MIDWAY VICTOR IN
NATIONAL HANDICAP
Beats Exterminator by a Nose
at Laurel-Carman Quits
Beach Stable.
Special Despatch 10 The Sun.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 31.--Laurels six
teen day meeting ended to-day with
fitting climax in the shape of ding
dong finish between Midway and Ex-
terminator for the National Handicap.
The struggle was a heartoreaking affair
over the one mile and furlong route
and went to Midway by a nose.
Old Bill Knapp. the hero of many
hard fought battle in the saddle. was
caught mapping by Thurber the rider OF
Midway Knapp had a slight lead with
Extei minator al the end OF three fur
longs. Instead of taking the track he
pulled out from the rail. Thurber. rcaliz-
ing the advantage, slipped Midway
through the opening. Both horses then
started to sprint for the lead. and they
raced nose and nose to the finish.
Albert Simons is slated to replace
Richard Carmen as the trainer Of the
Beach Stable. The change will become
effective in a few days. Carman was
responsible for the organization OF the
Beach Stable. BY his advice sunny
Slope was purchased for $4,000 and
Flags for $4,000. Sunny Slope won two
races and then spread hoof, He is now
in retirement. Flags won a race to-day,
beating Bulse after oonceeding him thir-
ty-one pounds.
This has been nm unfortunate year for
Carman despite the fact that he won n
number of races with his own horses
He lost his job as trainer Of Omar
Khayyam and Westy Hogan last spring
when Sandy McNaughton replaced him.
Simons has trained the second division
OF Harry Payne Whitney's thorough
breds for several years. The results:
