Ing to have something to say when
the final award is made of the 1922
z-year-old championship. The bay
son OF Mortinet and Lady Irma sat
isfed on this. count every good
judge Of horse who was at the
historic Saratoga course this after
noon. and there were many thou
sands Of them MartingaIe. con-
ceding weight to every one of the
dozen that opposed him. romped OF
with the $4,000 United States Ho-
tel Stakes. the feature of today-s
card
There have been greater a-year-
old tests at the Spa before. but
Few prettier than today's feature.
Martingale had TO race down most
everything that opposed him TO
reap the rich reward. Clarence
Runner did himself proud in the
way he handled the horse. He had
ticklish position in the congested
field. but broke away with the
first flight and crowded out 10 the
front. Within an eighth he sue
ceeded In taking command and
never thereafter lost his ADVANTAGE.
But Hummer rated Martingale ad-
mirably and selected his own
course. keeping somewhat out from
the deadening footing near the rail.
II. II. Hewitt's Metric and z. r
Bradley's Boys Believe Me in turn
took a crack at the pacemaker, but
crumpled completely under the diz-
zying pace. For the pace was ter
rife despite the fact that the three
quarters was run in 1918. The
track was morse than muddy. Il
had dried just enough to make the
top soil Of the consistency OF glue.
Harry Payne Whitney's Chick

to finish second to Martingale. This

ruled favorite. but was unfortunate
in breaking poorly from an outside
position. Penman was forced wide
all the way through the back
stretch and around the bend. He
did not get clear sailing till
Strengthened for the run home
Chickvale then closed with a won
derful rush. passing most Of the
contenders, to finish only two
lengths behind the winner. Mar
tinCale. however. was never threat
ened. He was under wraps through
the last eighth.
