Who Won

> Californian Charles S. Howard's Sorteado, four-year-old chestnut imported from South America last year: the 38th running of the Manhattan Handicap; outstripping seven of the best handicap horses in the U. S. and setting a new North American record (2 min., 28 2/5 sec.) for a mile and a half; in his debut on the Big Apple (New York tracks); at Belmont Park. Former record: 2:28 3/5 set by Handy Mandy at Latonia in 1927 and equaled by famed War Admiral at Belmont in 1937.

> Poloists Pete Bostwick, Bobby Gerry, Ebby Gerry and Eric Tyrrell-Martin of England (entered as Bostwick Field): the U. S. Open Polo Championship; defeating Jock Whitney's Greentree team (Peter Grace, Bob Skene of Australia, Tommy Hitchcock and Jock Whitney) in the final, 8-to-7; at Long Island's Meadow Brook Club.

> A quintet of German chessmen: the biennial international tournament for the Hamilton-Russell Cup.* Davis Cup of chess; conquering 26 other nations and just squeezing out a team of nerve-racked Poles by half a point (36 to 35 1/2); after a siege of 27 days; at Buenos Aires. U. S. chessmen, victors in 1933-35-37, did not compete this year because they couldn't be bothered.

*Put up in 1933 by England's Hon. Frederick Gustavus Hamilton-Russell, kin-in-law of Princess Mary, Princess Royal of Great Britain.
