100000 Day on June 9 at Belmont
Red Sox Continue in Player Market

HORSE followers and experts in the east estimate the race
card at Belmont park, New York, on June 9, Will be
worth approximately 100000. That is the day of the historic
Belmont stakes, generally regarded as the richest horse race
in the world. The feature is for 3-year-oldS and it IS expected
to gross 100000. Tradition does not make the Belmont
classic compare with the Kentucky Derby for widespread IN
terest, but it is usually a grand event, nevertheless, and IS
rated the Derby of the east.
On the same day as the Belmont, the Stallion stakes VIII
be run and this is another rich affair, the gross value OF which
is reported as $40, 900. Four other contests will be offered
on the June program, making a total of six events, which
gives the experts their 100000 estimate for the single
afternoon.
The Indianapolis 5OO-mie Speedway race will lead off the
year in the 100000 league, consisting of the $4,000 pot
offered by the race officials and supported by thousands OF
dollars in accessory prizes.
tom YAWKEY, the rich sportsman who brought American League
i baseball back to Boston, is said to have paid $125OOO0 for the Red

list did not like the old Fenway park plant that had been standing for
thirty years, SC he had most of it RACED and a new one built at the esti-
mated cost of 81, 200O 600. MI. Yawkey put out another chunk of coin yes

Exciting Tale Of
War Espionage

Apparently Gen. Winder had
no slightest doubt that Oper-
ator 13 was the real Miss Gle
burne; and he gave his orders
accordingly. So Chancellor met
the train in Richmond, and
placed the indignant young lady
under arrest.
That explained the mystery
to Operator 13-and accounted
for the prowling of Chancellor
around her dwelling.
"I've got to leave, of course"
she said quietly. IT couldn't go
back and face it out. They'd
trip me somewhere"
The scout agreed that they
ought to ride on Immediately,
but with great caution, be-
cause, he told her, he had
learned that all police patrols
had been doubled in the dis
trict, and there might even be
watchers already along this very
road.
'You needn't go with me,
john" she said.
II amt never quit nobody,
ma'am," he replied simply.
We'll, then. is it Mount

"YaaS'm."
Hard Riding
They have been cantering
their horses along the moonlit
road for half an hour, perhaps,
when Scobel rode up beside her
to whisper that there was an
other tavern ahead-the Red
Bird Inn-that they must pass.
Even as he was speaking they
saw light ahead.
"Ma'am," said the scout, 'I
reckon we gotta run our horses

, come to the house himself had
any question of her identity been
raised by Chancellor.
She seated herself in the dim,
cool stable to wait. It was tire
some. She went into box stall,
lay down on a heap of brittle
hay. The sun sank lower, and
when she saddled up again and
led out her horse, it was very
dusky outside; mist blotted the
bushy swamps. After the moon
glittered out, the first cat owl
whooped and howled with goblin
laughter.
The path of the road was the
path Of the moon, and in It's
brilliant light she could see Shad-
owy rabbits sporting in eltlike
ecstasy. It was now late enough
for her to expect the negro
scout; and very soon she heard
a horse galloping.
She had mounted and had
drawn and cooked her pistol,
when John Scobell galloped up
and called to her in guarded
voice; and she rode out to join
him.
The scout did not mince mat
ters. The train, he told her,
had come in at 8 o'clock. From
it descended the young lady
whose miniature he had seen
earlier that afternoon. And, as
she set foot upon the station
platform, VespaSian Chancellor
arrested her.
Then Scobell informed her
that vespasian Chancellor had
been on the same train with
the real Miss Cleburne; that,
learning her name, he had be-
come suspicious; had left the
cars, hired a fast horse, and
had ridden across country to
Richmond to consult the pro
vost'S office.

Fame VS.. Utility

The new United States Su.
preme Court Building will soon
be completed.
The chief justice and eight
associate justices will move to
new quarters, leaving vacant
one of the most historic rooms
in the Capitol.
The question has arisen as to
what will be done with the
room.
1t was suggested that it be
used for a committee room. A
storm of protest arose.
For in that room some of the
most famous figures in United
States history performed their
functions as national dignita-
ries.
Henry Clay, Jefferson Davis,
Daniel Webster, and John c.
Calhoun were among those Sen
ators who served there when the
room was used by the Senate
from 1850 to about 1875.
Therefore, old timers demand,
it must be preserved in it's
present state for posterity.

} tol, ma'am, an ride over them!
Now, ma'am"
AS they rushed out Of the
night into the lantern glare
ahead, the girl saw Vespasian
Chancellor spring to his feet on
the veranda and run for his
haltered horse; then Scobells
horse hit a mounted man and
knocked horse and rider half
way across the road; another
rider jerked his mount out of
the way as she hurled her gal
Looping horse straight at him.
Darkness swallowed them before
the first pistol shot flashed be-
hind them.
They had a long ride before
them to the Federal pickets, and
they settled down to it.
It was a flat, misty, moonlit
country, forest-set and with few
cultivated fields and fewer
houses. But farther on the land
became more uneven anu EOA4-
ing, with fewer woods and more
cultivated stretches; and it was
then that they heard the gallop
Of pursuit.
And now Operator IS and
John Scobell really began to
ride.
So near now was the pursuit
that those who followed them
fired on them now and then.
Now they were galloping in the
path of the moon again, along a
narrow, sunken road with high,
grasS6 banks, and Scoben called
out to her that the pickets were
two miles ahead.
