Spindriff Stake
Tom Williams Racer Makes
First Winning This Season
With Miller in Saddle
SPECIAL pIsrArcH 10 rHE cAIL

SHEEPSHEAD BAY, n. Y, June 80.
Walter Miller won the first race in the
east for his new employer. Tom VIII
liams, by landing Firestone in front
In the Spindrift stake. The pre-
mier jockey showed all Of his old time
skill and 1t was mainly due to his clever
riding that Firestone won.
Master Robert was the victim of
wretched horsemanship. Jockey Gar
ner rode him "injudiciously." At only
one stage OF the race did Garner urge
Master Robert to his best efforts. Even
that one effort was so listless that it
caused caustic comments from the
spectators.
Garner flicked Master Robert ten
derly with his whip in the stretch. That
was his one hard effort to win. Pre-
Yiously he sat immovable in the sad
die. Master Robert is noted slug
gard and needs plenty of urging to
make him show his best speed. With
out this urging he dropped back last
and was many lengths in the rear in
the home stretch before Garner struck
him blow or urged him to his best
effort
Gorvan was practically out of the
race.
When the horses were well down the
home stretch and Firestone was in front
Spooner, the early pace maker, had
quit and President Williams black and
orange colors fiocked into the lead
Under the persuasion OF a single cut
with the whip Master Robert fairly
hew down the stretch, but his chal-
lenge had been deferred too long and
he was unable to finish better than
second, Firestone winning by four
lengths. Summary:
