NEW YORK Sept. Cherry Pie
OF the Greentree stables won the Nur-
sery handicap OF 8 furlongs over the
main course which was the feature OF
the opening of the fall race meeting
Of nineteen days at Belmont Park this
afternoon. The victory was worth
S4,950. r. l.. Gerry's William Tell.
an outsider at Is to 1. finished out
strong for the place. while the Quincy
Stables Caveat Emptor got the show
end of the purse under a Furnishing
finish by Jockey L. Morris.
The Nursery this year brought out
field of nine high class two-year-
olds, though none Of the strongest
championship candidates accepted the
issue. Coupled with the filly Solisa.
Cherry, Pie ruled a particularly strong
favorite. opening at s to s and closing
at to /. There was a strong play
for the Quincy Stable entry-Caveat
Emptor and Carol-as well as for w.
J. Salmons Vigil.
Starter Mars Cassidy sent the nine
away in good alignment. Aladdin. of
the Rancocas stable entry, was the
first to show and in the first 80 yards
drew of to a half lengths lead,
closely pressed in turn by Cavest
Emptor and Cherry Pie. The field
crowding over for position in the run
to the turn, first. pinched of. and
then herded in the coal black colt Of
the Quincy Stable.
Jockey L. Morris, who seemed to
hesitate about jamming his way
through on the outside of Aladdin
soon lost all opportunity to improve his
position and was carried wide all the
way around the turn. thus being
forced to run much further than the
front runners. Caveat Emptor closed
resolutely under the lash and might
possibly have had something more
definite to say about where the vic
tory belonged had Morris been less
timorous at the start.
Meanwhile the Greentree Stables
Helding had gone out after Aladdin
and soon put him away after a brush
around the turn. William Tell worked
through on the rail and took the con-
tending position when Aladdin fall
tered. 1t was procession In this order
from the head OF the stretch clear
across the finish line. Cherry Pie hold
ing the others safe for the lions share
of the purse and William Tell doing
the same for the place money. Cherry
Pies victory was an impressive one
as he ran the three-quarters under
top weight of lis pounds in the very
fine time of 1:15 rs. which was only
one-flfth second slower than Domi-
nique's time for the same route in the
opening race. Dominique carried 125
