New-York tribune., 1922-09-30

The Xalapa Farms entry, Missionary
and Southern Gross, ruled favorite and
was heavily played. But when it came
to running there was nothing but the
Stoneham colt. Eddie Taplin raced
Flannel Shirt up from an outside posi-
tion and grabbed the field before the
bend was reached. He had to race
down only the Rancocas Stables Lit
tie Chief. He came away then as he
pleased and won in common romp in
the very good time Of isS7 3-5.
Missionary was the only one that
could keep within hailing, distance of
the winner after Little Chief chucked
. it. Andy Schuttinger, as is customary
for him, was most timorous with his
mount. He kept taking up and taking
up at the start till Missionary was
fourth hitting the bend. Then he took
his time in deciding whether to come
through on the rail or go to the out
side; eventually he chose the overland
xoute. Missionary was full of running
through the stretch and finished q
bangup second to Flannel Shirt, to
whom Taplin went to the whip in the
last sixteenth.
Marionette Wins Last
Mr.. Stonehams Marionette, two
year old Olambala- Mauviette lilly, in
winning the last race, dash of five
furlongs through the chute, put crimp
in the most pretentious killing that
had been engineered during the met
ropolitan racing season. Harry S. Sim
clair was down to bet hook, line and
sinker on Mazetta. And he did bet
Seventy-five thousand dollars thrown
on this supposedly goo6 thing ham
mered the odds from two and half
friends had no chance to root for their
coin. Charles A. Stoneham's Marion
cite, supported strongly, broke in front
for Eddy Taplin and simply cakewalked
all the way. The Hildreth filly, indeed,
was outrun by Contour and had
absolutely nothing but lack of class to
excuse its miserable performance.
Copper Demon, of the Quincy Stable,
was a rank disappointment in the sec
ond race, at mile. This to favor
ite, which came out with bandaged
lest hind leg, did not appear able to
do himself justice at any stage of the
proceedings and viewed the procession
from the rear from start to finish.
Earl Sande never had to let down
Bridesman, which galloped in front Of
his field all the way The Roll Call
made a game effort and beat out Cop
per Demon, when the bandy-legged ia
vorite folded furlong from home.
Liberty Girl, an outsider, won the
fifth race, at mile and a furlong
Huonec, the heavily played favorite,
did not get in the money division.
Jockey G. II. Miller rushed Liberty
Girl into the lead shortly after the
break and stole such command in the
early running that nothing could
threaten him. Thornhedge, nder Bud
dy Ensor's spirited ride, was the con-
tender all the way, and beat out Maize
by three lengths for the place.
A lucky day it was for Sunny Jim"
Fitzsimmons, trainer for the Quincy
Stables He sent Poor Sport out sharp
as a razor for this trial. Ponce raced
Poor Sport into the lead and then gal
loped all the rest of the way. 1t wasn't
horse race. 1t was simply a process
sion.
Esquire, the favorite of field of
thirteen cheap platers in the third race
at seven furlongs, ran away with little
+. Bell and almost circled the track at
top speed After that of course, this
favorite ran where he might have been
expected-last all the way. Tingaling
broke we'll and had no excuse for los
ing TO Horab, which worked It's way up
past on the inside and came through
between Tingaling and Star Court in
the stretch. Teddie Rice just managed
Tingaling was weakly ridden by Nc
