Event Going to War Club

Mudlarks had an inning at the En-
pre- City track yesterday afternoon,
for the course was of the consistency
OF molasses in January and there was
little wonder over the fact that form
got severe drubbing.
AS might be expected, there were
many keen disappointments, but no M
set IN the history of the turf ever called
Iorth such popular resentment as was
expressed by the public generally over
the horrible showing of e. Utterback's
aged bay gelding Wodan in the third
race.
Wodan, which was an odds-on choice
and one of the most heavily supported
OF the tantalizing afternoon, never
once figured from start to finish and
ran last in field of four all the wav.
somehow the great majority of the
patrons got it into their heads during
the running of this race that Rod
rlguez was not trying.
Kissed and Booed
For five minutes after the finish.
whlle Rodriguez was paradinn back to
the judges and weighing in, he was
roundly Kissed and booed by the angrv
supporters of Wodan. Indeed, men
aclng demonstration was made against
the rider and the Pinkertons were kept
busy splitting out the ringleaders.
10 say that Rodriguez's handling of
Wodan was unsatisfactory is only com
plimenting this rider. TO those who
watched the race close it seemed the
boy made absolutely no effort at any
stage of the journey until we'll in the
stretch, when it was too late. Wodan
finished out like a horse that hid
plenty left; he was full of running at
the end. 90

Stars of America .4s
Gather at Cambridge To-day

to go to the Olympiad. For the first
time the army and navy sent specially
selected and trained teams, making
available several men likely to win or
to press the leaders.
Joie Ray, crack miller of the Illinois
A. c., after stepping in lively fashion
around the Tech track, said he would
run tomorrow in the trials Of the
half-mile run, would seek further
honors in the mile on Saturday, and
would make formal request that his
time be taken at 1900 meters in the
course Of the mile race so that he
might have an opportunity to set
new record for that distance.
The junior events of tomorrow will
bring into action a few of the higher
ranking athletes, but because they
will have no bearing in the selection
of Olympic representatives.. many ath-
letes said they would save their ef-
forts for the senior competitions.
These will begin tomorrow with trials
in the 100 and 22o yard dashes,, 44o
and $50 yard runs. and the 440-yard
hurdles

War Club headed Porte Drapeau.
George w. Lofts Halu won the Fri
vollty Stakes, for -year-olds, at five
and a half furlongs, the feature Of
the program. 1t was a very popular
victory, as he was the only winning
favorite. Eye Opener stole long
lead at the start, but Barrett worked
up slowly on the outside. On the far
turn he went after the pacemaker and
came away to win as he pleased.
Upset in Closing Race
Jockey J. Zoeller won the riding hon.
ors, scolang brackets with each of his
two mounts. He was responsible for
quite an upset in the closing race
when with Ballybell he beat out Flib-
bertygibbet by head on the post. Flib-
bertygibbet was very heavily supported
and with an even break in the racing
luck would have won handily.
The favorite was carried very wide
at the stretch turn by indian, the
early pacemaker, Zoeller sneaked
through on the rail, saving half a dozen
lengths, and was in front of Flibberty-
gibbet before Rice awoke to the danger.
Teddy went to the whip too late,
though he certainly would have won in
another stride. Scotch Verdict, which
finished third would probably have won
or been right there at the finish had he
not been slammed back shortly after
the start.
The Ballybell-F libbertygibbet finish
was the only exciting one Of the day.
Jeff Livingstones Oriole spreadeagled
the field of ten good two-year-olds in
the five and half furlong dash that
started the fun. The Kilrane Stables
Irish Dream repeated the same tactics
in the second event, at a mile and sew
