War-Logged

Discontinuing sectional and national championship regattas, the National Outboard Association last week ruled that any outboard motorboat speed records made between now and the time Hitler is "beached" will be unofficial.
