E unconditional release of Fred Inodgrass and the rumored re- quests for waivers on others of the various Giants would indicate that McGraw has decided to give up t patching up the ol machine and that he will start at the tirely new.

Fast Going at Saratoga Has Worked Wonders in Horses Trained by Rowe —_————— Noted Handler of the Whitney String Has Saddled Winner Every Time He Sent Entry to Post Since Saturday. By Vincent Treanor.

When he recently said that the first two weeks of continuous rain had cost his stable $20,000 he uncon- sciously tipped his hearers off on what to expect of his charges under normal conditions, Since Saturday Rowe has \saddied four starters and all have been returned winners. On Saturday he won the Saratoga Special with Dominant, on Tuesday Regret took the Saranac Handicap and her full brother Thunderer galloped home at the first asking. Yesterday Rowe sent Bromo to the post in the Grab Bag Stakes and he “rolled” home under a well judged ride by Tommy McTi All these horses and others too might have won earlier in the meeting but for the muddy track for it is known that Rowe rarely starts a high class horse when the going isn’t at leagt good. | Rowe didn’t think Bromo a good thing yesterday because of his poor showing in his last race. He told “Majah” McDowell before the that he couldn't ering on Bromo’ would not “‘lay’ has a couple of other port silks here and j {with him speculatively, “What's going to happen to Tuck- jey?" The question was on every- | body’s tongue after Old Salt won the Steeplechase yesterday. Old Salt had | started in a four-horse race, ridden by |Tuckey on Monday last and finished @ disgraceful last, beaten according to the charts 51% lepgths. The per- formance was shocking to those who had seen the horse run and jump to many an emy victory. He had no P any stage. Yesterday Old Salt went again, this time with Tighe in the saddle, He had speed to burn. He went to the front whenever he liked apparently. When half-mile from home he was d: ack off t nd through. Meanwhile Bryndown d Indian Arrow went on in a two- horse race fashion. They cleared the last jump together and Old Salt was lost sight of, Bryndown and Indian Arrow were having a whip and spur battle of it on the flat when Old Salt came from nowhere and ran over the top of both of them, His performance compared with his race under Tuckey ‘was as different as day and night. Nothing had happened to Tuckey up to this writing, It's funny what a difference blink- ers will make in the running of some horses.

Casino cup singles to-day, Williams made a poor beginning against William Jonnston, the young CaMfornian, but finally pulled out the match. The back court playing of Johnston was fine at the close, al- though he could not check the on- slaught of the champion at the net. McLoughlin had all he could do to overcome the cut and chop stroking of Wallace F. Johnson, the Pennsyl- vanian. They had a battle over the court with the comet making frequent blunders of returns as he tried to hit the low bounding ball, McLoughlin gave a fine display of speed in the final set.
