much disappointment to the public, al
though among the turfmen 1t was gem
orally accepted fact that she was not
ready. For a time it looked as If Beldame
might accomplish something. for she got
away well and was a contender for nearly
three-quarters of mile, only to drop back
utterly routed.
Sysonby and Race King from the start
with Beldame close UP to the end of the
turn, followed by Wotan, First Mason,
Oxford and Colonial Girl in the bunch
the rest trailing. When Beldame quit
First Mason became dangerous factor
for few moments, only to stop in his
tracks, at the same time giving way to
his stable companion, Colonial Girl. But
the latter at the end was five lengths be-
hind the locked pair.
The start was good, although there was
something of a delay before Mars Casa
sidy could get the field perfectly aligned.
The horses ran the reverse way, and were
possibly bothered by the turn. The same
may be said of the riders, for as soon
the big field swept into the stretch 1t
spread out like huge fan, half dozen
horses swerving in different directions.
But in time horses and riders will become
familiar with the new method
AS the gross value of the race was di-
vided MesSrs. Keene and Richards each
received $5555 exclusive of their own fees
Mr.. Richards did not care to run the dead
heat off, and for that matter it is proba-
BILE that Trainer Rowe was just well
satisfied, both horses We're in a state
of fatigue when they were unSaddled.
The race was not run under the most
favorable conditions. The sky was over
cast and stiff, chilling wind blew down
the backstretch, directly in the faces of
t horses and their riders.

Continued from Ninth PageD
terday afternoon by a score of to /. The
contest was good one throughout. as Bus
mess, although losing. contested every
play, and did not give up hope until the
last man had been retired in the ninth In
ming. The contest was a pitchers battle
throughout, and, while Central made as
in only one instance, and that was when
they let in the only run Business secured
throughout the game. Up until the fifth
inning Central had only secured one run,
and the contest looked as though it was
that and the sixth and seventh innings Cen
trail piled up five runs. Business managed
to get their one run in the eighth inning
after Central had finished. McCathran
pitched q fine game, and only allowed two
hits to be credited to the Business batters,
while Crosen, for Business. allowed three
off his delivery. Before the game 1t was
thought that Central would pile up large
score and shut Business out without a tally,
thought different. McCathran famed seven
Business batters, while Crosen caused three
of the Central boys to saw the air nine
times. One double play was made during
the contest. and was from Cunningham to
Peck to Mcdonald. A great deal of praise
should be given to Crosen, the Business
pitcher, for the way he held down the Cen
trail batters. They are all known to be
heavy hitters, and the only one of the op-
posing aggregation who made a long hit
was Mcdonald who got three bases on a
long fly to left field, when Stuckett should
have caught the ball and retired the run
ner.

METROPOLITAN HANDICAP
Race King and sysonby Ran Dead
Heat in Big Event

In a driving finish, with 40 600 men and
women cheering themselves hoarse, James
r. Keene's three-year-old colt Sysonby by
Melton Optime, ran a dead heat in the rich
Metropolitan Handicap at a mile over the
new Belmont Park course yesterday, with
o. L. Richards Race King, a four-year-
old son of Tenny-Orderlette, who, before
the memorable struggle began, was re-
garded as cheap selling-plater.
Few in the great throng disputed the
official verdict, for the reason that while
it was undoubtedly correct, the horses fin
ished at point where it was impossible
for more than a handful of spectators to
see it.
Judges Clarence Mcdowell and c. H.
Pettngill. who stood in a direct line with
the two horses as they rushed down to-
ward them close to the rail, could not
separate them.
Sysonby picked up 107 pounds which
was two pounds less than scale weight,
and gave twenty-nine pounds by the scale
to Race King, who carried ninety-seven
pounds, including three pounds over
weight. Sysonby was a favorite at two to
one, backed down from threes, while Race
King was a 20 to 1 shot. AS there was
no run-off to decide the Question of SUI
premacy. all wagers on the pair were cut
in two, the bettors receiving half the face
value of the total bet.

run in 1.41 So.
AS m the other races, the condition OF

cidedly soft and cuppy. with the exception
of a beaten path, which was as hard as

| 1t was for this path that Shaw made a

On Mattowoman Flats.

The big bucket dredge Kennedy, belong
ing to the Maryland Dredging Company,
which has the contract for removing a
number of shoal Jumps in the river be-
tween this city, and the Kettle Bottoms, is
at work on the flats off the mouth of Mat
tawoman creek deepening the channel.
When this work is completed, which will
be in the course Of few days, the dredge
will be brought up the river off the Fairy
Landing fishing shore, near Mount Vernon,
and will deepen and straighten out the
channel there. The work at that point
was to have been started several weeks
ago, but as it would have destroyed tthe
seine hauling berth at Fairy Landing, Col.
S. S. Leach, the engineer officer in charge
of the work, on the representations of
Capt. Neitzey, the owner of the shore, con-
scented to allow the dredge to first do the
work necessary off Mattawoman, and then,
at the close of the season, come up to
Fairy Landing.

THE BRITT-WHITE CONTEST.
No Interference Expected From Au-
thorities-Both Men Confident.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.-After many
ups and downs, Jimmy Britt of this city
and Jabez White of England are to meet
tonight in Woodward's Pavilion in TWEEN
tyround bout before the Hayes Valley
Club.
1t is not expected the grand jury will in
terfere with the fight. The police will be
instructed not to permit the overcrowdng
of the gallery or of any part of the house.
Britt has ruled strong to 10 choice in
what little betting has been done locally.
There is no open wagering, owing to the
police regulation against public pool selling.
What money Is placed is chiefly between
friends.
The men are to weigh in at o'clock this
afternoon at 133 pounds Both expect
ed to come in handily at this weight it
is natural mark for them to make. They
will both gain before they enter the ring,
and it is possible they will scale nearly 135
pounds, neither is of the worrying kind
Whites long siege of training is over, and
the Briton is anxiousy waiting for the tap
of the gong.
The only work INDUCED in on the last day
of training was a few minutes exercise
with the dumb bells.
In speaking of his prospects today, White
said: Il certainly expect to win, but can
not say whether by a knockout or on
points. 1 came all the way from England
to fight Britt, and l hope to score a de-
cisive victory over him. l have trained
hard and faithfully for the battle, and 1
am in the best possible condition. In fact.
l never felt better in my life. If L lose
will offer no excuses"
Britt, who is in fine condition, is very
confident, and from all indications the fight
will be lively from start to finish. Both
men are talented and trained to perfection,
and both are prepared for a hard and stub
born contest Fast and fierce work is ex-
pected when the men enter the ring, with
every prospect of an early ending in the
fight.
The contest is of international Importance
and will go nearer toward deciding the
championship of the world in the light
weight division than anything in the same
line that has been witnessed in years.
