New-York tribune., 1922-08-23

SIX 1uTlOHgSs edSiy to-uay 1loHl a
division. Furthermore, he won so
greatest puzzle of the generation as
Overcoming a great deal of hard
luck, such as mad characterized the
earlier starts of this sprightly son Of
Ceit--Honey Bee, Cartoonist came from
sterling handling, to gallop home the
easiest imaginable sort of winner by
fully a half dozen lengths and in the
rattling fine time of :12 fiat.
Cartoonist beat the Rancocas Sta
ble's Bud Lerner, considered one OF
the most formidable candidates for
highest honors, in common hand gal
lop, while Bud Lerner, in turn, was
extended TO the limit TO nose out the
Green Tree Stables Cherry Pie. The
contention for scond honers was SIM
ply stirring. Bud Lerner, Cherry Pie
and H.. H. Hewitt's Banter finished
heads apart in the order named.
Just how good Cartoonist is re-
mains for the future to discover. New
York's smart horsemen, after his bril-
liant race of the afternoon, declared
him possible champion. As he
raced to-day he should give mighty
fire account of himself against the
best of them at even weights on
fast track. He is not good mud
der: that fact has been proved in
earlier starts. But when conditions
suit well, he's a bear, that's all. Car
toonist, if pressed, might easily have
run the six furlongs to-day in III.
Gets Away Poorly
Cartoonist had to be real racehorse
to win. He was faced by break that
would have taken the heart out of any
but the gamest thoroughbred. He
broke we'll frons one of the outside posi-
tions but almost Immediately was hit
and shuffled back. 1t took him about
sixteenth of mile to find his racing
legs, and during this time Banter had
hot-footed it out into eommanding
lead of three lengths, with Blanc Seing
and Boys Believe Me fighting nose to
nose for the contending position full
length in front of him.
There was not racing room for Car
toonist after he did settle and Hummer
had to wait till ne could pick his way
around the front runners. Meanwhile
Banter was simply flying and extended
his lead to four or five lengths. In
picking up the front runners Cartoonist
was carried wider and wider. 1t is safe
to. say he had to run twenty-five or
thirty yards further than any of the
other contenders.
Once let down Cartoonist fairly flew.
He passed the others as if they had
been tethered. Strengthened for the
run home, it was only q question Of how
far Kumm&f wished to win with him.
Il didn't take Cartoonist long to put
Banter away when the pair hooked up
andfhrough the last furlong Hummer
coasted with hand brakes set tight.
Bud Lerner, which finished second,
was badly beaten, but in no manner
disgraced. He was the top weight,
with 1876 pounds, and he was off some
what sluggishly from an inside posi-
tion. He met with considerable inter
ference in the early stages of his jour
ney, but closed out strongly. Cherry
Pie also closed with great rush to
nose out the tiring pacemaker, Banter.
Cherry Pie, that broke slowly from
an outside position, was carried wide
all the way, but was simply running
over the others at the end. Cartoon
lists victory was worth S3,915 TO his
owner, who is some fair sort of per-
former as cartoonist himself.
Three Winners for Fator
Jockey Laverne Fator had an old
fashioned field day, as he rode no less
than three winners in four starts. Most
everybody but the presiding officials
are of the opinion that Fator could
have hit 1000 for the afternoon had he
any interest in the second race except
to censor il from the rear.
Neither Fator nor his stable connec-
tions have fooled any one by the man
ner in which Lucky Antoine has been
performing. When this three-year-oi
maiden flly is allowed to run every
wise cracker at the track is going
home rich il the books happen to be
IN receptive mood. Fator seemed
pulling at the start, dropped away
back TO last in the run up the back
esrh and never once did give Lucky
Antoine his way.
-4sen when the Rancocas colt came
like an express train through the
stretch, picking up the stragglers one
by. one. to finish in the money. few
believed that Fator was permitting
his mount to run as it could. But
there seems no end of tolerance on the
part of officials as to the extent .
horseman may go in qualifying even
three-year-olds.
AS 1T was Charles A. Stonehana,s
Flannel Shirt, which was favorite al
post time--Lucky Antoine having re-
ceded from to to to 2--won as he
pleased after chasing down Frederick
Johnson's High Speed. The latter was
four lengths in front of Lucky Antoine
at the finish.
Far different was the horsemanship
OF Fator on his other mounts. He nut
up million-dollar finish with Fair
way, l0-to-1 shot, to beat out Buddy
Ensor on Tufter by the proyerbial eve
lash in the third race, at a mile. This
plater, which came from behind. ran
This mile In the fine time of 1.37 3-5.
