BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S.-Opinions
as to the relative merits Of the
smart 2-year-olds of the season past
vary. No more than four or five
persons in any 30 viii agree az to
the identity Of the 3-year-old star.
Eut, without a ssenting voice, rae
Ing proclalms old EXterminator the
greatest Of thorodghbreds past g.
year-olds that appeared on Ameri-
can and Canadian courses. The 2
year-old, Sally's Alley. and the g.
year-old PIlory. both Of which won
a couple Of races Of S45,000 or
greater value each, beat him out as
money Garner. But finishing with
little more than $4,000 to his credit,
he beat all the other toilers.
The illstarred Sennings Park, also
Grey lag. Mad Halter and Prince
James were good inspots. EXtermi-
nator was on the job throughout the
year. He failed in the $4,000
Washington handicap, Oceanic.
Lucky Hour and Paragon II, beating
him. Luck seems to be against him
In races of great value. He has to
amass his earnings frum season TO
season by winning small purses. But
he won his fourth Saratoga cup, his
third Toronto autumn cup, Brook
lyH handicap and n Kentucky handl-
cap and had his beet year.
Had Fine Season.
In 1921 In IS races. of which he
won eight and finished second in
two and third in five, he earned no
more than s56.737. Ten victories,
three seconds and two thirds netted
him s52,4O5 in 1920. In 1919 he
earned s26,402, in 1918 $36,417 and
in 1917 $3.50.
The S70,075 he amassed between
April 10, OF the season past ana No
yemher II. brought the total Of his
earnings up 10 S243,204, which is a
little less than $1,000 short of Man
o Wars American record Of s249,-
455, Probably he will pass Man
o'Nar's record before spring IL VIII
lis Sharpe Kilmer adheres to his de.
clared plan to send him TO Tia
Juana in January to train for re-
newals OF the Coffroth handicap and
The Tia Juana cup. The Coffroth, a
gallop OF one NILE and a quarter foi
5-year-Olds and over, will pay the
winner nearly, IL not quite. 900
Inc Tia juana cup, a gallop OF two
miles, will pay the successful horse
about $1,000. Some smart middle
distance runner with a pull ir
weight might beat Exterminatol
over the Tia Juana course in race
ot one mile and a quarter, but /
is extremely improbable that any
lalng at q winter track viii eve
heat him at two miles. In races o
one mile and a half and on, EN
lerminator does awful things q
horses that beat him at one mill
ana a furlong and one mile and
quarter.
Old Bones would have passed MAJ
o. Wars record at Pimlico by win
h.nE either the Bowie or the Plmli
60 cup or both of those $4,000 race
u MS old luck had stood by him
ll2 was training brilliantly for tn
Howle renewal when he wrenched
bAoalder and became slightly iaut
ile did not start In the Bowie, an
because Of his lameness, the frs
IN mis- career, he missed a couple o
works, on that account he wa
pea'en in the Pimllco cup by Cap
I5ln Alcock, which had trimme
iEkodus and Oceanic IN the Bowie
tlt' Exterminator has always ha
LAe number of Captain Alcock. Blu
S,aPlain Alcock, son OF Ogden an
Mailard and half brother of tn
S'eat distance running 3-year-ol
'oehminster was mighty good a
'uIIco' Neither Exterminator nc
S"y other partially fit horse coui
nave beaten him at - or ? :

should Pass Earning Record
inc lameness of EXterminator wa
INy temporary, The old fellow wa
l splendid condition after the Pin

MAether he goes to Tia Juana or no
