Friday, the 13tn, is not an unlucky
day for the owner OF the Quincy Stable.
He had a gala time at the Jamaica track
yesterday afternoon-the luckiest he has
had In many years. His horses won three
races. including the Arigona Handicap,
the feature of the programme. His win
ners were Elmendorf. Teddy r. and Sis

them and Joe Mooney guided them to
victory. So 1t wasn't unluclSy for them.

cap. 1T was a sprint at five and half
furlongs and before the race few race
goers believed Teddy II. had chance
OF victory. He is common looking

Frances and neither last year nor this
spring showed anything worth while In
his races He had worked well over the
Gravesend track this season and a few
days ago started against a field that
was much better than those he opposed
yesterday In his last race he finished
far In the ruck but that was because
he had suffered III luck. Soon after the
start he was crowded and shuffled about
and then when ne did get into his stride
he was carried almost to the outside
fence. Yesterday the field was small and
Mooney got him away from the barrier
with his rivals and out OF all harms
way.

first flight for positions and set fast

they ran head and head. Then Fort

too. This aged and erratic cripple had
none the best of the luck. but he was so
much better than his opponents that he
merely had to gallop TO win the purse.

down the backstretch, while Mandalay

Not satisfied with the sale of Phil
Chinn's horses. the Jockey Club has re-
ferred his case hack TO the Maryland
Jockey Club. When Chinn was ruled
Off the turf In Maryland the following
condition was added in connection with
his racing stable:
Permission is given to r. It. Chinn
to sell his horses at public auction re-
fnstatement of horses 10 follow sale of
horses II the stewards Of any race meet
ing are satisfied that the sale Is bona
fide"
The Chinn horses were sold at ia
n1aica last Monday and brought unusu-
ally high prices. John Shaughnessy paid
$4,000 for Shaffer and $i.260 for Wylie.
while Abe Hallow gave $500 for wish

year-old gelGing.
Why gelding 3 years old was worth
so much money aroused the curiosity Of
the stewards. and n superficial exami-
nation convinced them that the sale
should be investigated.
