EW YORK, June 9—Zev, son N when the the stakes stable eclassic Belmont star of Rancocas ZEV, VICTOR IN BELMONT | STAKES, WINS TURF TITLE of The Finn-Miss Kearney, carried the Rancocas silks to victory today in the old Belmont stakes, among the best known American turf classics, and established himself as the top of the 1923 three-year-old division. The same courage and dash that marked his triumph in the Ken- | tucky Derby and in the Withers carried the sturdy Rancocas colt under | the wire an easy winner over as likely a band as ever faced the barrier in the more than fifty years of Belmont stakes history. | Harry Payne Whitney's Chickvale finished second, & length and a half behind Zev, and Rialto of the Green- tree stable, which ran coupled with Chickvale, was third, four lengths away from Chickvale. | Zev's time, 2 minutes 13 seconds, | was exceptionally good for the mile and three furlongs, considering ti condition of the track, which was slow and dead. Zev's earnings were increased $38,000 by the victory. Earl Sande maneuvered Zev in front of his fleld in the opening strides of the race. Martingale, the J. S. Cosden colt, which ran second to Zev in both the Derby and the Withers, attempt- ed to force the early pace. August Belmont's Messenger started behind Martingale, with the fleld far back. Entering the stretch Martingale cracked. Chickvale saved ground by hugging the rail and moved Into second plac while Rialto mosed ahead of Messen ger for third position. Miss Smith, Hyperfon and All American never | { were in the running. Zev's- vietory brought his total earnings for the season to the hand- some sum of §117,500. He took down $53.600 in the Kentucky Derby, $18.300 in the Withers, $3,250 in the Rainbow and $4.600 in the Paumonok. which, when added to $38,000 for the Bel- mont, results {n the handsome total mentioned. There -was just one regret to be assoclated with Zev's brilliant vie- tory in the Belmont. - Vigil, which won the Preakness and finished sec- ond to Zev and Martingale in the Kentucky Derby, did not start. He was the one many flgured qualified to furnish the acid test over the route for Zev or any other man's horse. He was withdrawn not because of track conditions, but because of slight indisposition that made it perilous to| subject him to such a rigorous test. Otherwise no classier competition could have been furnished than the field which Zev beat. Everything but Vigil that had given even the slight- eat intimation of champlonship class was offered to him. But one after the other gallant Zev knocked them all for a row of tin kettles, ARMY FOURS WILL STAGE INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS Totals.. 34 1187 10 | | By the Associated Press | pionship the polo The they had EW YORK, June 9—Representative American armies will meet ‘at the Meadowbrook Club the first week in September in the first of an annual series of polo cham- | matches, marking a new departure in international polo events, association announced today. association received word today from British army officials that arranged to send the champion British army poloists to America | in the running high jump here today, teams of the British and in the early fall for the Meadowbrook event.

PRINCETON, N. I, June 9.— Squadron A Dolo team defeated Princeton’s horsemen today, 11 to It was Princeton’s second defeat of the season. Acceptance by the British arm the association’s Invitation was due principally to the offices of Gen. Pershing, who communicated to gen- eral, the Earl of Cavan, chief of the general staff of the British army, the hope that such events would “lead not only to the development of polo in the respective armies, but would tend to foster and extend the pleas- ant relations between the natfons.’: The Polo Assoclation was advised that the British general staff, includ- ing Lord Derby and Field Marshal Halg, had accepted the proporition with' enthusiasm equalling that of Gen. Pershing, and that thelr accept- ance was announced soon after the proposal was made. | The event will be decided by the| best two out of three matches. A remarkable growth of enthus- fasm for polo in the American Army, coupled with the success of its team in winning the junior polo cup last year, the Polo Assoclation stated, had ied it to arrange Internationl con- tests which will be played alternately n England and the United States. The Army has acquired a number of fine polo mounts for use of its more than 1,000 first-class players and it is probable that a preliminary tourney will be held by the Army some time in August to determine the personnel of the American team.

Taber. Old-timers, how- ever, were agreed that the conditions under which Taber made his record were much more favorable than to- day. Ray was clocked at the quarter in 59 3-5 seconds; at the half 2:07 2-5 end at the three-quarter mark at 8:18. Two Harvard men, W. L. Chapin and J. N. Watters, finished ahead of Ray. Chapin had a 125-yard han cap while Watters had 100. Patrick Kennedy of Yonkers, N. Y. who started from the 35-yard mark, found the going too hard and Ray left him in the second lap.
