He was meeting what generally was
supposed to be four of the leading two
year-olds of the season in August Bel
mont's Libyan Sands and Friar Rock,
Clifford A. Cochran's Prince Of Como
and the Beverwyck Stables Lera Misha,
and vet he stood then on their heads'
as the saying goes, and left them noun
dering and beaten so many lengths thaI
thew looked like cheap selling platers.,
r. T. Wilson's Ormesdale beat Paddy
Whack in their last meeting, but II IS a
grave question whether Ormesdale or
anv other two-year-old could have beat
en- the son of Celt yesterday. lie car
ried only 105 pounds, and must yet
prove his worth under weight, the true
test of q thoroughbred, but for the
present at least he must be classed IN
tbe front rank. He is a good looking
colt and a we'll bred one, so that his
next appearance will be awaited with
interest.
Mr.. Belmont's Libyan Sands and Friar
Rock were generally thought to have
the race at their mercy, but ten jumps
after the start they might just as well
have been in the barn, for any chance
thew had. The speedy Prince Of Como
kept pace with Paddy Whack 10 the
head of the stretch, but then gave up
the struggle as a bad job, so that Mr..
Buffers horse came galloping away TO
win, eased up, by ten lengths in the
fast time of 1907, only one second be-
hind the track record. The perform
ance was impressive, to say the least.
II Lena Misha, which ran such a
brilliant race in winning the Juvenile
Stakes at Belmont Park, is suffering
from a splint or some other leg all
ment, as has been reported, II seems
a mistake to race him. If not, the King
James colt was simply a fash in the
nan. He had lot Of weight up yester-
day. as compared with his opponents,
but weight will not dull the speed OF
really good horse for part Of the jour
new. at least, and Lena Misha was bad
iv outrun from the first jump.
Sam Hildreth started another OF the
Belmont two-year-olds in the first race,
a chestnut colt called st. Rock, by
Rock Sand-St. Priscilla, and hence a
half brother to Stromboli. News of his
fast work in private was on every,
body's tongue, but he ran greenly and

Brady's afternoon round, contain

brilliant an exhibition rs has been seen
in this vicinity in a long time. The
first hole is over a quarter Of a mile
long, yet Brady's second shot was so
close up that he sank the putt for 3.
He brought off a longer one on the
next green for his three spot but the
next one at the third was 10 be ex-
pected After going out in 81 the VOL
stOn man made a shot at the twelfth
hole that made the spectators gasp.
He had pulled his drive behind big
maple tree. In fact, the ball was so
close that il didn't seem possible for
him 10 get over. Brady, however took
a chance, and laying his mashie nib
lick well back popped the Rubber core
almost straight in the air, clearing the
tree and dropping 20 the green not
more than eight feet from the cup. lie
sank the putt for 3.
Referring 20 the incident afterward,
Brady remarked that he guessed that
was the best shot he ever made in his
life. He spoiled his chances Of a 70
or a 50 by taking six at the hiteenth
hole. D..

knce-hich underground he thumped the
hall almost straight up, dropping II

served TO break the record IN place or
merely finishing IN tie.
Ten strokes back Of the leaders,
Francis Ouimet has a long, hard march
ahead TO finish in front. The young
Massachusetts star has never been able
10 get going at his best clip, having
fallen into one Of those moods whlch
strike them all, where nothing goes eN-
actly right for any consistent stretch.
SO far he has missed the inspiration
which frequently comes 70 his ald, put
he isn't the type to ease up until the
last putt is down, and he may yet hnlsh
in tho first five. The same is true OF

Gil Nichols showed the effects OF TOO

playing super-golf for the last two
weeks A brilliant streak Of this sort
only lasts so long, and after that a

been held two days sooner Nichols
might now be open champion. But as
Golf form is rated as "the brief interval
between getting ready and going stale,
there is no one to tell just when this
brief interval will be at is maximum
scoring power. -
For Hagen, Evans and Ouimet this
"interval" must strike with considera-
bic force. to-day, 70 bring them back on

II looked from the stand as IL War
rington, on Hands OF, interfered with
him in the run up the backstretch in 4
way to throw him out of his stride for
a moment, but this was not substan-
tiated by the patr,l judge. In my
case, st. Rock, after beating the bar

mile, gradually dropped out Of it in the
stretch. He is considered a good colt
and is sure to improve with more rae
ing experience.
Woodford Clay, the popular sports
man of Kentucky, was at the track re-
newing acquaintance. He plans to
stay East until the Saratoga meeting
is over.

Some Impressions Cleaned
byFollowing Stars Over
Links in Play for
Open Title.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

This country is not only unprepared
FOR war. but quite q section Of i is not
prepared TO follow a golf match. stray
crouDs of tens, dozens and hundreds
wandered over the course at Baltusro.
Yesterday, paying little attention TO
the plaintive cries Of the contestants
who were al times forced to shoot
over. under or around the scurryiug
human frame.
Here is one example; Coming 10 the
eighteenth hole in the forenoon Chick
Evans had a 4 for 7O-and the course
record Il isn't hard and Il fairly
probable 3 as he was going. But al
the top Of his swing some frenZleo
spectator ran directly back OF him
across the tee, spelling the shoot and
coetino a sand the best chance yet
10 break a II, which several tied but
which none could beat.
There was a lot of discussion before
the tournament as 70 whether Evans
nv Ouirnet would come close 20 win
ming. But at the end Of the day
count Jerry Trayers not figured IN as
q medal star. was well in front Of both
with two great rounds.
The remarkable part Of Travers's
nIav was that he scored q 7G and Y
in spite Of some indifferent putting
II has been the general opinion that
Travers's putting held him so high up.
Vet In the forenoon he missed nine
NUTS OF less than eight feet and still
cot a 76. And in the afternoon he
missed at least three short ones and
landed y.
Travers was straight from the tee
and with few exceptions was deadly
with his irons, playing magnificently
probably the best medal golf he has
ever shown. II he had been putting
up 70 his usual standard, his oldtime
brilliancy, he would have been only a
stroke or two above 40 for the two
rounds.
