REAPERS STAKE
Eugenia Burch Wins by
a Head From
Proper.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-John W. Gates
offered to bet $500 to 500 that the stew
ards would not disQualify Eugenia Burch
after that nlly had finished first in the
Reapers stakes to-day and a foul had
been claimed. The stewards let the num-
bers remain as they had been hung up.
The contest for the Reapers stakes was
most interesting. There was jostling be
tween Sherif Bell, Proper and Eugenia
Burch as the three passed the clubhouse
and there undoubtedly was cross by
Eugenia Burch when Fuller shot the filly
over from the outside in the race for the
| lead as they made the stretch turn.
The fact was that the pacemaker, Faul-
conbridge, stopped so fast when still In
front that both OdOm on Proper and Full
Ter on Eugenia Burch were forced to take
chances to avoid losing ground at this
critical juncture.
Proper at the time was on the inside,
but in the scramble for self-preservation
Odom was forced TO pull up on the out
side, but could not overtake the filly, on
which Fuller rode one of his best hand
finishes. Only a head separated the pair
at the end Of the struggle, with Sheriff
Bell catching both all through the last
furlong and finishing as if he wanted a
longer race to show to advantage. Sum-
