The intermediate match saw R. H Stevensen provide the edge that en- abled Duke to take two or three games from Harvard. In the clos- ing contest, Curtis Shattuck, again bowling alone for Rutgers, with the aid of W. S.

Not one of the leaders | escaped. | Ned Reigh was highly regarded as a Kentucky Derby prospect, but the eolt contracted a shipping fev- er on the journey to Churchill Downs and never went to the post |in the classic, or for the rest of |the season, for that matter. Bold Venture won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness but right after that bowed a tendon and was thrown out of tra’.ing for the rest of the season. Thus . very prom- |ising career was halted just as it | blessomed out, The biggest disappointment of the season was Brevity. The Wid- jener colt earned the Derby fav- jorite’s rating in the winter books | lafter having burned up the track . |in Miami. Brevity's record-breaking \performance in the Florida Derby |raised the hopes of all who favored {winter campaigning for 3-year-olds. No colt that raced on the winter |tracks ever won the Kentucky Der- iby. A Brevity victory in the Blue |Grass classic would have vindicated the judgment of winter racing sup- ‘,x,rr.ers The hopes and money of |Florida horsemen rode on Brevity. When Bold Venture caught Brev- ity in the dash down the home- stretch and then outgamed the picture colt to the wire it was a idistinet shock to his many admir- lers and supporters. But subsequent events proved that Bold Venture's vitcory was no fluke. Brevity never regained winter form and after los- ing in the Withers mile was thrown out of training. Jinx Catches Granville Coldstream, highly favored in the winter books for the Kentucky Derby, disappointed and fell by |the way. Mr. Bones, another likely- looking colt, went wrong is the !Arlington classic and no more was heard of him. Hollyrood dropped from the picture after the Detroit Derby. Granville started out as the hard- luck colt of the season. He lost his irider at the very start of the Ken- |tucky Derby, lost in the Wood Memorial, the Preakness and the |Suburban Handicap by inches. After that the colt was well nigh {unbeatable. He won the Belmont, |the Arlington classic, the Kenner, |the Travers, and the Saratoga cup, another pennant winner before quitting baseball.

Back to Stud Farm The injury was not a serious one | and seemingly did not cause the colt any great distress. He showed no signs of going lame, but his owner decided not to risk perma- nent injury. The colt's ankles were always inclined to fill up tempor- arily after a hard race so he was retired to the Belair Farm outside Md., where he was fired and turned out. From the standpoint of winnings, Granville was the best thorough- ed of the year. He led all Amer- ican thoroughbreds, regardless of , in the matter of prize win- nings with a total of $110,295 to bring his lifetime earnings up to $111,820. He won seven of eleven tarts this past season. Brevity and Bold Venture have esumed training with an eye to some the rich stakes offered in the future, but Granville's racing days are over. The son of Gallant Fox and Gravita has been leased for a period of five years for stud duty to Kenneth Gilpin and will near \hll(l ge of Boyce, Va.

Paul, in which the disbarment of the defendant is sought on charges of dishonest and sharp practices as an attorney, Assistant District Attorney G. W.
