WHO KNOWS SHOWS FORM
Beats Coast Marie in Spirited
Brushes on Speedway.
INTERESTING RACES RULE
Sport Exceeds Anything Which
Has Been Seen on the Drive
This Season.

Speedway sport yesterday morning far
exceeded anything seen on the drive this
season The interest Of the day centred
in the match race between Christopher
Hacketts good little Who Knows. 2n+-
and James Murphy's Coast Marie. 2nA-
Supremacy between the two horses has
never yet been decided. for ff the mare
has won one week, Who Knows has come
right back at her the next and wrested
the 1aurels from the mare.
Who Knows was going Ike clockwork
yesterday. and. while Coast Marie was
good. she was not quite strong enough to
beat Who Knows. The first heat was so
close that excitement ran high as the two
neared the post, neck and neck, and when
Who Knows stretched out his nose ahead
of the mare a cheer went up from the
crowd The next heat Who Knows won
by a safer margin, but Il was race from
start TO finish. and every inch of ground
was hotly contested.
Another series OF brushes which proved
quite as interesting was that which brought
out william Scott's brown mare Louise e,
2:11A. and Thomas 3. Leahy's black PAGER
Princess Direct, 2:1A4. Mr.. Scott made a
splendid drive in the first heat and de-
feated the Princess. but she recovered her
laurels in the next tilt, which was so
close that 1t might have been called a
dead heat Only those in a direct line with
the finishing post were able to say 'Prin-
cess Direct by a nose"
Theodore ". Bassett's dear little Miss
Ebzie won as many brushes yesterday as
any horse on the drive Three times sho
came down the stretch with Charles Horns
Bobby H. and three times he was forced to
concede defeat John Farley sent his big
brown gelding Legannon to make the final
brush three cornered, and he finished last
Fitzgerald, a bay PAGER, which appeared on
the drive last week, won two brushes with
William O'Neil1's Lady Tasteful for an op
ponent- After finishing last in a three
cornered brush which brought out Dandy
c. O. and UIrich, NJ. c. Reynolds's DR..
Threet put a number Of brushes to his
credit. He defeated his erstwhile victor,
Dandy c. O., twice defeated Thomas Ian
sons Ci Shelton and once finished ahead
of DR.. Ferster's Lille Wilkes.
Gus Osborne had Fandango. 2:1714, James
Murphy's old Speedway PAGER. out on the
drive, but he insisted on coming down with
H B. Clerke's black trotter Joe Jap. which
does not make sporting combination IN
a race However. after Fandango had had

brushes, Joe Jap got his spunk up and gave
him a decided beating in the final heat
Joe Jap had one brush with Trixey H, but
he broke at the finish and the mare claimed
the race.
Among the newcomers to the drive was
one called Toby Axtel, owned by W1lhan
StoeItzing who cleared up the Brooklyn
Speedway and then looked for other worlds
TO conquer. He made big inroads IN the
ranks Of the trotters yesterday and losr
only a single brush. and that by nose IN
his first brush he measured strides with
PAGER. and he defeated the sfde-wheeler'
making a notable victory. His compettor
was George Geringer's roam gelding Ulr1ch-
After this he twice defeated Philip Helper-
