OLD ROSEBUD WINS Racer Easily Captures the Bayview Handicap on Aqueduct [Track Opening Day. iNew York, Bept. 18.—Ole Rosebud, Je handicap king, which came pret- near dying at Saratoga, proved fat he was a very live horse yester- when he won the Bayview Handi- at a mile and a sixteenth, and jualed the Aqueduct track record of 44 8-6. The performance of the son 'Uncle added another to the long list remarkable feats accomplished by proughbreds this season. He car- d the heavy impost of 133 pounds, d led his fleld from end to end, to the judges two lengths in front James Butler's Capra, which had *the only one of the seven start- able to keep step with the sizzling 1y pace set by the winner. 'he fact that Old Rosebud was mak- his first appearance since he was with an attack of indigestion hat threatened to end his racing ca- r was enough to draw a capacity d for the opening day of the Bint meeting that will run for three at Aqueduct under the auspices ¢ the Queens County Jockey club and BEmpire Clity Racing Association. ed as an experiment in response p the calls from owners for more op- ortunities to race, the inaugural day’s lport was so full of vim, and the en- fhusiasm so great, that there can be 0 doubt of the success of the venture. Even without the thrilling perfor- Inance of the great Western horse, here would have been excitement Lnough to make amends for the many hull days spent at Belmont Park. Good helds turned out for all except the pteeplechase event, and the conclud- ng race was so flercely fought out hat another track record was equaled hen W. P. Orr's Leochares was orced to show the speed that made him a Winter wonder In order to beat e crack sprinters opposed to him in fhe handicap at six and a half fur- longs. Leochares ran the distance in 1:18 times that was credited to James R. Keene's Maskette in 1910. The merit of the performance was en- hanced by the fact that Leochares was well taken care of by the handi- capper in carrying the top weight of 124 pounds. D000 OB womty M INDIANS BLANK TORONTO.

The Sox won the series, three games out of four, and this year's series, thirteen games out of twenty-two. It was the last road game the Red Sox are required to play this season. They return home with only a tiny shred of pennant hope left.
