eleven starters in the Cotton Steeplechase
Stakes fell or endorsed their riders during
the progress OF the race. Lord Radnor. one
OF the favOrites. threw his rider while sur
mounting the first jump. Handvice. the
post favorite. was killed OF making the
pace and finished in the ruck- The winner
turned Up IN Tartar, who galloped home In
front of the Canadian jumper Daryl. with
Sam Lazarus's Crest third. Crest packed
top weight. leo pounds. John S. Bratton's
mare Eva Moe was a keen contender up TO
the time she fell George ". jenkins fell
going over the last jump in the course Both
horse and rider. Albert SonSer. were severe
ly injured The horse fell on top OF SongeT.
None OF the other horses nor riders were
injured. The race was worth S.09o to the
winner. The race was decided over a course
about two miles in length.
John W. Schorr had a break in his win
min streak after capturing thirteen races.
The stable broke the hOodOo when both
Molinos and Rightful scored for the Mem
phis horseman. Molinos proved his claim
10 stake-horse quality by taking up lis
pounds and defeating John Fay's highly
tried Ed TirDey. by A~ontana-LoO. who Vas
In receipt OF fifteen pounds, tn a desperate
finish.
Ed Tirney has worked as well as any colt
trained at Memphis this spring. His owner
said that he would have no excuses II ne
got a good boy TO ride the colt Henry
rode Ed Tirney and put up a creditable
effort In the saddle. NIolinos had a Tough
passage. but pullman finally got clear sail
ing. swinging into the stretch. Ed Tirney
came through with him and the pair had a
uuel from the eighth pole home. Molinos
won by a good neck. Latoila endorsed her
rider at the post and did not start.
Lke MOlinos. Rightful was an odds-on
fsyorite. Semper Vivum was expected TO
make things interesting for the Schorr colt,
but she was used up setting the pace and
had nothing left to finish with. Floyd K.
closed with great determination. and Right
full had to be hustled along to stall on
Hildreth's colt at the end.
Honest John" Kelly is playing in hard
luck these DAYS. He had $3.50 on Golden
Rule to run second when the horse was left
at the post Friday. To-day he tried TO get
even by betting n.O0O on Harry Riddles re-
released both Oronte and Irene Mac were
left standing. This only left three horses
10 race for the big end of the purse Beau
iful and Best won. ridden out from Class
Leader and Joe Buckley.
Although practically left at the post. the
boy on Oronte chased his mount after the
field and finished a creditable fourt-. Oronte
was probably the best horse. and would
have won. IN all likelihood, had he gotten
on with the others.
Beautiful and Best. the winner. was run
UP 10 a.l05 and retained BY his owner. l..
y Appleby: F. c. Dryer. the owner OF
