Exciting as these performances were for rich, socialite Mrs. Sloane, hospitalized in Manhattan from a hip injury sustained while bathing at Palm Beach last winter, their importance lay in the fact that they rang down the curtain on the preliminary spring races for 3-year-olds. All weather-vanes on all U. S. racing stables now pointed abruptly toward Louisville, Ky.

S. outdoor record for the 100-yd. breast stroke; Dorothy Poynton. a platinum blonde from Los Angeles with a wide, toothy smile and a penchant for fancy bathing suits; tiny Katharine ("Minnow") Rawls, the boyish freckle-face from Miami Beach who won her first U.

Individual titles: 300-yd. medley - Katherine Rawls 100-yd. free-style...
