M0RAN'S VICTORY
PLEASES PRINCE,

Was Glad to Hear That Strenuous
Pace Follower Won Out.
Il amt got much money, but 1 am
sure tickled to death and wouldn't
take hundred for it,"
Thus calculated Jack Prince yester-
day when he picked up the Morning
News and saw a Boston dispatch an
nouncing the victory of James F.
Moran at the Revere track. Moran
won out over both Will c. Stinson and
James F. Mclean, both top -notchers.
The race was for twenty miles and
Moran did not have to exert himself to
win.
The plucky rider was scheduled to
get married yesterday and leave at
once for this city to ride at the Coli
scum tomorrow night, in the finish
ing race of the present series. Moran
is the pace follower who fell in At
lanta Friday night and dislocated his
shoulder. He has been on the go since
that time and besides winning his
Boston race captured his bride. u Mo-
ran is certain to be a favorite in Sa-
Vannah and he is bound to receive ap-
plause tomorrow evening, if for no
other reason than that he has been
leading the sort of strenuous life that
would put even Teddy to shame.
