TENNIS PLAYED BY CRACKS

Favorites Jared i'll at the Sheepshead
bay racetrack yesterday. but the happen
ings in other races were as nothing COM
pared to the sensation that followed the
defeat Of Voter in the race for the Flight
stakes. The attendance. and it was an UNI
usually large one. seemed to have started
for the days outing determined that Voter
must win. and he went to the post for the
stakes mentioned the third race on the
card, a warm favorite, in spite of the fact
that he had up 1872 pounds, and was con-
cedng from seventeen to twenty-five
pounds to all Of the four that opposed him.
Racegoers thought only of his mile VIC
tory on Saturday, when he carried 100
pounds. and such fast horses as Heliobas,
Rush and Brigadier were comparatively
overlooked in the hurry to bet on the great
sprinter from the Keenes' stable.
In the race, Heliobas. Rush and Voter
went away in the order named. Rush and
Voter promptly Outrunning HeIiObas and.
racing head and head, slipped away from
him. The pace they carried was terrific,
each of the pair in front striving to take
the track In the hope of discouragng the
other Rush showed her head in front at
the quarter, and, with Voter hanging at her
throat latch. led around the last turn and
well into the stretch. HelobaS then two
lengths away. third. with Brigadier at his
hips On the straight the thing that was
natural happened
Both Rush and Voter had exhausted
themselves in the sprint over the first half
mile, and they stopped almost one. Still
struggling on. but hardly jumping out of
their old tracks, Rush and Voter fell back,
while HeliobaS. himself tired, but racing
gamely. went to the front. Brigadier fol-
lowed him. and in the last sixteenth of a
mile brought O'Connor on Heliobas to the
whip. but the western horse still kept on
and won, all out, by head. Brigadier Sec
ond. three lengths in front of Voter, who
staggered in third.
When Spencer, who rode Voter. returned
TO the scales. there was a chorus Of kissing
from disappointed hackers of the horse
some of whom went far as to say that
he had not tried to win. AS a matter of
fact the pace of the first half mile was
enough to stop Voter or any other horse
that ever lived
