Real Upset by Mate
The defeat of Mate proved a
big surprise to turf experts. The
latter rated the son of Prince
-Killashandra one of the
leading contenderS for the 3-year,
old title. Few looked for rival
to beat him over the three-quar'
ter distance.
However, it may be Trainer
James big JIM Healey is con-
ditiOning the A. C. BOStwick
star, allowing time to develop
staying power rather than spe ID.
But the big chestnut colt will
have little chance with Equi,
poise, Twenty Grand, Surf Board
or Ladder, if he can't develop
more early foot than he showed
in his initial performance at the
Hartford county course.
There is one excuse to make
for Mate. It was his first start
of the season. A glance through
his record last year will disclose
the fact that the son of Prince
-Killashandra did not come
to hand until the Champagne
Stakes at Belmont Park in the
fall. Up to that TIME he was moth
ing more than promising colt.
His triumph over EquipoiSe in
the Champagne moved him up
into contention for the 2-year-old
title. His later performances jus,
titled rating him one of the best
of the juvenile division.
Ladder was another Late
horse" last season. The son of
Ladkin-PanOply did not get
his racing legs in their best
trim until late in the year.
His double win in the Annap-
oils Handicap and the Pimlico
Homebred Stakes placed the
stamp of approval upon his sea,
sons campaign. Ladder defeated
some high-class rivals in both
contests.
Many have referred to Ladder
as a hard luck horse, something
always intervened to cost him a
race. He was second five times
His record is one which makes it
appear as if he had plenty Of
stamina. The fact he was running
his best after a campaign of lS
starts is proof he has gameness
in his makeup.
In the Pagebrook Purse, the
Salmon colt came from behind
to triumph. This is in deep con
traSt to most of his. races last
season. He formerly got ~ the
front and tired at the end. Most
of his defeats were sustained IN
the final yards.
The fact thOrOughbreds
change more between their
juvenile and 3-year-Old season
than at any other time may
mean Ladder has developed in
to a "stayer."
His great speed would make
him a decidedly dangerous rival
to meet if he can be made 20
carry it Over the full route.
The question of his lasting it
out will be decided in the run
ming of the Chesapeake on Sat
urday. The Salmon star is
scheduled to meet Equipoise,
Mate. Sweep All, Dark Hero,
Great Gu44, Siskin, Rip Van
Wrinkle and Ilium in this 3-year-
old stake. A good line will be had
on whether or not he is a
"stayer" in this mile-and-a-siX-
teenth contest. Also some idea Of
how the Eastern 3-year-old divi-
sion shapes up will be had in the
same event.
Mate will be given a chance
to redeem himself for his Page
brook Purse defeat. The A. C.
BoStwick star will be a starter,
barring accident. Freddie Hop,
kins will send Equipoise to the
post. The meeting between these
two turf idols will unquestion-
ably attract a large throng to the
Havre de Grace course. The out
come will be awaited with much
interest by the racing fraternity

MATE DEFEAT
SURPRISES

By TOM THORP

Ladder, son of Ladkin-Pan-
oply, belonging to Walter j. Sal
mon, popular New York sports
man, may prove the surprise Of
the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico
on May 9.
The superb victory of the Sal,
mon 3-year-old in the Pagebrook
Purse at Havre de Grace moves
him up into the ranks of the
contenders for the rich Maryland
classic.
Ladder proved his gameness oy
coming from behind to overtake
such a pair of speed marvels as
Magnifico and Panetian. In ad'
dition he outlasted the we'll
thought-about Mate to win the
six furlong allowance test in the
fast time of 1:12: "A real brilliant
performance for "first-outer."

The Bidding

MT. Henderson sat in the South position and opened the bidding with one club. West passed and North bid three clubs. East bid three diamonds and South went to five clubs. North then bid six clubs which became the final con tract.
 The Play
 West had the opening lead and led the top of his partners suit the king of iamonds-which was won in dummy with the ace. East playing the seven and South, the declarer. playing the five. Two rounds of clubs were then taken. on whcih East discarded the deuce and three of diamonds, South fol- lowing with the deuce and three of clubs, and West with the four and seven of clubs.
 The only chance that MT. Hem derson had to make his contract was to find the spades evenly dis tributed, and to find the king of hearts in the East hand. His next play is small spade from dum- my, which is won by South with the ace. Two more rounds of spades are taken, stripping North and South's hands of spades. A small club is then led and won in dummy with the ten spot, East dropping the six of diamonds. The four of diamonds is returned from dummy, East covering with the ten, and MT. Henderson, in the South, deliberately loses trick, discard ing the three of hearts. East is in the lead and if he returns a diamond, the declarer will discard the small heart from his own hand and trump in hte dummy with the jack of clubs. The only play for East to make is to lead a small heart. which the declarer allowed to ride to the dummy's queen which holds the trick. The last four tricks are good in the declarer's hand that is the three trump and the ace of hearts.
 By deliberately sacrificing a trick in order to get position play, MT. Henderson has made his contract of six clubs.
