HOW FOR THE BROOKLYN
DANDELION IS FAVORITE.
Rich and Historic Stake Will Be
Run at Gravesend To-day.
The 'Brooklyn Handicap will be run and won at
Gravesend to-day, and with all the conditions
favorable tome twenty-five thousand persons will
be on hand to cheer the winner of a turf classic
which has ever, been one of the n»Mt talked of
and popular races of the season. A well balanced
field will go to the post, the equal. as a whole, of
any that has ever gone to the r*>« for the coveted
■take though lacking, perhaps, in the matter of
thoroughbred stars such as Sysonby and Artful
ere considered. There is some regret in their ab
sence, as racegoers love to Me the kings and queen»
at the turf in stirring battle. They will not be
, misled however, when the field lines up behind
the barrier, as there will be only thought for those
which a: ready to fight the light as only good
thorouglibreds can.
The rp.ee will be the feature of the op«wins day
of the first spring meeting of 1906 of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club at Graves€!id. The change from the
broad stretches and parklike Jnclosures at Belmont
Park to the narrow confines of Gravesend will be
marked, but there will be little thought for this, m
♦be thoroughbred in general and the Brooklyn
Handicap In particular w'll make all else pale into
in«i-nlficance. Further than that. Grav«?send has
always been popular with the rank and file of
racing folk, and there will be no falling oft in the
matter of attendance. The meeting will run one
week, when there will be a return to palatial Bel
jaont' Park for the second half of its spring meet
"Eighteen horses are named as probable starter,
for the Brooklyn Handicap this afternoon. It win
to the twentieth renewal of the historic fixture.
The distance is «- mile and a Quarter, and the
race has a guaranteed value of 120.000. of which
££> go*, to th. second horse and $1,500 to the
t£r<L Seventeen of the eighteen horses have been I
.ten in public this year, end to a certain extent
have established tome form for the handicappers
to work on. but. for all that, the race looks de
cidedly open, and gives promise of incident ex
traordinary and a finish which will thrill the thou
sands whose good fortune It will be to see It.
Roseben is a doubtful starter, and Goldsmith.
Oliver Cromwell and Garnish might as well be
scratched, for any chance they appear to have.
Red Knight. TOkalon. Adbell and Knight Errant
look like forlorn hopes, and will have attraction
only for the "pikers" who will take the long price
offered against their chances in the hope that the
unexpected may- happen. Each one of the others
will have a strong following, however, and each
one must be accounted dangerous. Much will de
pend on the luck of the race in a crowded field of
this kind, and the winner must be fleet of foot and
•tout of heart, as It will be a breathless rush from
F. R. Hitchcock's Dandelion will probably go to
the post favorite. His second in the Metropolitan
Handicap and his subsequent victory In an over
right handicap. in which he disposed of Lord of
the Vale and Go Between, among others, Indicate
that he is at his best and trained to the minute.
He has been doing well since his last start, and no
excuses can be offered for him If he falls. Next to
him In point of favoritism come Merry Lark and
The Picket. Merry Lark won the Excelsior Handi
cap in commanding style, and since then has been
carefully pointed for this race. He was said to
have worked a mile and a quarter a few days ago
In close to 2:06. and on Saturday he was galloped !
the distance In 2:14. vrhlch he accomplished in an '
«aey. ftictlonleßS way. The Picket had a public j
try-out at Belmont Park last week which was not .
particularly convincing. He may have needed a !
race, however, and the conqueror of Irish Lsd and j
Hermis In the Brooklyn Handicap of IX* will have i
a host of followers to-day, and deservedly. He
looks his beet, and bis work for the race has been
most satisfactory.
Oxford, the gray son of Faraday, ran a brilliant
race In the Metropolitan Handicap, and followed
It up by finishing third in the Toboggan. The Im- |
pression is that the distance is a little too far for j
him, but on figures he Is J>ound to be In the thick
■at of the fight and right with Dandelion. Delhi i
has started twice this year. He had speed on his
first :t|>i^aran<-e. but stopped as if shot, and no
chance In his second attempt, as he. was caught
flatfooted at the start and knocked out of Tils
stride, and badly shut off i n the first quarter when
he got to racing. He won the race last year, al
though the field was lacking in class as compared
with the one to-day, and he cannot be dismissed
too lightly. It would be no surprise to see him
lead the way from end to end. His last work for
the race was satisfactory to "Jimmy" Rowe. his
iistute trainer.
Proper will share with Delhi the place at top
■weight, at 122 pounds. He showed spewed at Bel
monl Park last week, but hung In the stretch,
where he usually runs his strongest. That race
:n.iy have been just what Ik- needed to put him on
edge, and at his best his chances would be second
to none. He is a slow beginner, as a rule, and In
a big field this is decidedly .-igainst him Go P.o

SPORTING COMMENT.
Nezcs and Views on Current Topic*,
Amateur and Professional.
An active week Is In store for those Interested In
the various branches of sport, the most active In
fact since the outdoor season began. The racing
scene will change from Belmont Park to Gravetend.
where the Brooklyn Handicap will be decided to
day; the Highlanders *U1 be at home all the week
at American League Park; many Important college
baseball games are scheduled; the championship of
the Metropolitan Golf Association will be decided
at St. Andrews: the yachting season will be fairly
opened with the ocean race to Bermuda: the Inter
collegiate track and Held championships will b*
held at Cambridge, and the Harvard and Cornell
eight -oared crews will meet on the Charles River.
These are the main fixtures, but there are many
others of much local if less general Interest. Th»
most Important happenings last week were th«
winning of the classic Withers by Accountant; the
sailing of the American lawn tennis players for the
international matches for the Dwight L. Davis Cup
In England; the winning of the interscholastlc golf
championship by Frederick Herreshoff. who showed
himielf a clever exponent of the game; the brilliant
lawn tennis of Miss May Sutton at Boston; the
victory of Harvard over Yale in the dual track meet
by a narrow margin ; the success of Dartmouth In
winning the New England intercollegiate meet; the
defeat of the Columbia varsity eight by Annapolis;
the upsets on the college baseball diamonds: the
five straight victories of the Highlanders, and the
downfall of th» champion Giants at Pittaburg;. Al
together there war plenty to think and talk about.
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
Since last Saturday, and not including the games
played yesterday, the Giants won four and loat
three games, while Chicago earned a safe place in
the National League race by taking live and losing
enly two games. The Giants are safe In second
plr.ee, and wfcde the three defeats at the handa of
Pittsburg were lisappolntlng and discouraging they
were not necessarily fatal to the team being soon
at the top again. It Is not surprising that the
champions took a slump, as It is Impossible to keep
up the high tension at all times and play champion
ship ball in every game. Further than that, the
t»am has been handicapped by the suspension of
BlcGann and the Injury of Donlln. The worst part
of it is that the report comes that Donlln has a
broken !rp and may be out of the game for the
balance of the year. Mathewson is still far from
himself, so that, all things considered, results last
week were all that could be expected. The Giants
have a hard week before them, as they began a
series yesterday with Chicago, the league leaders.
and will wind up at St. Louis next Sunday. That
will end the present Western trip, and they will be
in Brooklyn for two games on May 30. Brooklyn la
still in last place, but the team did fairly well last
w *ek winning three games out of seven. The
Highlanders filled their followers with Joy by
not losing a single game last week and climblns
from sixin place to a safe hold on third. The four
straight from St. Louis were particularly creditable.
as that team has been playing a strong game.
Philadelphia still leads the league, and by a safe
margin, with CleVeland second. Philadelphia also
had a clean record last week, winning five games
and losing none. Detroit fell from second to fourth
place, winning one and losing five games. The
Highlanders seem to have settled down to playing
the kind of baseball they are capable of. and hopes
are again high for a pennant winning team. The
Highlanders will play three games with t'hicago
and three with Detroit this week and should climb
even higher In the percentage column.
COLLEGE BASEBALL.
There were enough upsets in the college baseball
world last week to put an end to any claim Yale
may have on the so-called championship and make
Harvard's chances look hopeless. Yale was beaten
by Williams by a score of 2 to 1. and fairly smoth
ered by Holy Cross, the score being 15 to 4. Har
vard went down before the Andover Bchool team,
which had previously beaten Yale, and lost to
Princeton on Saturday in what some see fit to call
the first championship game of the season. Har
vard's showing against Princeton was much better
than had been looked for, but the team Is hardly
up to the standard. Princeton continued her win
ning streak, and unless an unexpected slump
comes should end the season with the best and
cleanest record. Last week the Tigers beat George
town. 3 to 2; Andover. 5 to 0. and Harvard. 8 to 6.
Andover and Williams deserve particular credit for
their work last week. Cornell found little trouble
In defeating Columbia. 4 to 0. and earned a hard
fought victory over Pennsylvania by a score of
1 to 0. So far this year the only college teams
which have beaten Princeton -are Brown and
Georgetown, and the Tigers squared matters with
Brown and have beaten Georgetown twice. As
near as the muddle can be straightened out the
standing up to this time should be Princeton. Cor
nc!!. Andover. Williams. Brown, tJartmouth, ' Yale
Harvard, Amherst. Pennsylvania, Holy Cross and
Columbia.
THOROUGHBRED RACING.
The first spring meeting of the Westohester Rac
ing Association for 1908 at Belmont Park was well
up to the standard and the sport was of the best.
The victory of Accountant in the Withers Stakes
was a brilliant performance and will make a bright
page in turf history. To pick up 126 pounds and
run a mile In 1:28*4 at this time of year was
particularly creditable and will go down as one of
the best races of the season, no matter what there
Is ii 1 } store.
If a resolution that has been presented by a stew
ard of the National Hunt rind Steeplechase Asso
ciation sees into effect, as it likely •will, the appren
tice allowance will be operative in st»eplechas!ng
as well ns flat racing. It is proposed to condition
celling steeplechases so that a rider who has never
won will have an allowance of ten pounds, and
that a five-pound allowar.ee will be given until a
boy has ridden five winners. This will, It is be
neved. encourage owners to put up likely pro
spective crcss-countrv riders, to the end that the
»Up«l» Up «l y u° good riders will be materially increased.
A similar rule obtain* in France, where steeple
chas!nK is seen at Its best, and has been found to

a Place, however. In the regulations of the National
SferplecbaM and Hunt Association

the two high-priced two-year-olds, to-day in th>
Expectation Btakea will be second only in Interest
to the ,r >r , ookly " H ft ndtcaD. The other fixtures to
be decided Ibis week nt Omveser.d are the Preak
ness an 1 Cnrlton. for three-year-olds; the Manhan
»et and Hudson, for two-year-olds, and the
Patchogue Stakes aid Parkway Handicap, for
three- year-olds and over.
CASH FRIZES IN* YACHT RACES.
By adopting the plan, Ion,? in vogue in England,
Of offering cash prizes for winners, the Now Rc
chelle Yacht Club has made a departure that- is
meeting with the approval of many yachtsmen.
The club points to the fact that, while prize cups
are pretty and of some intrinsic value, most of the
men who own fast boats have a surfeit of cups -
co many. in fact, that they are sometimes puzzled
to know where to put them. Again, It is seldom
that the owner of a winning yacht Is able to show
the prize cup that he won in a race until several
months after the race -in other words, not until
the club Is ready to deliver it to him. If he ri
celyes a cash prize when the nice is over, even if
ft is less in amount than the value of a cup In
nnd If he chooses to purchase m cup or a niece of
Plate with It he can .elect something rh%t will not
be a duplicate of a trophy he already ha The
New Rochelle Yacht Club I. to he cbngra^ulated
upon the stand It has taken. Other ?l*bJTwm
doubtless follow its example. ««»■ wui

HARLEM RIVER ROUGH
Many Crews Picked to Compete in
Memorial Day Regatta.
Jfotwithsunding the roughness of the water,
which prev-nted the oarsmen from venturing far
from the club floats, the crews which will compete
In the Memorial Day races crowded the Harlem
River yesterday, and final selections, after many
time trials, were made of the oarsmen who will
take part in the various races. __.
It was the unanimous opinion of all the oarsmen
that the senior double, made up of Vessely and
Budrie. of the First Bohemian Boat Club, which is
being coached by Jack Xagle. of the Harlem Row
ing Club, will have an easy time in defeating a.l
opponents. Both men have been training hard for
this race, and can be seen on the river In the early
mornings and at night. It was said ye^-erday that
several big bet have been made on tha Bohemians
winning the senior double scull race.
Frank Vessely. the stroke in the boat, said yes
terday that the only crew that he feared in the
race was that of the Staten Island Boat club, com
posed of Scrymser and Johnson. He said, however,
that he felt confident of winning the race. Bu^rid
and Vessely have been rowing together :or many
years. „ .
Titus and O'Xeil. of the Xonpariei Rowing Cluo.
although practically a new crew, will in ail proba
bility be tne -dark horses' in the race. Titus said
yesterday that they will give all opponents a hard
light, even it they do not win the race.
James Pilklngton. president of the National Asso
ciation of Amateur Oarsmen said that the entries
for the Memorial Day regatta have nlie-i well, ana
unless something unforeseen happens it will be t>ia
best regatta st < en the Harlem ttiver hi many
years. He added that the oarsmen have come to
realize that rowing is better than spending the t.me
at some seashore place, and tor mat reason there
are- more oarsmen interested this year than hereto
fore. ,
There was a new boat club form on the Harem
River recently, named the St. Lawrence Boat tluo.
with headquarters at the "White House, ana
although the members are mostly young men tney
bid fair to do some good rowing. Tr.ey will not £>•
able to get men together to tram for the Memorial
Day rates, but will be represented in tne otner
local regattas that will follow. ,
The Atalanta Beat Club will have In the Memorial
Day races Randolph ana Dudley In a junior doub.e.
Hughes in a Junior single, and may put in \\ iluarn
Mule-are in the veteran senior single scull race.
It was th*? opinion of the spectators yesteniiy
who watched the Junior eight of the First Bone
ralan Boat Club that it la one of the best seen oo
the river this year. From the way this crew
ploughed through the rough water yesterday it was
apparent that if the conditions be tne same on
Memorial Day it will be a hard crew to defeat.
The crew is made up as follows: Bow. A Beheri
sky: No. 2. J. Ztkmend: No. 3. W. Yjlim; No. 4. v.
Havel: No. 5. K. I .izr.o\>ky Not * J. Vllim: So T.
J. Suchar.ek; stroke. Mltacek.
The Crescent Rowing Club will have a Junior
double. composed of Koop ar.d Little, in the regatta.
The Wyanoke Boat Club will '• represent. by a
Junior double, manned by Hunt and Hartenstem.
At the last minute Cuptain Breen. of tMs club, wtio
wa:. training for the intermediate single race, de
cided to give It up. as he could not find enough time
to devote to training. He wan tr-e junior reni<fe- s-nst*
race la the (all regatta with ease, and the club
members hoped that he would take part in tr.e
Memorial Day races.
The Metropolitan Row.njr Clot will be repre
nented in the regatta by an intermediate centirvue.
The men are boated a* follow*: Bow. Dunn >o. -.
Sulser: No. 3 Clement; stroke, Rivas- The club
will also have an Intermediate four-oar *lg. mad*

the association single race. __
Johnny Smith, coach and builder of the Nassau
Ron Club. «aid yesterday that he believed that nil
intermediate; crew would have a good chance of
beating any of the boat club crews, but he was In
clined to think that the crew to win this race wouM
be either the New York Athletic Club crew or that
