ALL-NAvY BEATS ALL-ARMY

Racing along with mighty strides and
Juggling Justify on the bit Beauclere ran
the two-and- a -quarter-mile course at the
Benning track yesterday. and won the
Washington cup by three lengths. 1t was
mastery effort on the part of the sturdy
sorf of Salvador. and the record-breakins
crowd of 1000 saw him easily beat such
sturdy old plodders as Ironsides and Right
Royal.
The race for the Washington cup was
by long odds the best that has been de-
cided in recent years. The quality of the
contestants was better and the pace of
the seven horses from start to finish was
faster than ever before. Beauclere won
on his merits.
At one time the winner was at . to 1 in
the betting. This was liberal price, con-
siderins his well-known liking for long
journey. Close students of form who
noticed in his previous races that he was
beaten because Notter had made the ia
tai mistake of waiting too long were
satisfied that he would win if he was per-
mitted to force the pace during the early
part Of the race.
No Loafing by Racers.
There was no tagging. such as gave
Right Royal a race early in the week.
but from first to last steady pace was
maintained. From a good start, Pete
Daley jumped to the front and racing
at his best clip, brought the field along
or mile and quarter. Ironsides held
second place length behind the leader
and a similar distance before Right Roy
al. Beauclere was a close fourth, Re-
cruit was outpaced from the start and
brought up the rear many lengths behind
the pacemaker.
This order of running did not change
until nearing the grand stand for the final
circuit of the course. Then Beauclere slip
ped through an opening next the rail
and went to the front. He sped
around the turn quickly and gained
sides after him, and Mcdaniel on Right
Royal followed. Both horses made a gal
liant effort to reach Beauclere but the lat
ter had too much endurance. He sped
along as If the distance travelled was six
furlongs instead of a mile and three-qliar-
tiers. Ironsides stood the long journey
much better than Right Royal and beat
the latter by length for place honors.
