Only 3-5 Second Behind
Worlds Mark
By w. 7. Macbeth

Twenty thousand thoroughbred en-
thusiasts, one of the very biggest
crowds that had attended racing in
the East since the halcyon days of the
turf q decade ago, saw H. X. knapp's
splendid two-year-old black iilly Elfn
Queen win the rich Juvenile Stakes at
beautiful Belmont Park yesterday
afternoon. Had it not been for the
particularly threatening and oppressive
weather doubtless the greatest multi
tude that had watched racing in the
East in the past ten years would have
seen the daughter Of Disguise in her
popular victory.
For popular, indeed, was the tri-
umph of Mr.. Knapp's sleek filly, even
though she showed up very badly the

old colt. Lord Brighton, which was

Nearly Equals Worlds Record

distance over the straight course, held
jointly by the great Colin of James R..

there been anything in yesterdays field
to extend Elfn Queen there is little
doubt she might have hung up worlds

Now there is not much left to be told
of the race One familiar with the
sport can best picture it in his minds

AH Auto Races Postponed,
Are To Be Run Tomorrozg

Just before the postponement of the
auto races at the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway yesterday Ralph Mulford, the
dark horse of the big Hardness Handi-
cap, had crept up to even terms with
Ralph De Palma, who had been named
as the favorite for the event to-mor-
row. This switch in the opinion of the
followers OF the racing speed game
was due to the fact that Milford had
attained greater average speed than
any Of the others and also to the fact
snae MS handicap OF two minutes and
nve seconds seems too great to be over
come by either Louis Chevrolet or De
falma. The former is the driver on
the scratch mark, and the latter is
given time allowance of only one
minute and one second.
The delay in the decision of the
Hardness, which will be over a dis
tance OF 100 miles and for 100000 in
prizes ana bonuses, seems to have in
creased the interest in these events
which are undoubtedly the most i'm
portant IN the history of the auto rae
ing game in this country.
The disappointment Yesterday was
due to decision OF the Automobile
Contest Board that the slippery condi-
tion of the track would not warrant
the holding of the races. All of the
drivers were on hand and ready to
begin the thrilling grind, and Promoter
William b. Wellman was anxious that
the races proceed, but the element of
danger to the drivers was considered
by the auto authorities and o'clock to-
morrow afternoon was named as the
time for the big struggle among the
champions.
The original complement of cham
pion drivers, with the possible excep-
tion of one, will start in the. Harkness

Granbery Wins
mst Harlem
Yacht Race

War time yacht racing was attempted
on Long Island Sound yesterday under
the auspices Of ths Harlem Yacht Club.
1t was the first open regatta scheduled
by the Yacht Eacing association of
Long Island Sound since the United
States entered the worlds war. AL
though only eleven yachts raced, poor
for the small fleet than the fact that
the country is now at war.
Throughout the morning nasty
wind whipped down the Sound from
the east, kicking up a sea that was en-
tlrely too large for small craft. Owing
to government restrictions the courses
were all within East Chester Bay. In
side the bay the breeze was not so
strong, although it had enough body
to bury lee rails of the smaller craft
in true racing form.
The course chosen by the committee
made up of T. B. Bates, chairman;
]. J. Lyons and P. J. Fox, gave the
yachts a reach on the port tack, a
gybe and a reach on the starboard tack
and beat home.
G. P. Granbery's Anita won on both
actual and corrected time in the first
and second division of the handicap
class. II. w. FraSerS Slrene turned
the same trick in the third and fourth
division of the same class. Sirene also
won in the Larchmont interclub class.
F. J. Robinson's Mahaska was the
first home in the Manhasset Bay one

Hartley House Gets Second
Place With 81 to Win

BY A. c. C,avagnaro

"Rah! rah! rah! rah! rah! rah! rah!
Boys Club! Boys Club" was cheer
that frequently rent the air at the an
nual outdoor handicap track and field
games of the Intersettlement Athletic
Association, which were held at the
Brooklyn Athletic League Field yes
terday. The Boys Club adherents had
4 perfect right to be in this happv
frame OF mind as their athletes were
sweeping the boards in every event.
The fight for the team honors proved
repetition of what has been going on
for the past five years. From the
crack of the first starting gun it was
a procession of Boys Club representa-
tives home in first, second and third
places. so that at the end of the meet
they had complied an overwhelming
total of 70 points. This aggregate Of
points proved almost double the amount
returned by the track team Of Hartley
House. which was second with 81.
Conditions were strongly against the
accomplishing of fast time with the
ground dotted with water holes and
muddy, -.and the running track heavy
with rain However, under the cir
cumstance the performances in the
majority of the competitions were COM
mendable.
Harry Appel, a husky youth of the
Clark Neighborhood House and one of
the fastest sprinters of the associa-
ton, proved that he was mud horse"
IN winning the 100yard handicap dash
for seniors. Appel was back on scratch
allottlng liberal allowances to several
strong opponents. but apparently the
ground was to his liking, as he was
clocked in 104-5 seconds. He also
started in the 220-yard handicap senior
run from scratch, but over this lone
route he was unable to overcome the
tandicaps. Appel finished third but
was only five yards in the wake of the
winner.
