Briar Path Romps In.

Spectators were fortunate to get bet
ter than even money against Brian Path $
chances in the running of the two-year-
old dash, at five and one-half furlongs,
the opening number of the card. Lang
don'S youngster shot to the front at the
spring of the barrier and was never
compelled to exert himself to keep in the
lead TO the wire. Paris Queen was
slow TO get gong. but once started closed
big gap and finished a length and a
half back of the winner. The same ap-
piled to Ralph Lloyd, who got show
money by nose f. ON Captain Elliott
Elliott always figured in the early run
ming, but tired badly in the final drive.
The finish of the three horses back of the
winner was close.
The steep.echase was one of the best at
the track this meeting. The horses fenced
we'll and were punched during the greater
part of the two trips around. Patrons
seemed to flock to Raj PARIS Shannon
River, probably because Jockey Allen
was in the saddle. The move was a
poor one. because he did not finish in
the money. Prince Hampton and Lu-
cean, who won the other day at large
odds. furnished the pace. When it came
to a showdown Prince Hampton had
more run left and won by a length from
Lucean. Black Bridge was four lengths
back of the place horse. Lizzie Flat
bolted at the sixth jump.
The LARGEST field of the afternoon
started in the third event, which was
at six furlonGs. An even dozen horses
went to the post. Cherry Seed and the
favOrite, Rose Queen, set all the early
pace. but in the last furlOng Hoffman
got up and won by a length and a half
from the first choice. Oh cry Seed was
only a neck back of Rose Queen. There
were many supposedly hot tips on
number of good-priced h rses to run in
the money, hut they were classed as
also rams when the race was over.
In the running of the fifth event.
which was al mile and seventy yards,
the field was punched all the way. Irish
Kid was the favOrite and made good

NELSON MALONEY BOUT
WILL GIVE LINE ON "BAT'

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec. 10.-An ac-
curate comparison of the present boxing
abilities of Battling Nelson and Nd VOL
CAST can be made here Friday night.
after Nelson gets through with his six
round battle with Teddy Maloney, the best
lightweight developed in Philadelphia in
recent years Nelson and Maloney will
meet at the Olympia club under almost
the exact conditions which marked the
meeting between Maloney and Wolgast
in the same ring only few months ago.
Wolgast will have a slight advantage in
making the comparison, inasmuch as he
forced Maloney to make 1873 pounds at
the ringside, while Nelson is allowing
the local star TO come in at 1873 at s
o'clock. All other conditions are the
same.
Nelson is training at Jimmy Dougher-
tvs Colonial hotel, Crum Lynne, Pa,
working with two Philadelphia light
weights, id Beebe and Joe Ferguson.
The former lightweight champion of
the world is in splendid condition. and
is working perhaps harder than at any
time In his career. He wants to whip
Maloney decisively; something Wolgast
failed to do. The local boy obtained an
even break with Wolgast and on this fact
the comparison will be made. Nelson is
also anxious to test his drawing ability
as compared with that of Wolgast. and
has made several bets that he will play to
more money than did the Cadillac fighter.
