The is going after the Ger | ever ATRONS of Red Cross Day at the races yesterday got the double cross, The fine looking card was cut to pleces by scratches and those who were attracted to the course found well padded fields re- duced beyond contention, For in- stance, twenty and four “also eligi- bles" were named to gd in the open- ing event, but only five faced the starter, In the second race the original field numbered nine, but only five cantered to the barrier, Eleven were named over night tn the Red Cross Handicap, but when the rac- ing crew looked up at the jockey board the field was reduced fo three, The fitth race saw seven out of a field of twelve go to the post, while the field of seventeen in the sixth was reduced by scratches to ten, If the programme had been an- nounced as it was run off a lot of regulars would have stayed at home. There certainly was little attraction jin the fields that actually fought It) | cut for the various purses, It ts seldom that one finds three horses running coupled in the betting as was the case in the last race at Aqueduct yesterday, Sanford started three, Nominee, Rockaway and Cola, Nominee won with Cochran's Cur- rency second and the odds on choice Bully Boy third, Bully Boy was regarded as almost a sure thing, H is the trick Madden recently sold for a fancy price, As is the vase with most maidens, he ran green, At the end, when it was too late, he was running over everything élse, HH probably is a rarely good colt and with this race in him will run to his early promise, Wille Knapp rode Old Rosebud to victory in the Ked Cross hands like 4 star, He layed off the pace with his 180-pound impost, until the stretch, and in the run home came away from Bromo gradually, He won by what appeared a narrow margin, but Knapp had a lot left ax Old Kose- bud went by the judges, Checks beat Blue Thistle in fiftn race, according to everybody near the finish line, Even Jimmy Butwell, who rode Blue Thistle, thought so, because he had to be drawn into the ner's circle on the return to the scales, Jockey Merg ler, who rode Checks, couldn't under- stand why he was not entitled to the place in the sacred clrele, The old angle probably fooled the crowd. The judges have no reason to call @ second horse first or vice versa, Trainer Ud Heffner says that the in- fury to The Finn ts not as serious as ‘t first supposed, The good hor: howed litte cise yesterday morning, and t rinary said that he had @ufter a slight rupture of the left ankle nd that his tendons wor sound as Heffner now has hopes that ‘The lameness in his walking | | noon, the post pon |part ‘of a double Cousin Dan, Star Gaze, Fourth Race—Regret, Swan Song, Bayberry Candle ifth Race — Nashville, Lottery, Bond.

Long years of tournament play has made him one of the most vulnerable golfers in the works, In a recent match Holme took a wholesale swing on the first tee and smashed the ball for a distance of six inches in one continuous flight. He claims that this is the first time that anybody ever started a match with a putt. ONE CHAMPION BEATEN INN. Y. A. C, TOURNEY. Knockouts were the rule rather than) the exception in the amateur boxing tourney at the New York A. C. last night. One champion felt the sting of defeat.
