OMAR HARTMAN LOOKS LIKE A
 SURE WINNER

Omar Khayyan, now in his 5-year- old form, is q larger and vastly more impressive looking horse than at any
 time in his career. It may be that he is not any higher than he was last year, but he certainly seems to have Iengthened perceptjbly. while of his thlckening during his retirement there can be no possible doubt. In short, he is a grand looking race horse, and no one can possibly doubt that he has grown much heavier than he ever has shown at any time since the day hel anded in this coun- try fresh from the Newmarket year ling sales. His eyes are bright, he is playful as a kitten (and considerably rougher in his methods). and in all respects, including his fine silky coat he looks an ideal thoroughbred in perfect health and spirits. Last Fri day McNaughton told the boy on this horse to let him go along a mile in 1-:5o. but although he was hard held and swinging" all the way, his trainer timed him in 1:46. while oth- CTS made it a second later.
 Westy Hogan, the brown 5-year-old horse, by Dick FinnelI out of Carrie Jones. who looked somewhat light waisted and slender toward the end of last sea son. has grown and filed out beyond recognition. Never a tall horse. he has grown to be one of enormous substance without losing anything of his splendid racing angles He has taken on a great lot of weight hut with it an abundance of muscle to carry and drive it along in that dazzling flight of speed for which he always has been noted. He is a grand looking horse. his deep reddish brown coat fairly glittering in the sunlight; and there are not a few experienced trainers and owners at Belmont Park who unhesitatingly pronounce him the handsomest horse quartered at the big track. He breezed six fur longs last week in 1:18 and was un- der double wraps all the way.
 George Starr. the brown 4-year-old 1 gelding who was rated as the third horse in order of merit in the Viau 1 string last season. is another animal upon which Trainer McNaughton ap- pears to have worked wonders. for he, i too, has developed in a manner only 1

BIC ENTRIES
 RECEIVED IN
 6. 5. MEETING

Entry lists for Grand Circuits first six meetings show more than satis- factory returns, with a total of over 500 from the North Randall opening to the first Eastern meeting at Bel mont Park track, Philadelphia, with apparent assurance that the general average will be kept up through the entire racing season. judged, of course, not alone by the larger num- Der of horses than expected, but indd- vidual entrants, who as a rule insure large and 7ell-balanced fields of final Contenders.
 While the lists are large and pros poets look good, yet 1t is not surprls- ing to note that the far seeing track managers, who have not only experi- ence, but are able to survey the sit nation, are not as over-enthusiastlc over the returns as are outsiders who naturally judge matters by the pres ent figures without taking into con- sideration many unexpected incidents which directly affect present calcula- tions.

The L. Nj. C. will be represented in the reorganized Industrial League. This information the writer secured today from an unque stionably reli- able source. The entrance of this team into the already popuIar circuit practically assures it of successful season. for a more enthusiastic lot of baseball followers than those working at the T.. M. c. plant is difficult to find in this section.
 For weeks the officials of the h. Gustrtal League have been endeavo.- ing to induce the L. NJ. (. to enter team, but without successs. Yester- dal however, a grouV of the more enteFprising workers aJ the plant got together and after an hours meeting decided to organize a, team for the purpose of securing representation in the Industrial League. Another meet ing will be held probably on next Monday night when persons interested ID the project will be invited to be present.
 The next meeting of the Industrial League will bhe held next Wednesday when managers and captains and other officials of all the clubs so far franchises will bo in attend ance- A delegation from the IT. M. C. will in all probability be on hand.
 The election Of Pat Noonan as pres ldent of the Industrial League re- gently was q popular move and is  less than that indicated by Westy Hogan's appearance. At the end of last season he looked like a some what slender and delicate EeIding. but now he is exceptionally robust look ing like one of the stoutest and rug gedeSt of campaignerS
 Canaonfieuer now is a very racy nd handsome looking 3-year-old chestnut colt by Astronomer out of Penitence IT.. but when he first came into AIr McEaughton's NJ hands he looked rough coated and rather weedy. His is a dark, rich color, and now that he has been put in ideal condition, it looks wonderfully attractive. He must have put on nearly 30 pounds since he came to Belmont Park, and alto gether his improvement would seem incredible described to any one who had not seen him shortly after his arrival on Long Island. He looks handsome. racy, well balanced, Nery substantial and in perfect bodily 1 health.

The seemingly plentiful supply of trotters and pacers already engaged in early closing purses at first pay
 ment of entry fees is very liable to prove misleading to those who will take it for granted that the large lists indicate 2. satisfactory supply of the real racehorse, namely that COntin- gent of trotters and paCers which will not only train along to the entire sat isfaction of their masters to warrant the heavier entrance payments later on, but actually reach racing form as starters.
 The number of harness racing pro grams already announced and those promised fully indicate a great re- vival of racing sport all over the country as an after-war pastime, while the number anI value of purses leave no doubt of track managers confidence of not only filling them on ma paying basis, but give their Tace-going patrons high-cla-ss sport, but whether all these antiCipations will be realized is undecided enough for real enthuniasm.
 Trainer Ben White, who has more Fhigh-class candidates in his stable for the years leading features than any other, writes that he is getting ready to move from Macon, Ga, to TIexing- ton, the latter part of this week be- fore going to North Randall for his final preps. Unless all signs fail. it looks now as though Ben will figure prominently in all colt classics. He certainly has trained this winter more costly youngsters than any in years past.

For the second time within five years
the call money renewal rate yesterday
morning was per cent This proved to
We the high mark Of the day and after
money had hung at the 9 per cent. level
for two or three hours a very substan-
tial supply came into the market, and for
the remainder of the day 1t was lent at
8 per cent At the close OF the session
of the Stock Exchange there was q con-
siderable amount still |unient. That
amount was estimated as high as $751;
600, 900. Another feature of yesterdays
call money market was the compare
lively light demand. Only little more
than S23, 800 900 changed hands during
the five hours, trading against totals OF
s33 100000 to $40,000,000 on other days
within the last week. Yesterdays total
lending figure was the smallest for any
Gay of this month. It was pointed out
In banking circles that one reason for
the scarcity of call money In the morn
ing compared with its free Offering in the
afternoon was due to the fact that up
to about p. M. banks did not know to
what extent they might be debtors at
the Clearing House, and for that reason
felt It necessary to keep loans at q min
imum and prevent any unnecessary call
ing of loans should the amount Of this

pared with the previous nights close.
There were several considerations back
OF the suddenness of Steels awakening,
as II slumbered deeply during the hrst
two days Of this week and until yesterday
m!dmorning. One of them was the op-
timistic report Of the trade reviews, an
other the gradual petering out of the

ington that the peace treaty, with mild
reservations, will be signed by November
and that the railroad legislation will
be passed by Christmas These factors
and the one that several large corpora
tions, especially railroad corporations
ere in the market with big steel orders
changed sentiment on the market leader
from a passive to an active one. The
ease with which Steel common advanced
after It got through 108 attested to the
thoroughness with which the floating
supply around the 105 level has beer
cleaned up. Many forecasts of $3.50 fol

Motor Shares.

Studebaker rather took yesterday the
leadership of the motor group out of

mary reason is a short interest of 10000

fellow is cunning and which has been
crippled but not severely enough to
shake it out of the tree yesterday. This
short interest, held by one man, Is re-

more than 10000 shares the stock
