BALLY HOO BEY AGAIN.

New York, September 1.-Bally Hoo
Bey and "Tod' Sloan duplicated their
success in the ruturity one week ago, by
winning the Flatbush stakes today, the
feature OF the card at Sheepshead bay.
Tommy Atkins, the odds on favorlte, wa
second and only beaten a head and, at
the weights, was unquest1onabIy the best
horse in the race.
An unfortunate incident marred the
event which had direct bearing in the
outcome Only four horses started and
the race was conceded to be a duel be-
tween the Whitney and Keen candidates,
BalIy Hoo Bey and Tommy Atkins.
They were sent off on the second break
to good start and Smile and Bally Hoo
Bey made the running, but not more
than length separated the four for the
first half mile. At this point Sloan took
his mount back so that Smile showed in
front a neck before Tommy Atkins, who
was the same distance before Alard
Scheck and Bally Hoo Bey. They came
into the stretch necks apart with Smile
on the rail and BalIy Hoo Bey on the
outside, When Strengthened out and al
most at the last furIong pole a bad mix
up occurred which fortunately did not re-
suit in a serious accident. Smile sweryed
out and BaIly Hoo Bey bore in on the
other two and for a second the crowd on
the grand stand held It's breath expecting
to see one, If not all, go down IN a heap.
This did not happen but the favoribe
was knocked out of his stride. Spencer
had to pull up losing three, or four
lengths By the time the tangle was
Strengthened out Sloan had rushed Bally
Hoo Bey to the front and was settling
down and riding him out with hands
and heels.
When Spencer got Tommy Atkins going
again, he set sail for the flying leader
who was some three or four lengths in
front and with whip and spur rode
desperate final finish. Foot by foot the
game Tommy Atkins crept up until 1t
was only two lengths then one length,
! then a neck, but the finish line was too
close and amidst the widest excitement
the judges were passed with Bally Hoo
Bey a head In front Alard Scheck was
third length and a half away. Spencer
claimed foul but it was not allowed, al
, though the stewards had all four jockeys
in the stand bsfore giving their decision.
= The feeling was divided as to who was
responsible between Smile and BaIly Hoo
Bey and it looked from the stand as if
9 both were partly to bl anne.
The Ocean handicap went to Voter in
{ fast time. Rush. the favorite, with
i Sloan up, was beaten of, showing no
Q speed at any part of the journey.
