By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) BELMONT PARK, N. Y,, Oct. 20. —(United Press}-Two handsome aristocrats of the equine world, the class of British royal blood and the pick of the finest American stock will race at Belmont Park this af- ternoon for $100,000 and the crows of the horse kingdom. the Bnglish Papyrus, winner of Derby and descendant of the Joftiest British blue-bloods, will s speed over a distance of aaaie Tee ‘ a half with Zev, the champion three-year-old of America and a youngster who can hold his head high with the best of aristoo racy. 'To the winner will go $80,000 and all the glory and prestige attached to the victor in the first recognized race for the international champion- ship of their age. Attendance will be restricted only by the fence that bounds one of America’s most fashionable racing establishments and by the epots that can command only a_ fleeting glimpse of the two thoroughbreds es they speed around the track. Officinia of the westchester Rao ing association, under whose aus- pices the race {s being held, expect that the race will be witnessed by at least 75,000 spectators and the receipts no doubt will cover the $100,000 that was advanced in purse money and the expenses incurred in bringing the Derby winner to the United States and in promoting the race. Papyrus and Zev will be the prin- clpal actors in the finest turf show that has ever been arranged on an American track, but in the cast there will be two others carrying titles as the best in England and the best in the United States. Upon the British thoroughbred will be Steve Donoghue, the premier Jockey of England, and astride the ‘American three-year-old will be Earl Sande, one of the greatest of aM American riders and the idol of the American turf followers. The battle between these two thamplon riders will not p'ay a most vital pars in deciding the w'nner of the race, but it will furnish a feature for those who realize what a factor the battle of wits and the judgment under the silken caps of »the two little jockeys will play in getting the most out of thelr mount¢. ‘Weeks ago when a controversy was waging over the means of se- lecting the American color-bearer and when My Own, the Admiral Grayson colt, was being advanced as ® more deserving animal than Zev, it was feared that the good-looking Rancocas star might not parade to the post as a popular representative of Uncle Sam. Any resentment against Zev as the standard-bearer was subdued, if {t really existed, today, and while there were some who remarked that My Own should be getting ready for the race instead of Zev, they strung along !n support of the Ran- cocas colt on the theory that as long as he was to do the running he should be supported loyally. There was more than patriotism in the betting which established Zev as the favorite before the race, how- ever. Form bettors laid their money because they bel'eved the American thoroughbred to be a better horse than the English Derby winner. Papyrus, from the form shown tn his workouts, was not regarded as a set-up, but even if he possessed speed to match the better Zev, it was thought that he was greatly handicapped by running on a dirt track and racing under strange con- ditions. British fings flapped in the breeze alongside of the American colors on the top of the club house and grand- stand, the paddock and the infield, where thousands and thousands had gathered to stand ang watch the race, was a mixture of British and American fans, and a part of the music in the stands was furnished by the English band from the 8. 8. Aquitania, on which Papyrus and his staff made tho journey from England. Including al! the prominent sports- men of New York, business men and commercial leaders, professional men and ordinary fans, the crowd was almost as picturesque and as IOWA AND ILLINOIS 10 CLASH AT IOWA CITY IOWA CITY, Towa, Oct. 20—Al- though both teams will be made up of “green materiai,” each having only five veterans in their lineup, homecoming fans arriving here day expect to see to- of the greatest football games r staged on Iowa field when the University of Towa and I'linols clash this afternoon, Early indications were that more than 26,000 persons would attend the game.

Some criticism was reported from the United States when they heard the story over there that Donoghue had demanded $100,000 to ride the British contender in the race. Of course, he demanded nothing of the kind, but British sportsmen take the stand that he would have been worth it if he did demand it. es ORIOLES AND BLUES IN BALTIMORE FOR GAME BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. tlmore and Kansas City will clash here this afternoon in the fifth com: bat of their minor league series.
