The big imported colt for which Wilfred Viau of Montreal re- cently paid $26,500 to C. K. G. Bill- ings and Frederick Johnson was fol- lowed home by Harry ney’s Rickety, Andrew Miller's Tick- et and August Belmont's renowned Hourless in the order named. There were no other starters. The coronation took place on a throne of mud and in a drizzling rain and was witnessed by only a handful of race-goers. The storm kept the attendance down to less than 3,000, but those who saw the contest ever will remember the heroic effort of the victor. Neither will they forget how Hourless, hitherto unbeatable, was outrun all the way and quit a furlong from home. Omar Khayyam won because of his July 12.—By virtue of furlong from his goal he stretched his stride and neck to mightier effort and it had the desired result. It brought him home the victor a neck in front of Rickety and nearly a sixteenth of a mile ahead of Ticket and Hourless. Hourless the Favorite. The race was at one mile and a furlong, which tested both the speed and stamina of the contestants. | Omar Khayvyam had been a contender for the title since the beginning of the year. He won world wide fame | by winning the Kentucky Derby and | last week added to this fame by de- feating the mighty Campfire in the Prospect Stakes. Still there were few racegoers who | believed his could beat Hourle: Mr. Belmont's colt had won all his races, including the Withers and Belmont stakes, from select flelds in com- manding style, and in the opinion | of a majority of racegoers was in a: class by himself. a result he was ! made an 4 Ordinar- | ily Omar Khayyam would have been | a close second choice, but before the contest it was reported that he did not like to race in the mud.

Wallace Daddy of AllL In point of big league service Wal- lace is the daddy of them all; he came into the National League in 1895, one year before Lajoie broke in, two years before the name Wagner first appeared in a National League box score, five vears before Mathew- son’'s big league debut and eleven vears before Coombs pitched ais first gzame for Connie Mack. ‘Wallace, however, is a few months younger than Hans Wagner. Honus was 43 years old last February and Rhoddy will not be 43 until next November. Lajoie is the youngest of the trio, and will not be 42 un:l next September. Eddie Plank of the St. Louis Browns is 42. Rhoderisk started reer in 1894 with the Clarion, Pa. team as pitcher, and in 1895 he joined Pat Tebeau's Cleveland Na- tional League team. Wallace pitched for Cleveland two seasons until an accident to Chippy McGarr, the old Cleveland third baseman, sgave Rhoddy a chance to show his ability as an infielder.

Wallace, with many of the other Cleveland stars, was shifted to the St. Louis Nationals in 1900, where Rhoddy was moved over to shortstop ind became the leading shortstop of the day. During the American league war he jumped to the Browns, and hi alary and those of Willie Keeler and Nap Lajoie were reported to be the biggest of that era. Wallace was supposed to have received a five-year contract, calling for §10,000, for jumping to the Browns. In 1911 Wallace was promoted to manager of the Browns and held the post until midseason of 1912, when | he turned his thankless job over to George Stovall. Tn tried his luck as umpire in the American league, but didn't find it congenial and last season he was back with the Browns as utility infielder. Until a few davs ago Wallace was playing manager of the Wichita Western league team. Perhaps if the Yankees are unable to get a hitting outfielder they might draft Dan Brouthers from the Polo Grounds emergency squad.
