tournament, the championship of
the South Atlantic states. 1t has
become almost habitual for some
Albanian TO win this event, and.
with the team that will be sent
down this time the thing should be
a cinch.
In the meantime, al the Athletic

never before. Several of the old
players are working harder than
usual and several of the new ones
are developing fast.
1t would not be at all surprising
if the Southern championship went
to DR.. Nat Thornton again this
year. He has not taken it since
1907, but he is lust as good as he
ever was, and there appears mo-
body in sight who can beat him.

What promises to be the
worst scandal of the British
turf in ten years became known
when the sporting weekly The
Looking Glass. announced that
Sweeper II. the American colt,
which started favorite in the re-
cent derby, was doped before the
race.
significant fact in connection
with the dope story was that H. x.
Duryea dismissed Danny Maher
who rode Sweeper II. and en-
gagged frankie O'Neill, another
American boy. to pilot Sweeper II
in the remainder of his stake en-
gagements.
An investigation shows that in
the opinion of a large number of
racing men Sweeper II was. doped.
Duryea's trainer is unable to ac-
count for the miserable showing Of
the colt, 1t is suspected that two
or three booknakers VINO stood to
lose fortunes on a Sweeper II vic
tory know more about the doping
than they would care to say.
II was certain that when Sweeper
II left his stable for the big race
he was never filter. When he re-
turned to his stall after the derby
the colt was listless and feeble.
He wasa kept in the stable until
: Saturday. when he was taken out
for an exercise canter. He moved

shot out like an arrow to beat cas-
lily horses that defeated him in the
derby.
In the derby, Maher said that
Sweeper II moved as if the exer-
ton of racing were hurting him.
Maher said, He never could go
with his field" At no point in the
race did the American colt hold
winning chance.
That this scandal may ever be
probed to the bottom is problemati-
cal. Such things occur on the Eng
lish turf, though seldom in connec-
ton with the derby. That supine
body the English Jockey club,
which refused Richard Croker per-
mission to train his horses at New
market. never takes any notice of
anything. Herman B. Duryea, who
does not take much interest in
English racing and dislikes pub
licity. will not press or demand an
inquiry.
