Knickerbocker KEEPS
Turf Slate Clean
With Upset Win
Pays 40 to ! Taking
Metropolitan Mile
At Belmont Park
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20.-Knicker-
booker, 3-year-old chestnut son Of
Teddy, continued undefeated in his
turf career today by winning the
46th running Of the Metropolitan
Handicap Mile from a field of
older and all more highly regarded
horses, before a crowd of $4,000 at
Belmont Park.
Bringing the $500 winners share
OF the purse to Owner Joseph Z.
Wldener, Knickerbocker took COM
mand at the head of the stretch
and finished two lengths to the
good over Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt 5 Heelfly, after a hard run
down the last 18th mile.
Wins Only Juvenile Start.
The rangy chestnut never had
been to the races before last No
vember, but he won his only D
year-old start then, and took his
first 3-year-old outing just over
week ago. Despite that winning
record, and because of his youth
compared to the others, he was
the longest long-shot in the field
of eight, returning 40 to l to his
supporters in galloping the mile
in 1915.
Jockey F. A Smith, who was part
Of the 100 pounds aboard the lights
weighted Widener hopeful, rated
the colt we'll in the early going, as
Arnold Hangers He Did set all
the pact. Knickerbocker began
moving up at the half and poked
himself in front just as the field
came out Of the turn.
Rivals Seem to Touch.
Coming down the stretch Knick-
erbocker and He Did seemed almost
to be touching each other, but no
foul was claimed. In the 6-furlong
supporting feature, the Mad Halter
Handicap, Ariel Toy and Spillway
were disqualified, leaving Entracte.
with the victory.
Knickerbocker and Heelfy were
tralled across the finish by Edward
Friendly's 4-year-old filly, Jacola,
which missed the place by head.
The betting favorite. William Wood
wards unpredictable Fighting Fox,
moved up fast in the first quarter
mile. but then dropped right out,
Of it and finished fifth. Heelfy
paid to for place and Jacola
was 2-5 for show.

DID YOU KNOW?-That the first
jockey to sit doubled up on a run
ming horses back was Monkey
Charley" Verplanck, who used to
steer winners now and then in the
early days at Brighton Beach and
Sheepshead Bay. He rode with a
