other turn today with the an
nouncement that John Marsch's
unbeaten Free For All would be
retired for the season, and the un-
expected triumph of Claud c.
Tanners Best Effort in the $4,000
Cowdin Stakes at Aqueduct.
After watching his highly regard
ed Errard finish third behind Best
Effort and War Jeep from Mrs.
Elizabeth N. Grahams Maine
Chance Farm in the Cowdin, Marsch
said that Free For All would not
face the barrier again as a 2-year-
old because Of bad front ankles.
Winner Of five straight races ard
$109 ,575, to rank with Walter M.
Jefford's Pavot as the only unde-
feated 2-year-olds OF the year, Free

already sore ankles bothering him
more than ever.
Nevertheless. he was shipped TO
New York, with the September 30
Belmont Futurity and q meeting
with Pavot as his objective.
Pavot to Point for Derby.
Pavot has seven straight and
S125 $50. When the son Of Question -
naire failed to show improvement,
Trainer Burley Parke and Marsch
decided to send him back to Tom
Piatt's Kentucky farm. There he
will be fired and pointed for the
1945 Kentucky Derby.
Marsch had expected much Of
Errand IN the 61a -furlong Cowdin.
He had beaten Best Effort three

But after fighting War Jeep for the
early lead today the son Of Chal-
lenger I'd weakened as the New
Orleans owned Best Effort came
from third place to score by IA
lengths in 1:183. War Jeep was
another three lengths in front of
Errand. Neither Best Effort nor
War Jeep is eligible for the Belmont

Post Time At
Delaware Park
WILDE At $3.50
New Time Is Thirty Min
utes Later Than In Pre-
viOus Years; There
Will Be 8 Races Daily.

The Delaware Park 1914 post
time will be 1880 p. m. eastern war
time,--thirty minutes later than in
previous years. This decision was
reached following meetings be-
tween track authorities and those
dealing with war activities in the
Wilmington area. Again eight
races will be run and every effort
Will be made to adhern to a pre-
else schedule in order that race
gOers may be able to accurately
make their own transportation
plans under current war condi-
tiOns.
Wartime changes in racetrack
post times have been frequent, the
most notable one being the estab-
lishment of a twelve o'clock start
ing hour for the combined meet
ings in Maryland That departure
from Maryland tradition was
made to support the war effort and
make use of Baltimore facilities
when they were not in use by the
war plants.
Present post time in New York
at Belmont Park is 1:30 while
t h at Naragansett Park i s 2:3O.
In the case of Delaware's $3.50
starting hour. it was found by
authorities that the avoidance of
the present period was desirable,
so that those going to the track,
and coming from it, would not in
terfere with wartime and other ac-
tivities
