PLUNGER's LUCKY DAY.
John j. Ryan Scorched the "Bookies"
at Morris Park.

John ]. Ryan, the .get-rich-quick' man,
made his first really big plunge of the sea-
son Tuesday at Morris Park. Ryan re-
garded H. B. Duryea's Hortensia as cinch
Tor the fourth race. at seven furlongs, in
spite Of the fact that Toboggan, from the
keene stable. was an overwhelming ia
vorite. Hortensia opened at 3 to /, and
Ryan got busy Immediately. He went down
the line betting $500 and 81, 600 at a clip
until the Meddler filly dropped to to 5.
That Ryan is travelling under a lucky star
goes without saying, as Toboggan met with
an accident at the post and was not in
clined to get away with the others. Hor-
tensia won, therefore, and Ryan. according
to those who said they knew what went
into the ring, picked up $4,000 as easy as
rolling off a log. 1t was limited that Ryan
won even more than this amount, but the
exact figures could not be obtained.
The "get-rich-quick" man paid Sc, 800 re-
Gently for Reliable at the Whitney sale.
He got a bargain, and when the Water
cress horse started in the last race his new
owner proceeded to win him out three or
four times over. At least one commission
of 5000 placed by Ryan on his horse was
kept track of in the ring, and there were
several others, ii was said When Ryan
gets into his stride, look out! Last year
he won $4,000 on three races In one day,
but 1t was generally understood that he
was requested by the powers that be to cur
tail his investments in future. This was
one of the conditions named, 1t Is said.
when Ryan was reinstated by the Jockey
Club early this spring.

DUFFEY GOING ABROAD.
Champion Splinter Will Race in
Europe and Also Australia.

Arthur Duffey of Georgetown University,
the holder of the worlds record OF y go
seconds for the 100 yards dash. has planned
to undertake the most extensive sprinting
tour of any American athlete this summer.
In addition to going to England. Scotland
and Wales, as he has done for the last four
years, Duffey has decided to make an ex-
cursion to Australia ana New Zealand.
where he will give exhibitions and COM
pete in 100-yard and shorter sprint races
throughout the island colony.
Although entered In the intercollegiate
championships, May 27-2S. 1t is doubtful
whether Duffey win compete. He Is neither
as fast nor as strong as last year, having
being considerably above normal weight. II
he cannot be whipped into shape within
week he will not be seen In competition on
franklin Field. Philadelphia.
Duffey says he expects to run in the A.
A. U. championships at st. Louis These
will be held on the same day as the west
ern intercollegiate championships, and 1t is
quite unlikely that Hahn, Of Michigan. the
man whom Duffey admits he fears most In
this country, will withdraw from the coll
lege games to runs4n the championships.
This will be the third time within the past
year that Duffey has failed to meet Hahn,
the others being at the national champion
ships at Milwaukee and at the relay races
on Franklin Field last month.
Duffey's foreign itinerary as announced
has him scheduled to leave this country
early next month, and to make his first APP
pearance at the English championships on
July 2. Then he will exhibit and compete
in the various county meets in England,
Scotland and Ireland. later crossing to the
continent for short stay. Arriving in
Australia the latter part of August he ex-
poets to compete IN the national champions
