RACING, FOOT BALL
AND OTHER SPORTS

| ising enough debut to earn him support the
| next time he starts. A son Of Waterlevel,
he is q fresh youngster and showed a world
| of speed yesterday after he and Royal
China had been practically left at the post.
Both of these youngsters closed up gap
of fifty yards or more and their tussle all
the way. Tapped throughout, was the inter-
esting feature of the race. Watercourse out
ran Royal China a bit until the last six
tenth. when condition told and the Cana
dian fily wore the Virginia colt down in the
place battle. While neither might have been
able to have beaten Samson, there was gem
eral regret felt that they had not met with
better racing luck at the start
Tom Cogan's Win.
Tom Cogan picked up more weight and
showed that he is much better horse than
when he first ran at this meeting While
most too much use was made of Woolgath-
erer. 1t is not likely that he could have
beaten Tom Cogan. no matter how the race
was run, the Canadian-owned chaser having
all ne could do to outlas Seventh Ward In
the race home the fiat Young Mr.. Dion
Kerr was at their heels with Follow On, this
rather understood horse showing improve
ment over his former essays.
But for his known handicap as slow be-
ginner Sidney c. Love would have justified
his hurricane support that wound up maxi
Ing him favorite against the field. But as
usual he not only began slowly, but was
knocked out of 1t as the big field straight
ened out after the barrier rose. The big
gap he closed later emphasized this hard
luck, but 1t is the uncertainty of racing and
philosophical hackers took their medjcine
remembering that there other days. The
Cure was also away badly, but Hyperion
and Collector Jessup were just not fast
enough to beat the winner. Echodale.
The class race of the day, the final. gath
cred In by the Virginians with Bobby
KaaO looked a lucky win for this consistent
horse. With plain sailing and the best OF
racing luck all the way he only had the
two-year-old Monacodor and Debar to stall
off for the first half of the race the elder
horses Peter Paul and Pretension having
not had the best of luck from the start, the
former cutting across the latter on the first
turn. causing Pretension to lose much
ground.
Peter Paul and Iron Horse.
With better handling Peter Paul would
probably have defeated Bobby Kean, as
the latter was thoroughly straight at the
end to stall off the final rush of Pa
Bradleys iron horse, who runs about four
races a week nowadays. The colored boy
Christian, who rode as if asleep over on
the back stretch. woke up very suddenly
in the last quarter, but was just bit
| too late to get up. Had he made his run
earlier he would probably have landed the
10 to l laid about Paul.
Peter Paul is certainly like his own
ers former great campaigner, an iron
morse, Tor the amount or racing ne mas TO
undergo. As he has a bad fore foot, on
which strap is worn, his toughneSs Is
accumulated by his speed and pluck
shown under adverse circumstances. Pre-
tension also in hard luck yesterday.
After his being cut off the first turn
he closed a big gap, and would have been
third in a few more strides.
Thomas WEIGH, who developed Ormon-
dale and won the Futurity with the Cali
fornia bred colt, was at Benning yester-
day. In his handling of the Fleischmann
and other big stables Trainer WEIGH has
shown that in ability he is second to
none of his profession anywhere. Or
monde, sire of Ormondale, was probably
the greatest equine traveller of the CEN
fury. He went from England to Buenos
Ayres then back to England, and over
to this country and California, after w
OBJ. MacDonugh gave S150000 for him.
Truly a great equine sailor.
Has Read His Own Obituary.
Capt Sam Brown seems to have fight
ing change for recovery-pleasfng intelli-
gence to his legion of friends. Like the
Kentucky breeder and turfman Barak q.
Thomas, Capt. Brown has read his own
obituary or had it read to him, something
that very few men have done in their lives.
Tom Mannix supported his filly Orifiamme
again, but the FLY had bad racing luck.
Owner Mannix is one of those philosophical
buffets alike and never grumble. If there
were more like him racing croakers and
grum blerS would rarely De heard o.
