The San Francisco call., 1904-09-13
MCGEE and Delagoa
Run as a Team to
the Wire.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Delagoa and
MCGEE furnished a hair-raising finish
in the third race at Hawthorne to-day.
The two hooked up at the final six
teenth pole and raced as a team to the
wire, where the Hildreth mare gained
the verdict by the margin of a nod.
Incidentally the talent and the heavy
spectators were given a scare, as
Delagoa was nearly backed off the
boards, being pounded from Z to to
Is to 20 and was still being played at
post time. MCGEE and Delagoa opened
equal choices at TO 5, but flood of
money went in on the latter and Nc
Gee drifted to IL to 5, with few takers.
The feature of the card was the Ex-
celsior stakes, at one and an eighth
miles, in which Miss Crawford was
favorite. Prince Silverwings, backed
from to 1 down to to 1, ran away
with the race, which was worth $1655
TO the winner Prince Silverwings had
speed to loan and. taking a lead of
three and a half lengths the first six
furlongs, increased it 10 four in the
stretch. Although tiring at the end,
he lasted long enough to win by a
length.
The track was fast and the weather
clear and cool The attendance was
only fair, having fallen off largely since
the middle of the season. Summary:
