The feature Of the racing at Jerom
Park was Willie" Slms's work in thu
saddle and the success of the Croker
Dwyer combination. As in many othe
things, the ex-Boss got the major por
tion Of the spoils. capturing three races
while Mike Dwyer got one. and his sol
Charlie one. Sims. who is the stabl,
jockey for this combination. rode each
Of their horses, and also rode Lightfoot
who finished second in the last race.
| Stewards John Hunter and DR.. KNAPP
took turns in acting as patrol Judge In
the dip back of the clubhouse yester-
day. This Is a bad place, and affords a
| splendid opportunity for pulling"
There was wild plunge on Specula-
ton yesterday. For the first time In
many races he had the services OF a
good jockey, but could not quite land.
Stonenelle did not relish the distance
yesterday. neither did she show as
much speed as usual
Shadow was badly handled by Nc
CLAIM yesterday. She never got near
the front.
Kingston did not warm up any too
well in his preliminary gallop yesterday
or followed Mike Dwyer and backed
Charade for the place. Melba also had
a good following.
Old Stonington showed some of his
old-time speed yesterday. He Will do
soon in fair company.
The utter Indifference which the Sara
toga Stewards display regarding the In
consistent performances of certain
horses Is amazing. On course. II the
Stewards bet on the races this indiner-
enee may be accounted for, and II Is
do bet. Still. II Is surprising to most per-
sons that, when horses run last In one
race. and win galloping at their next
mase b. the H Three easss s
point yesterday were the wins OF Niece
dab. Semper Lex and Sister Anita, All
three OF these horses finished far back
With f"e the pt exception Of SeeedaR, they
won ealloping. Necedah had to be hard
ridden to win the first race, but the
form she displayed In her last race gave
Cherry Blossom colt, and others In the
race. While Semper Lex was meeting
q poorer lot yesterday. he showed speed.
a quality he did not possess in his last
race. SO with Sister Anita.
When the announcement was made
that Alderman Carey, OF Chicago. had
purchased Miles Standish, the smart
people. knowing that Ed Corrigan and
Carey came from the same town, smelled
a rat. They thought Tyro would be
real good thing, and all hands got
aboard. Then when Miles Standish had
reached a real good price some one
played him heavily. Riley Grammar
never stopped taking Tyro money at
price point higher than any one else in
the ring. Tyro was badly beaten. A
good horse ON the field. he Is II miserable
jumper.
Phil Dwyer did not like the way Clay
ton rode Handover in the nth race, and
he spoke his mind pretty freely regard |
Ing the race. Clayton seemed to try all
right. but got badly pocketed through
the stretch and could not get through |
From the stand 1t looked as though
Swash on Campaign deliberately struck |
across the face In order to |
retard his progress. No complaint was |
made by Clayton, however.
Associate Judge Barnes and X. r. |
owner OF Faraday, shook
hands yesterday and smoked the pipe of
peace. There had been n Ccolness be-
ton at Latonia during the Spring meet
