Sport: Who Won

¶ In Milan, Jeannette Altwegg of England, chunky European figure-skating champion, over French Champion Jacqueline du Bief, U.S. Champion Sonya Klopfer, Canadian Champion Suzanne Morrow and 23 others, for the world title. Not so nimble in the free skating, the English girl won because of her superlative skill in the stylized school figures. Men’s champion (for the fourth time): Dick Button, Harvard junior, of Englewood, NJ.¶ In Arcadia, Calif., Kentucky-bred Rough ‘n Tumble, the $100,000 Santa Anita Derby,the first of the important tests for Kentucky Derby prospects. By his handy victory (with Arcaro up), Rough ‘n Tumble became a top Kentucky Derby favorite. ¶ In San Francisco, ex-Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis,* a tenth-round technical knockout, over California’s inept Champion Andy Walker. ¶In Manhattan, the Manhattan College track team over Seton Hall, 29 to 27 2/7, in the 45-college I.C.4-A meet. In the non-collegiate feature of the event, Don Gehrmann won his 39th consecutive mile, a whisker victory over FBI-man Fred Wilt. The time (for both): 4:08.6. ¶ In New Haven, Conn., Australia’s (and Yale’s) Swimmer John Marshall, to set a new U.S. record for the 440-yd. free style. Marshall’s time for the 20-yd. course: 4:33.6, breaking Ralph Flanagan’s 13-year-old record by 3.4 seconds. ¶In Twickenham, England, a French international rugby team over England’s best, 11-3.

* After the fight Louis was asked who, in his long career, had hit him the hardest. Said Joe, who is fighting chiefly to pay his back income taxes: “Uncle Sam.”
