Lew, who scored 159 at Cleveland,
shot four-under-par 68 at Belle
Haven yesterday to win both the
pro sweepstakes and the pro-ama-
teur affair in little tourney staged
by the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. at
the picturesque and tough Virginia
course. Furthermore, he played
with strange clubs and with strange
shoes. His own clubs are on the
way back from Cleveland-he hopes.
Worsham had a 4-foot putt to
break the course record at Belle
Haven. but he missed it. Previously
he had holed everything in sight.
Boy, wish I could have putted
that way at Cleveland" he said.
With Walter Tuckerman. Burning

Racing may be as crooked as the
average fan who loses a 5000 bet is
willing to imagine, but the result of
Saturdays Belmont Stakes makes
one pause and wonder.
AS all know by now Bimelech
won main money in the rich event
while his only two 1910 conquerors
Gallahadion and Corydon, finished
fifth and sixth, respectively, in the
six-horse field. SO far we have heard
no complaints that the race was
fixed and it's unlikely that any
will be heard.
However, had the race been an
overnight claiming event souawks
as to its honesty would be a dime
a dozen. Bimelech. soundly licked
by Corydon in the Withers three
weeks ago and by Gallahadion in
the Derby five weeks back. turned
the tables on those two with ease
and in so doing won at distance
those defeats indicated were be-
yond his powers.
Well 1t Wasn't Claiming Race.
In order to show how the average
fan figures races let's say that the
Belmont had been a claiming race
at Bowie. Many would have bet
their money on Gallahadion and
Corydon off the strength of their
victories over Bimelech. Others
would have bet against Bimelech
because he had tired in the 1l4-mile
Derby and the Withers Mile. A race
at IL miles, they naturally would
have assumed, would be too much
for Black Toneys dusky son. Such
calculation would have been well
within the confines of logic.
However after the race many
of these fans, having lost their
money, would have screamed that
something was "phoney" We've
heard it too many times.
These cheap selling platers,' they
would have yelled. First John
Smiths horse wins and then Bill
Jones nag turns the tables. Sure
these claiming races are fixed"
But what do they say when stake
runners. the best in the land, do the
same thing? Nothing. There is nc
hint of doping. easy rides" and the
like. The fans shrug it off and
wonder aloud about the idiosyn-
crasies of thoroughbreds But they
are the same ones who sometimes
all too quickly condemn the defea

of horse that in many ways figures

just what happened to Bimelech
in the Derby and the Withers is
hard to say. Talk that the tracks
over which he ran were not to his
liking is weak. 1t was over fast
Belmont track that Bimelecn lost
the Withers-the same over which
he won Saturday. Some say that
Roman caused Bimelechs defeat in
both races by setting a dizzy pace
and then sticking to it when Blmmie
challenged him. Andy K did the
same thing Saturday that Roman
had done with success twice before,
but Andy's similar tactics were to no
avail and Andy K is every pit the
race horse that is Roman and pos
sibly a better one. But he couldn't
make the Kentucky colt lose So
these excuses can be thrown out.
There can be little doubt that
Bimelech was fit and ready for his
Derby and Withers efforts. Also,
that he was out to win both. Just
what really caused him to bow to
horses he figured to beat shapes up
as lone of those things" But had
Bimelech. Gallahadion and Corydon
been selling platers and running in

would have been long and loud.
Perhaps race horses are subject
to good and bad days, just like base
ball and football teams, boxers and
golfers, tennis players and track
men. But if they are, it's nothing
new, because owners and trainers
and race reporters long have ac-
knowledged that fact It's only the

Boy 0utgrows Ponies
Which Have Gained
Him Many Awards
David BeIdine Planning
To Sell Star Stable
And Buy q Horse

Few II any local or nearby snow
ring exhibitors have enjoyed the
success this year attained by David
Belding and his string Of three
ponies from Clinton. Md. So far the
ponies. Star Boy, Star Roam and
Star Way, have won two champ
pionships and 20 blue ribbons. Many
minor awards also have been picked
up. all in the space of two months
and in six shows.
The latest triumph Of this string,
called the Star Stable because the
first pony young Belding owned,
Star Boy, had a large white star
showing on his black coat, came at
Suitland last Sunday. AS usual the
ponies were entered in every class
for which they were eligible, six,
and despite tough competition from
about Is rivals they won the cham
pionship, reserve and four blues.
Winning for Four Years.
This sort Of thing has been going
on for about four years, soon after
David decided that he wanted
pony. David, then but 13 years of
age, and his father set out to find
likely prospect for the boy to ride
and show. They took an immediate
shine to Star Boy, tiny fellow with
the usual serious pony expression on
his dusky face.
At that time David knew nothing
about riding and so he called on his
friend, Mickey Magill who now is
riding numerous winners in horse
classes, to ride Star Boy in the
events at Suit1and. 1t was a win
ming combination, but David de-
clded that he would learn to ride
quickly as possible and show Star
Bay himself.
Maglll and few other friends
Joined to teach Dave all they knew
about riding and it wasn't long be-
fore he won his first blue. Success
was sweet and so he bought another
pony, Star Way, from U. S. Randle.
Star Way was named after Randle's
Way, big jumping horse that has
been one of the Fairfax sportsman's
best winners. Stable hands assured
Beldlng that Star Way had thus
been named because he was a pocket
edition Of Randles Way, especially
in jumping form.
Star Roam Just Arriving.
! Probably the best pony of the
bunch is Star Roam. which just is
coming into his own. Roam was
purchased two years ago and showed
talent last year as jumper. He's
won about 20 blue ribbons since the
spring OF 1899 and together with the
other two has won about 100 ribbons.
Star Roam has won reserve ribbons
at Marlboro and Suitland this year.
Star Boy won the championship
Sunday and also won the Columbia
title last month.
David has outgrown the ponies
lately and is going to sell all three
and buy horse. Bucky Magill,
Mickey's brother, has done most of
the riding for the Star Stable this
season, while David has restricted
himself to giving the ponies occa-
sional schoolings. Before the ponies
are sold they likely will be exhibited
at the Warrenton Pony Show
June %.
Unlike many ponies. those in the
Star Stable are quiet and we'll
hammered. They have proved them
selves safe and dependable as we'll
as exceptionally consistent. This is
attributed to the fact that they are
not overworked, the fate suffered
by some ponies whose owners and
riders are overly anxious to get the
most out of them.

Thus. Atlanta is in for the fight

think Dempsey is going to win.
Of course, if the advance sale
does not come up to expectations,
Mr.. Dempsey may forget his grudge
and Mr.. Luttrell may be persuaded
to forgive Mr.. Dempsey and punch
some other referee. The average

Every Now and Then
If you feel it is degrading for a
once great champion and Amer
lean idol to be hustling around
the country refereing wrestling
shows, and staging fake fights on
request, you have to remember that
Jack Dempsey has been free. wide
spender all his life, buyer for the
house and a soft touch for dead
beats. and he needs capital as much
as the next man, If not little more
so.
Mr.. Dempsey has been an ex-
athlete for 10 years, during which
time he has lived very heartily
His frame is getting corpulent, and
his jowls are plump as we'll as blue.
Against conditioned athlete less
than 80 years of age, old John would
be hopelesSly outclassed in any kind
of contest, including one with fists.
But do not be alarmed for his
safety In the coming bitter grudge
match with Cowboy Luttrell, 10
rounds or less. Business interests
would suffer if Mr.. Dempsey lost.
and I don't think business interests
are going to suffer.
It's too bad Monsieur Jack Curley,
the old freak promoter, is dead. He
might do something with this situa-
ton, at that Monsieur Curley could
persuade you that Mount Whitney
was on the level.
