Who Won

> Tosmah: the $28,800 Maskette Handicap for fillies and mares; at New York's Aqueduct race track. Despite their sex, Tony Imbesi's four-year-old Tosmah, the 1964 filly champion, and Ethel Jacobs' five-year-old Affectionately, winner of $169,806 this year, are perhaps the two top thoroughbreds in the U.S. Equally weighted at 128 Ibs., they matched stride for stride practically all the way; judges needed a photo to determine that Tosmah was the winner by the narrowest of noses.

> Ted Erikson, 37: a successful, round-trip swim of the English Channel, from Dover to Calais and back in 30 hrs. 3 min., slashing more than 13 hrs. from the old record set by Argentina's Antonio Abertondo in 1961. A Chicago research chemist, Erikson battled cold, exhaustion, schools of jellyfish and hallucinations ("when the pilot boat turned into a rosebush, I just closed my eyes").

> Bret Hanover: the $70,000 Little Brown Jug, harness racing's best-known contest for pacers; at Delaware, Ohio. Winner of 42 out of 45 starts and $420,403, the three-year-old colt won the first one-mile heat by 3 1/4 lengths in 1 min. 57 sec.--a new world record for a 1/2-mile track--took the second heat in 1 min. 57 2/3 sec.
