HAvRE DE GRACE RACE
TRACK, Nd. Sept. 23.-Who will
win the $4,000 Havre de Grace
Handicap, the mile and one-eighth
feature race, to be run here Satur-
day?
Right now the checkers, railbirds
and hangers-on think Crusader,
Americas three-year-old champion,
will carry off the big prize, but so
many good works are being turned
in daily by contenders that the
horsemen are becoming dubious
about their early selection.
Walter NJ. Jeffords' Edith CaVell
is the latest to bob up with spark
ling work. The threeyear-old
daughter of Man O. Wharf.-The Nurse,
went a mile yesterday in such
manner as to cause the work watch
ers to say she will be a tough nut
to crack il she starts on Saturday.
Crusader also worked yesterday.
and although the three-year-old
champion covered a greater distance
of ground, it is interesting to COM
pare their works at a mile:

judgment. / take it that the we'll
known fiction writer. who has
given Tunney tips on taking out
his man has at last come to the
conclusion that Tunney Is not so
good. even though Dempsey can be
but bit better.
Also Benny Leonard comes out
with the declaration that he can't
see how the champion is going TO
lose. This, coming from one of the
former Gibson boys, is rather Of
interest here. This young man has
had the parties of this party to-
night under strict observation for
a number OF days in their respec-
tive camps at Atlantic City and
Stroudsburg and finds, without the
aid of attorneys, which is no small
achievement in this town, that
Dempsey has not slipped so far
back as to call for immediate use
of a stretcher.
He thinks that Tunney will be
trOunced and probably put hOri-
ZOntaIIy the moment. il not
sooner, that some stiff right
cross work puzzles him. He can't
see Tunney for dust.

of me, it may prove absolutely

still some hope held out for him
