SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 23. OCKEY CLARENCE ROBINSON came to Saratoga from Kentucky with @ great reputation. As the leading jockey in the West he prom- ised to shine here like @ constellation. He started off like @ Walter Miller, but @ couple of days found him back among the apprentices. If hard luck stood in his way the poor showings of horses which Robinson rode since might be attributed to @ bad position at.the post, a bad break-or riding in- structions, But in the case we have in mind none of these was a factor, Robinson rode War Rocket in the opening race here yesterday, and if one was to believe those around him in the grand stand during the rup-| ning of the race, the boy “took the) colt.” War Rocket had everything to @ winning performance. He was an ov... money shot, he had speed and he was “ready.” To the wise part of the talent it was a case of put- ing on the entire programme looked | more certain. As the race was run War Rocket might just as well bave been a 20 to 1 shot. He ran under restraint from the start, around the turn and into the stretch without Robinson making 4 single effort to improve his position. Of course it’ one thing to look al horse rurfhing and make deductions, but it is quite er matter to be on the back of teed doing tho driving. Possibly Robinson tried everything he had to th Public favorites belo: but many a veteran racegoor hing the race will tell you that the boy never tried ® yard with the horse at any stage of the contest. Some don't make any bones about saying Robinson pulled the horse, but others more calm an collected will say that Robinson had nothing under him and found it out early. Robinson rode almost kind of a race on Gamie Chick Wednésday. He was off none too well in this instance, but he never showed an inclination to hustle his mount into a contending position. Like War Rocket, G: Ci wublic — favori Dishonest ri we no place on the turf, and while we don't want to give our readers the impression that Robinson ts di honest, he needs a talking to at least. He had lost a couple of races here on good horses, Some attribute this to timidity at the post, Others take @ less kindly view of his jockeyship. the same A reai human interest story might be told in connection with the last race here yesterday.

There was plenty of price around this Mile, Vivian, 40 to 1 being obtainable at almost any stage during the oral betting period. No one would touch her with even a fork. To the average racegoer Begm- ing Beauty looked next door to a sure thing. E. R. Bradley, her owne: had wonderful confidence in h ability to tow-rope the field, and with Johnny Loftus on her back she looked all that was claimed for her. She was full of life and action in the paddook and on her way to the post showed that there was nothing lack- ing in her condition by tossing the peerless Loftus out of the saddle. Johnny did a circus stunt in getting ner back under contro! that elicited applause from the grand stand. Over at the post Loftus had an outside Position with the Ailly, and although @ tried to anticipate the start a few times, he wasn't really ready when the webbing was sprung up. Every- thing was away in front of him. Johnny hunched Beaming Beauty for all he was worth, but he covered al- most a sixteenth of a mile before he was able to assume the pacemaking job. This took a lot out of his mount, and while he turned the stretch with a two-length lead and began looking behind, !t became ap- rent to the practised eye that his Rorse was dying under him. Before the sixteenth pole was reached, near- ly everything in the race was crowd- ing around Beaming Beauty and she was stopping fast, From that stage home it was anybody's race, Swirl shot out from the bunch*iike a win- ner, but being several feet away from the inner rail, had no occupancy to see Mile, Vivian closing like a streak, In a ding-dong finish the Madamoiselie proved best and won, thus providing the best “eagle bir that the layers have seen during the meeting.

Sullivan. HEAT favorite maxim, “A good big man can always whip « good little man,” seems to hold in every case except that of Jack Britton—marvel of the ring. Jack had an eight-round setto with Mike O'Dowd, middleweight champion, be- fore @ crowded house at the First Regiment Armory pf Newark last night, and it was the welterweight, Britton—e fighter in a class beneath ~-that won the honors in six of the eight rounds, t was just the sort of battle that one would have eapected from two lads that showed the spirit and courage th: two lads have shown ura. the past two years. Mike was shoul py d a oe fighting the Ger- mans in the big scrap that war, while Britton to because he is married and has two children, but he fought nearly evel ight in the week, somefimer three Yimes @ night, for the entertain- ment of the soldiers and sailors. Before the boys sailed across the wa they were treated to fistic bouts arranged by Dan Morgan, President of the Boxers’ Loyalty League. en, they came back, thousands of them wounded, Britton visited all the hos- pitals and fought as hard every time a8 when he won the welterweight Utle, 69 as to cheer up Uncle Sam's heroes, That is the type of lads that met last night, And how they battled! Bach was knockout bent, but both in their determination were stymied by the £,. of the other. O'Dowd was the more aggressive. He Le ad trying every second. He is a of pocket edition of Jack Dempsey in action, what with his pompadour hair, his fighting face and his man: of standing, one foot no further advanced than the other. He kept tearing in constantly, itton's cleverness almost borders @ uncanny, What fighting in- He oan fee] @ punch or duck it with- rently looking. Britton's ring f Iship, his great experience and peedy left jab are what won for him, O'Dowd landed many stiff wallops, especially in the third and seventh, when he carried off the honors, but every now and then Jack scored heavily with lefts to the body and right crosses, Britton often stood toe to toe with his heavier opponent, but seldom got the worse of the ex- change. The weights were nearly ten pounds. in the Gt. Paul boy's favor, as he was 156 pounds to Jack's 146 pounds. Britton sure ig the marvel of the ring. Think of it! Seventeen years in the ring and now going as strong, than ever. No mean ounds to a above and unching, ag- .

Along those at the ringside was Capt. Freddie Welsh, who has just been promoted wo that he can wear the double bars. ‘Tex Rickard, promoter of the Will- ard-Dempsey bout, was present and was introduced. Another famous promoter on deck was Jim Coffroth of San Franc’ Teck.

Promoters Mackay and Black cer- tainly had things handled in an ef ficient. manner, as everybody ap- parently got tho seat his coupon called for, Jimmy Murray; a little east side bantam, who has gone diind, was troduced, and of course the crowd, which was “the typical generous heartgl fight crowd, contributed enough money to keep him from want for some time. sational play. His Rawleas, machine- like accuracy, held unswervingly to the end. From his side of the net Davis, who yesterday defeated. Norman fF. Brookes, the great Autralian, made u dismal failure of his powerful service. his attempts at net play and his vol- laying, while from deep court he was inaccurate and unsteady. Garland, on the other hand, starred in all parts of the court. He made @ determined attack upon the lowe) back hand of the Californian, thereby causing the latter to send the ball into the net in critical gamob of the match As Davis moved up to the net, Gar land employed fast drives down the side, with @n occasional crosscourt or overhander that scored point. At no stage of the match did Davis have a lead. Garland did not lose one of his service games and he broke through the service of his rival on four occasion ‘Twe Titles Are at Stake, Two of the diggest league matches ever decided at Celtio Park will take place there Sunday, Aug, 31, under the ausptees of the Kerry football team.

EVENING WORLD'S OWN SPORT HISTORY What Happens Every Day BASEBALL. The Yankees wound up their so- Journ at St. Louis with a victory over the Browns, but hostilities were acrimonious and the umpires sub- jected Carl Mays to an exhaustive search for foreign substances which he was accused of applying to the ball, The efforts of the home team to upset the pofte of the New York twirler were unsuccessful, He pitched steadily, keeping eight hits well scat- tered and contributed a two base drive which paved the way for a vic- tory. The score was 5 to 2, Cleveland defeated Boston in a long drawn-out game by a score of 10 to 7. The contest was marked by lack of control and ineffectiveness by all the pitchers, Ruth was put out of the game for arguing a strike called by Owens, the umpire, He threatened to hit Owens, but was stopped by players of both teams. The Cubs hit Smith and Murray for seventeen singles, winning by a score of 10 to 2, Cincinnati made it three straight for the series, winning by @ score of 7 to 4 In the seventh Gowdy and Rudolph made home runs on the first two pitches by Biller, Later in that inning Ring replaced Eller and held Boston hitless, Big Bill James, recently obtained from the Boston Red Sox, engaged Shaw in a pitching duel, and the White Sox made a clean sweep of the series with Washington, shutting out the visitors by-a score of 8 to 0. , MISCELLANEOUS.
