Sway in Special Duel

LAToNIA, KY, Oct. 2a.--Wkat is be-
lieved by veteran horsemen to be one
of the most unusual races in the his
tory OF the turf was run here this
afternoon, when after their horses had
raced to dead heat In the last event
the owners refused to split the purse
and staged another race between the
pair to ascertain which would take all
or none.
Fantoche, four-year-old gelding
owned by A. w. Young, and Sway,
six-year-old gelding, the property of
W. w. Hall, flashed under the wire
with noses SO close together that the
judges, could not pick the winner, and
the official dead heat" sign was hung
out. The mutuels were divided, SWAY
paying $3.50 for q 81 win ticket. and
1910 being returned on Fantoche.
Trainer Perkins, acting for Hall,
however, was not 80 easy to handle.
"Fantoche won," said Young. "Sway
is pounds the better horse" was Per-
kins's retort. They argued for few
minutes, and Perkins suggested that
Fantoche and Sway settle the question
OF supremacy for once and all, the win
ner to take the purse. The jockeys
were called back and permission was
granted by the racing association.
The pair went over the six furlong
route, but this time it was not any
whhere near a dead heat. Fantoche
won away off.
Granite Ware, owned by X. Spence,
accounted for the Mill Greek Valley
Purse, at one mile, the feature of a
fine card. Lady Astor was second and
BFaedalbane, the heavily played favor
lite, was third. In the secondary fea-
ture Montfort Jones's Fair Phantom
showed the way to American Ace, while
Jimmy Daw was third. The winner
was played down to less than l to 2.
