BISCUIT CE7SP0ST
IN RACING ADMIRAL
Only Posting of 100000
Purse Is Main Detail Left
for Big Match.
By HUGH s. FULLERTON, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Although a
few details remain to be Strengthened
out-mainly the one of putting up the
necessary 100000 purse-the match
at Belmont Park between Samuel D.
Riddles War Admiral and Charles S.
Howard's Seabiscuit appears certain to
take American racing back toward the
good old days"
The conditions of the race were
ironed out for the most part yesterday
when Riddle conferred with Herbert
Bayard Swope. chairman of the New
York State Racing Commission. He
found the place, Belmont Park: the
date, between September Is and Octo-
Der /, and the conditions suggested by
Howard satisfactory.
Riddle even offered to agree to a
postponement in case the track should
be muddy and to give Seabiscuit the
post position. He did. however. suggest
q walk-up start because the Admiral is
bad actor at the post.
Details Left to Swope.
From San Mateo. Calf. Howard said
he favored a start from a standing
position or from stall gate, as Sea-
biscuit is not accustomed to walk-ur
and might be handicapped seriously.
Riddle. however, left such details In
Swope's hands, saying: Anything he
arranges is satisfactory to me-"
They both found the mile and a
quarter distance and the weight-for-
age impost of 1875 pounds on each
horse satisfactory and showed such
eagerness to arrange the match that

Continues Old Tradition.
The race will continue one OF the
Oldest traditions of the American turf
that Of matching two fast horses on
q winner-take-all basis. Although rec
ords show horse races were held on
Long Island as early as 1864. the first
great match was raced in 1923 between
American Eclipse, representing the
North, and Henry, the Virginia entry
Their hackers posted $4,000 a side and
American Eclipse won two out of three
4-mile heats.
For many years thereafter races
either were similar matches or con-
tests for trophies until the Queens
Plate was inaugurated in Canada in
1860 and four years later the Travers
was first run at Saratoga.
Match races continued from time to
time, however, and Man O. War, father
OF War Admiral and grandfather OF
Seabiscuit, won one of the greatest
