Applegate's clever colt, Jack Hare, Jr., ran away with the first im- portant three-year-old stake of the | year here yesterday, when he took down the Wilmington Stakes, a five- | and-one-half-furlong test, with more than five lengths of daylight separat- ing him from the rest of the field. A soft muddy track militated some- what against the performances of the others In the contest, but the going did not bother Jack Hare, Jr. Al- ! though he made a comparatively mis- erable showing in his first out of the ason last Tuesday, Jack Hare, Jr., | came back yesterday as if the work of his first race was just what was ! needed to put him on edge. From the rising of the barrier to the judges’ stand, Jack Hare, Jr., made each furlong post a post. K. McBride's Charlie Leydeck er hung onto the leader for:'the firs | half of the journey, but to hold the speed, and faltered such an extent toward the end of the race that Emil Herz's imported High Cost almost won second mone Charles Leydecker got the place by a head, and High Cost was a nose in front of J. S. Tyree's Sweep Up. Trainer A. Simon exhibited another clever two-year-old from Harry Payne Whitney's stable in the first race of the day. It was Cresson, a filly by All Gold-Bonnie Star, and proved the amina of its once-famous father by coming from behind in the last fur- long to gain its winning brackets in the final strides of the contest by a nose from §. Ross’ Armonda. Cres- son raced in eclose pursuit of the others,, saved ground on the turn into | the stretch, and held on with enough ! courage in the final strides to out- tgame its rivals i o SPITBALL IS BARRED Fine and Suspend Pitcher Guilty of Using Mofst Delivery.
