New-York tribune., 1922-09-29

Like stealing candy from the de-
fenseless baby for Tall Timber to grab
the leading honors of the day at Aque-
duct yesterday afternoon. This Camp
fire colt was so good that he could con
cede every advantage to each and every
one of his field of hall dozen smart
two-year-olds and then win of by him
self in common romp. No cheap
field did he face. Osprey, supposedly
one Of the very best of August Bel
mont's two-year-oids (and supposedly
they are the last word in form, was
made to look veritable platter in com
parison.
The gang unloaded on Osprey. Evi-
IDENTIFY they had forgiven McAtee his
transgressions, as we forgive those who
sFansgress against us. But they were
led into temptation, nevertheless The
feet was strong for the Greentree
Stables Cherry Pie and for the Oak
Ridge Stables Runviso, not to mention
deremon, that John =. Madden touted
the greatest prospective melon cutting
Of an exceptionally light melon crop.
Three Lengths in Front
was only one two-year-old in the field.
OF course Gas may have already been
suspected), this was r. I. Wilson's
Tall Timber. Critics thought he
would not carry his speed over the
three-Guarters. He had shown evi-
dence of faint -heartedness previously.
But sometimes critics err.
Yesterday Tall Timber was about as
nice a two -year-old as the most exact
ing could ever hope to meet. He did
everything good thoroughbred could
be asked He won from behind, and
bad behind. Buddy" Ensor, from the
extreme outside position, broke abb
aolutely last. He had to race up on
the outside. But he spun along so fast
in the first quarter that he outfooted
most of the field in the dash for the
first turn and actually took the lead in
circling the first bend. Before the
turn was half completed Tall Timber
had forged to a good lead, and this he
increased to three lengths as he
skinned the rail at the home turn and
Strengthened for the long race home.
The heavily laden Cherry Pie was
the only one that could keep within
gunshot of Tall Timber. The Green
tree Stable colt never had chance.
Ensor. as matter Of formality,
nourished his whip at the eighth pole,
but already he had the race sewed
tiRNC IS Q1uUl. CHeTiy le never Sot
closer than three lengths in the
stretch run. The Oak Ridge Stables
Runviso, that had run some remark
able races and which was figured to
give Osprey, the favorite, the battle
of his life, was rank disappointment.
This one had no excuse. He ran
most duly from start to finish. Mad
den's good thing might have done bet
ter with break. But Taplin, as usual,
was caught mapping at the switch. He
had to take the overland route from
start to finish, and though Heremon
closed with all the reputed thorough
bred gameness to lose the place to
Cherry Pie by short neck, he never
could have made Tall Timber extend
one-half side of himself. Tall Timber,
which added $4,000 to his stables win
nings, ran the six furlongs in the
teeth of fair blow through the long
stretch in the fancy time of Iii As,
which Is only four-ffths second under
the record established by II. p Whit
ney's Thunderer in 1915.
Perfect Day for Buddy
The boys down below did little bit
better than usual as three favorites
justified general figures. Buddy Ensor
rode one of these, r. j. Browns Amor
Patriae, in the closing dash Of five fur
longs The same Buddy, of course,
piloted Tall Timber He had perfect
day scoring twice with as many mounts.
