Bearing down the stretch with the speed of a runaway locomotive, Mrs. Payne Whitney's celebrated bay colt, Twenty Grand, settled the battle for American three-year-old honors today abruptly with a smashing victory over Jamestown, the 1930 Juvenile king, in the historic Belmont Stakes.

Not within the past five years has the final round of the amateur tournament developed such a thrilling, exciting battle as that between the two youthful prodigies of the local links. From the first hole in the morning until the final dramatic click of Albertus' ball into the cup on the thirty-seventh green it was a nerve-tingling combat.

Each made brilliant recoveries from seemingly fatal positions Each negotiated breath-taking putts and each showed a sangfroid and grit under pressure that a Hagan, a Bobby Jones, a Tommy Armour would have been glad to have shown. Never were the combatants more than two holes apart, and on the final round of nineteen holes Albertus, the ultimate champion, never had the advantage until the seventeenth hole. Kelly then deadlocked the match and sent the battle into what is believed to be the first extra hole una uue, out inat tropny became the possession of Mrs. Maurice Fremont-Smith (the former Molly Dixon Thayer) two years ago, so the Wilmington star will need two more legs on the one she carried home yesterday to claim It for keeps. Her present form should take Mrs.

Jessup up the scale in first ten rankings providing it is not a flash in the pan. But her victory over Sarah Palfrey, Boston darling and Wight-man Cup star, last week in Sears Cup play seems to dispel any notion that she will not continue to carve her niche once again. Titles are by no means a novelty to Mrs. Jessup for she is holder of eleven national emoiems of supremacy, practically all of them for doubles honors. Miss Hilleary, however, was to secure a bit of revenue by pairing later in the day with Dorothy An-drus, Stamford, to win the doubles for the third straight time and the trophy permanently for the accomplishment.

And Bill turned in two close victories, both of them after coming up from behind, to take the trophy. Bill hopes it is only the beginning of a big year for Shibe-owned boats for the baseball and speedboat devotee this summer, for Shibe's new $25,000 Gold Cup racer is now nearing completion and will heat, and won the second heat by the slim margin of only 7 seconds in a whirlwind finish.

In each heat the boat averaged about 40 miles per hour. Ethel Ruth was awarded the Wanamaker trophy with a perfect score of 800 points. Second place went to Ed Burrell's Osprcy II, with a second and a third place, totaling 685 points, while John Wanamaker, new 250-horsepower Chrlscraft Pooche II, entered in its maiden race, finished third in the point tally, with a total of 613 points.
