4 Manley Memorial Steeplechase
at Pimlico this afternoon. The
fixture, one Of the richest and the last
of the thoroughbred racing season. has
been run IA times and Mr.. Widener has
won it 8 of these, the last 5 in sue
cession.
Arclight, a 5-year-old gelding by
Archaic Felicity winner of the Manley
q year ago, triumphed again today. Well
handled by Dolly Byers, who has ridden
seven winners of the stake, Arclight
won by three lengths from E. r. Brad
ley's BeelZebub with w. F. Hites Crump-
Ter third, 10 lengths behind, while Huffy,
Rubigny and Briguel strung out down
the course. Red Rocket I'd fell three
jumps from home. The race was wor h
$8,775 to the winner.
Arclight winner of the rich Grand
National Steeplechase at Belmont Park
in September and the Temple Gwath-
mey Memorial Steeplechase at the
West Chester Racing Association course
last Tuesday, was much the best. Doll
ByerS rated him fairly close to the pace
while Crumpler and then Beelzebub
made the running and saving ground
with him all the way, brought him up
fast in the last half mile. From here
he battled head-and-head with Crump-
Ter for a couple of furlongs and then
came away easily.
Thought He Rode Too Closely.
The stewards thought Dyer rode
ThoTndike on Beel2ebub too closely SO
they called him and the patrol judge
into the stand, but after some question
ing made no change in the placing.
Beelzebub ran a game race while
Crumpler hung on gamely. Brigueil
ran far below his form in the Gov. Ogle
Steeplechase at Laurel, but today the
going was hard while at Laurel the
track was deep in mud.
Going back over the records Mr..
Widener won the first running Of the
Manley with Expectation, scored twice
with Duettiste, Lizard and Arclight,
and once with Paramount.
Buck Foremans Ned o, chestnut geld
ing by Camp Fire-La Flambs, raced
to a remarkable victory in the twenty
fourth running of the Walden Handi-
cap, fer 2-year- oldS at one mile and
a sixteenth, the other feature of the
card. While he is by no means the best
Juvenile of the season, In the Walden
he was the luckiest horse that has won
an important stake.
He broke slowly, was last in the held
of 10. more than a dozen lengths be-
hind the leaders for the first half mile
and then Quattlebaum brought him on
the rail every foot OF the way TO VIM
by a head on the post. S. w. Labrots
fortunate Youth was second, head In
front of w. J. Salmon's Swinheld, while
E. r. Bradiey's Night Signal was fourth,
half a length behind.
Ned O'S luck in the Walden counter
balanced his bad luck in the Spalding
jerks Handicap at Laurel, in which
he was disqualified and the race given
to Sun Craig, which finished unplaced
TODAY, The Walden was worth $ll 400
to the winner and Ned o went to the
most an odds-on favorite, paying $3.50
Straight, $500 place and $3.50 show:
fortunate Youth paid 1920 place and
1880 show.
Peto Drops Back.
There was only short delay at the
post by Jim Milton, who sent the nelo
awav, Peto went to the front at the
break and led for the first quarter OF
a mile and then dropped BACK 70 hnlsn ,l
next to last. Fortunate Youth then took
command and made the running with
the field, with the exception OF Stan,
ton. Brown Admiral and Ned Q wen
punched behind him and Swlnnelo
At the half mile Quattlebaum started
to bring Ned o up on the ran ano
the surprising thing was that ne mao
a clear path all the way. At the QSaa
of the stretch it did not look as tuooeii
he had a chance to be in the n1cney'
hut the leaders kept wide and QuetLie-
baum brought the son OF Camp FIRE
through. III. suc-
