a oe has Stewards at Belmont Show Lack of Consistency in Dis- qualitying Stake Winner, Fairy Wand. . Ooprright. 1918, by The Prone Publidhving Co, (The New York Brening World ) LIHOUGH everybody else may Gisagree with us, we want to £0 on record as saying the| Stewards at Belmont Park are incon- sistent, They disqualified Fairy Wand yesterday when there was no real n 1 for it, They evidently sttecumbed to public opinion. After the running of the fourth race, the Autumn Handicap, the crowd moved down toward the Stewards’ stand menacingly, and the Stewards were moved to action which split the purse among three horses which had beam soundly beaten, Fairy Wand had won the race after whe, apparently, had carried the fa- vortte, Flags, out, and the high and lofty Stewards, without a thought of the improvement of the breed of horses, took the race away from the winner and gave it to Hollister, a horse no more entitled to the win- ners share of the purse than you or some disinterested friend. This gelding of the Brighton Btadle | was in front at the time when he} bolted to the outer rail. He was| clear of his field, and Fairy Wand, right with him, went to the outside | too, Did the Stewards consideration? Did they remember that Lyke, who rode Flags, had al- lowed Purchase to do the same thing ‘on Wednesday? No, absolutely No, Purehase hadn't interfered with any body, and Lyke got away with the ineompetent bit of riding. But Fairy Wand? That was different. Fairy Wend was ridden by W. Midgely jr., & young son of one of the best riders that ever wore the silks in the old days. He got his mount away well enough and, in the usual subsequent bumping, weathered the storm and came home alone. True enough, Flags on the outside of Fairy Wand bore out, but who is there to prove that take that Into he didn't want to, or that after he did Fairy Wand simply mt with him? Orr There was a steeplechase a few weeks ago where two horses followed the leader out of the course and the race was put down an odd co- incidence, and no one objected. Yesterday however, — evoryboudy seemed to be up in arms about Fairy Wand's performance. Some blamed it | on Kid Midgeley. Even Jack McGin- nig, & man who should know better, eaid the youngster should have been set down for incompetence. Maybe 80, but #0 ought Lyke by the same line of argument, for his inability to! comtrol Purchase in his race of| Wednesday, when, just like fatry | Wand, he swerved from the inside to! the outside, winning as he pleassd, | In a big race last year Rosie jO'Grady swerved all over the rave track at Belmont and won, but in- stead of being disqualified she was toasted all around the course as be- ing & most extraordinary filly. It evi. dently depends on who owns or trains @ horse nowadays, when there is a chance for disqualification. We didn't have a nickel bet either way on Fatry Wand. HIS has been a great year for ewimmers, particularly the members of the fair sex. ‘The visit of Duke Kohanamoku and other Hawaiian “fish” stimulated interest in the sport. Fr Msny records have been broken. Women have made great strides in the natatorial art during the past few years. Miss Charlotte Boyle of the Wamen's Swimming Association, the national 100-yard champion, set a new American record for 300 yards in the 50-yard Betsy Head munici- » Pal pool in Brooklyn Competing in a scrateh race at the 4m. 335, &nd easily defeated her teammates, Miss Edna Cole and Miss Verona Caine, who secured the places | in this order Miss Boyle's time does not equal on actual figures the listed stand, of 4m, 282-55, held by Miss Olga ) Dortner of Philadelphia, but the lat- ter was made with the advantage of fourteen turna, while Miss Boy! * only took five, As it is well estab- lighed that moving at this pace a swimmer gains about one second at rn, it will be seen that Miss performance is actually the by approximately 4 seconds, HD fina! heat for the Interna- tional Gold ‘Challenge Cup Trophy will be run to-day at Detroit.
