Ribbon Event Is to Be Ree vived To-Day at Bel- mont Park—Cham- pion Roamer Has Refused the Issue. By Vincent Treanor. The Suburban Handicap, the erat- while blue ribbon event of the Amert- can turf, is revived to-day at Belmont Park under the auspices of the Em- pire City Racing Association, As « turf classic no event exceeds it in im- portance. Up to last year it has been 4 battle of champions, and despite the absence of the great Roamer from this afternoon's field, the 1916 struggle for the $6,000 added money should go down in history as one of the most spirited contests that has ever mark- ed the running of the annual feature, Nover has a better nor more evenly matched Jot been named to face th» barrier, There have been more valu- able Suburbans in the past from & monetary standpoint, but none which brought together such well matched | horses. A causal look at the eleven entries and the ordinary racegoer hoping to pick the probable winner is up in the air, #0 to speak, As official handicapper Vosburgh has allotted the weights after a careful analyals of what each horse has done in public, | every starter seems to have a chances VOSBURGH WEIGHTS EQUALIZE! THINGS IN BIG RACE. Sometines the handicapper is fool- ed, but rarely. His job is to assign weights that will equalize things in handicap fields, and apparently he has done so to-day, if one can over- Jook the light impost on Tarter, who already bas won the Long Beach Handicap and the Brooklyn, In tb latter event ‘Tarter beat Roamer at a difference of twenty-two pounds and had twenty-five on Barrow, who ran third the same day, To-day Mr, Vos- burgh takes two pounds off Barrow and adds tive to Tartar, in an attempt to bring both closer together, Tartar is only @ little horse and does his best only under light weight, but Roamer ia aw little horse, too, still Mr. Vos- burgh has never shown such con- sideration for his size, The race from 4 handicapping standpoint ts treated elsewhere, along With the other events that Ke up the opening day's pro- gramme and it wasn't meant to go into a ‘further treatise of the mupiect here. 40,000 USED TO MAKE SUBURBAN A HOLIDAY, Khun for years at old Sheepshead, which is now being converted in an automobile racing plant, the Subur- ban has always been a big attraction, Forty thousand was an ordinary Subiban Day turn out and this crowd made the event a holiday in the sporting world, To-day, racitig is not quite steady on its feet, @ gathering of at least 15,000 is ex- pected to see the race run at Belmont, Everything ig in readiness for such an assemblage, Uniess rain falls before post time the Suburban will be run over a Hghining fast track, which has been | harrowed and rolled until it hag the) sinoothness of a broad brown ribbon encircling an infield carpet of green. ‘The horses will run the reverse way as has been the custom at Belmont Park ever since its opening, but this isn’t likely to interfere with the can- didates, for the majority of them have been prepared over the course, All the nominees for the big race were on edge this morning. Bach was given a breather and a cooling out, and returned to his stall to dock about half an hour before race time.

By Bozeman Bulger. N knocking themselves out of the lead and opening the way for an old-time Giant rally, the Cubs were impressed with two ileas im- mensely important in propagating the more or less national pastime: 1, To make a home run ft is neces- well as the other two. 2. It is essential, in preventing run on a double steal, that the bail be thrown to the plate instead of first base. These subjects were discussed at great length and with greater vim| by one Roger Bresnahan in th course of a blistering oration admin- istered to his charges in the club- house after the Giants, rising from an obscure corner, had smitten them with the bare hand. ‘The culprits upon whom these re- marks centred were Mr. Williams and the redoubtable Heinte Zim, Roger had not misdirected his words, One- from the total of the Cubs after Williams had hit a home run, was already over the plate and the tally i had been tucked into the official score. Loud cries from Jobn Lobert at that moment indicated that some- thing was wrong, and when the ball was turned over to John he touched 4t to the cushion and Mr. Eason de- clared Williams out. He had cut third base by several feet. The next blow that staggered! Roger and resulted in a run being awarded to the Giants free of charge was the result of Heinte Zim stalling pleased to call bis thinking machin- ery. Burns was on third and Robert- son on first, when the latter essayed a steal of second. Archer shot the ball to Heinie Zim just ‘es Burne started for the plate, Forgetting that Burns was rushing homeward, Heinle Zim threw to the first base man to catch Robertson in a chase. As a result both men were safe and fa very important tally appeared on the Giant sheet. Now," said Roger, in concluding his tragic remarks, “if either of those plays had been made by brains in- stead of bone we would have been out of our slump and the Phillies NATIONAL uRgooe Bi # as, Ww Gtap.

It was the most satis- fying finish of the year at the Polo Grounds, and gave the fans a feeling that the old-time fighting spirit has again infested our Giants, and that there is yet a chance. Going into the ninth with two runs needed to win, Fred Merkle complete- ly crossed the Cub infleld by dropping a bunt toward third and by a great sprint beating it out with two feet to spare, Expecting a hard wallop, the whole infleld was playing on the edge of the outfield grass. Fred's quick thinking enabied him to take advan- tage of such a situation, and really won for the Giants. It put them on their feet. Lobert got an infield hit and Snodgrass also scratched one safely, filling the bases, Young Wen- | dell had the chance of his life to make good, but was called out on strikes, All the available pinch-hitters hav- jing been used, the blanket was taken |from Young Brainard, and he came out of the paddock full o&pep. As a |pinch-hitter the youngsteF delivered. Tt was a clean single to centre, That's all, Some finish, eh! As the Glants were lambasting the Cubs, the Phillies, by the ald of the marvellous Alexander, shut out the Pirates and climbed back into the leadership after an absence of several weoks. But they are there by the skin of their teeth only and a goo would shake them loose to-day. | Brooklyn had a great chance to el- bow her way through the leaders, but fell before the Reds, after having ; beaten the Cubs four straight games. As the gang continues their squabble | about the leadership the Glants are | crawling closer and closer. About three more victories and they'd be ready to swing a wallop. | | Having got @ line on several prom- | | turned loose Mai McHale, the Broadway Thrush; Pete Daley and Southpaw Cottrell. McHale goes to Montreal and Cottrell to Richmond, where he will labor for Jack Dunn. Rumor has ft that the Yanks are about to win out in a four-cornered fight for Frank Miller, the senea- tional pitcher of the Montreal team, and it 1s believed that McHale’ Fe. lease will ure in the Yanks are after Outflelder Paul Smith of the same club. ‘The only thing that stood between Charl in and a big day for the Giants was Umpire Byron, Just after Dooin had made himself solid with the fans by a two-base blow, Mr. Byron, who appeared to be unusually fractious and bellicose, called him out on strikes and then ordered him off the field for frowning. Practically spoiled his whole afternoon.

HERD is a growing tendency among golf club officials to make their courses more play- may have more of a chance to enjoy the game. For some time it was the custom of the leading clubs to ses how dificult their links could be made. Cour@es were fairly cluttered up with bunkers and traps placed to catch the shot that was just the least bit poorly played. The work of stiffening the links ap- pealed to the professional and class A amateurs, but the uncomplatni duffer was left to his own fate, whit was generally one of the troublesome traps that greens committees so freely scattered around, As the army of golfers with only ordinary ability grew by the tens of thousands the club officials suddenly awakened to the fact that this great class of players should be catered to a little, and they tried to arrive at a happy medium by not making the links too difficult, The tendency in this difection ts best seen in the announcement of the magnificent Lido links at Long Beach, L. L, which says that its course has been designed and laid out for the average golfer. Comment before the last Metropol- itan open championship that the Fox Hills links, the scene of the tourna- ment, were so easy that extremely low scoring would result, brought a« reply from E. H. Prindle, Chairman of the Greens Committee, who sal the course was laid out and bunkere to suit the Fox Hills members, the ones who got the most enjoyment and use from it. Other clubs, too, have followed this example, Now they are not building their courses so hard that only the most prominent golfers can play them | with any amount of success, Tom Boyd, the new Fox Hills pro- | fessional, was an assistant at a Lon- don club before coming over here last winter, Harold Hilton recommended him to the Fox Hills Club. Boyd's work has been so satisfactory that the club has sent the great English cham pion a vote of thanks for his election. Ford, Ex- Yankee Pitcher, Let Out By the Buffeds BUFFALA, N. Y., July 14—Ruseell Ford, former Yank twirler, inventor of the “emery ball,” and last season the foremost twirler in the Federal League, has been given his uncondi- tional release by the Buf-feds. Inability to make good without the emery ball, which was put under the ban by the Federal League at the close of last season, occasioned his release. Ford has won only two games so far this season. Last year he won twenty-one games out of twenty-seven. —_—_—.——— MONTREAL ENTRIES.
