DODGE TAKES
SPURS MEASURE
in THE SARANAC
Butler Horse Is Crowded
Back After Start-Pan
Maid Wins.

Saratoga. N. Y, Aug. 15.-J. s.
Wards Dodge, winner of both the La
tonia and the American derbies, made
his first Saratoga appearance this
afternoon in the mile of the Saranac
Handicap and took the measure of
James Buffers Spur, recent winner of
the Travers and generally conceded to
be the best three-year-old in the East.
While it was a well earned victory
and one Of which the West might we'll
feel proud, Spur was in no measure
disgraced, for he met with a deal of
misfortune in the running, and at the
end he was catching Dodge At every
stride. Had the route been stretched
to mile and furlong Spur would
have been the winner.
Dodge was never far from the pace
all through the running, while Spur
was crowded back right after the start
and forced to race around his company.
Through the stretch he came with r
mighty rush, but Dodge was too good
through the final furlong.
the second best race of the day there
was CONSERVATION in the stands and on
the lawns when placing judges declared
Pan Maid winner over Coming Tower
and Hauberk. To almost every one ex-
cept the judges it seemed evident that
Coming Tower had won, with Hauberk
second and Pan Maid third.
Before the races there was sale in
the paddock of the French thorough
breds imported by Delbert Reiff
Twenty-four went under the hammer
for the excellent total of s40,025, an
average of $1,G67 Willis Sharpe Kill

The second best price was $4,000 by A.
K. Macomber for lie Chevesne, a two
year-old son of Arc de Triomphe and
La Cagoule. The Greentree Stable

TO PROVIDE TOWS
FOR BIG REGATTA

Following a custom established sew
eral years ago, the Atlantic Yacht Club
will provide towing accommodations
for all Long Island Sound yachts that
are to take part in the annual regatta
of the big Sea Gate organization. On
Sunday, August 20, at 2 p. m, a tow
boat will leave City Island, which will
bring ell craft to the lower bay with
out charge.
The Atlantic club has arranged for
a tow to leave Sea Gate in time to get
the yachts back on the Sound for the
New Rochelle race, and for another to
leave after the regular Saturday event
on the lower bay. Many of the Long
Island Sound yachtsmen have planned
to take part in the race around Long
Island, that will start off Sea Gate on
Saturday, August 26. The ocean brush
will finish off the New Rochelle Yacht
Club.
The course that will be sailed is the
one made famous by many race for
the Deep Sea Challenge Cup Of the
Brooklyn Yacht Club, trophy that is
now held on Long Island Sound.

A uniform set Of rules pertaining 10
the registration Of athletes in the
various associations will be one OF the
strongest amendments to be urged for
abolition at the annual meeting of the
Amateur Athletic Association to be
held in December. This change was
deemed necessary after an exchange
Of correspondence between the local
and Central Association recently. The
latter's application blanks for regis
tration contain no query as to wheth-
or an athlete had ever represented
club in competition, thus leaving
loophole open for suspended or ex-
PEELED runner to acquire a card IN an
other part of the country.

The annual invitation golf tourna-
ment at the National links, near South
ampton, Long Island, will begin to-
morrow and continue throughout the
remainder of the week. This event will
be followed with great interest because
of the bearing it may have on the ma
tional amateur championship TO be held
at the Merton Cricket Club course,
Philadelphia, the week of September 4
to 8, inclusive.
While it is unlikely that the ma
jority of those stars likely to feature
the later classic will take part in the
competition at the Shinnecock links,
enough of the talent of this vicinity
should be on hand to give some line as
to the form of the metropolitan play
ers who are schooling themselves for
the more important event at the
Quaker City.
In the opinion of many of the ex-
perts the National course is bit too
difficult to furnish correct line on
form. 1t is nevertheless true that
wizards of the wood and iron regard it
as the finest medium of preparation for
stiffly contested championship. The
course, patterned by the famous archi-
tect G.. B. Mcdonald, presents all the
hazards and difficulties of the most
famous holes of Europe's most noted
courses. AS d pure and unadulterated
test of skill, the National stands in a
class by itself so far as this country is
concerned.
Oswald Kirkby, winner at the Ma
tional last year over Nelson Whitney,
the Southern champion, is expected to
tee off tomorrow. Eben Byers, of
Pittsburgh, former amateur champion;
Fred Herreshoff, Gardiner White, Phil
Carter, Henry J. Topping, John NJ.
Ward and Reginald Lewis are all ex-
pected to compete. Herreshoff has
played fine golf this year. He was
runner-up to Oswald Kirkby at the
metropolitan championship, held at
Nassau.
Max Marston, last years champion Of
New Jersey, who lost the title this
summer after a forty-hole battle with
Kirkby at Englewood. may not be seen
at the national invitation tournament.
MGrston and Hamilton Kerr are en-
tered for a tournament at Great Bar
rington, Mass, which conflicts with the
Southampton attraction.
This tournament at the National Golf
Links is the first to be held in the met
lopolitan district since the one OF
Sleepy Hollow, ending July |. 1t marks
the end of golf vacationings. IL is,
therefore, all the more important at
this time, coming as it does after the
players have been more or less under
cover for several weeks, as a means
Of getting some sort of line on at least
part of the probable field in the ma
tional championship.

Club. of Milwaukee, or Friday and

Sprinters and Cmders

spicuous at the Diocesan Union games
at Newark on Saturday. Mike j.
DOYLE, of the Tabs displayed won
derful speed, particularly at the start
when he would pick up tremendous
amount of ground on his rivals by a
lightning jump off his mark. A poor
track proved no detriment. William
II. Goodman, miller, with proper
guidance, should prove a fast man at
the distance.
The time limit for the receiving Of
entries for the senior Metropolitan
Association championship games,
which take place at the Brooklyn Ath-
letic Field on August 26, expires to-
night. Probably not more than
two dozen have been turned in,
but track captains of the various clubs
will turn them in by the handful to-
day. The individual blanks will be
approved by the committee, which
convenes tomorrow evening.
Diamond scarf pins as prizes are re-
sponsible for the large entry received
for the postponed games of the Salem
Crescent Athletic Club at Lenox Oval
next Saturday afternoon. The best
men in the local district will be on
the starting mark in each event, the
100 and 300 yard runs, having Roy +.

door champion, on the back mark.
