ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
13.-Clem spoiled Round Ia
ble's ascension to Nashua's all
time money winning throne
here today with a record
smashing, halfrlength victory
over the Kerr Stables Million
aire colt. the 3-5 favorite in
the 100000 United Nations
Handicap.
Round Table cut loose pow
erful stretch challenge in an
effort to catch the front-run-
ming Glen. owned by Mrs.
Adele l.. Rand, but his best fell
half a length short as the crowd
Of 26.444 roared at the thrill
ing photo finish.
1t was apparent in the final
yards that Round Tables vail
ant bid was falling short. IRON
ically. it was Willie Shoemaker.
who had ridden Round Table
in 81 races, who was driving
Glen home with his patented
skill and beating a partner
who had carried him to a series
of brilliant triumphs.
Spotted Glenn II Pounds
Isrnael Valenzuela, the final
choice of the Kerr Stable for q
rider after Eddie Arcaro's un-
expected withdrawal yesterday,
piloted Round Table and there
was no criticism of his perform
ance-no excuse other than
the weight difference.
Round Table toted 1870
pounds and spotted Glen, also
a four-year-old colt, II pounds.
Glen was the light weight in
the field of twelve.
Third money went to Green
Dunes Farms Combustion II
who circled the field and fin
ished three lengths behind
Round Table. Mrs. S. H.
Sadacca's A Dragon Killer, the
only three-year-old in the race,
gained fourth.
Glenn, who is trained by Bill
Stephens, was second choice
and paid $1l.O0, 1920 and $3.50
across the board. Round Table
returned a meager $2.40 and
$500 as the show bettors poured
Eit on the Kerr colt, and Com
bustion II. 14-1 shot paid
$500 for third.
Breaks Iceberg ii Mark
Glenn, who is named for Glen
Mccarthy, the well-known for
mer race announcer, toured the
closely cropped mile and three
Sixteenths of grass in l.543s,
shaving a full second and q
fifth of the old mark estab-
lished by Iceberg II here five
years ago when he won the
same race.
Round Table. who needed
first money to replace the re-
tired Nashua as the worlds
richest race horse, got $4,000
for his consolation prize-anS
now has won $1,263,114, just
$25,45l short of the record.
Glen added $65,O0O to his earn
ings.
Nashua, who retired in 1856,
earned $1.28S,565 in his re-
markable career. Round Table
is expected to make his next
bid for the dollar championship
in Belmont's 100000 Wood
ward STAKES two weeks from
today.
Unhappily for Round Table,
Glenn. received his invitation to
the United Nations race only
this week after many other
stables had declined for various
reasons. Invitations are Of
fered from the list of weights
made by Racing Handicapped
James Ross here and Glenn was
far down. one of ten pegged
at 113 pounds.
First Defeat on Grass
1t was Round Tables first de-
feat on a grass course. He had
won eight straight on the turf.
For Glen it was his second
straight stakes triumph and
both we're over Round Table. In
their last meeting at Chicago,
Glen upset Round Table in the
one-mile Washington Park
Handicap.
The field broke smoothly at
the top Of the stretch in the
United Nations and Glenn,
springing from the No. II gate,
sprinted to the front with
Round Table 4th but not far OF
the pace.
The confederate gray silks of
Mrs. Rand bounced along in
