, : . Whirlaway Pegged Two Pounds Over Market Wise for Butler Calumet Star to Carry 732, i When He Meets Persistent Rival at Empire Saturday YONKERS, N. Y., June 29. Jack Campbell has imposed the highest weight that has yet been assigned Warren Wrights Whirlaway when he requires the champion to take up a burden of 132 pounds for the mile and three-sixteenths of the Butler Handicap, the big event of next Saturdays Army and. Navy Day program at the Empire City Association course. Under this weight, which is six pounds over the scale, the remarkable little son of Blenheim n. and Dustwhirl is rated a two-pound better horse" than Market Wise, the colt who took his measure in the Suburban when the champion was carrying 129 pounds to the 122 with which the son of Brokers Tip was weighted. Whirlaway ran his usual sensational race in the Brooklyn to win over Swing and I Sway and Attention, and he is, penalized four pounds for that score. Mrs. Parker Comings Attention, the Metropolitan Handicap winner, is in the Butler under 124 pounds, which is just two pounds more than he carried in the Brooklyn, which means a two-pound advantage over that meeting with the Wright colt. Swing and Sway, a colt who has" improved greatly, has a two-pound boost in his weight when he is to take up 112 Saturday and his Brooklyn seems to have earned the extra poundage. ! The weights on those, the three placed horses in the Brooklyn Handicap, is, of course, of greatest interest for the Butler. It is expected that each one of them will come together in the big holiday offering at the Hilltop Course. Alsab Given 116-Pound Impost Alsab, naturally, leads all the three-year-olds with an assignment of 116 pounds, but that means nothing, for he is still nursing a blind splint and awaiting the Classic at Arlington Park. The Rhymer, another of the Brooklyn starters under 112 pounds, is in the same notch for the Butler. John Clarks Waller has been dropped from 111 in the Brooklyn to 105 in the Butler and the weight on Tola Rose is 103 pounds, against the 106 pounds lie carried at Aqueduct. Mioland and Challedon, a pair that are handicapped at a greater weight than 120 pounds, are not pointing for the Butler, and while Whirlaway will only to have to give" Attention eight pounds, against the six that he conceded in the Aqueduct prize, he will have to give great lumps of weight to everything else that goes to the post.
