While in Chicago he en- gaged Ed. “Strangler” Lewis to act as one of his training staff.

In the scene Jess is attacked by @ band of Villa's men in Mexico and routs them with his fists, Jess scowled, “No you can't,” he sald. “I want to save Hemple to box with.

BALTIMORE, Md., May 15. TR BARTON is the king of three- year-olds. Me won his crown by @ hollow victory in the Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico track. With 126 pounds and Johnny Loftus in the saddle, he ran like a hare with eleven colts and a @ily at his heels, acting as hounds, This rear division spurred him on to daz- zling speed during the journey of a mile and a furlong. He hung up three intermediate track records, but | at the finish, because he was pulled up in the final furiong, his full time for the distance was only 153. His fractional time was as follows: 23 2-5, 471-5 (new mark), 1,00 (new mark), 1.13, 1.253-5 (new mark), 1.39 1-6, 1.53. The mile in 1.39 1-6 was only one-fifth behind the track mark. Every man who is at all familiar with racing knows that the Pimlico track is not what turfmen call fast. it is about three seconds behind the Saratogu course from a@ time stand- point, It was in splendid shape, dry and safe, but it lacked the resiliency of record-breaking courses, Sir Barton's great speed was there- fore ail the .iuore impressive. He fairly ran his oppos®&vn to a point of exhaustion, When ide were ready to collapse he was just gaining strength and endurance, If Loftus|a bad not pulled him up he would have undoubtedly established a new track record for the distance. Sir Barton is @ real champion, Make no mistake about this. Any colt that can win-a Kentucky Derby and a Preakness stake, all in five days, Sunday included, and annex $48,000 in money, is some horse, with the accent on some. ‘In theso two races he hung up & record that no other three-year-old has ever ap- proached. He has also more than repaid his owner, Commander J, K. L. Ross of Canada, the purchase price of $80,000 which he paid out last fall for Sir Barton and Milkmaid. It will be seen by bis winnings this spring that he has repaid this money with @ goodly interest, ‘The Preakness Stake was worth $30,500—the most valuable three- year-old event of the season, Sir Barton's share was $24,500, Bternal, which finished second, received $3,000, Sweep On, the tifird horse, $2,000, and King Plaudit, the fourth horse, $1,000. No othgr stake oven in the East reach the Preakness *in value by $10,000, So if bad times should knock at Sir Barton's stable door, leg trouble lav him up for repairs, he will go into winter quarters as the leading win- ning three-year-old of 1919, When Sir Barton won the Kentucky Derby in runaway style, such as he|f did the Preakness, turfmen were skeptical whether be was a first clase colt or merely a lucky one.

WVindex was left at the it it was entirely ty own fault, because he refused budge and would not break even . whee Knapp hit him with the whip. Dunboyne moved away sluggishly and showed no disposition to show any spe. Bot nv matter what these horses might have done—what they really would have done is merely a matter of conjecture—there is no denying the fact that Sir Barton ran like « true, high class race horse at every stage of the route. When a horse makes his own pace, kills off a horse Uke Eternal in the early stages and then romps home, his class can easily be distinguished without the aid ot @ magnifying glass. His quality stands out. Commander Ross saw Sir Barton race. He was deprived of this privil- ege in the Derby because of the illness of his father-in-law. In the early betting Dunboyne, Sweep On and Eternal were the choices of the race- goers. But Commander Ross more than balanced this with a wager that was close to $80,000. He had sent a commission to out ef town layers, but these men had offered such ridic- ulous odds that his agents quickly in- formed him of the fact. He then dumped a large’ amount into the mutual machines, even money for his wager. Eternal was sore going to the post. Considering his physical trouble he ran a good race. Sweep On also ran good, game race, but was outclassed. Sdn Pthudit was a contender for the second prize for a long time. Dun- Dboyne was swallowed up in the dust. His trainer, W.
