Stretch With Calantman

meeting Of the Saratoga Racing Asso-
cation Will be concluded tomorrow
afternoon with the running Of the
$4,000 Hopeful. the Saratoga Cup,
the For, Edward Selling Handicap
and three other races over tie flat.
THE Hopeful is one of the richest
and most dearly priced classics Of the
season in the Juvenile division and it,
resulr counts largely in the final
swsrd Of the two-year-old Champion
shin for the season. In the past in
many trimmings of this historic classic
mere have been fields of wonderful
h,iarce and class, but we. If any. ever

A Poor "Get-Away" Card
This Hopeful is the outstanding fea-
ture of getaway" day, for the rest
OF the card isn't much. Evidently
mos Of the horses have been shipped
TO Belmont PARK, for the other events
have failed TO fiji up to customary
closing day standards. Only Donna
coma and Exterminator have been
named FOR the Saratoga Cup, at mile
and three-quarters. 1t was expected
thar Smoke Screen would face the
issue. but he is being prepped for the
Iatoria Championship. Only FIVE have
been nominated for the Fort Edward
Handicap. and these of somewhat in
ferior class.
To-day's racing was scarcely UP
to Saratoga's standards, though the
running of the Albany Handicap, with
q guaranteed value Of $4,000, at three
quarters o. a mile, atoned in meas
ure for lack of class elsewhere. Only
four wo-yea--olds went to the post IN
