SALLY'S ALLEY WINS
RICH FQTURITY RACE
Continued from First Page.

every horse in the race was surrounded
by big group of admirers. For beauty
none equalled those belonging 20 Mr..
Whitney. His Picketer. cbickyale and
Flagstaff caught the eye OF the gentler
sex and there were as MANY women
around them as there were men. But
all or the contestants came in for com
mendation and to select one o., looks
was Impossible. All were in linton
condition and the trainer and owner of
each was confident their charge would
WIN. But none was as confident of vic
tory as was Gene Wayland trainer Of
sally's Alley. This mare will win"
ne told every one he knew, and IN in
forming his friends and his ac,l,aint-
ances he didn't whisper. AT least a
dozen times he said he would win and
each time his words were loud .nongh
for all within fifty feet to hear. In
fact. Wayland has been tipping his
mare as the sure winner since she won
the overnight event last week. After
that victory he declared that there
wasn't colt or filiy in the country
that could beat her.
After the inspection in the paddock
the crowd hurried back to their seats
or standing places of vantage On their
twenty-thres beautiful young thorough
breds in their glistening silks parading
before them 1t was one of the best
parades ever seen and 1t was vigor-
ously applauded =
After the parade the field logged to
the starter. In Mars Cassidy's hands
they were an unruly set That is. either
they or their jockeys were unruly. for
there was long delay. But when Mr.
Cassidy sent them on their way they
were all aligned. IT was perfect start
Men at the barrier said So No. one in
the stand or club house could tell any
thing about it five furlongs away.
And no one Knows how the race was
run. Some think they do but they
don't. II is an utter impossibility to
state which horse was leading. The
strongest glasses in the world couldn't
tell that Almost every owner believes
his colt or filly was in front at some
time or other during the journey. All
any one in the stand or club house could
say with confidence was that certain
contestants were well up in front.
The jockeys themselves don't know
who's leading half of the time n the
straightaway races. So it was yester-
day. After the barrier went UP what
seemed like a troop of cavalry on even
terms came speeding toward the crowd
They were all in cluster and the one
on the outside which seemed In front
might have been three lengths in the
rear for all those in the stands knew.
But when a quarter Of mile had been
covered 1t was different. 1t could then
be seen which was leading. At that
point Dick Browns Amor Patriae
seemed in front in the middle Of the
track and the Quincy Stables Bluemont
seemed in front on the outside.
Leaders Close Together.
In the next furlong there wasn't any
doubt about the different positions The
field was now nearing the far end Of
the stand and clubhouse inclosure.
Amor Patriea Sally's Alley, Zev. Bloa-
som Time and Cyclops were close to-
gether and several lengths in front of
the field.
BY the time the five furlongs lad been
covered Zev was in front, but only a
short distance in front OF Sally's Alley
Cyclops was third with Blossom Time
and Goshawk close up Behind them
and gradually cutting over to-the inner
rail was Wilderness. He was racing
like a wild colt. He seemed to be TAX
ing two powerful bounds to his oppo-
nents' one On and on he came and
before the final sixteenth pole was
didn't stop there. either. He continued
after Sally's Alley and. Zev. Zev was
beginning to tire and Sally's Alley had
little difficulty going past him, but
Wilderness was so far behind that all
OF Buddy Ensors efforts We're unable
to bring him home ahead of either Zev
or Sally's Alley.
For her victory Sally's Alley received
a tremendous ovation. Johnson also

Gene Weyland was showered with con-
gratulations and so was Mr.. Kilmer
The proud owner said he received
great thrill.
1T wasn't as great as those furnished
by old Exterminator" he said but it
was mighty good You know. I bred her
myself and that made it a double joy
when she came home in front"
