Who Won

P:Frank Gray Carroll, 35-year-old hardware merchant of Brecksville, Ohio: the Grand American Handicap, trap-shooting's No. i event, with a score of 100 straight targets from the 19-yd. line; in his first championship tournament, upholding the tradition that an "unknown from nowhere'' usually wins the title, never held twice by the same person; at Vandalia, Ohio. Tied for second place were eleven gunners, who broke 99 out of 100, a score which would have been good enough to win 31 of the previous 37 annual tournaments.

ܡky Larking, Mrs. Ethel Mars's two-year-old colt: the 33rd running of the Hopeful Stakes, richest ($31,450 to the winner) race of the Saratoga season; by three lengths over a field of top-notch juveniles; before a closing-day crowd of 20,000; at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. C. Bespectacled Stanley Wooderson. London bank clerk: a special mile race in 4:06.6, breaking the world's record of 4:06.8 set by Kansas' Glenn Cunningham at Princeton in 1934; to become the first Englishman in 55 years to set a new world's record at that distance; at Hotspur Park, London.

P:Eighteen-year-old Bob Feller, famed Cleveland pitcher: his fourth baseball game of the season; against the fourth-place Boston Red Sox; in which he struck out 16 batters, one less than the modern major-league record he shares with Dizzy Dean; at Cleveland. This is the second time within a year that young Feller, whose arm has been ailing all summer, has equalled or broken the American League strikeout record of 16, set by Rube Waddell 29 years ago.

P:Pitcher Fred Frankhouse of the Brooklyn Dodgers, tailenders in the National League: a no-hit, no-run baseball game (called because of rain after seven innings), against the Cincinnati Reds, 5-to-0; the first no-hit game in the National League this year; at Brooklyn, N. Y. Last Dodger to record a no-hit performance was famed Dazzy Vance in September 1925.

P:Germany's Baron Gottfried von Cramm & Henner Henkel, playing their first tennis tournament on U. S. soil: the U. S. doubles championship, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, defeating Defending Champions Donald Budge & Gene Mako, who had beaten them in two previous encounters during the current season (Wimbledon semi-finals and Davis Cup interzone final); at the Longwood Cricket Club, near Boston.
