JOCKEY SHOWS ABILITY
HELGESEN LIFTS HIS MOUNT OVER
THE PLATE At HAWTHORNE.
Wins by Nose with Aggie Lewis,
with Three Others Only a Jump
Behind-A Great Finish.

CHICAGO, Aug. @.-Helgcsen gave an eX-
hibition of his ability as a jockey in the
Midsummer stakes at Hawthorne to-day
when he fairly lifted Aggie Lewis over the
plate, winning by nose from Buccaneer,
which was a like distance in front of
Sweetie and Elwood. So close were all
four horses that it was impossible for any
one outside of the judges stand to tell
which had won. Aggie Lewis was APP
parently beaten at the eighth pole Hell
gesen won working on her like a Trojan,
but she would not respond until within
twenty yards of the wire, when she shot
through the bunch and just poked her nose
in front. Buccaneer also came like shot
and was only beaten in the final jump.
Sweetie skinned the rail at the stretch turn
and took the lead but could not withstand
the rush of Buccaneer and Aggie Lewis. Ill
wood was running the fastest at the finish
but was on the outside and three noses
kept him from winning.
Dick Welles, at the prohibitive odds of l
to 3, won the fourth race at a mile and
an eighth in his usual easy manner and
covered the course in :52 3-5 which is with
in fraction of the track record. Weather
and track conditions perfect. Summary:
