CHICAGO, July %. - Morello proved
himself to be racehorse of q lifetime at
Washington Park yesterday by carrying
III pounds one mile and a quarter. con-
ceding weight to each of his eight oppo-
nents and winning the Wheeler handicap
in time that equaled Salvator's worlds
record of 2:05. Morello's race was far
superior to Salvatore, for the reason that
it was made as 3-yearold carrying eight
pounds above the scale, while Salvador
made his record as a 4-year-old, carving
the exact weight assigned to him for his
age and sex. Morello's performance es-
tablished him as the racehorse Of the age
DiablO, with Taral up, was the first to
appear from the paddock, and the others
followed in quick succession, Ray S.
being saddled at the stable and parading
from that direction, while the Kendall
pair. Yo Tambien and Maid Marian did
not pass the grand stand at all, but went
direct to the post.
There was only one breakaway, and
Starter PetJingill dropped his flag to a
capital send-off. Maid Marian was the
first to show, with Diablo, Somersault.
70 Tambien, First Ward and Morello in
close attendance. Little Perkins had evil
IDENTIFY orders to make the pace, and he
sent the daughter of Great Tom flying
down the stretch. Passing the stand Maid
Marian led by four lengths, with Somer-
sault head in front OF First Ward, Mo-
relic fourth, close up, Ray s. next, and
then 70 Tam ien and Diablo.
Around the clubhouse turn Maid
Marian flew like hare with a pack of
hounds i'll pursuit, and at every Jump
she Increased her lead. At the quarter
she was ten lengths to the good, while
Somersault was a head in front of Mo-
relic, with Diablo fourth and the others
trailing on, Io Tambien being the last
but one. On sped the filly along the
backstretch, and cries from the stand
proclaimed that she was running away
with the race. Miller on Morello awoke
to the situation, and at the five-eighths
pole began to let the brown colt 90. A
roar from the thousands announced that
Morello had taken second place and that
he was gaining on the fleet-footed leader.
At the half-mile Maid Marian led by six
lengths. while Morello was a length in
front of Somersault, with First Ward,
Bolivar and Buckner close up, and 70
Tambien still lying back.
Around the stable turn the FLY flew.
but her time was coming. Miller saw
that, with only half mile to go, he must
catch her, and he called on Morello for
the effort. No whip was used, but spurs
were, and the colt chased after the tiliy.
Fast as she devoured space the son Of
Eolus was going faster, and the grand
stand went wild as the brown Jacket was
seen gaining on the red, white and blue.
There was nothing in the race but the
two leaders, and as the mile was COM
pleted Maid Marian was still two lengths
in front, with Morello six lengths better
than First Ward, and Yo Tambien in
fourth place. In the stretch the maid
still kept the lead, but it was easy to see
that the colt would overhaul her.
Coming on with machine-Iike action.
and gaining at every stride, Morello
gradually drew up to the brave little filly.
Half way down to the stand mighty
roar announced that Miller had brought
the colt on even terms, and then the race
was over. Morello drew away and won
with something in hand by length,
while Maid Marian beat her stable COM
panion for the place by three lengths.
First Ward was fourth, six lengths back.
and Diablo fifth, while Ray s. was abso-
lutely last.
