CLOSE BOWLING GAMES

+ Fourteen two-year-olds started in the Sec
ond race at Aqueduct yesterday and only
nine finished. Four fell and one broke down.
The first to fall was Epidemic, who tripped
on the heels of some colt in front, stumbled
and went down. Then one after another
three others fell-Blue Delft ridden by Red
fern; Glendon with an apprentice named
Saelig on his back, and THAN, with Cannon
up.
The accident aroused much excitement
among the occupants of the grand stand.
for Redfern one of those who fell, is con-
sidered by many to be the most promising
lightweight jockey seen in years and half
a dozen millionaire turfmen are eager to
secure him for their stables. Greatly to
the relief of all concerned, including the
father and mother of Redfern, who saw the
accident from the grand stand, the patrol
judges wagon drove up to the stewards
stand with all the Jockeys In 1t, all unin-
jured, and a cheer went up from the thou
sands who saw the riders report to the
stewards.
Harrison won the race. but If Waugh, the
rider of Gallant Smith, could have kept that
colt straight In the last half furlons his
owner, j. S. OBrien, would have got back
some of his heavy losses of the season. The
race was for two-year-olds, at the unusual
distance Of mile and seventy yards.
watkins OVertOn, VINO ran third In the
second race, is owned by C. B. Ellison the
western plunger, who nearly bankrupted
some Of the Hot Springs pooirooms last
winter by his heavy winnings. If the colt
had won Ellison would have had great
day, because when the betting opened on
the fourth race. a handicap at a mile and
seventy yards, there was plunge on Harry
New. owned by Ellison, who had Won this
seasons Latonia Derby, but who had been
declared by competent authorities In the
west to be far below high class form.
Harry New opened at 10 to / and was
backed down. Himself made the running,
but at the end of the seven furlongs Harry
New had complete command of the race
and he won cleverly, while Old Hutch, Him
self and Hermencia were heads apart. Fly
Ing Jib, favorite, ran a. most disappointing
race. as did Bonnibert.
The large field of nineteen ran In the OPEN
Ing event. which was for Jockeys who had
never ridden a winner. Tangible with Nc
Creery up, bolted on his way to the post
and threw his rider. Another jockey. Lar
sen, was put up, and he too was thrown,
but remounted and went to the post Glen
nellie and Blanket, first and second choices
were left at the post, the former actually,
the latter practically. There had been
tip In circulation about Blanket which must
have cost his hackers many thousands. The
winner proved to be J"Billy'' divers Shark
ridden by Cantwell, son of a once well
known horse owner Of that name.

declare that the horse who finished first
was lucky not to have been disqualified, for
they say that l.. V. BeIPs G. Whittier was
interfered with about a hundred yards from
the finish. Cannon. rider Of G. Whittier,
duly made his claim Of foul, but the stew
ards did not entertain 1t. Sadducee was
practically left and Lyme merely allowed
him to canter over. Belvino ran a good
race and was at the long price of 20 to l.
There was bewildering number of really
good things in the fifth race, for f1llies two
years old Sis Wagner was said to have
worked very fast and was backed from co
down to II to 1. Rosetint was the form
favorite, and Mamie Worth, Athlana, Flor
ham Queen, Geisha Girl and Conspicuous
all had support at varying odds. Athlana
refused to break and left. Mamie
Worth went to the front early and was
never headed. Geisha Girl and Rosetint
were her closest pursuers for half d mile,
when Geisha Girl dropped out.
In the last event of the day the stewards
deliberated some moments and questioned
the riders of the first three horses before
they finally gave the signal which confirmed
the judges placing. A complaint Of foul
had been lodged by the rider of the heavily
backed Great American, beaten read by
Knight Of the Garter. The latter carried
Great American out 80 that both finished
well to the outside. Attila WIS close
third. He also was well backed. When ''all
right" was shouted by Jack Adler in the
ring there was great rejoicing.
