Racing Idol Is Shattered When Hourless Comes Home Last in Brooklyn Derby Omar Khayyam Proves Claim to 3-Year-Old Honors by Winning Impressively. By Vincent Treanor. he reputation of August Bel-| mont's Hourless as a cham- pion three-year-old h been more or less punctured, Yesterday a@t Aqueduct in the Brooklyn Derby he finished “absolutely” last in a field of four. Omar Khayyam won the race Rickety was second ana Ticket third, all in front of the Belmont star, Of course alibis are in order for Hour- less, particularly that of Jimmy Butwell, who rode the colt, but allbis | are never needed for a GOOD horse. Colin for one never needed any, and he raced under any and all kinds of conditions, in fast golng and in mud, from bad breaks and good ones, from clear sailings and pockets, but the finish always saw him nodding past the judges in front, Hourless started yesterday as a 8 to 5 shot. ‘The race he ran showed him to be one of the worst 8 to 6 shots that ever went to post. Whether or not the track beat him is not for us to say or whether or not Butwell rode him with bad judgment is out- side our province, too, but we do know that he had’ little or no speed at any stage of the journey, When Butwell tried to rush him up with Rickety it seemed like trying to get blood out of a stone, Rickety had at anything he tried, at least erday After the race Butwell explained | that the colt sprawled badly in the going and that he couldn't get an ounce of speed out of him, He surely couldn't in the early part of the race because of his over anxtety. Hourless got no chance to settle in his stride, tut was rushed after Rickety as tf Butwell thought It @ personal affront to have the track taken away from him, From the grandstand it seemed that Butwell had taken all the heart out of Hour- y king him the impossible, At rate, he couldn't outstep Rickety and long before the stretch turn was reached Hourless "chucked it." Good horses don't do that, Rickety then came on into the stretch tn front and seemed bent on victory, but Bux- ton for some reason or other did too much swerving in the saddle tn looking back at the others meanwhile ollins was riding very patiently on Omar Khayyam, taking everybody's mud without making a real effort to let his mount down, Into the stretch they came, with Rickety well in front and Omar yyam just beginning jto make his an. Well within the |last elghth Rickety started to bear out, and Collins, on the outside of him with Omar Khayyam, had to take the same course rather than pull Up and come to the inside. Once Omar Khayyam ranged alongside of ty the race was practically over. hot past the Whitney colt with a burst of speed and passed the a length to the good and Rutwell's alfbt and Buxton’s riding mistakes figured to a very small ex- tent in Omar Khayyam‘s triumph. He took the worst of it and won like any real good horse should, There is no use withholding judgment on Hourless until he meets Omar Khay- yam on a fast track. Over a distanc he probably never will beat the $26,000 | Kentucky Derby winner in any kind of going. fest man at the track after ry was Charley Patter- fon, who bought the colt at a yearling sale in England for $1,600, Charley alked and talked about the great nated that running him of ground against any ‘as like matching an inst a horse and buggy. the dest of judges of 8 insisted that Omar Khay- ne of the best colts he ever euw, and Charley has seen hundreds, QUIETLY TOBEFNALIS Bobolink Club Player Beats Robert Markwell of Yale in | Ses to be one of ti RACING SELECTIONS.

CHICAGO, July 12.—There prom- most interesting golf battles on record between* Ned Sawyer of the Bobolink Club of Chi- 0 and Francis Ouimet, the famous Boston player, for the Western cham- Plonship over the Midlothian Club course, Experts believe that this is the pair that will fight it out for the final honors. Sawyer is playing @ sensational game, as he proved in his matoh against Robert Markwell of Yale which went forty-two rounds, be- leved to be a world’s record for @ championship tourney. Sawyer fought one of the greatest ‘uphill games on record, as at the twenty-seventh hole of a thirty- six-hole match he was five down. He then steadied himself and played practically par golf. After squaring accounts he finally won out on t sixth extra hole, his opponent get~ ting into @ dangerous trap, Some other famous extra-holc championship matches were recordea when Walter J. Travis beat H. H,. Wilder in a championship tourna- ment at Garden City six or eight years ago on the forty-first green after being 4 down with only four holes to go. In the New Jersey State championship last year, Os- wald Kirkby defeated Max Marston on the fortieth green after @ brilliant match. The other seven matches In the seo- ond round were not close and all the favorites came through, including Francis Oulmet, John Anderson, Jesse P. Guilford, who represent the East on invitation; Jack May, the Argen- tine champion, Kenneth Edwards, who eliminated Reuben Bush of New Or- leans, a former Southern champion, and Donald Edwards, who led the fleld In the qualifying round, and who put out J. S. Worthington, who, with May, lent some international flavur as a representative of England. Francis Oulmet beat J. T. Henry of Chicago by 4 up and 2 to’ play decidedly rainy finish, The f amateur and open c! first ning holes in 3 par, but Henry stuck to him so clo: that the match was all square at roint. Oulmet picked up three hol owever, on the next nine and hel | this advantage the rest of the way. John Anderson found Robert Bow- Oo a worthy foe for Square, but on the second round he played almost perfect golf and beat his opponent by 8 up and 7 to play. Guilford made a runaway match against French to win by a wide tine champion, had little trouble §- beating EA. Bankard of Chicags bp 6 up and 6 to play.
