BELMONT PARK. May 3o.-In the
worst storm of the season. with rain
falling so heavily as to make it i'm
possible to take the time of the race.
Colin, who was on Thursday hera1ded
hopeless cripple. won the Belmont
stake, worth $4,000. It was his four
teenth consecutive victory. but he came
nearer to meeting defeat-than at any
time during his career.
1t was no fault of Collins that he
won by the small margin of a neck.
Jockey Notter was TO blame. Forget
full of the fact that the finishing post
was the old one in front of the club
house, he pulled Colin up when pass
ing the regular finish. and it was only
by the greatest good luck that the son
of Commando passed the judges in the
lead.
II Notter had gone on about his
business with Colin, the big black son
of Commando would have won romping
by three lengths.
What is Notter doing?" cried
Keene. and then yelled out: Go on,
Notter; go ont" In his excitement he
threw down his umbrella and began to
wave his arms frantically, as If he
were striking Colin with a whip. His
face was pale and drawn and his

Keene heaved a sigh of relief when
he saw that Colin was still the unde-
feated champion racehorse of Amer

strain and excitement at the finish
that he shook as with the palsy.

Boxing Promoters Show Activity
in Quest for Some Good Cards
By K. A. Snyth

Some good matches should come out
of the present activities of the fight
promoters as evidenced by the visit OF
Manager Jim Coffroth and Billy Nolan
TO me east. Nolans chief errand is
supposed to be for the purpose of Sc
curing the services of ''Packey' McFar
land for a match in this city. but it is
possible that he will try to secure the
management of the promising Chicago
lightweight. If he handles him as
shrewdiy as he did Battling Nelson
he would undoubtedly greatly increase
the earning capacity of Mcfarland.
One of the great matches of the year
would be meeting between Mcfarland
and the winner Of the Gans-Nelsou
fight. This seems certainty for some
date late in the year, as Mcfarland has
shown an inclination to enter the ring
with any one in his class not even
of the title. He would prefer to have
a few more fights behind him before
tackling the champion, and it is pos
sible he will get them. Abe Attell
seems sincere in his desire to meet Nc
Farland in 10 round bout in Mil
waukee, and this should be easily ar
ranged. IT, ~aute would suit each OF
the fighters and they feel that they
would not sustain any damage to their
Mcfarland is not far behind Attell
In cleverness and would have the ad-
vantage of the additional weight. The
only thing which prevented their meet
ing out here was the fact that Nc
Farland objected to doing ringside
weight. He may give over this poin,
If the fight be held in the east. as he
could make the weight more readily
there in the warm climate. This Is
i-+ hi
when they meet to talk fight.
According to report from New York
Attell has landed one match to make
good his eastern pilgrimage. Charley
Harvey announces that he has signed
Attell and Charlie Griffin, the Aus
tralian feather weight, to box six
rounds before his club in New York
on June 6. This should be merely a
warming up galiop for Attell, as, ac-
cording to all reports, Griffin is not
much. His reputation seems to rest
upon his defeat of Bowker in England
although the latter is known to have
gone back since he fought frankie
Neil four years ago.
The prospects of Moran-Attell
match seem brighter now than at any
time since the last meeting of the
feather weights. Attell has agreed
10 nSnI moran at lz2 pOunOS dI Y
o'clock, the weight for which the lit
tie Englishman was contending for sew
eral months. Like all other promfsin ms
matches there is a slight hitch in the
arrangements for this one. Attell has
signed to fight before Jack Gleason's
club, while Moran is supposed to be
tied up to Coffroth. Moran is man
aged by Charley Harvey, who Is Cof-
froth's eastern representative, which
