I., N. Y., June 24. Alfred P. Parkers By Jimminy further advanced his claims to championship honors among the three-year-olds by winning the 0,000 Dwyer Stakes today, feature of the War Bond Day program which William E. Cotter, director of the Commerce and Industry section of the War Finance Com-mittee of New York, announced had realized at least ,000,000 in bond sales. Greentree Stables Stir Up finished four lengths back of the Pharamond II. colt and another five lengths before G. D. Wideners Lucky Draw, who beat A. A. Baronis Autocrat a length for third honors. By Jimminy, who led all the way, was an odds-on favorite paying .90 and was clocked in 2:03, identically the same time required by the worlds money-winning champion, Whirlaway, to win this same stake in 1941. ,000,000 Sales Reported All admissions to Aqueduct today were by War Bond purchase and the turnstile count was 21,731, a disappointing figure but one which does not include the many hundreds of patrons who purchased bonds earlier in the week and were unable to attend today, or were deterred by the threatening weather. Actually, the minimum requirements for the days attend-ance. to enter the track was less than ,000,000 in War Bonds and the ,000,000 realized indicates that many patrons purchased far more than required. Incidentally, 0,000,000 is the New York areas total sports quota in the Fifth War Loan drive and 20 per cent of this figure was achieved today. The Kingston Purse, for juveniles, which was run as the fifth race, resulted in the third straight victory for C. T. Chenerys homebred Jacforay who had won his last two starts at Delaware Park, and also scored in his debut at Jamaica, then was twice a beaten longshot, Jacforay was sent to the front by Ferril Zufelt at the start of this five and one-half furlongs affair, was headed by the favored Hitem at the head of the stretch then outfinished the Whit-aker colt in the drive for the wire to win by a length.

Ted Atkinson sent By Jimminy to the front from his outside stall at the break, while Johnny Longden had Lucky Draw at his throat for a quarter mile, before the Parker colt could draw clear. Meanwhile, Woodvale Farms Kaytee was a distant third, another wide margin before Stir Up, with Ariel Flight, Bounding Home, Autocrat, Stymie and Shut Up strung out in that order as the field of nine rounded to the backstretch. By Jimminy widened his lead, to three lengths without evident urging going down the far side, with Lucky Draw holding on to second place and Stir Up running over Kaytee, who was running out of wind. Stir Up Closes Courageously Turning for home, Lucky Draw also ran out of breath and Stir Up closed courageously, but could not gain on By Jimminy, who was drawing away steadily. Bounding Home appeared anchored under his 126 pounds top weight and was never realy in contention, finishing sixth. The winner of the Belmont Stakes was trying to give By Jimminy a dozen pounds, and it is doubtful if there is any three-year-old in the land who can give him so much as one pound at this time. There were no excuses for any of the beaten horses in the Dwyer, except that they just did not have enough speed, or enough stamina, to run with By Jimminy in his present form. This Bradley-bred colt was racking up his third straight victory of the season, having captured an overnight handicap and the Shevlin Stakes before winning this fixture.
