Most Likely Reason Why
Tenny Lost the
Suburban.
.uTTLEF|ELD'S CLOSE CALL
Enormous Sums Depending on the
Race LOantaka Won.

Hundreds and thousands OF people, all over; (;
the country are seeking an explanation OF |
Tenny's defeat in the suburban yesterday.
There seem to be two reasons. Either Tenny
sulked and would not rum or else he was nott
the TennyOf old. The latter appears TO be \
the better end Of the case, and when ono !;
figures II right down, It can be seen that
Tenny has not been, 50 far this season, ,the
horse he was last year.
True enough, he won the Brooklyn Handi-s
cap and won 1t easily. But the horses he beat
were In poor condition. They showed that in /
subsequent races. Prince Royal, who finished
second In the Brooklyn, ran such poor races
during the rest OF the meeting as to make ono
wonder how he ever secured the place.
Tenny's second appearance was at Norris
Park, when he was defeated by Tristans
Though this race was run in reCord-bTeak1ngs
time, Il must be remembered that ClarendOn
end Riley were close up at the finish. The
horses do not class with Tenny, II the form ;
shown by the swayback last year is taken as
a criterion.
The fact that they were close up mnde thsi'
race Il poor one for Tenny, and 1t was evident
that he was not the colt he was last year. 3.
Still he Is "A great horse and can travel with
the best OF them. The above Is the only eX-i
PLANTATION that can be offered for his defeat.f
| Tea Tray, a bad second choice, sulked the en>f
| tire distance and wouldn't try yard
| Loantaka's victory, while not popular onek
| in the true sense OF the word, carried with tt I
| a sense OF pleasure, for it benefited a poorl
man. Race-goers, as rule, don't care to seef
| the mllliOnalrcs win all the money. a
They like to see the poor man get along, ands
It was this feeling that prompted the outburstl
OF Indignation at Norris Park when the1
Messrs. Morris, at the last moment, enteredi
a n
put together for the benefit OF poor owners
Therefore Loantaka's owner is not envied his,
good luck.
Bergen made grand race and 1t was hiss
Judgment that won Dave MCCoun the race. Z
Bergen was told to ride the horse In his own
way. He did so, and instead OF rushing TO the3
front he waited and made his run In the last
quarter. II was good Judgment. Marty is n &
popular boy and every one was glad TO see
him win.
II Is reported that the Court OF Appeals OF
| New Jersey has rendered decision which
Will permit Of racing at all the New Jersey
tracks II viii be remembered that some
| years ago u law was passed by the Jersey
| Legislature which permitted poolseling on
race tracks.
This law was subsequently declared uncon-
stttutiOnal by the lower courts, but until last
year the race tracks were not lnteriered
| with. When the crusade began last summer
| the Monmouth Park officials took the trouble
| 10 lay the matter of the laws constitutional
ity before the Court OF Appeals, and II Is re-
/ ported that the Couat has decided t0at the
| law Is Constitutional II this Is true, then all
| the racing associations can hold their meet
ings without fear OF interference IN the
future.
| II ever n Jockey ought to be thankful that
! he is alive To-day, that boy is Fred Littleheld:
! That was fearful bolt that St tlortan had
| against the grand stand yesterday. After
| crashing through the rails he fell plump
on Littlcneld. The latter was picked up
| unconscious but not a bone was broken
| The horsa was bleeding from the mouth when
I he was ledby the stand.
The railroad accommodations TO and from
| the track yesterday We're, As usual, worse
! than any one Imagined they could possibly De.
| The companies showed that they were en-
tirely at sea In handling large crowd Ana
on a hot day there Is nothing more aggraNat-
ing than to have 10 put ones mana IN ones
pocket about seventeen times 10 have, have your lr
railroad ticket punched Tickets looked nAo
. sleeves when the track was reached.
