The San Francisco call., 1904-06-08
The Black Son of Handspring
Takes Standard Stakes
Cleverly.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

GRAVESEND, n. Y, June THE
running of the Standard stakes to-day
proved three things to thousands of
racegoers who witnessed the stirring
struggle. One was that Major Dain-
gerfield has rturned to the superb
form which induced W. B. Leeds to
buy him from Diamond Jim" Brady
for $4,000. Another was that the
year has not added to the courage of
Hermis, and he may be put down as
the same faint-hearted horse, and the
third is that Africander is good
horse at present and will be a danger
Gus factor in the Suburban handicap.
Major Daingerfield, carrying 116
pounds, defeated Africander, carrying
1926, in easy fashion.
The Standard had it's luster dimmed
by the withdrawal of Irish Lad and
The Picket, but even in its amended
form it provided an interesting strug-
gle. Hermis and Africander opened
pretty close to even favorites, as if
the layers were in doubt and were
feeling their way. They had not long
to wait, for the preference of the ex-
pertS was for Africander. The smart
money on him drove his price down,
while Hermis receded in the betting.
neglected. The Major has acquired
a bad reputation. Some days he runs
in brilliant fashion, other days he will
not run at all, so the racegoers have
tired wagering dollars on the guess
that he would or that he would not.
