P: Chicago, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's great Native Dancer, top-weighted (126 lbs.) in a field of eight, turned on the afterburner in the homestretch and rocketed away to a nine-length victory in the richest three-year-old race ever run, the $154,300 Arlington Classic.

P: In Turku, Finland, Olympic Champion Mai Whitfield, pressed by Miler Wes Santee, whirled to a world record at 880 yds. in 1:48.6, breaking the old record by six-tenths of a second. Aiming for ten records in a year (TIME, Feb. 16), Whitfield has now set four (others: 500 yds., 500 meters and 600 yds.).

P: In Silverstone, England, before a crowd of 100,000, Italy's crack Racing Driver Alberto Ascari, in a Ferrari, won the British Grand Prix at a 92.97 m.p.h. clip.

P: From Korea came word that the U.S. Military Academy's greatest distance runner, 2nd Lieut, Dick Shea, is missing in action. Shea, an army staff sergeant in Germany before he was appointed to West Point, won the IC-4A cross-country championship three years straight (1949-51), holds the West Point indoor records at a mile (4:10) and two miles (9:05.8).

P: In Chicago, where the white-hot White Sox at week's end had won 29 of their last 35 games, Mrs. Mildred Krahn, 34, a baseball fan, withdrew a suit against her husband for separate maintenance. He had called baseball "foolish," she said, objected to her going to a game, and even took a belt to her. But recently he began to watch the White Sox on TV. "He came to me and told me he was wrong about baseball," said Mrs. Krahn. "He's out right now, trying to buy tickets."
