ABad Mix-Up
In Fourth Race.
Defeats Flags
Fairy Wand Gets Beyond
Control-Max Meadow
Wins Steeplechase
By A. c. Cavagnaro

There was much gnashing Of teeth
after the fourth race at Belmont Park
yesterday when Flags. the public
favorite for the Autumn lightweight
Handicap, at six furlongs, was forced
10 trail home in the ruck. The trouble
was caused by Fairy Wand, which be-
came unmanageable in the hands OF
the dlminutive Jockey Willie Mldgley,
ir.. and for a moment threatened to
knock the other horses off their feet.
Jockey Midgley managed to regain
control Of Fairy Wand and get her
home in front, but the judges. after
hearing from several jockeys and
patrol judges, disqualified Fairy Wand.
This gave A. X. Macomber's Hollister
the winning position.
Flags was on the extreme outside
position, and during the first three fur
longs the field Of five horses swept
down the track close together, with
Fairy Wand slightly in the lead Pass
ing the third furlong post, Fairy Wand
suddenly swerved. humping into Papp
and Ina Frank, and, knocking them
back, proceeded to rush toward Flags
and carry him dangerously near the
rail. 1t was the quickwittedness Of
Jockey Larry Lyke that undoubtedly
save the life of Flags. for he pulled
uP ms CudiSc as + airy and race q
I madly on alongside the fence.
Although knocked out as a contender.
Jockey Lyke reused Flags and chased
Hollister, who had avoided the inter
ference by reason of the inside rail
position. and Ina Frank, who managed
to come on under hard urging by
Jockey Jack Hanover. Flags succeeded
in passing the finish line in third rosi-
ton. but the judges gave the place to
Papp, who was fourth.
The two-mile steeplechase for
maiden four-year-olds and upward
furnished many thrills. and also sorrow
for those who fancied one Of the
choices. Max Meadows. Mocassin Sd
(imp) and Toppy Nix were staging a
pretty fight for the honors when Toppy
! Nix first came a cropper This left
Mocassin Sd and Max Meadows to fight
II out. but Jockey Powers, on Mocassin
Sd, was sent hurdling over his horses
head at the second jump from home.
Max Meadows then went on unmolested
to win and get out of the maiden class
in her sixth year.
A. K. Macomber sent across another
winner in the sixth when War Kiss
stood hard drive gamely to win bv
