THREE FAVORITES
WON AT BELMONT

NEW YORK, May I7-Roseben suffered
one of the worst defeats of his career in
the Crotona handicap, six furlengs,
straightaway, at Belmont Park yesterday.
The track was good and with 40 pounds
to carry the big Splinter was heavily
backed by Davy Johnson, Frank Farrell,
Tim Sullivan and the public. Ridden by
JACK Martin, Roseben got away from the
post with the others, but he lacked his
usual foot and was easily outrun. At no
time was he a factor, and though under the
whip at the end he finished sixth. Barney
Schrieber's Jack Atkin, Is to /, made near
ly all the running, but he began to tire
at the last furlong pole, where James r.
keene's fast filly Suffrage 8 to /, came
with great gameness under punishment and
took the race by two lengths in LIP 4-5.
Pantoufie, 20 to /, by length and a
half. The latter had head over Oxford,
II to l, with Red River, who had some
early speed. half a length back. Dreamer,
an added starter, backed from 10 to Z,
was nowhere at any stage
In q smashing drive. after swerving all
over the track, ]. H. McCormick's Tileing,
to l., was victorious in the Van Nest
stakes for three-year-olds, six and half
furlongs, straightaway. He beat Rose
mount, Is to !, by nose, with Ampedo,
to l, ridden by stable boy, length
and half away. Aletheuo, to favor1te,
was length out of the money. The
time was lie.
Easy for superman.
James r. Keene's Superman, a hot 6-to-5
favorite, qualified for the Brooklyn handi-
cap when he won the last race, handicap
J at mile and sixteenth. He made all the
pace in a hard rain and over dead track
and won easily by three lengths in Ia 3-5,
which clipped two-fifths of second from
Cairngorm's track record. Dolly Spanker,
6 to 1, ran into the place. with five lengths
over August Belmont's Blandy, II to 1. The
latter had half q length over John q. Mad
denis Faust.
Paul Rainey's Sanctus. to 3 favorite,
won the steeplechase at about two miles in
easy fashion from M. H. Dudley's DR..
to !, who led most of the way, was a
poor third. The time was 400 fiat.
Fred Littlefeld's Jubilee, Is to 1, was the
winner of the second race, for two-year-
olds. four and a half furlongs, straighta-
way. But it took hard drive from Pres
ton to make him beat John e. Madden s
Lady Winifred, to l. by nose. The New
castle stables Wave Crest, to favorite,
time was O53 3-5.
The Newcastle stables Saracinesca, 2 to
l favorite, after a hard drive from Miller
In the first race q lightweight handicap at
six furlongs, won by neck from Col.
White, 20 to 1. st. Valentine, IS to 1, was
third. Keator. to 2. was clearly anchored
by the weight, and also received lazy ride.
The time was 1.13 2-5. Joe Carey was
knocked out of it at the start but ran a
game race. Three fayorites were success
full. The attendance was about $4,000.
