After. Being Backed Nearly
Off the Boards at Worth
DR.. Stephens Wins by a
Head in Desperate Drive
Special Dispatch to The can.

CHICAGO, Oct 7.-Dr. Stephens,
which was nearly backed off the boards
in the third race,-the feature event at
Worth track to-day, was driven out to
the last ounce to beat the long shot.
Easy Trade. With better boy up the
latter would no doubt have won. Seam
ster, who rode the winner, put it all
over Foy when the final test came
DR.. Stephens opened at TO and
was gradually pounded to even money,
finally closing at Is TO 10.
Chanterelle attempted to make
runaway race of it. having a lead Of
five lengths down the back stretch
Here Dr. Stephens commenced to close
on him and entering the stretch looked
handy winner. Easy Trade, however,
came with a rush and in a desperate
drive all through the final eighth was
only a short head behind DR.. Stephens
when the wire was crossed.
The track was deep and holding and
slow time was made in all the events
