Yesterdays Racing Events-A Long Game
of Ball.
No sensational news came over the
wires from the Gravesend track yester-
day. Russell, who won the two-year-
old race, will be remembered as the SEN
sational two-year-old of America in the
early part of last spring. He was run
off his feet, and before the season was
two months old he had to play second
fiddle to Strathmeath, Potomac, Sallie
McClelland and several others. The
son of Eolus promises this season to re-
trieve his lost laurels to some extent.
Sir John, who won yesterday, is Cali
fornia bred, being by Sir Modred. He
is bay colt and promises to be one of
the crack three-year-olds of the year.
