SALLY'S ALLEY TO
MEET BLOSSOM Time
Futurity Winners Will Clash
if Bradley Star Is in
Condition.
KILMER MISS FAV0RITE
Experts Believe She Is Best
Juvenile Filly in Years
Casualties of Big Race.
BY HENRY ". KING.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-Sally's Alley,
the great Juvenile filly which won the
second division of the 100000 Fu-
turity on Saturday for Willis Sharpe
Kilmer, came out of her race in ex-
cellent condition. Gene Weiand, her
morning and she acted better than
before the big race. Her trainer said
she could go back and win another
stake this afternoon if necessary.
But while she showed no i'll effects
of the race others did. e. r. Bradley's
filly Blossom Time, which won the
first division of the stake, pulled up
sore, and this morning was in such
bad shape that Barry Shannon, her
trainer feared that he would be un-
able to start her in the Gold Cup Spe-
cial on Tuesday. Mr.. Bradley will
arrive in town tomorrow. Before
leaving Louisville for here he in
structed Shannon to start her if pos
sible. He said he realized the special
was purely sporting event and he
did not want it to appear that he was
doing the unsportsmanlike trick OF
running out of the race.
Donges, the Western colt belonging to
J. S. Ward of Kentucky. which finished
second TO Blossom Time, Is another that
was not in good shape after the race.
He is an unsound colt and this morn
ing his feet hurt him and 1t was with
difficulty that he got around He was
so sore Mr.. Ward said he believed he
would be unable to meet Saily's Alley
in the special.
Little Celt AiIing.
A third OF those eligible for the spe-
cial, which came out of the race In bad
condition was Sandy McNaughton's Lit
tie Celt. This colt, which finished third
after the worst kind OF racing luck and
should have won, hurt his leg. 1t filled
up and this morning McNaughton said
he was unable to say whether or not
the colt would be in shape for Tuesday
race.
August Belmont's How Fair, Harry
Payne Whitney's Rialto, j. S. Cosdens
Martingale and Admiral Cary T. Gray
sons My Own were in fine condition
and their trainers said they believed
their charges would improve and run
At every place horsemen gather In
this city the only topic of their conver-
sation seems to be Sally's Alley. In their
opinion she is unquestionably the best
Juvenile of the year and many of them
are sure she is the best since the days
of the immortal Regret. Some say she
is the equal of Tradition and Beldame
and the once famous racing mare Art
full. She is a sturdy miss and IL she
winters well is likely to develop into
a sensational three-year-old. Her two
severe attacks Of the influenza appar-
emily have not sapped her speed or
strength and Saturdays race showed
that she can travel as far as any
Juvenile.
In the opinion of all horsemen How
Fair is more than an ordinary Ally.
She ran an exceptionally fine race be-
hind Blossom Time and like Little Celt,
probably would have beaten the winner
with better racing luck. She is sure
to go on and 1t would not be surprising
to see her develop into great filly and
beat all of her class except Sally's
Alley. She is a slow beginner and with
a small field such as she will encounter
on Tuesday she should give up her best
and make a much better showing than
she did on Saturday.
