NEW YORK. Oct. 2s-The last
week OF the Jamaica autumn meeting
brought formidable lilly contestant
for the seasons 2-year-old champion
ship into the spotlight in Miss Star.
Probably II was well for the fame
OF Sally's Alley victress in the 355.-
600 BelWont Park Renewal. tenta-
tive holder OF the 2-year-old Ally
crown and herself a dangerous bid
der for the Juvenile championship,
that Sally did not tackle Miss Star
in the Hiawatha Handicap Renewal.
Jamaica's smartest autumn special
for hllics. II is doubtful whether
the Futurity winner could have
beaten Miss Star.
Miss stars performance In the Hia-
watha was the salient feature OF the
last week OF Jamaica racing. as Cy-
ciops' splendid race in the Oceanus
Handicap Revival had been the out
standing development OF its first
week. Not only Is 1t question
whether Sally's Alley could have
beaten Miss star in the Hiawatha,
but II is doubtful whether any of the
colts could have trimmed her. Miss
Stars coming through has further
complicated the 2-year-old situation.

Cresta's abominable post manners
could have trimmed Miss Star in the
Hiawatha.

There Is no nonsense about this

Amelia did not know better how to
deport herself at the barrier or how
TO break quicker. Probably Betty
Bcall would have been too slow, nj.

In the light OF the form Betty has
shown in Kentucky In the Breeders

renewals since she whipped the for
midable Runviso at six furlongs over
the Belmont Park course.

or one mile and n quarter next June

Alley and Miss Star competing, would
be worth travelling miles TO see. Pos
