Dekaber Gets Up in Time to
Beat Ostrich in Fea-
ture Race.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

BRIGHTON BEACH, n. Y, Sept. Is.
Raeegoers saw the new st. Louis
jockey, Willie Davis, successfully ride
four winners to-day. On the way home
every one spent some time figuring out
with the modest ''parlay" of IS on this
riders mounts would have yielded. His
mounts in the first and second races
were beaten, but he won the next four.
The 'parlay" would have produced
$4,000. The boy has not had six
months experience as a jockey.
1t was the fourth race that brought
to the post whatever of class was en-
gagged during the afternoon Hurst
bourne was made favorite at to 5.
Little En- made the running for about
seven fuTlongs, when Ostrich raced
past her on the outside and seemed to
have the race well in hand. Dekaber.
however, slowly overhauled him in the
stretch and got up just in time to win.
Hurstbou-ne was in pocket for the
first five furlongs. In the last quarter
he came on the outside, and in the run
through The stretch lost ground. His
race attracted much critical attention.
In the second race Jocund, at l 10 3,
won easily. Wotan should have been
second. but his rider. Lyme, after dis
posing of Judge Denton eased up a long
way from home. He was then caught
mapping by Odoms rush with Brook
Ignite. Thousands Of dollars bet on
Wotan for second place were thus lost.
Fleur de Marie came through in the
last few strides and won the opening
race like a game filly. Escutcheon made
most OF the running, but died away in
the stretch. Workman finished second
and Confessor third. Goldcroft. the IA
vorite, was unDlaced. Summary:
