Max HirSch'S Maiden Colt
Fools the Layers by Scor-
ing an Easy Win.
THE biggest killing Of the metro
politan year was accompli shed

THE biggest killing Of the metro
politan year was accomplished
in yesterdays final when Side
real, good looking son OF Star
Shoot-Old Squaw, gdlloped home
under the Mix Hirsch colors. to the
joy OF a wise delegation who took ad
vantage OF the much abused turf
axiom that "a maiden belongs to his
owner"
Sidereal had been carefully nursed
for the killing. During his brief turf
career he had started three times and
was always beaten off, but by stake
colts and fillies. On none of these
occasions was there ever any evidence
IN speculative circles that Sidereai
amounted to anything, so that when
his name appeared in yesterdays
entries there was only passing notice
made OF it, and few unsuspecting
lawnites had the temerlty to quote as
good 5 30's against him.
They yentured without counting on
the cunning OF the Hirsch connec-
tions, who had taken advantage of
the crowds size to obtain permission
to have the colt race In blinkers for
the first time. Due notice OF this
was posted on that cute little black
board suspended under the Judges
stand, but owing to the congestion
few were ever in a position to note
the fact throughout The day. Com
m sSionerS acting for the owner or
the Redstone Stable made their ap-
pearance IN the ring few minutes
after speculation opened and wrote
sizeable wagers at odds as good as
ISIS. The weight Of these continued
to drive the odds down until at the
end they were begging for As, and at
this figure were difficult to obtain
for the reason that every layer found
himself "topheavy" at the more gen.
erous prices.
Eu,ii pped in his blinkers, Sidereal
was spared the sight OF the third rail
out on the Long Island tracks ana
other shocking evidence OF his pre-
Yous record as runner, and ne ~en'
in the lead in the final eighth to

duced some sckening eviden nee, ano
then the proof that fortune had peer
won on the suddenly awakened coit
1t was the biggest cleanup or the
year.
