Prait got away with o short safety which advanced Pipp to second. Thereupon Ping Bodie smote the pill to right for &@ twisting one-sacker., Everybody be- gan to run, and Shorten, hoping to ut in @ plug at third, threw the ball it general direction, It got by the baseman and i’ipp scored, while Pratt went to third.

This son of Jim Gaffney and Maltha| at the close of the 1918 seaso, looked the best of the three-year-old pros- pects, but went wrong and was put on the shelf, didn't think he was quite up to the hotch of peating such as Dominant turday, but he did it jut the same | with his unmistakable class and his old-time closing rush. Now judges are beginning to believe that War Pennant may win rank among’ the Purchases, the Sif Bartons, tb: Hternals and the Dunboynes before the season comes to an end. As & two-year-old War Pennant was re- garded as a “late horse,” one which doesn't show his best until fall. He may be the same kind of a three-year- old. Anyhow, his races from now on will be watched with interest. Returning to the two-year-old situ- ation, the consensus of opinion among trainers, mep qualified to know, is that Samuel D. Riddle, the Philadel- phia sportsman, has the juvenile champion imMan-o'-War, already win- ner of six straight races, including the most recent $10,000 United States Hotel Stakes. This colt, a son of Fair Play, developed by the clever young trainer Louis Feustcl, whose proud boast is that the colt has not been touched by whip or apur in any of his contests, every one of which he has won by at least three lengths and pulled up. Although Man-o'-War has won all his starts, as a champion should, from end to end, there are still a few among turf followers who think he will meet his match before the Spa's season comes to @ close. They point to the fact that there are many youngsters of high promise yet to be seen in public and still others which ave shown exceptionally, well in races against which the Riddle colt has nev measured strides, There ‘re the stars of the West, and possi- bly onother Billy Kelly among them, for Man-o'-War to meet and beat. There is talk here, particularly by Westerners, that High Command and possibly another colt product of tne Western tracks will have somethin, to say about the two-year-old cham- ship before the fall seasons roll around, Miss Jemima, the queen of the fillies, Is not out of the question either, according to Western crit She has won all her starts but o1 and that one race she lost by acci dent, She is a nimble-footed mias, a quick breaker and races with a show of gameness that in a filly is admi- rable. All these expressions of the West- erners, however, may be charged up to prejudice, for Western champions among juveniles ‘have been few and between, A Billy Kelly comes once in a decade, If there is’ one under cover here, he will certainly have to be a wonder to take Man-o’-War into camp ‘The tatters win, in the States Hotel Stakes. howev: sive and all, was to bie “buat” at United impres- His trainer, Guy Bedwell, | WONT LET HIM PLay.
