Bear Catcher Quits and Dis
appoints Big Crowd of
Harlem Admirers.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Bear Catcher
went down to defeat in the third and
feature race of the Harlem card or
seven races to-day. The California
colt, which won his last time out,
heavily played, had his usual strong
following to-day and was a close sec
ond choice in the betting at to 2. He
shot away from his field at the start
and his hackers were encouraged, but
after going six furlongs he quit badly
and was next to last at the wire in
field of six
Phil Finch, closing favorite at to 8,
backed down from 2 to 1, proved easily
best. Jockey Knapp evidently knew
the early pace would be a hot one and
so he lodged it, allowing Bear Catcher
and Emperor Of India to run their
heads off.
The mile was run in 1:40 1-5, which
Is the fastest mile made at the meet
ing. The track was fast, weather clear
and warm and a good card offered.
Six favorites won and the talent gave
the bookmakers a severe drubbing.
