NO T|TULAR GAMES PENNANT HAS CLASS
Takes Up 1923 Pounds and
Wins Feature Race.
AGAIN BEATS LEOCHARES

Pennant, winner of the Futurity of
1918 for Harry Payne Whitney. came
back VERY adequately at Havre de.
Grace yesterday afternoon. and his
score in the susquehanna handicap
over the mile and seventy yards route
leaves no doubt of his class. He took
up 1913 pounds and raced the distance
in 1:42 3-5. but it was the character of
his victory and his gameness under
punishment that meant more than
either the weight that he carried or his
fleetness Of foot.
AS was the case in the running of the
six furlongs of the Philadelphia han
dicap. W. P. Orr's Leochares was the
one to race second, and the big son of
Broomstick never was better. Third

Starter Milton sent the field away in

Haynes in an effort to find a better po-
sition before the first turn was reached.
Both Tea Caddy and Flittergold beat
him to the corner, but he was going
very strongly after them. and had been
able to cross over slightly. and was not
far from the rail. Pennant. in the mid

Before the turn out of the back

time he wanted to, and it was there
that Robinson reused Pennant with the
whip. The son of Peter Pan had to be
sharply cut with the CAD three or four
times before he would respond, but he
finally settled down to running. and the
way he raced round his field under the

Jack Barry has set out upon his
career as major league manager in
a manner to give supporters of the
Red Sox no concern over the fact that
President Frazee failed to wheedle Bill
terests in Maine. Barry started under
a handicap that few managers break
ing in have to assume. Unlike Fred
Mitchell. with the Cubs. or Jimmy Cal
lahan. with the Pirates. Barry had no
opportunity to build up a combination
on which to stake his reputation as
pilot. He was bequeathed an outfit of
world champions. If he wins with
no more than he should do. but if the
Sox fail to finish on top he will come
in for much panning. Barry has
large sized task on his hands. No team
thus far ever has been able to win
world title three times in a row. De-
troit. in 1907, 1908 and 1909. won three
American League pennants In success
sion, but the Cubs twice and Pirates
saw to it that the Tigers did not land
the highest honors. Keeping an ag-
gregation of aging champions together
and firing them with enough new life
and ambition to maintain the pace at
which they have travelled for the past
two seasons is indeed a difficult task.
but one to which John Barry thus far
has proved himself equal.
The Yankee brigade. which Wild Bill
Donovan will usher into a series with
the Griffmen at the Georgia avenue
grounds Monday, is one regarding
whose prospects much difference of
opinion is entertained. In this city of
beans and learning a wholesome re-
spect is felt for the New Workers. who
twice came from behind and nosed the
Red Sox out of victories in their recent
