KREWER BEATS GOOD
FIELD AT JAMAICA.
Runs Away From Audacious
and Routledge-Duncecap
Wins Stake Race.
ny HENRY ". KING.

Sam Hildreth has made top notch
sprinter out OF Krewer. In the Claren-
don Handicap at the Jamaica track yes
terday afternon he showed he Is a colt
which will have to be reckoned with In
any kind OF company over sprint dis
tance and II would not be surprising
II he went on and gave a good account
OF himself over a distance Of ground.
He ran away from such good sprinters
as Audacious and Routledge and won
eased up by four lengths. Audacious
finished second "a head in front of Rout-
ledge.
AT no time during the race was the
result in doubt. Krewer took the track
at the start and without being urged at
any stage OF the journey led all the
way. Routledge followed him until the
last sixteenth. where Audacious came
with rush and got up in time to take
the second end OF the purse. The race
was at five and a half furlongs and
Krewer covered 1t in l :06 A strong
wind faced him In the run down the
backstretch. but 1t helped him wnen he
ran through the homestretch.
The feature was a selling stake for
two-year- -olds called The Montauk. r.
I. Wilson's Duncecap won II with Super
illusion second and Dolly Warden third.
That Duncecap won was due in great
part to the sterling ride he received from
Spencer Bullman. the second son or the
once famous Jockey who used to ride for
August Belmont. The little filly which
is by Olambala and Boody Is full
brother to SImpleton, the notorious
morning glory which ran for Mr..
Wilson two years-ago. Duncecap isn't a
morning glory" but she Is one of the
slowest breakers In training. For that
reason neither Mr.. Wilson nor Tom
Healey. her trainer, placed much conf
dence In her Each placed a small, SEN
tfmental wager on her and hoped for the
best
TrniIed Her Field for FurIong.
At the barrier the filly did as it was
expected she would do. Before the first
eighth of mile had been covered she
was in last place and in close quarters
next the rail- But this did not discour-
age young Bullman. He persevered with
her. He took her to the outside and
sent her after the leaders. Entering the
homestretch she seemed to have little
chance. Superillusion, Superman colt
owned by Charles Stoneham, with Joe
Mooney in the saddle, was stepping
along at fast clp half dozen lengths
In front OF her. When Strengthened out
for home Duncecap began to run. She
ground with every stride. A sixteenth
of a mile from home Superillusion was
leading by two lengths and appeared the
winner. Then Joe Mooney made the
fatal mistake OF looking around, for
Bullman caught him mapping, and
bringing Duncecap along with a rush
got her up to win in the very last stride.
So close was the finish that a major
ity Of the racegoers called II a dead
heat If Mooney had gone on about his
business instead of looking behind he
probably would have landed his mount
home in front.
A dozen royalty bred Juveniles went
forth to do battle in the final event but
It turned out 10 be one horse affair
Raising, which ITil1reth saddled for
Harry Sinclair, took the track at the
start and romped the remainder of the
way to win eased up by five lengths
Bud Fisher. which finished second, ran
good race. He left the webbing with
the trailers. but gradually worked his
way through the field and. displaying a
good burst OF speed in the stretch.
snatched second honors from June
Grass.
The start was not a good one, but
several OF the green youngsters in the
race propped as the barrier went up and
made II look worse.
