Scabbard Takes
SensationalR
AtDonganHlls

R. 7. Wilson's brown colt Scappard
scored his third victory in as many
starts when he defeated fast field IN
the second race at five furlongs in the
Staten Island Fair Grounds meet at
Dongan Hills yesterday. Scabbard
came through with a brilliant rush
down the stretch to win by head, but
was going away. Little Boy, who was
the second choice to Scabbard, pulled
down second honors a nose in front OF
Go To 1t. The finish was the most sem
sational yet seen during the meeting.
Scabbard, with Garrigan up, laid be-
hind Go To 1t and Little Boy, the pace
makers, until rounding the last turn,
when Garrigan made his bid forward.
Scabbard replied like the speedy colt
he is, and, making up the three lengths
of daylight, rapidly overlook his rivals
down the stretch. The chances of
Scabbard were well liked by the major
itv of the several thousand spectators
on hand, and Garrigan was applauded
as he unsaddled at the stand.
Outsider Wins Fourth
Eddie T., dark horse, ran rough
shod over his field IN taking the fourth
race. at one and one-sixteenth miles.
The residents about the grounds prof
tied by the victory of Eddie T., as Mrs.
T. Trovato, the owner, passed the word
around that her gelding would win.
Eddie T. took the measure of SIX
horses, which included Brooks and Ed
Bond, the public choices. Eddie Tap
lin, who had the mount on Eddie T.,
followed the pace until rounding the
far turn. when he sped by Scarpia ii
and went away to win by two lengths.
Brooks gained second place, with Pres
ton Lynn third.
Jockey McGraw added to his many
winnings during the meeting when he
piloted home three winners. His first
victory came on Margaret l.. in the first
race, which the latter won as she
pleased. McGraw was again first over
the line with Masque in the third race,
in which he showed the way from the
barrier. He ended the day in fitting
manner by rushing home Cousin Dan
in front in the fifth race, getting up in
the last few strides to beat Teetotal
and Daybreak in blanket finish.
