FIELD OF SEVEN
ASSURED FOR
$4,000 RACE

Miami, March 3 - 1t looks like a
certain seven will start in the Wild
ener Handicap on Saturday. At
least that many, says racing Secre-
tary Charles McLennan, after
checking over the list Of "a eligibles
for the important mile and quar-
ter $4,000 classic which winds up
the 1914 winter meeting at Hialeah
Park.
The seven checked off as definite
starters, barring unforeseen mishap
between now and Saturday, are:
Sun Again, owner Calumet Farm,
jockey, T. Atkinson;
Marriage, owner Coward and Du
Puy, jockey, j. Higley.
Alquest, owner A. C. Ernst, jockey
j. Adams
-Four Freedoms, owner Greentree
Stable, jockey E. Arcaro;
Eurasian, owner Hawthorne Stable
jockey, H. Lindberg;
Bolingbroke, owner Ensign T. B.
Martin, jockey S. Brooks;
First Fiddle, owner Mrs. Edward
Mulrenan, jockey J. Westrope.
-Four of those probables are stakes
winners in the current winter rate
meetings. They are Sun Again, win
ner of the McLennan Handicap
here at Hialeah Park several weeks
ago; Marriage, winner of the New
Orleans Handicap two weeks ago at
New Orleans; -Four Freedoms, WIN
ner of the Palm Beach Handicap at
Hialeah Park early in the meeting
and First Fiddle, winner of stakes
race at the Fair Grounds in New
Orleans in December. Prior to this
winter Sun Again won the Riggs
Handicap at Pimlico, was second in
dead heat to Alsab in the Freak
ness.
Marriage Is little orphan Of the
turf. He started out rather modestly
and was claimed by Hirsch Jacobs
for $1,400 several years ago. Under
his handling he improved but was
then claimed from Jacobs for SIS 900.
In the colors Of his new owners,
Coward and DuPuy, Marriage de-
veloped remarkably and is now
rated one of the better handicap
runners in training. He Is always q
running horse and therefore a de-
finite threat ever against the best
of them.
Has Some Class
Alquest has only one stakes vic
tory to his credit, that two-year-
old triumph in the Spaulding Lowe
jenkins at Laurel in 1912. But he
has a touch of class and his owner
and trainer regard him as of stakes
caliber. He won a mile and an
eighth pre-view Of the Widener here
on Saturday in rather handy FASH
ion.

a Grand Slam. The Columbus

the same time he helped crack two
relay records.
Until he went to Great Lakes
Smiths only superstition was that
he steered clear OF the water on

It Is fitting that Seaman Second

they tread aqua like flying fish.

the stretch battle for playoff posi-

race today by pulling up even with
Toronto in third place, while De-
troit closed Its books for the sea-
son with the New York Rangers
showing q profit of eight victories
and one tie against one defeat.
Chicago gave 1913 home fans
the benefit of late finish and won
to from Boston Bruins last
night. The Blackhowks at one
time were behind to / after Bos-
ton had rallied on successive goals
by Pat Egan and Norm Calladine in
the second period. Clint Smith
scored twice for the winners with
Bong Bentley and Billy Mosienko
getting the others. Bentley put Chi
cago ahead with his shot in the
final 10 seconds of the second period
and the Hawks never again were
headed. Bentley moved into Sec
ond place in the league scoring
race with SO points, while Mosienko
moved to fourth with 81 and Smith
reached fifth spot with go.

mauling the Rangers mercilessly in
previous visits there this season
Adam Brown paced the winners with
three goals with Carl Liscombe tap
ping in two and Bill Quackenbush
getting the other. Johnny Mahaffy

Alb Demarco, CASTOR Gauthier and
