, OTHER SPORT NEWS ’ With Inchcape Out of It, Leonardo II. Looks Best of Juvenile Stakes Candidates Son of sya ana | and Ethel Page Wins at Spa in Close to Record Figures. By Vincent Treanor. SARATOGA, Aug. 7. ITH Samuel Hildrevh’s $150,000 Inchcape on the shelf, tempo- rarily at least, from the ef- feets of skin disease, Jim MoClelland’s Leoniamto If. ts going to cut consider. able figure in the rich Juvenile Stakes, to be decided here this month, This son of Sweep and Ethel Page lived vp to his reputation of being a speed- ster extruordinary in the last race here yesterday. He won from a high class fleld in a big gaHop in the fast time of 58%-5 seconds for five fur- jongs. The track mark is 67 4-5, made by H. P, Whitney's Pigeon Wing last y onardo II. didn't have all the luck of the race either instead he broke about fifth and had to be rushed up on the outside to gét into a contend- ing position behind Hildur, The lat- ter was away in front and opened up 4% sup in the run to the stretch. It didn't seem as if anything would get near him, He swung into the stretch close to the ruil three lengtha in nt, and those who had accepted an on price against the much touted MeCleliand colt began to curse their luck. Shuttinger swung Leonardo to the vutside of Hildur and when straight- ied out acks of the whip, Leonardo II, med to be bound to the front when felt the sting of the catgut, and na jiffy he was in front. From there home it was play for the McClelland two-yeur-old to lengthen the gap be- tween him and those behind, At the end he wus six lengths in front and Janghing horse fashion. When Inchcape was sold to Hildreth for $150,000 he was conceded to be about the best two-year-old of the season, but now Leonardo LL. looms up as the most claimant for logic roused him with several | ta honors, and developed Incheupe into a $150,000 \beauty,’ admits that Leonardo Il. |would make Inchcape run, to say the least. lew, Of course there is the chance that Jimmy Rowe has one fast enough to cope with Leonardo, Maybe the unbeaten Tryster can take Ms meas- ure, Prudery, too, a filly regarded by many as the best yet shown, may prove the one to turn the trick. It will be remembered that Rowe ex- pressed confidence of beating Inch- cape up here. That was when the Hildreth colt looked the prospective champion. At any rate, Leonardo II. stands out to-day as one of the best, if not the best juvenile seen this sea- son and many good judges will have to be shown before they will believe that anything can beat Leonardo Il. Playfellow, Man o' War's brother, made his second appeatance in the race won by Leonardo IT, and showed nothing. He is a big, fine-looking jcolt, which doesn't seem to appre- |clate what being a racehorse means. | “There he is.” snid his trainer, Jimmy Fitzsimmons, as the colt took his place in line for the parade to the post. “There's the fellow who made Man o' War ashamed of himself by his showing in his first start. All he does is eat his onts, then his hay and finally his bedding, Tm on to him now: I've put a muzzle on him to prevent his eating himself out of his home." Fitz hasn't lost hope for the colt. Not by a long shot, “He'll learn his racing business one of these |duys, and then you'll have to admit he is the colt I think him.” \ahe had upset the calculations of the Garth following by winning the fifth lrace from the confidently played! | Smart Guy, was taken by J. H. Dena- Her, but his being claimed added $5,400 }to the Quincy stable's accounts, The play on Smart Guy and the re- ceding of the price against the onen- ing favorite, Ralleo, from 2 to 1 to 8 to 1, all within five minutes, made Smart Guy look almost a sure thing ot post time, "t's a oat race for Smart Guy." said some of the wres, Tt may hi = Major League Averages. ‘The following reeorde Include xemed played Aug. 4 AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING.

Clarence J. Griffin and William M. Johnston, the former title holders, in the opinion of many judges are about at the top of the doubles game in the United States and accordingly they will try their luck together at Newport and in the nations) it. However, the Davis Cup Committee jrequested authority from the Executive Committee of the United States Lawn | ‘Tennis Association to recommend to the National Doubles Championship Com- mittee that Griffin and Davis be allowed to separate for that tournament so as to give the Davis Cup Committee a chance to see how the Johnston-Grifin ombination would work out. Richard N, Williams is playing with ty Iiden- Richard te and the Garland and Johnston-GriMn teams, also in the hunt for the national title. The tournament promises to be an unusually Tose contest.
