PURITAN GIRL BALKS
and THOUSANDS LOST

For the second time within three weeks
Jockey Koerner the youngster whom
horsemen consider Walter Miller's oni,'
rival in the saddle, was left yesterday at
Saratoga at the post. He had the mount
on Harry Payne whitney's Puritan Girl.
an even-m money favorite in the third race.
As II the loss OF many thousands Of
dollars on Puritan Girl when she was
left standing at the barrier was not
enough 10 cause comment, the fact that
Clara Huron. the winner, was backed
from 80 TO 1 down 10 s TO led some Of
the bettors TO think there was some con-
nection between the defeat OF the favor
tie and the success OF the long shot. and
there was a loud wall for an official in
quiry.
Louis A. Celia, the big ST. Louis book
maker, who operates from II TO 10 books
in the ring. won a fortune on his flly
Clara Huron. Not only did his agents
accept many thousands OF dollars against
Puritan Girl. but they distributed many
hundred dollar bills among the 204 book
makers on Clara Huron. As high as 30
10 ! was obtained against her at the
opening odds. but the price gradually fell
as the money was bet. and to i was
the ruling price at post time.
The start was good for all but Puritan
Girl. who was left standing still and was
unable to get in motion until the rest OF
the field had opened UP gap OF Is
lengths. Daisy Frost was the pace

'MUGSY' M'GRAW WENT JUST
TOO FAR WITH BALL FANS

Later Inspector Sweeney denied that he
was responsible for Johnstone being
barred out. To a World reporter the in
spector said: "The umpire was barred
from the grounds by the management of
the New York club and not by the police.
I did not order that he be kept out and
would not have done so had been asked
by the club officials. There were enough
policemen at the grounds TO protect John

Both clubs claim the game: President

The following dispatch from Saratoga
came from President Pulliam last night:

maker until the last furlong. when Clara
Huron moved up and. assuming COM
mand, won easily by three lengths.
Puritan Girl closed up a big gap and
caught her field. but Koerner eased
her up through the stretch and she
finished last.
The other feature OF the racing was
the disqualification OF Disobedient af
ter he had won the Mohawk stakes by
a head in a driving finish with McKit
tredge Disobedient committed a de-
liberate foul on the first turn by cross
ing over TO the outside position and JAM
ming Yazd against the rail. The lat
ter was nearly knocked to his knees
and interfered with McKittredge. BY
his interference Disobedient gained an
advantage Of two lengths and showed the
way 10 the backstretch. where the Yaz6
again took command. He led 10 the turn
for home. where Disobedient. who had
been running second. closed. He was fol-
lowed closely by McKittredge. who had
been twice interferd with, and the two
fought the race out 10 the end, the former
finishing by a head.
The biggest surprise OF the day was
the success of Society Bud. winner OF
the second race with odds OF so 10 l

Nearly every bookmaker won large sums
on the result. as she was backed only

BRADLEY MO MATCH
FOR AL. DELmONT

The fight at Lymansville last evening
was disappointing, TO say the least, the
main bout being too one-sided TO be very
interesting. AL belmont OF Medford had
the receipt for the fight tucked away in
his vest as soon as he donned the mitts.
Bradley In every round save the last, did
nothing but tln-can his way through the
Is stages The preliminary ended in a
decision for George Jansen. after one
minute OF playing with his opponent. but
the semi-final bout which was given 10
Johnny Lynch on points should have
been draw at least. as Bates fought
cleverly throughout and was aggressive
until the end OF the eighth and last
round.
The opening rounds OF the main so
were very tame. with belmont doing all

and Fred Tenney. tho manager-captain
OF the Boston team. had a fight after yes
terday's game The encounter was In
the alieyway leading from the grounds
TO the dressing room. but neither man

been making a practice OF carrying of
balls that should be returned after n

away from tho umpire.

period and blow after blow was rained
upon the bodies and heads OF the two
fighters. but the honors were about even.
The enthusiasm OF the crowd was reused,
the Englishman being the favorite. and IL
being thought that he would by some
chance land a knockout and so secure the
decision. So great was the excitement
and the eagerness OF the fighters that
when the gong finally sounded it could
not he heard and they had to be broken
apart by Referee Frank Herrick
The semi-hnal bout for eight rounds be-
tween Johnny Lynch OF Cambridge and
AL Bates Of the same city developed some
clever boxing, and when the decision was
finally given TO Lynch on points II was
greeted with half hearted applause IL be-
ing the opinion OF the majority OF those
present that Bates should have had at
least draw.
The first four rounds resulted slightly
in favor OF Bates. while the last four
went 10 the opposite corner by slight
margins
The preliminary go. scheduled for six
rounds. between George Jensen OF Ly-
Evansville and Young Sayers OF Central
Falls resulted in a decision for the for
mer after one minute OF fighting Jensen
rushed In and with a couple of we'll
directed punches drove Sayers 10 the
ropes. and would surely have followed IL
with a knockout, when the referee saved
him by calling for the bell and giving
the fight 10 Jensen.
Just before the main bout Moses King
OF New London was introduced and is
sued a challenge 10 fight anybody in the
country at 100 pounds.
