Trainer Ed Hefner Puts Win
ner Across in Manhattan
Race at Belmont Park,
PUBLIC PLAYS PURDY

New York. Sept. 13.-The Finn was add
ed to the Manhattan Handicap at Bel
mont Park today and The Finn came
home with the bacon, therefore immedi-
ately after the finish Ed. Heffner, who
trains The Finn, toddled from the judges
stand to the Paddock all smoked up, for
he was vindicated. 1t seems that last
Saturday The Finn hooked up with Trial
by Jury and was beaten a head, though
he was far speedier. On that occasion
Heffner didn't hesitate 10 yell his friends
that he thought The Finn was a breeze.
Jimmie Rowe sent Purdy to the post in
the Thompson colors and Purdy was such
a hot tip and played SO steadily that the
price against The Finn ruled around 3 to
/. For a time in the race The Finn back
ers did not feel very well. for Purdy shot
to the front after a little squirt and en-
tered the home stretch a leader. But
Davies Strengthened out The Finn and
put the boots to him and the Ogden colt
got to the wire first
Quite a rout happened to the players
after the finish of the second race. when
Hansa came past the winning post in ad-
vance of Raconteuse. The latter was the
sizzling tip. and, after opening at to !,
ended at to ), and with very few of the
layers willing to ccept-wagers even at
those short odds. Hansa opened favorite
at to 5. but the smart people. knowing
she was punch fired and couldn't beat
Raconteuse, determined to get the winter
money by unloading on the latter. This
was Kansas first appearance under silks
and from the way she came down the
last quarter it kind of looks as the punch
firing did her good. Summary:
