TURF AND TRACK NOTES,

Holscher was so stiff and sore going to
the post in the last race at Belmont Park
yesterday that he could scarcely stride over
a straw. He should have been in a horse
hospital. He was bad last from start to
finish and was beaten nearly forty lengths.
This is the last day Of racing at Belmont
Park until next fall. The program offered
is the best of the meeting. Colin will have
to give Bar None eight pounds in the
Eclipse stakes. The youngsters in this event
will run five and one-half furlongs-the
longest distance asked a two-year-old this
season.
If Jockey Koerner wishes to retain his
good reputation as a race-track rider he
should either learn how to make the turns
at Belmont Park or refrain from riding
there. Yesterday he was unable to keen
Herman and Dinna Ken from swerving so
badly that they lost many lengths. For
tunately for the formers hackers, he was
SO much better than his opponents that he
won in spite of all the ground he lost
Dinna Ken was the best horse in the Van
Cortlandt handicap, but after Koerner had
steered him the overland route all the way
and covered 100 yards more than any other
horse in the race he was not able to finish
better than fourth.
Ben Ban was added to the fourth race at
the last minute When all the top weights
were withdrawn John Higgins thought his
horse had chance and entered him. Brus-
sci rode him cleVerly and saved enough
ground swinging for home to win the race
by nearly a length. The remarkable thing
in connection with this race was the show
turned into the stretch. Okenite was last
Smiling Tom second and Ben Ban third. Al
the finish this trio were fighting for the
lead. The other three horses ran wide.

st. Stephens Won Exciting Game.
In a game, which reversed from one of
the most one-sided and interesting to about
the most exciting of the season. ST. Ste
pher's Institute defeated the Atlantics by
the close score of - to II.
1t thought after the second inning
that the st. Stephens boys had the contest
well slowed away, as in these two rounds
they had nine men cross the score mark,
three in the first and six in the second.
AS a matter of fact the Atantcs seemed
to be of the same opinion, as their base
running on several occasions was very care
less and this fault probably cost them the
game. Up until the fifth St. Stephen 8
only desire seemed to be to retire the side
and get the game over. that is to say,
when a man was on third and one on the
first corner. and when the latter would at
tempt steal to draw Il throw so that the
man on third could score, they would let
the run count and play for the pilferer.
The Atlantics only realized that they had
a chance for victory when in the fifth six
men faced Jimmie Kerr. who was serving
them up for ST. Stephens, and each man got
a safety. three of which counted for two
bags. This was when the poor base run
ming put in an appearance. Murray hit for
a couple of bases and was thrown out at
the plate by the rightfielder after Bryan
had singled. The latter was caught between
second and first. Had these two men play
ed the bases safe the Atlantics would prob
ably have won. In this round they should
have had at least five runs instead Of three.
With the score standing II to the losers
came in in the seventh and resumed their
batting feast, tying the score in this In
ming. Charley Salb was wholly responsible
for the tieing-up of the game. With two
men down and three men on the bases and
two runs needed to even the score he
drove out repetition of Bankenship's hit,
scoring two men, and had 1t not been for
the ground rules. which only allow batter
two bases on ball hit into the crowd, he
might have circuited the bases.
Shorty" Hughes put the clamps on the
game for st. Stephens in the eighth. when
he got a base balls and pilfered from
the initial sack to the plate for the winning
run. 1t was a sensational wind up to a
sensational game, and never has there been
so much enthusiasm shown at a game this
season The result made change in the
standing ofo the clubs. St. Stephens taking
the top of the list and the Atlantics had
to bow to a drop of one place.
