Sunny Slope Is Latest Overnight Wonder Placed Among $20,000 Beauties Suddenly Acquires Great Reputation by Winning Three Races in a Row. OW it's Sunny Slope. This three-year-old son of Astrono- mer and Neva W. ts being pro- claimed as one of the stars, if not THE star of the year, Why? Just because he has won three races in a row. All a horse has to do now. jays is to win a couple of good races and lo, he's a wonder, It doesn't make any difference what his previous form may have been, as is the case with Sunny Slope, Hasn't he won the Jerome handicap, the Belmont Purk Autumn handicap and the Sagamore at Saratoga? Before that, he was | third to Tombolo and Flags at Sara- toga, his first appearance in the long interim between then and May 15, when he finished second to War Cloud in the first division of the Preskness at Pimlico, Where has he been all that while? Why, he had quarter cracks, if you know what they are, But he's lost| them evidently and he's being talked of now as a $20,000 horse, Some say he can beat Jack Hare jr. and that his owner, Willle Martin, has turned @n offer of $25,000 for him. He was added to yesterday's Jerome handi- cap and won it practically all the way after the first sixteenth well) within himself. Johnny Loftus on Motor Cop thought he was riding a good thing, when in the early part he purposely took off Sunny Slope to, as he thought, Jet him inake the pace and run over him in the stretch, Johnny swung a bit wide at the turn, but when straightened out for the stretch duel he had to go to the whip to get Motor Cop within otriking distance of Sunny Slope. It did no good, however, for Sunny Slope wasn't allowing Motor Cop, or anything that looked like him to get near him, Callahan only had to hold Sunny Slope together to let him saunter along safely in front, no matter how much Loftus whipped and drove Motor Cop. The race was run in 1,38 2-5, At Saratoga the time might have been 1,36, Now it 1s up to Sun Briar, or Johren, to either make Sunny Slope famous by losing to him or exploding his suddenly acquired reputation by running away from him, Sunny Slope {8 certainly a fine looking rac- ing proposition as he stands to-day, but how long he will remain so is problematical, He cost only $250 as a yearling, Not so long ago, a good horse was one which won his first race and then went on consistently, being beaten rarely thereafter. They don't have to be consistent these days to get a reputation, They can win in spots nowadays and be alibied for subsequent defeats, for the the mera- ory of race goers 1s short, Take Sun Briar for instance and Camp Fire too, and War Cloud, and Johren, Omar Khayyam, and Jack Hare jr,’ While they were winning, they were great horses; when they began to lose, ex- cuses were found for thei, If ‘they returned to wood form as Sun Briar and Johren did, higher was the praise for them, When one looks back at Colin, the present crop of thorough- breds doesn't seem to have improved as it should have done. Colin started @ winner and finished a winner, No excuses were ever needed for him, He came from anywhere and every- where in a race but he was always in front at the judge's stand, John Sanford is to sell out all his thoroughbreds in training, as well as his yearlings, at his Hurricania stud at Amsterdam, N, Y.

Woodthrush, winner of the fifth race at Belmont Park, yesterday, was the surprise of the year. His trainer, Tom Healey, thought so little of the colt's chances that he turned Jockey Preece over to his little son Jack for his riding instructions. “Steal a march on the other fellows at the post,” said Jack, “and then don't let them catch you.” Little Preece fol- lowed instructions to the letter and Woodthrush came home on the bit.

The southpaw meteor was reared on the speed game years ago on the fast California courts while playing with Maurice McLoughlin, Billy Johnstone and strong arm wallopers, The scores, 6—3, 6—1, 1—5, show that Tilden never was seriously in the running—except after Murray's snappy returns, The young Califor- nian, serving first, got the Jump and retained this advantage to the finish. Tilden was continuously on the de fensive but for two games toward the end of the third set, when the new 4s @ patriotic tournament, the cham- plonship title being held in abeyance due to the war, dt was won by X. Lindley Murray, dling these riflelike shots, first step- Ping in close and then falling behind the base lin but he never hit on the right system. Most of his re- turns were generally puny efforts, and Murray was waiting at the net to smash them for sure points, Mur- ray won 18 out of 14 service games, convincing proof how helpless was the receiver, On the other hand, the Californian was seldom bothered by Tilden’s serving. The harder the balls came over the net the better Murray seemed to enjoy it, The other contributing factor to Tilden’s downfall was the cham- pion's aggressive net game Murray, starting with a rush, hastened to the net and Tilden never gould drive him back, Murra. fine blocking game was something the Philadelphian hadn't bargained for. Frequently Murray made “gets” of shots Tilden never thought would come back at him, It was very discouraging, Mur- ray, though, was not just satisfied to make his opponent lose through errors.

ANAGER MITCHELL OF CUBS 10 START PICK AT SECOND Chicago Fans Anxious About Condition of Catcher Killifer, But He'll Work in To-Morrow’s Opening of World’s Series Against Red Sox, Despite Bad Finger—Series Looks Like a Flivver. By Hugh S. Fullerton. CHICAGO, Sept. 4. AICAGO was all set for the open- ing of the first straw hat cham- pionship of the world when rain caused a post- ponement, The Cubs have had their final prac- tice and have shown such good form that Man- ager Mitcheil last night an- nounced that he would stand pat on his line-up, which means that he would start Pick at second and rely upon his hitting to overbalance the skill and experience of Zeidier, who is not In top condition, There is a lot of anxiety in the Chicago camp concerning the condl- tion of Killifer, who has a badly wounded finger, but who is certain to ectch regardless of his condition. The Boston Club reached Chicago yesterday afternoon, full of confidence. Their advance guard, consisting of Mays, Bush and Agnew, dropped in ijn- cidentally to watch the Cubs, who took a vigorous workout at the White Sox park in order to keep up their condition and familiarize them- selves with the grounds, to which the majority of them are strange. After the practice Manager Mitchell decla: 1 himself satisfied with the condition and the spirit of his men and an- nounced that he was satisfied the Cubs would give a good account of \R. Lindley Murray Captures Tennis Title, Outplaying and Outgaming Young Tilden Fans Surprised by the One- Sidedness of the Murray- Tilden Match, ' packages for the Californian, who made spectacular “kills” of them, much to the amusement of the big gallery: Tilden, facing inevitable defeat, made a courageous rally in the third set, when, on the ninth game, he broke through Murray's service for the first time and anné&ed a@ love game, He followed this up by win- ning a love game on his own service. Many in the stands scented a turning point in the battle, because Murray is considered a weak five-set player. But this flash of Tilden's was short themselves in the series, “Manager Michell camouflaged a bit, Pretending chat he was not certain whether he would open the series with Vaughn or with Tyler, although it is ® parctical cinch that Vaughn will start the show. The Boston players have the idea that Ruth ought to do the starting, but from inside it is a cinch that the job will be assigned to a right-hander and that it will be either Bush or Mays and probably Bush against Vaughn in the opener. The fact that the players favor Ruth makes it a bit more certain Ruth will not pitch the opener. On pure dope it looks as if Barrow is certain to start Bush in the first game because his recent showing has been so good, and second because of his experience in previous series, and with the added fact that the Cubs are not supposed to hit fast and curve pitching. The series looks to me like a quali- fied flivver, There will be a mod- erate crowd present at the opening game, while about ten times as many persons will flock to see the war Pageant which is going on ih Grant Park, where flocks of aeroplanes, scores of cannon and machine guns and thousands of jackies and infantry are engaged in a gigantic sham battle. There {!s but small interest in the series here, in spite of the press agenting. The sale of tickets has been rather slow, and while the re- served seats have sold well, there is no great demand, and one can buy tickets, either singles or sets, with- out trouble to-night. The Boston club brought in one bit of news, which may either shock or amuse the fans. The Red Sox play- ers held up the club owners for their salaries up to Sept. 15 before they would consent to engage in a world’s series. When the news reacred the Cub camp some of the players wanted to make a stand for the same thing. We are commencing to sympathize with the magnates, There is a chance that there may be a switch at third base for the Red Sox during the se- ries, Third base has been tho vitally weak spot in the Boston team, and to-day Fred Thomas, who used to play the bag fairly well, notified the Red Sox that he might be able to get a furlough from Great Lakes Naval Station and play in the series, Such a move would, of course, re- quire the attention of the National Commission. The National Commis- sion, by the way, is In Chicago and receiving about as much attention a: a youth tn citizen clothes does at military ball, —____.

HAVRE DE GRACE, Maryland Sept. 4—The newly organized Beach Stable, of which Messrs, Carman, Elisworth and Pendleton, all mem- bers of the exclusive Union Club of New York, are the proprietors, bas arrived from Saratoga with Richard F. Caman in charge, and with the Beach Stable have come fifteen to twenty horses of various ages and sorts that have been winning stakes and purses all summer under the Carman silks, . The horses of the Beach Stable that will be seen under colors in the course of the Havre de Grace meet- ing, which begins on Sept, 10 and continues until Oct. 1, are the three- year-olds Wyndover and Pastoral Swain and the miler Starfinch, Mr. Carman purchased these horses at Saratoga. He did not succeed in buying better and more horses for the new partnership because none such were for sale, First-class racers are hard to get this year. However, in Pastoral Swain, Wynd- over and Starfinch, Mr, Carman bas three campaigners that should bear the Beach Stable colors with credit in Maryland. Wyndover, a Kentucky bred son of Free Lance, won in K tucky and Saratoga for his breeder. George J. Long of Louisville. Pas- + tora] Swain, for which Mr. Carman paid $1,700 at the Porter sale at Sara- toga the other day, has been highly tried by Harry Morrissey. He is a very good-looking son of Colin and Elegance, Starfinch has been racing these two seasons under the silks of former Jockey William Travers, who recently forsook racing to enter the. United States Navy. ; The coming two-year-olds of the Beach Stable—there are nine of them —have been shipped to Bennings track to be broken. There will be no stalls at Havre de Grace this fall for horses not of racing age. Upward of 1,000 runners will be here, and many of these will have to seek shelter outside the track inclosure. About 500 are already present and accounted for. ee M’GRAW STILL HOPES TO TAKE TEAMS ACROSS, John J, McGraw, manager of the Giants, sald at Belmont Park yesterday that he had not yet given up hope of taking two baseball teams to France to play exhibition games for the soldiers behind the lines, Everything depends on the po- sition which the Government will take when replying to the re- quest from the Knights of Co- lumbus that thirty professional ballplayers be exempted so that they may go abroad to provide entertainment for our soldiers, If this request is granted, Mc Graw will organize the teams, AUTUMN MEETING AT BEAUTIFUL BELMONT PARK TOMORROW'S FEATURES Highweight Handicap A 2-Mile Steeplechase and 4 Other Classy Contests FIRST RACE AT 2.80 ¥, M.

He thought it un- sportsmanlike to enter the tourna- ment and compete for national hon- ors while Williams, Johnstone and Church were absent in service, Only the pleading of friends induced the new champion to come down from his chemistry work at Niagara Falls to play.
