TWO SARATOGA
 TURF RECORDS
 ARE SHATTERED
Tuscaloosa and Jyntee Cut Fractions of a Second Off Sprint Marks for 51a Fur longs and Three-Q Quarters of a Mile, Respectively.


 track records were excelled at the famous course here yesterday after noon. Tuscaloosa, a two year old lilly owned by John Sanford, sped five aand a half furlongs in the Schuyler vile in the remarkable time of 1:04 3-5, which is two-fifths of a second faster than the mark established last week by Be Frank.
 In the Salem Handicap Lieut.. Ray mond Belmont's chestnut lilly Jyntee ran six furlongs in 1:10 2-5. This is one-fifth of a second better than the figures w. R. Coe's- Polymelian hung up here two weeks ago.
 The Schuylerville was the feature of the card. It was worth $3,O00 and attracted the nomination of nearly 100 fillies. Of these eleven were named over night to start and three, Passing Shower Lady Rosebud and Minuet, were withdrawn and Joyful and Flushing Beauty were added. Every one of the ten spirited misses had a host of supporters, but because of her wonderful race behind Be Frank last week Tuscaloosa was made the favorite at 3 to 2. From the instant the barrier was released there was no doubt about the result. Georgie Walls got Tuscaloosa away from the barrier on her toes and sent her skimming along the rail at terrific pace. Around the bend she opened up gap of two lengths, and al- though repeatedly challenged in the home stretch she increased her lead with every bound. Passing the judges she was eight lengths ahead of w. R. Goes imported gray lilly Herodias which beat home her stable mate Ter ! entia, length for place honors. Jyntee Runs Away from Field The Salem was for mares and fill lies three years old and upward, and | brought together nine speedy misses with the Folly Farms Kathleen, tor weight at 126 pounds. Notwithstand- ing she was giving away considerable weight by the scale to all her oppon- ents she was the favorite and heavily backed. Clifford A. Cpchran's i'll tenn pered lilly Fairy Wand also received | heavy support and went to the post 1 second choice.
 1 Jyntee had the most speed and quickly went to the front. She was followed down the back stretch by F. R. Hitchcock's Irene and Kathleen with the remainder of the field far in the rear and fighting for clear sail | ing. While making the turn Jyntee increased her lead to two lengths and then every stride brought her further away from her opponents. At the end of the journey she was half a dozen lengths ahead of Viva America, which beat Fairy Wand a short head fol place honors. Kathleen, a nose be- hind Fairy Wand, finished in fOurtt place.
 Although Jyntee ran a record break. ing race and deserved the victory and the record, a majority of the race. goers complained bitterly against MT Cassidy for placing Fairy Wand or the outside of the field. MT. Cassidy knows the mean disposition of MT Cochran's lilly and probably changed lher position to protect the other horse from injury, but majority of the ,crowd declared he acted too quickly that he should have given, her { chance to break before sending he to the outfield. As a result of he1 position Fairy Wand never { had chance. She was caught in a jam il hthe back stretch and unable to ge clear sailing until an eighth. of a mile from home. Then she ran faster thar any horse in the race, but the bes she could do was to earn the shor end of the purse.
 The riding of Lawrence Lyke o1
 Wingold in the last race aroused tn ire of the spectators. The skilful lat rode like a novice. Wingold, whicl
 was the favorite, was never a con
 tender and finished far in the ruck. Johnny Loftus has been reinstated The great rider who was punished b , A. K. Macomber, his employer, fo | bad stable manners and kept out o , the saddle for two months, will do , silks this afternoon on Mir. Macom , ber's Hand Grenade. Walter Jen
 nings, trainer of the Macomber horse. received word from MT Macombe
 yesterday morning to reinstate tn
 boy.
