race al Belmont Park yesterday. The Hast
ings three-year-old was backed down to
sevens from tens, and was one of the most
widely tipped horses of the afternoon.
Johnson's father started Arsenal, trained
by another man, in the same race, but the
Lamplighter gelding was nowhere. Another
coup was attempted by this young turfman
in the first race, with Aeronaut, three
year-old Ayrshire colt, who was played all
three ways and was backed down to to l.
But he was not equal to the task, although
he ran second to Kansas Prices The Cad

Bey to show in this race. but there was no
such luck.
1t IS not often that racing folks see a
horse in race try as desperately to find

She was entered by the Tippah farm stable,
and such a volume of money was bet on her
that she went to the post the actual favor
ite. The amount evidently oppressed her,
and, after breaking in front and showing
some speed, she decided to take to the
woods. Burns had all he could do to keep
her from crashing through the fence AS it
was, she made the railbirds scatter in wild
haste, Toots Nook Is a most ordinary

]. Clothier participated should attract the
lions share of attention, the Harvard man
having learned the game on the grounds
Of the Merton Cricket Club, at Haverford.
In spite of the fact that all the players have
been practfctng regularly In order to get
In shape for their trip abroad, neither Larn-
ed nor Clothier seemed to be in their best
form yesterday. yet at times their brilliancy
was revelation to the onlookers.
Clothier forged ahead in the first set, and
for a time completely outplayed his older
up In better form toward the end of the set
he was unable to overcome the lead the
Philadelphia man had gained, and Clothier
was able to claim the set by six games.
In the second set Larned took the lead
from the start and the play Of the first set
was completely reversed, Clothier only be-
ing able to place three games to his credit
before Larned won six games and captured
the set. The players started in the third
and deciding set without any rest, and
for a time it seemed as IL 1t was going to
be Clothier's match, for the young Harvard
man started In with a brilliant streak
and for the first three sets carried every
thing before him. With the score at three
games to love, in favor of Clothier, Larned
was blessed with one of his old-time
streaks of brilliancy and commenced play
ing In good form. which landed him a
winner over Doherty in the final match for
the United States championship at Newport
on the occasion when those two famous an
tagonsts first met.
Game after game Larned won, and the
score was soon called three games all. Con-
tinuing his fine form, Larned added three
more games to his credit and took the set
by six games to three. During this bril-
liant rally his chief points Of excellence
were the command he exercised in placing
returns out of his opponents reach, and his
irresistible vOlleying after once having
driven his opponent to the base line.
The match between Ward and Wright on
the second court was won by the former In
straight sets. In the first set Ward scored
30 points against % for Wright and won
six games out of the eight played. In the
second set Wright showed up to much bet
ter advantage, but although he succeeded
in winning the first three games, Ward
managed to pull up on even terms and final
ly won the set by to 5.
This afternoon the drawings bring to-
gether Larned and Wright in one match
and Clothier and Ward in the other. The
summary follows:
w. Larned beat W. ]. Clothier, SO, SO.
6-3.
