this city, the scores being 6-4, @. G..
1t was an old story for Crane to be
beaten by Gould. for he has been the
challenger eight times in the last ten
Years and in no one of the matches has
he been able to take the championship
from the younger man.
Crane played finely in the tournament
at the Tennis and Racquet Club, and
when he came through with flying colors
1t caused no surprise. as he Is beyond
any question the second best player in
the country. Against the champion he
had little chance in the challenge match,
although his game was excellent.
Could was at top form, and after he
got fairly started in the first set the gall

Iron Duke Won't Enter
Kentucky's Great Derby

NEW YORK, April lc.-Iron Duke
and The Finn. recently purchased by
II. c. IiallenbcCk from John e. Mad
don for $35, 900 arrived at the Hallen-
heck fam in Shrewsbury on Saturday.
Both threC-year-olds stood the long
journey from Kentucky very we'll and
reached the training quarters in first
class condition. Ed IIeffner expressed
himself as being much pleased at their
condition and will begin preparing the
colts for their New York stake engage
mcnts.
1t is highly improbable that either
of the colts will be shipped back TO
Kentucky to fll their Derby engage
ments. Mr.. Halienbeck thinks highly
of their ability and does not care to
hurry their preparation for the 1915
campaign. He believes the Kentucky
Derby of May s will be a trying race
and does not care to subject either of
the three-year- to such task so
early in the season. Both of the colts
are eligible for the Metropolitan Han
dicap and will be pointed for this race.
