The third series OF the quadrangular

of the Public Schools Athletic League
took place at Van Cortlandt Park yes
terday. and the meet was attended by

which were divided int four groups and
Of that formidable list the best running
OF the day was shown by Gentle of
Stuyvesant. That hardy smooth moving
boy ran over the route in the good
time Of Is minutes 25 seconds, andno
only was It the fastest for the day, but

SO far. For nearly two miles of the
journey Mari of Erasmus Hall stuck
well to the Stuyvesant runner. but with
the finish in sight Gentle put on steam
and drew out from his opponent to win
by over 100 yards. This stirring contest
was in the fourth group where Stuy-
yesant accounts for the team honorS from
such sturdy rivals as ERASMUS Hall and
Commerce.
Another interesting tussle made it's
appearance In the second group where
Curtis, Flushing. and Bush wick fought
for both the team and individual honors.
Sulzbach and Greenberger OF Flushing
engaged in "A battle royal for every yard
of the course but toward the end Green
berger could not hold the pace and he
left Sulzbach to win by about twenty
yards. The ,atter's time was 10 minutes

time of the day. Good as was the work
of the Flushing boys In railing first and
second, 1t failed to win the team bracket
for their school, and Curtis won, leaving
Flushing and Bushwick to finish in the
order named.
There was considerable surprise when

Was 8 Years Old.
ny HENRY ". KING.

Buddy Ensor Is the Tod Sloan of the
turf. He has all the skill. courage
and other good qualities which made
Tod famous and few more. Since the
Saratoga meeting his riding has been
little less than phenomenal. Day in and
day out he has accomplished the seem
ingly impossible. Some racegoers say
he is uncanny. Others proclaim him a
wizard And a wizard with the reins
he seems to be. Time and again he has
won with horses which were not even
the third best In their races. Often
times he has brought home a horse a
winner to the great surprise of the
owner and trainer. At least a dozen
times within the last two months he
has won with horses which were alb
solutely unbacked by their stable con-
nections. And on more than one occa-
sion owners have asked him how he
did it,
To horsemen who have studied him
the answer to that question is the thor
ougnbreds like him and they fear him.
q. t.olneis and practical horsemen say
that some horses run better for some
riders than for others. But It seems
that all of them run their best for him.
He don't put up the kind of a finish
that made Snapper Garrison and John
ny Lotus immortal.
They 'batted'' their mounts home.
Ensor's method of finish is entirely diff
ferent He uses the whip when he
deems IL necessary. but he is of the opin-
ion that a clip or two OF the lash and a
strong hand ride produce as good re-
suits. That is Is the reason his finishes
are not so spectacular He rides with
his horse and his movements in the sad
die are in perfect accord with his,
mount. At the starting gate he Is as
alert as any jockey he knows the short
est way home. is not afraid of being
caught in a pocket knows the weak
nesses Of most Of his mounts and of
other jockeys mounts and is a good
judge of pace.
And since he began his great series
Of successes early in September he has
been studying the sport from all angles
He studies the past performances,
watches the morning trials and closely
scrutinizes all of the thoroughbreds for
defects. This helps him a great deal,
for in race he knows the horses to
fear and those not to fear. He knows
James Buffers East View is as fast as
any horse in training and he also knows
he is the rankest kind Of a gutter. And
when he is riding a horse In q race
against him he pays little or no atten-
ton to him. East View can open UP n
dozen lengths on him and he won't make
a move He knows the leader will come
back to him.

Called Tod Sloan.


Because of his skill and hard work he
has become the Tod Sloan of the turf
He has thousands of followers who
wager on his mounts irrespective of
form" And among these followers are
men who are successful, practical horse
men. They know he Is great Jockey
and they realize that owners and train
ers who believe their horses can win
are always anxious TO get good Jockeys
and that therefore Ensor gets the choice
OF the mounts.
And all OF those who have followed
him since the Saratoga meeting have
reaped harvest. From the opening
day at Belmont Park on September 2
until last Friday the youngster had 1856
mounts and he guided SO of them to
victory. This gives him the unprece-
dented percentage of 446 per cent. iss-
sides these SO victories he finished sec
ond more than a score of times and on
only a few occasions was he out of the
money. The odds on his mounts ranged
from l TO 10 to 10 to /. A flat wager
on him OF $40 to win every time he had
a mount would have netted a profit of
s940, and like amount wagered across
the board on his long shots. as well as
the regular flat bet, would have melted
three times that amount.
Personally Ensor is a peculiar lad.
His Christian name is Lavelle. but there
probably are not dozen racegoers In
the country who know Il. That Is be-
cause the young jockey doesn't want
any one to know 1t. My name is Bud
dy." Is his answer TO all inquiries about
his name. When pressed he refuses
point blank to tell IL. He doesn't like
his name and requests even his most
intimate friends to address him orally
and In writing as Buddy. And at times,
until his recent reinstatement, he was
as wild as hare. He used TO frequent
the White Lights night after night. and
was az we'll known among the lobster
palaces on Broadway an was Tod Sloan
when that famous Jockey was at the
zenith Of his career. @But despite his
wildness there never was any doubt
about his honesty. He often rode bad
races. but never did any fair minded
racegoer or honest horseman accuse him
OF anything bordering on crookedness.
AS for his truthfulness there Is no
doubt. He has a reputation of never
having told a le Time and again his
truthfulness has caused him to be fined
and suspended. hut II was because of
his truthfulness that he now has q
license. Every time he has been rein
stated II was because the stewards Of
the Jockey Club remembered his truth
fulness and rewarie ed him for II.

The general appearance Of wo-
