". B. Jennings. the Virginia trainer, to
the head Of the list Of winning own
ers. Jennings stood second on the list
e week ago. some s350o behind S C.
Hiidreth. Jennings winnings during
the week amounted to S5455. as against
$3.50 won by the Hildreth horses.
Jennings total winnings since the
opening OF the season now figure UP
sl0,63O. against Hudreth's Sl0.4SO.
Proper alone has won s7O05 OF the
amount credited to Jennings with three
frsts, two seconds and one third as his
record since the opening Of the meeting.
IN spite Of the fact that he finished
10 better than third Tony Faust made
q remarkable showing in yesterdays
big race The colt giving away weight
in chunks TO everything in the race,
came from last position on the far
turn. and although in the deep going
along the rail. ran over all but two
OF the leaders in the stretch. Miller
rode him and got him away well
enough, but allowed him to fall out of
the running between the four and three
furlong poles. after having kept up
with the leaders for a furlong.
TONY FAUST FANoRITE
Faust was coupled in the betting
with Miss OLicious as faVOrite, at
20 s. the pair being held as an entry
because OF Barney Schreiber's interest
IN both Of them. Proper, opening as
6 s TO 2 second choice. steadily receded
IN the betting for lack Of support, and
went TO the post at to !. Sir Ed
ward, opening At 10 J. was fairly
well played, and his price remained al
most stationary throughout. Collector
Jessup and WoOlma also were suffi-
ciently supported to prevent much
fuctuation. Clydio was played down
from 50 to 81. Joe Coyne. Lisaro. Sir
Russell and TOCOlaw. the other start
ers, went steadily back on the boards.
There was a long delay at the post,
for which the fraciousness Of the field
was responsible. Tony Faust and
Proper were among the worst actors,
but they were by no means the only
ones 10 cut up. Nine minutes expired
before Starter Hoffman saw his chance
TO spring the barrier. but Rbod start
rewarded his patience. Tocoiaw. with
Knapp I'D. broke in front, followed by
I.isaro, Tony Faust. Collector Jessup
and WOolma- Proper was away sew
enth, but was close up Tocolaw
showed flash OF speed and led at the
quarter with Woolms second, Lisaro
third and Tony Faust fourth. Proper
had only held his own
Tocolsw could not carry his speed
and soon dropped back Lissro went
70 the front and Collector Jessup tore
out after him. At the half-mile pole
Lissro had lead Of more than two
lengths while Jessup and Woolma ran
head and head. Brown had moved up
with Proper TO fourth position and was
going along easily. Tony Faust forced
into the worst going. had fallen back
TO last place By this time. with his
stable mate. Miss Ofhcious, only a head
in front Of him.
PROPER An EASY WINNER
Lisaro cracked on the hnal turn and
Collector Jessup assumed the lead.
Brown continued to send Proper along
gradually. and he was second at the
behind the pacemakeT. Brown then
Jet his mount down and the big horse
ran over Jessup in the stretch and won
easily. with two lengths to spare. Joe
Coyne, coming from far back, finished
etoutly and surprised the talent by
taking the place easily by FIVE lengths
Miller brought Tony Faust up from
last place in the stretch run and took
third money from the tfring Jessup by
e neck. Miss Oficious also closed reso- /
lutely and was only a length away
from JessUp. Sir Edward, Redfern up, /
was never prominent. Woolma quit to
nothing after going 3 good half and
finished next 70 last.
The race was worth $4,000 to the win
ner. $500 TO the second horse and 5000 /
10 the third.
Many experts who contend that
Proper will run better races at dis
tances under mile than at the longeB
routes over which he has been racing 4
derived considerable satisfaction from
the outcome OF the race. The field /
which he defeated yesterday was i'm /
rneasurably the superior OF that which /
Dr. Gardner vanouished in the running
Of the stake last season.
MILLER RIDES TWO WINNERS
The attendance, although fully up TO /
the normal for an ordinary Saturday, 1
was not over-large for stake occa-
sion. Public choices failed to fare as |
well as has been the rule OF late only 1
two favorites being successful. Both \
