Macomber, loomed up contender for championship .yesterday afternoon ut the Jamaica track. He returned to | the sport after a year's rest and out- footed 11 other fine three-year-olds in | the Stuyvesant Handicap in command- | ing fashion. Among those he left be- hind him were Willie Sharpe Kilmer's famed Sun Briar, which a host of turfmen.crowned as king of the juve- niles last.year, and Col. W. E. Apple- gate’s Jack Hare, Jr., which won the second half of the Preakness Stakes last week at Pimlico. Harry Payne Whitney’s Flags fin- | ished second and Jack Hare, Jr., took third end of the purse. Sun Briar was never a contender and landed home in sixth pasition. Motor Cop sped over the six-fur- long course on a track that was dull, if not slow, In the exceptionally fast | time of 1:12 1-5. It was Motor Cop’s second visit to | the starter and his secand victory. At the Belmont Park meeting last spring, in his debut, he beat a big fleld of high-class colts and fillies in a romp | in fast time. So good was that race that racegoers anxiously awaited his return to silks, but their wish was not gratified until yesterday. He had pulled up “sore” after his initial per- formance, and Walter Jennings, his trainer, “turned him out.” The long rest has done him a world of good, for he has developed into a much big- ger and better looking colt.
