By w. ]. Macbeth

The Fleeing Handicap, at about six
furlongs, was the feature Of yesterdays
racing program at the Empire City race
track and It's running proved a real fea-
ture In everything the name Implies.
The victory, which was worth s4,2s0
70 the winner, was won by the Rancocas
Stables Dominique in just about the
most sensational finish a New York
crowd has ever seen on any track.
Arewer, also of the Raneocas Stable,
finished second and the Redstone
Stables Gladiator, third. The three
were necks apart. J. Z. Widener's old
Naturalist, the only other starter, came
IN quarter of mile behind the others
he was sulky, baked at the post and
refused to break.
This was one of the keenest betting
races of the season. The Sinclair
Hildreth millions seemed to be be-
hind Rancocas: the Rothstein money
behind Gladiator. Naturalist command
ed heavy play early. He was ridden
by Clarence Hummer and backed by
Sande McNaughton, who trains for the
foreign stable for which Hummer rides
But the Sinclair Hildreth Rothstein
millions fractions thereof dropped
into the laps of the oralists so quickly
.
8 to to 2 II to l. The race was An epic
as run. Had Naturalist been sweet
tempered it might have been saga.
A Man o War Thrill
Sam Hildreth declared to win with
off Dominique-but Buddy Ensor, who
was subbing for Earl Sande, indis-
posed, drew such a clever finish with
Gladiator that he fooled even Laverne
Fator. The latter came with a great
rush on Dominique through the last
furlong, when it appeared a battle to
the death between Krewer and Gladia-
tor, and beat out both of them. Domi
nique's Man o. War-like finish furnished
a thrill of lifetime.
The start was perfect save for Nat
uralist. The Hildreth pair raced nose
to nose to the first turn with Gladiator
about length and half behind.
When Keogh moved up to the outside
with Gladiator, Fator Immediately took
Dominique off the pace and dropped
back a couple of lengths.
Gladiator soon hooked up with
Krewer, though he never was quite
able to come to even terms. Around
the last half of the bend and through
the top of the stretch the Redstone
Stable star crowded his muzzle to
Krewer's saddle girths. Ensor piled
the whip outside the eighth pole. This
is when Fator decided it propitious to
act.
A Blanket Finish
Down the stretch came Dominique,
Irresistible as a Man-o'War. He was
five lengths behind when Fator called
upon him; with every stride ne ap-
peared to- close the gap by yard. At
the sixteenth pole Krewer seemed
doomed, for Gladiator was gaining inch
by inch. Through that final sixteenth
Ensor and Keogh called upon every art
and artifce of their brilliant expert
ence. Their mounts seemed straight as
strings, but Gladiator was being held
safe. Through the last fifty yards it
appeared very much as if Ensor may
have had more in reserve than Keogh,

we're blow to the hopes of the Oxford

to have slight edge on Yale and Har-
Ward in the impending international
struggle. The former Tiger star

he bids fair to make things mighty un-
comfortable for Tolbert and Jordon, Of

however, has done "A feet 3h inches,
and appears to be the logical winner.

Rancocas pair, that took first and Sec

The Rancocas Stable scored another
double, and Fator, who easily won tina
riding honors, had the leg up on both
winners. With Timbrel he won the
fifth race at five and half furlongs
for cheap -year-olds, coming to the
outside. Timbrel was so much the best
that the 1 to laid against him was
long price.

Carpenter, Off To-day, to
Stay Away 2 Weeks; Big
Bouts at Ebbets Field
By Jack Lawrence

Georges Carpentoer the conquered
but unfallen ring idol of France, will
sail from these shores to-day at noon
on board the French liner La
Savoie. With him will go his manager,
M. Francois Deschamps and Charley
Ledoux, the bantamweight champion Of
Europe, who was beaten by Joe Burman
on Tuesday night at the Boxing Drome
in the Bronx.
Carpenter and his manager expect
to return to New York in four or five
weeks to begin preparations for the
French BOXERS next fight, which is
scheduled to take place at Boyle's
Thirty Acres, Jersey City, on October
IL. This is the same arena and the
same ring in which Georges fell before
Jack Dempsey on July 2, after four
rounds of terrific milling.
At Tex Richards headquarters in
Madison Square Garden last night it
was unofficially stated that Carpen-

Tom Gibbons. Richard, who promoted
the Dempsey Carpenter fight, refused
to verify this assertion, although he
did not deny it.
The French champion left his Long
Island training quarters 1t Manhasset
late yesterday afternoon with Des-
champs, Ledoux and Gus Wilson, his
trainer. They had dinner in a hotel
here and then went to the Garden,
where they were the guests of Richard
at an aquatic show put ON by the latter
as a sort of farewell ovation.
The farewell demonstration planned
to take place to-day on Pier 81, North
River, whence La Savoie sails for
Havre. will probably transcend any
fighter in the United States. A num-
Der of French societies here are max
ing arrangements for the send-off, and
according to statements of those in
charge it will be second only to the
reception being arranged for the
fighter when he reaches Paris.
Carpenter hopes to spend two weeks
with his wife and daughter in Paris,
but if ship schedules interfere with
this his visit may be cut short in
order to enable him to return here in
time 10 put IN training period OF
proper length.
The international Sporting Club, for
which Tex O'Rourke is the match
maker, has taken over the boxing de-
partment of Brooklyn's greatest base
ball plant, Ebbets Field, and will stage
it's first big show there on the night of
July 25. The star attraction of this
program will bring together Pete Her
man and Joe Lynch in battle for the
bantamweight championship of the
world.

BANDS REVEAL QUEER
HOMING INSTINCTS OF
COMMON WILD BIRDS
(Rv The Associated Press.l

URBANA, H., April Though
many birds from this section MI
CRATE as far south a Central and
South America, it has been found by
actual test that many of them return
to the same localities and sometimes
even TO the same nest.
Results of inquiry in the Middle
West and South covering number OF
years are reported by Frank Smith,
professor of zoology at the Univer-
sity of Illinois, in the annual Illinois
Arbor Day and Bird Book.
Facts were obtained by trapping
birds, placing small leg bands on
them and letting them 90. Here are
some Of the things Professor Smith
records:
A catbird banded near Cleveland,
o., in 1914 was retaken in the same
locality the following year Two cat
birds banded in 1916 were retaken
in 1917. and one of them was again
taken in 1919. Catbirds winter as far
south as Panama.
A chimney swift banded in 1916,
was retaken in the same chimney the
following year. Chimney swifts win
ter wholly south Of the United States
A tiny house wren banded in 1916
and found 10 be using the same nest
box that ii had occupied the preced-
ing year, in rearing its second brood
of that summer. House wrens winter
in the south Atlantic and Gulf states
Tests at Thomasvile, Ga. with
birds classed as winter residents"
because they fly into the northern
states and into Canada during the
summer mcnths showed these re
suits:
Eight chipping sparrows banded IN
1916 were all rctaken in 1917. Three
chipping sparrows were retaken IN
1917 that had been banded in 1915
Several myrtle warblers and white
TIN Dated sparrows banded in 1910
were retaken the following year.

DUTCH MUNICIPALITIES
BREAK HIGH PRICES

AMSTERDAM, April s.-A num-
ber of Dutch municipalities, includ-
ing Amsterdam, are going into the
importing business themselves, in an
effort to force down the cost of liv-
ing and expose profiteering.
A year ago some of the municipal
tiles bought American shoes and put
them on sale at a price much below
that charged by the Dutch merchants
Some months later, they imported
beef from Argentine, and put it on
the market at about half the price
charged for Dutch meat.
The latest move of the Amsterdam
city council is to import into Holland
one of the greatest dairying coun-
tries in the world, butter from Den
mark, which is to be sold at a price
of so Dutch cents kilogram below
the quotations for Dutch butter Of
the same grade.
These municipal bodies, in which
there are many socialists, believe that
Dutch middlemen demand exorbitant
profits and that this habit can only
be broken when the people find they
can buy imported commodities much
cheaper than domestic even after
freight and duty charges have been
paid.

the mine owners had accepted the
governments proposal for a confer

condition was that the proposal pre-
vented a resumption of the negotia-
tiOns.

intention IF the British government
to appeal for volunteers for trans
port and other essential services in
