MoRVICH-SNOB 20 MATCH
RACE POSSIBLE IN FALL

NEW YORK. June 3.--After the
running Of the Withers at Belmont
Park Wednesday, there was much dis
cussion of the possibility of a match
between the victor, Snob 2, and the
unbeaten Norwich. Fred Burlew,
trainer Of the later colt, said II would
be foolish to contemplate anything Of
the kind at present because Of the
engagements Of Norwich, but that
later on we'll send our colt against
Snob I'd any distance for any amount,
and I'll bet $4,000 OF my own
money"
Mr.. Burlew also said that in the
autumn he would be willing to send
the son Of Runnymede against Ex.
terminator or any Of the best stake
horses at Belmont Park, provided the
estchester Racing Association
would offer $4,000 or more and a
suitable trophy It had been pre-.
viously understood that Norwich
would meet only racers OF his own
age this year.

TRACK JUDGES
DRAWF|REFOR
PUNK EYES|GHT
Officials Apparently BawIed
Up in Determining Outcome
of intercollegiate Races.
BY DAVIS 8. WALSH.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Criticism
of no indefinite character is being
leveled throughout the East today
at the men who seemingly judged
the finishes at the intercollegiate
games with that far-away look In
the eyes noted, for the most part,
in poets, bridegrooms. street clean
ers and other preoccupied individ'
uals. 1t is said that the Judges
booted" at least two finishes
namely. those in the 100.yard dash
and the quarter mile, and photo
graphs are said to prove It.
Neither by inference nor direct
challenge is the integrity Of the
officials questioned. since the men
in question are above suspicion. but
the same, apparently, doesn't apply
to their eyesight.
At the finish OF the 1O0-yard dash,
for example, many thought Eddie
Sudden, OF Stanford, deserved bet
ter than the fourth place awarded
him, and in support Of that conten-
ton the following Is alleged to have
taken place:
When the officials got together
after the finish, they picked the
man for first third, fourth, and
fifth places. What Of second placer
The Judge designated for that task
had missed his man. Very well,
then who were the other men in
race? Lovejov, OF Cornell, and
Woodring. of Syracuse. Quite sim
pie. then. Lovejoy finished second.
That Ia the method by which the
Judges are said to have arrived at
their decision and, regarding 1t In
the most charitable Of lights, leaves
nothing to recommend It.
In the ouarter.mile final II is
said that the Judge picking first
place selected Stevenson. Of Prince
ton. That Individual however, was
also the choice Of the Judge looking
for second place men. and the latter
finally prevailed. Stevenson beins
rated second behind Driscoll, OF
Boston College.
Hendrixson, Of California Monte
OF Syracuse. and John. ot Cornell
were given the remaining places "a
the evident dissatisfaction OF many.
Pictures OF the finish are said 10

Sponge In Her Horse 4
Nostril Anglers
Mrs. Whitney

Mrs. Payne Whitney was an
angry woman just before the
International steeplechase at
Belmont Park.
Some scamp put q sponge IN
the nose Of one Of her favorite
steeplechase horses, Roi Craig.
The cruel act killed any chance
she might have had Of winning
the historic stake, but that
didn't annoy the noted sports
woman nearly as much as to
know that one of her horses
had been abused and was suf-
fering. When she learned of
the nefarious act she ordered
her trainer to withdraw the
horse and to do all in his power
to run down the culprit.
Vincent Powers discovered
that there was something wrong
with the horse a short time be-
fore the race and called DR..
Robert McCully, a track veter-
mary, who found the sponge
and quickly removed it. 1t had
done no harm and Roi Craig
will be back to the races in
few days.

The showing Of Haley and Davis,
even though they do not win non
'ors. has been an outstanding fea-
ture OF the tournament. Their driv'
ing has been phenomenal while
their distance work with the irons
has been quite out of the ordinary.
L. A. Sanford, Of La Porte, who
drives an unusually long tee shot,
played on Thursday with Davis.
II never saw such driving in my
life" said Sanford. Haley would
frequently be 100 yards ahead OF
me on the drives.
There wasn't green on the
course that Davis couldn't reach with
ease in two shots, and most OF his
approaches on the long holes were
made with a mashie niblic."
Young Davis drives with a pro-
nounced hook, allowing for the curve
almost always. On the eighteenth lie
hit a straight one and rode II up to
the tree Just off the fairway.
The drive, which was uphill after
the carry, was estimated to have
2S0.yard carry.
Edgar Orme reported Haley's
drives as of unusually length. The
caddies, who like long shots, are loud
ir praise Of the youngsters, who have
been creating all sorts Of record
pokes over the Columbia course.

youngsters making good. John H.
