First Race Impresses.
PACE KILLS OFF HANSON

Greentree Stable. showed that all the
thr~ee-year-olds will have to reckon with
him at sprinting distances when he
picked up 11s pounds and won he Great

IA length In front Of Hanson
Etruscan. though taken with the rest
of the string to Saratoga, did not race
there on account Of the poor condition
of the track. Trainer Jimmy owens
maintained that he had one of the fast
est horses In training in the son OF
Burgumaster-Fiesole. and his dazzling
speed yesterday was proof that. he was
not far short of the mark. Hanson
meanwhile had run consistently In many
hard fought races and as the distance
was considered too short for Short
Grass the Parsons Splinter always was
an odds on favorite. Hanson was asked
to conccde two pounds to Etruscan. but
the others were treated lightly In the

Etruscan and took full advantage OF the
inside position by shooting to the front
and opening "A gap Of three lengths,
Hanson did his best to race up to the
reputation that had made him such "A
strong favorite. hut the pace st by the
leader was so lively that II was only
when nearing the stretch turn that Ham
son managed to work up within two
lengths OF Etruscan. The effort took the
heart out Of Hanson and when short
Grass came up to dispute second place
the fayorite had nothing left. Etruscan
was well in hand as he raced through
the stretch and WAS able to stall OF the
finishing squirt OF short Grass.
More than half Of those entered for
the Nassau Selling Stakes, at one mile,
were Withdrawn, and this left favor
itism so well divided between %. w.
Perry's Harry shaw and the Dneck sta
ble's Yankee Notions that both closed
at odd OF ? 10 /. Harry shaw. which
has had many different jockeys, was in
the hands OF Joe McCahey for the first
time. Joe used wonderful patience
while Harry shaw was showing on "A
mean streak that he has developed
lately and when they broke after a
long wait Harry Shaw got away well,
while Grosvenor, another disturbing rae
tor, was left. Yankee Notions led by
two lengths all the way dong the back
stretch. but Harry shaw began moving
up on the turn and had no difficulty in
passing Yankee Notions when McCahey
let him down In the stretch. Harry
shaw won by a length and a half and
Yankee Notions had to keep going TO
beat labor half a length for the place.
