New-York tribune., 1922-09-10

With the speed of Man o. War Kai-
Sang had fitted past Bunting and was
headed to victory.
Bunting held on gamely under the
whip. He was giving everything he
had, though headed after reading 8
procession for more than mile. 1t
takes game horse to do this. Bunt-
ing undeniably is game. But there was
no sign OF weakening in that grim
Rockminster, too, was holding his own
grimly with Bunting, the same two
lengths behind. Three-sixteenths from
home Kai-Sang had drawn a length
and half away from the carly pace
maker.
Then the stands began to rock and
sway in excitement as Bunting came
on again. Inch by inch the blue and
brown began to creep up on the white
and green. Hummer was whipping like
mad; Sande delivering master piece
of hand-riding. Kai-Sang was doing his
best. though losing at each stride, and
as they flashed past the finish the
Rancocas colt had scarce more than a
neck's advantage. Whether this fine
finish was the will of Sande, as clever
oughbred,s true capabilities, the future
must decide. Perhaps Kai-Sang was
not so straight as he appeared to be-
But that, at least, is the history of
the Lawrence Realization of 1922
America has two wonderful three-year-
olds, If indeed, not three.
Big Field in First Race
A field of twenty eight platers for
the first race very fortunately was cut
in half by scratches, otherwise the
inauguration of the days sport might
have been called on account of dark
ness. As it was, Cassidy had the great
est difficulty lining up the contrary
band and delay of almost FIVE min
utes ensued at the post.
The start was somewhat Struggling
Transient soon raced out to the front,
closely pursued by Bright Lights, with
Liberty Girl close up. The latter tired
and dropped out of contention in the
stretch run. Meanwhile, Bright Lights
raced down Transient, which so weak
ened>in the final furlong that Kirk
|. lexington was able to come from away
back to take the place.
j. E. Widener's Sea Skipper had a
virtual walkover in the Corinthian
Handicap Steeplechase, at about two
miles and half, after A. j. Davis's
Ards and H. w. Maxwell's Decisive
poIu leil at tne fourteenth jump
The race was worth $2,425 to the
winner. Plenty Of comedy marked the
running of this cross-country event
and all impromptu on the part of w.
McNair, the colored boy, who had the
leg up on Decisive. At the time of
the spill at the fourteenth obstacle,
which is on the far side Of the field,
Sea Skipper, the 8 to favorite, had
made his first bid and taken the lead
from Decisive, which set the pace by
several lengths for the first turn Of
the field. Ards, after hitting the
twelfth fence SO heavily as to knock
loose several boards, was plainly
through and quickly dropped out Of
the contention.
McNair tried to keep pace with Sea
Skipper when Byers challenged and
ran peil-mell into the fourteenth! ;Smp.
Horse and mount went down in mad
scramble. Along came Ards and he
also took Brode. Decisive was the
| first to extricate himself from the
tangled mass of steeds and riders and
he promptly lit out after Sea Skipper
as good jumpers usually do. McNair
tore after his steed like a marathon
runer nearing his goal. He wanted to
finish out for whatever consolation
there might be.
