Roamcr vindicatcd public confidence
with his customary abandon. In his
last previous start, at Aqueduct, the
aged champion was beaten by both
George Smith and War Cloud. He lost
so the Maccmber colt thrilling brush
through the final sixteenth for second
honors on that occasion. For once in
his life Roamer was the outsider in
the betting in field of three horses.
He WAS sore and the public was aware
Of the fact.
Well. Roamer got even with War
Cloud yesterday. all right. The old
ccldinc wasn't bit sore. unless he
happened to be sore at War Cloud for
his earlier humiliation. And in his
equine heart Roamer should forgive
War Cloud now that it is all over. War
Cloud was not only shown up by Roam
er. but by Manister Toi as we'll. Most
every one thought Emil Herr had sent
the last mentioned to the post.for ex-
crcise and third money, after George
Smith and Corn Tassel had been
scratched
Herr Knew Something
Well, this fellow Herr evidently
knew something, for Manister Toi was
very prominent factor in the run
ming of the stake. He sent many
SILVER down the spinos of the faithful
who had backed old Roamer recklessly
at the short odds of l to 9. 1t wasn't
until the very last furlong that Schut-
finger was able to get up with the
early pacemaker, and even then the
hghtwcighted Manister TOT hung on
gamely TO the very end. 1t took all
Roamer and Andy Schuttinger both had
to cut down Manister Toi under the
excellent finish of Troise.
Troise evidently decided upon such
pace as would kill off the two great
stake horses that had to be beaten.
He crowded right out to the front at
the start, and before he hit the back
stretch had opened up lead of four
comber cclt. was evidently fooled by
the pace lie had War Cloud under
very strong pull for the first half mile.
When Schuttinger decided to go out
with Roamer for the pacemaker Lotus
let War Cloud down, but the colt
wouldn't respond.
Manister Toi meanwhile was flying

his best. Little by little he closed
ground. but it was a long and painful
process of whiting down the lead.
Turning into the stretch Roamer was q
length away. He caught Manister TOT
shortly afterward, but Manister fought
the issue manfully. nose to nose and
stride for stride right to the wire In
deed, Roamer, badly tired, had all he
could do to nose out the victory. War

The Lynbrook Selling Stakes, Of
$1,000, proved a mighty useful article
to the W. r. Coe stable. Uncle's
Lassie won the five and half fur
longs dash for two-year-olds, while
her stable mate, Star Realm, took third
money. R. T. Wilson, jr.'s Thistledon
placed easily Uncle's Lassie waited
on Thistledon till the last furlong, then
came on and soon outgamed the early
pacemaker.
And speaking of this same race, the
stewards overlooked lot that was
suspicious indeed to those who had
followed Jockey Lyke's effortsor
rather lack of effort-with Toto, the
favorite. Lyke was not ready for the
barrier, and it is true he was away
badly and suffered some interference.
But he didn't seem to care Il hang about
grasplng opportunity at the forelock
when the chance presented itself of
saving several lengths at the stretch
turn. Lyke see-sawed Toto all over
he track at this particular stage of
tho journey. The ride was so bad that
Lyke probably could not have gotten
away with it without explanation at
any but an Eastern track.
HOLSTER Wins Liberty Bond
Johnny Lotus won the Liberty Bond
Handicap with A. X. MacOmber's Hollis
ter. Johnny put up a million dollar
ride on this colt. HOLSTER was off
poorly. but Lotus worked him up
gradually and saved many lengths by
skimming through a hole at the stretch
turn. From there home he simply out
rode all the others.
Ina Frank doubtless was pounds the
best of the field and but for particular
ly poor racing luck would have won by
several lengths. This chestnut mare
drew the outside position in a field of
ten, was carried wide at the stretch
turn and then, Strengthening for home,
was confronted with a wall of horses
and unable to get through in time.
oalvestra, that followed Hollister the
snort way home, also saved many
lengths and nosed Ina Frank out of
the place.
