Scoreboard
P: At New York's Aqueduct track, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Native Dancer, running at the rock-bottom odds of 1 to 20, romped to an easy victory in the mile-and-a-quarter Dwyer Stakes. The three-year-old colt's $38,100 purse raised his total winnings to $560,845, made him the sixth biggest money-winner of all time, just behind Whirlaway.
P: At Henley-on-Thames, England, a Royal Air Force eight edged out Princeton University's 150-lb. crew by a third of a length to regain the Thames Challenge Cup for England after six straight years of U.S. victories.
P: In Washington, Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. waived the restrictions of the McCarran Act for a Russian chess team, including World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik, which will arrive in Manhattan this week for a four-day match with top U.S. players.
P: In Boston, the New York Yankees won a baseball game after losing nine in a row, their longest losing streak since 1945. Despite the losing streak, the Yankees still led the American League early this week by 5 1/2 games.
