UNBEATEN CHAMPION ENDS SEASON BY ROMPING HOME THREE LENGTHS AHEAD IN GREAT PIMLICO FUTURITY.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. II.-Morvich he's a race horse. In his previous starts this season he has taken the track and showed the way home to his fields, but he turned seeming de- feat into triumph as only champion can at the Pimlico track Saturday by coming from behind to win the Pim- lico Futurity at one mile, the, richest prize of the racing season.
 He won, as he has won all his races, this season, going away, by three lengths from Lucky Hour, with Run antell half a length behind, but a neck in front of Spanish Maise, with All Fair, Kai-Sang, Calamity Jane, Galantman, St. Henry, My Play and Horologue strung out behind him like lampposts on a country road.
 As he carried the Orange and Jade clocks, the colors that never have been second in a race, past the stand, packed from rail to roof, there was a cheer that comes only once i'll life time-to a Futurity winner. And he , deserved 1t to the last whisper. The son of Runnymede-Hymi does not look the great horse in action Man of War did, but he looked every inch a champion Saturday. He has started II times this season and won II races under all sorts of weight over all kinds of tracks, and no horse could do more.
 In money winnings he stands next to Colin, with a total of $115,235, and heads the list for this year head and shoulders. The first running of the Pimlico Futurity had a gross value of $55,25o and the winners share was $42,75o, making it the richest race on the eastern turf, and the setting was worthy of such a race.
 Periodically there passes through the paddock gate of some breeding farm a colt which from an untried and uncertain specimen, romping on un- gainly legs, develops with amazing suddcnness into a race horse of such singular quality and gallantry as to become alike the inspiration of judges of form and critics of per- formance.
 This year brought out a spectacu- lar example in Norwich. A two-year- old novice under the saddle six months ago, this colt is now easily the most eminent animal of his i'm mature years in America An un- broken record of clean and distinct racing victories-II in all-has given him the full 100 per cent. credit for demonstrated superiority Likewise it suggests potentiality so abundant in promise that it approaches to a guarantee of continued greatness.
 Norwich was introduced to the rac- ing world from the broad acres of Adolph Spreckles' Napa Ranch, out on the Pacific Slope. At the time of fitting identifying titles to his year lings, MT. Spreckels, who had been reading a translation of a Russian novel which had a spirited character called Norwich, wished that name up on the colt. Last spring Norwich was sent on a transcontinental jour ney 10 the eastern race tracks, there to fit himself into whatever place his ability might make for him. He was saddled for the first test of the qua1- ity of his breeding in a selling stake event at Jamaica track in May.
 Races of this kind are not of the high order of events Usually they bring out field of youngsters offer ing more of doubt than of promise. There is evidence that Morvich was considered in this general class. Ex- Cept that stable boys had galloped him furlong or two on the home ranch training track, he was without experience The card announcement of the race awakened only indiffcr- ent interest.
 The bugler sounded the call and the youngsters danced to their places, Morvich, teetering on his slim juve- nile legs at the post, sped away at the snap of the barrier. He led his field with little apparent effort, winning without undue acceleration of heart beat and with lungs functioning through nostrils unforced to that rapid dilation which tells of serious excrtion.
 That was the Norwich debut The date was May 7.
 Considering the various elements which have had their bearings on the Norwich performances-the character of his company, the number of tracks upon which he has run, the extremes of footing conditions, the fact that three different trainers in turn have applied their methods to the direc- ton of his development, and that five
