"Chick" Evans Eliminates Lewis in Record-Breaking Match
That Ends on 41st Green
Herron Is Defeated by Platt;
Fownes Puts Out Bob Gardner
Western Star Lucky to Score Over Greeenwich
Player in National Amateur Meet?Jones and
Ouimet Win Easily?Kirkby Out on 39th Hole
By Grantland Rice
In so far as the green and white flare of intensified drama is con?
cerned, the world's greatest golf match has come to pass at last. Ther?
have been other matches.that offered more consistently brilliant golf, but
there never has been another in the history of the national amateur chamV I
pionship that went as far, or that produced as many pulse-quivering'
thrills as the battle at Roslyn, L. I., yesterday, when "Chick" Evans, of '
Chicago, finally conquered Reginald ?1. Lewis, of Greenwich, on the forty
first hole.' The match ended just a breath before the two golfers and
the big gallery were ready to collapse from nervous exhaustion and sheer
physical fatigue.
Something like two decades ago Wal-<4"
ter J. Travis and Wilder, of Massnchu
Ktts. went to forty holes at Garden
City before the former ?nally won. Yes
t?r?iay Evans and Lewis set a new
championship record, when the worn and
weary "Chick" sunk hi3 two-foot putt
on the forty-nrst green after the equally
worn and weary Lewis had taken three
putts and had missed his final bid by
an inch.
"Chick's" short attempt fluttered in,
fluttered out again and then, as if im- i
biied with the weariness of both the
gallery and the players, finally sank
from sight in the bottom of the waiting
hita The story of the last few holes
contains far more drama and concen?
trated human emotion than it does in
the way of technical golf.
Squares Match at 33d
All through the forenoon round the
young Greenwich star had stuck to
Evans with the grip of destiny. He was
not to be shaken loose. Blow for blow
he carried on the battle through the
Afternoon finish until he finally squared
the match on the fifteenth hole of the
thirty-third green.
All square now and but three to play.
From all over the course scattered gal?
leries, scenting the possibility of a
thrilling finish, rushed from knoll and
knob, from hiil and vallev to be in at !
the death.
At the thirty-fourth hole Lewis
topped his tee shot where Evans struck
off a far swipe down the middle of the .
half blind fairway. Lewis, forced to
play short of the guarding ditch, had
little chiince for a half. But Evans's
mashie pitch caught a roll of the green
and fina?y trickled into the heavy grass
fringing the foot, of the green. c
Lewis at this point proved again that
he was a golfer of both raw nerve and
rare class. He pitched boldly to the
eup with enough baekspin to hold his
ball only six feet away, and when
Chick chipped out twenty feet short of
the pin all his advantage had been
vriped away. His putt failed to go
down, and then Lewis turned a bad
start into a fine finish by holing his
six-footer for a par 4. He was then
i up in place of being 1 down.
Once again at the seventeenth, after
he had chipped by the cup on his third,
Lewis had to hole a ten-foot, curling
putt to hold his advantage, and when
the ball dropped in the lusty shout
that went up gave full approval to his
cool, game stand.
Makes Desperate Stand
Evans was now 1 down with but one
hole left?and it was at this hol? that
the Western ?tar made th? most des?
perate stand to stay in that,he has ever
made in his tournament experience of
twelve years. Both hit two good drives j
down tho middle, with Chick a trifle
short and a trifle to the left. Just a I
few seconds after his ciub crashed into
the ball the ball crashed into a gap of
ancient oaks well to the left of the
green and bounded back some sixty or
seventy yards from the green.
The crash of the ball against the
tree limbs seemed to reecho like the
voice of doom, ho far as Evans was ?
concerned. And when Lewis played to
the bank beyond the green for a sure
6 no one who knew the contour of
this final green could conceive of any
thing but a victory for Lewis.
But Evans refused to quit. He pitched ;
down the ?lope ten feet beyond the j
pin, leaving himself a sloping, treach?
erous putt over tho hardest green in j
the cour?e to manipulate. Lewis, tak- |
ing his tine, coolly chipped down with?
in eight feet of the cup. j
It was then up to Evans. He had to <
get his putt and his opponent had to
miss, or the lights were out of the '
Western star. Evans starte! his putt :

Young Harmon Passed
Up Chance of Career
/"\NE of the most unusual golf j
stories on record came to light
yesterday. It developed that when
Pete Harmon conceded his match
to Dave Herron on the thirty-ninth
tee, after apparently driving two
balls out of bounda, neither tee shot I
had reached out of bound? soil.
Both had passed well beyond the
line of the last out of bounds stake, I
and if Harmon had been able to !
find his ball in the heavy brush he !
would have had a chance to reach j
the green, or, at least, to play safe
for his 5. In place of this, he as?
sumed that both were out and so
conceded the match to Herron,
where he might have had a good
chance to give an even battle for
the hole.
curve, broke off sharply when about
two feet away, and then disappeared i
from sight?one of the greatest putts
ever sunk in any championship any?
where on earth.
Lewis missed his fourth, and so they
moved along to the first extra hole.
Here two fine drivea traveled on down
the course. Evans, away, elected to
play safely to the right of the pin,
catching the bottom of the green's big
(dip. Lewis, playing boldly for the
cup, caught the green's down slant
and the ball, while perfectly struck,
rolled into a trap beyond. He wa?
baroly out on his third, still forty feet
or more away. Evans, fifty feet from
the hole, had a treacherous putt to
handle up the sloping, baffling bank,
and he did well enough to get the
ball within five feet of the cup.
Long Putt Eludes Cup
Lewis here made his bid for victory.
His long putt hit the cup and bounded
out. A moment later Evans's putt
curled up to within a hair of the rim
and hung there.
Off they were to the second extra
hole, where another flare and flash of
drama was In the making. Once again
two fine drives came about, Evans then
pitched eighteen feet beyond the cup
to the righ't, while Lewis struck his
approach too boldly and the flying ball
scampered from the green well up the
steep bank, where it lay in the brown
rouph, leaving an imposyible shot back. ?
This situation seemed to leave Evans j
his second chance to win. But Lewis,
after carefully reviewing the contour
and the downward slope, finally chipped
out with just enough speed to let the
ball tickle over a grassy ditch, working
its way through the remainder of the
rough, and then trickle on its way to
within eighteen inches of the hole?
dead for a par 4.
After this magnificent ?hot the shout
that rolled out from the big gallery
across Long Island Sound carried as
much in the way of vocalistic cata?
clysm as the wild howl of the tribe
when Babe Ruth hits one of his famous
heiro runs.
Once atrain Lewis refused to yield,
for the best Evans could do was to get
down in two putts.
More Thrills on 39th * .
The next move was on to the 39th
hole, another thriller. Evans again
wa3 straight down the middle, far and
true. Lewis pushed his long tee shot
off to the right in a cluster of bushes
and trees, facing once more an almost
impossible shot. The ball was not
only partly stymied from the green by
a group of trees, but it was lying bad?
ly on a group of sticks which he could
not move. But once again the Green?
wich entry came through with a mira?
cle recovery, thudding into the ball
with such fierce force that he not only
chared the trees but also the green.
Qiick once again had his chance with |
an easy mashie niblack putt left. But i
the strain wa3 beginning to tell and h? j
, hooked his approach to the left of the .
? green, and as neither got dead on their
' chip shots back another half in 5's re
j suited.
Coming to the 40th hole after two
good drivea Evan? hooked his second
to the left of the green, while Lewis
righted the green's edsre at the back,
leaving himself a puzzling 40-foot ap
j proach to get dead. Chick's third shot
I wa? 15 feet over, and Lewis's approach
! putt failed to take the roll, stopping 8
'. feet to the right of the pin. Once
; more they halved in 5's and moved on
to the 41st green, slogging their way
] or. to i? championship record.
Evans caught the rough to the left,
' while Lewis sliced into rough at the
, right. Both were short on their aec
; onds, and both were alike, 30 feet short
| of the cup, on their third shots.
? Evans'? approach putt stopped hole
?high 2 feet to the right, while Lewis,
? 6 feet short, failed to get his 5, and
i so passed out of the tournament after
j one of the gamest bids any golfer ever
i made. *
It was the narrowest squeak that
Evans has ever drawn, and his brilliant
recovery at the 36th green will long
stand among the classics of golfing his?
tory.

The turning point of this match
came at the thirteenth and fourteenth |
holes in the afternoon. Herron, trapped !
at the thirteenth on his second, was over I
the green on his third and needed a 6. ?
He was then 2 down. At the short four?
teenth Platt pumped his ball over into
the trap beyond, the ball lying badly
near the junction of grass and sand at
the back of the hazard. Herron's high
pitch stopped twelve feet, from the
tin. Platt, with a murderous recovery
to make, not only pot his ball out, but
put it within four feet of the cup for
a half in 3.
Two down and only four to play,
Herron faced a rueged task. This task
became even harder when Platt pitcheo
from the matted grass on the fifteenth
and holed his eight-footer for a par 4.
A3 the sixteenth nnd seventeenth were
halved Herron finally succumbed by the
margin of 2 and 1.
It was a hard blow for Dave, but he
had never been able to get his game
going at the old Oakmont clip. Platt's
tine punting and wonderful recoveries
featured his play.
Ex-Champlone Locked in Grapple
While Bobby Jones was downing
Frank Dyer and Tommy Armour was
eliminating Phil Carter, two past
champions were locked in an old
fashioned battle when Bob Gardner
and Bill Fownes came together. This
match was featured by two sudden
turns. In the morning round Fownes
opened at 3uch speed that he left Gard?
ner far in the rear. While the Chicago
entry was struggling Fownes was turn?
ing out nothing but 4s and 3s, and so
he was 5 up at the seventh hole.
Later on in the journey Gardner cut
this big lead to a pair of holes. He
was 2 down at the forenoon finish,
but once again Fowti's got the jump I
and around the eighth hole in the
afternoon he was 7 un. Then Gard?
ner cut the leash and "by coming back
in 33 Fownes had to make two wonder- I
ful second shots to hold his marpin.
He was only 2 up coming to the 34th
green.
In the face of Gardner's fine tee shot
the Pittsburgh veteran was forced to
play a spoon shot over a group of
trees to reach the green, one of the
finest shots of the day. At the 35th
he was again called upon to ram a
long second home, and once again he
dropped the ball within a few feet
of the cup. Gardner's 33 on the home?
ward journey was another exhibition
of his gameness and skill, but the rally
came too late against a golfer of
Fownes's experience, judgment, skill
and nerve.
Another dramatic upset followed
when Ned Allis, 7 down to O?wald
Kirkby at the 24th hole, finally emerged
triumphant on the 39th green. Kirk?
by was 5 up, with only nine holes left.
But at this poiat his putting touch over
the rolling greens vanished, and he
then lost six of the next eight holes,
where Allis was playing par golf.
Game Rally by Kirkby
One down coming to the 36th hole,
Kirkby rallied and carried the battle
on by getting a fine 4. After two
halved holes in par Kirkby's tee shot
on tho 39th went out of bounds, and
this was enough to settle the match.
Both men played good sound golf all
day until the turn came in the last
nine holes.
Jones was 8 up against Frank Dyer
in the morning battle, but in the after?
noon Dyer played the first thirteen
holes In two under 4's for a gamo bi?! to
stay in the scrap. But Jones, after
losing four holes finally settled the
match on the short fourteenth.
As a result of yesterday's matches
Evans meets Fownes to-day, whi'e |
Allis is facing Platt in the upper half.
In the lower half, Quimet. who won
easily, takes on Tommy Armour, the
surviving Scotsman, who has proved
that he is an opponent not to he taken
lightly. Another feature match will
come between Jones and Fred Wright
of Boston. These two youngsters tied
for the medal round on Monday at 154,
and Wright added new laurels to his
record yesterday by defeating Jesse
Sweetser, after a hard struggle, 2 and 1.
The elimination of Herron and Gard?
ner makes the winner of the Evans
Fownes match look like the finalist in
the upper wing of the draw, while if
Quimet and Jones both win to-day, they
will meet to-morrow in a 36-hole test
that will draw one of the greatest
galleries on record. But before they
get this far they must both overcome
two strong opponents who are playing
championship golf in Armour and
Wright.

For Golf Title
Philadelphia? Plays a Con
si /tent Game and Is Now
Likely to Reach the Final
By Ray McCarthy
After hi? wonderful victory over
Dave Herron yesterday J. Wood Platt,
of North Hills, Philadelphia, begins to
look like a champion possibility. Let
nobody make the mistake of believing
Platt's overthrow of the titleholder was
i a fluke. It was as well-earned and as
? brilliant a win as was ever staged in
this tournament.
Herron'a gameness and bulldog tenac
: ity in sticking with an opponent are
well known in the golfing world. And
to defeat him one must keep shooting
| at top speed until the final stroke is
I made. This in itself gives a hint as to
the kind of player Platt is. But if
one is skeptical of his ability or of
j his nerve he need only to follow him in
one of his matches to be convinced the
Quakertown youth possesses the goods
Platt is at all times as cool as eithei
Ray or Vardon. He ia as supremelj
confident in all crises as Walter Hager
?if not more so. And he is as fasi
in his play as any golfer w? have ir
this country. Some say he rival'
George Duncan, the British open title
holder, in speed. Above all, Platt neve;
becomes discouraged.
Makes Great Recoveries
Time and again yesterday Plat
either caught a trap or the rough, bu
he always came back with an astonish
ing recovery. These recoveries fea
tured the day's play. For instance 01
the fourteenth hole, the well knowi
battleship green, he drove over th
carpet into a trap In getting a lie tha
seemed unplayable. Yet he chippe
out wonderfully well and sank a six
foot putt to halve the hole.
On the fifteenth fairway, the crow
gathered so close to the Philadelphia
he could scarcely swing his clul
"Will you kindly move back a little?
he asked. And then, taking a mashi?
he stepped up and smacked a perfe?
shot to the edge of the green, withou
! consuming more than a second's time.
Platt's grit was superbly shown o
! the last few holes of the match. O
. the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth
\ Herron had by far the best of it up 1
; the green and looked as' though r
; would win each of these holes easii
I after tha tea shots. But the Norl
' Hills star stuck like glue, played h
| game all the way and halved each i
the above mentioned holes.

Foreigner Still ?n Fight
Thomas Armour, the lad from Sec
land and the sole survivor of the fc
eigners, remains in the running. H
| victim yesterday was Philip Carter,
j Shinnecock. On the morning rou
Carter had by far the better of t
going. In fact, it looked for a seco
time as though Armour would be fore
out. The steady pace of the Long 1
ander left him one up at the end
the first half.
But Armour is persistent, and
though he got off to a bad "?tart
the afternoon he quickly settled do'
and began to draw away from his <
ponent. He won the twentieth h,
after losing the nineteenth and beco
ing two down, and he won the twen
first with sound golf, which put him
even focting again. But he slipj:
back once more on the twenty-secc
by taking a 6. On the sixth, or twe
ty-fourth, Armour got a beauti
birdie 3 by getting home in two a
sinking a long putt. He also won t
last two holes going out and from tl
on was never headed.
If Armour can survive his n-ntch
day, that with Francis Ouimet, he v
merit serious consideration for
title. The Boston star had an easy t?
of it yesterday, defeating M. M. Ja
of Merion, by 0 and 7. The forn

upsets. Two more were played yes?
terday. In addition to the Evans
Lewi? struggle, which set a tourna?

the thirty-nine-hole match between E.
D. Allis, of Milwaukee, and Oswald
Kirkby, of the Englewood club, ex
Metropolitan title-holder.
Kirkby looked a sure winner when
he was 5 up at the twenty-seventh

To-day's matches promise plenty of I
excitement for the galleries. Chick
Evans will meet W. C. Fownes, who |
eliminated Bob Gardner yesterday, and I
it would not be greatly surprising to I
see the two former titleholders go into |
extra holes. Fownes just at present is j
playing beautiful golf and is as steady
as the old hall clock. It will be in
teresting to see if Evans's nerve
wracking contest against Lewis has
affected him in any way.
Woodie Platt is counted on to win
from E. P. Allis and remain for the
semi-final round, but this, too, is by
no means a certainty. Allis is going
well and is a grand golfer to boot.
It remains for Ouimet to put out the
last foreign survivors and the ma?
jority of fans are figuring on the Bos
tonian to turn the trick. If he doesn't
we shall have to begin worrying about
our amateur crown.
What is being doped by many as the
feature struggle of the day is that in
which Bobby Jones will play against
Fred Wright. These two youngsters
have entertained the gallery the past
few days with some wonderful shots.
Many believe Wright has the necessary
game and nerve to defeat the youthful
sensation from Atlanta, but it must
be remembered that Jone3 hasn't even
been pushed as yet, and if he is he
may surprise with an astonishing
round.

Feature Event
Le Glorieux Home First
When Blue Laddie Bleeds ;
Three Faul in 'Chase
By W. J. Macbeth
The wonder of wonders developed in
the running of the fourth race at Bel
mont Park yesterday afternoon when
the Quincy Stable's Le Glorieux won
the Seaside Selling Handicap at a mile
and a quarter.
Le Glorieux was the rank outsider
of a field of three and galloped homo I
on the bit, as usually happens in fie- j
lion and sometimes in real life. Le '
Glorieux, of course, beat the odds-on
choice by a city block and the odds-on
choice just had to be away back near
the sixteenth pole when the race was
over, a very discredited thoroughbred
?as always happens in fiction.
It was a blood and thunder melo?
drama, this running of the advertised
feature race of a somewhat ordinary!
card at Belmont yesterday. The odds- i
on favorite, the Greentree'Stable's Blue I
Laddie, furnished all the blood and
most of the thunder. Blue Laddie was I
quoted at 2 to 5 by the oral layers and|
probably would have walked home had j
he not burst a blood vessel. He bled ;
so badly he had to be pulled up and
that is why he finished a very dis
credited last in a field of three.
Books Spurn Blue Laddie Money
Everybody got aboard Blue Laddie, j
The books were refusing commissions
at any price. Blue Laddie is a stable !
mate of Debadou, the old-time timber- i
topper that came out last Friday and 1
f.gain Tuesday and raced like a stake !
horse over the flat. Blue Laddie had
been put over tho jumps this year and
that was enough for the wise "fish. j
It looked for a time as if Blue Lad-'
die would do all that Debadou, his!
boarding companion, had done the. day!
before. Fairbrother, as with Debadou, I
soon took the track and raced out into |
a long lead. Le GloritAix outraced I
Biff Bang, the second choice, but still I
could not keep within gunshot of the i
favorite. And then, midway round the ;
turn, it all happened. Blue Laddie was!
seen to falter in his stride, to waver ?
and to back up. Le Glorieux raced !
around him almost at will on the j
stretch turn. Even Biff Bans, in no |
wise partial to the track, closed with a I
rush on the early pacemaker as soon I
as he folded. It was then all over ?
but the shouting. Le Glorieux won in !
a common canter. Biff I3an?_', which
was lost in the shuffle at the time, had
no difficulty in taking the place from
the favorite, which was pulled
walk through the stretch.
to
"Sunny Jim" Has Holiday
It was a re?:ular old fashioned Roman'
holiday for . Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. I
He owns Li Glorieux, which got the
lion's share of the Seaside Handicap!
and he saddled the Quincy Stable's j
Teddy R., the second choice, which won
tho Mine?la, with $2,000 added, nt ;
six furlongs straight for two-year-olds.
Teddy R. won just about ay he pleased,,
but there might have been a far differ- j
ent story if Walter J. Salmon's Bodan- !
zky had not been interfered with
throughout the first five furlongs by;
Squaw Man, the favorite. Squaw Man
and Bodanzky broke in front of the !
others. But Squaw Man refused to run
true. He kept boring out and bumping:
Bodanzky until finally outside the
quarter, Ponce took up and came to
the inside of the favorite. He was run
ning over the others at the end.
The steeplechase for the maiden
three-year-olds at about two miles :
proved a thriller in more ways than
one. Of a field of five no less than
three fell in most spectacular spills.
Elmer Johnson was the first to go I
down, and his rider, II. Phillips, after!
he saw the others fall, remounted and |
rode out the race for third money.
Such as it was this timber-topping j
event was a disgraca to the name of j
the sport. W. Blake, on Surf, allowed
the favorite, Frank B? to steal a lead
of a furlong in the first mile ;ind a j
half. Surf was full of running and
closed like a Cyosset, but rr!o late, of |
course. Winooski was no tired at the
last fence that he simply fell over it ,
and lay like dea?! for several minutes, j
Ho fe?l on R. Hanna, who had to be ,
rescued, but who, fortunately, was r.ot
seriously injured.
Eight of the Futurity eligibJes, many !
of which will start on Saturday, met in
the Islip Handicap, at five and a half
furlongs straight, the opening event.
This was won by Max Hirsch'3 Gray
Lag, which closed with a great rush..
Star Voter weakened right at the end.
Tom McTaggart, the odds-on favorite
of the fifth race, at a mile, romped
home as he pleased. Sam Hildreth's
Krower, the choice of the concluding
number, raced straight as an arrow
through the six furlongs chute coui-30
and outgamed the heavily weighted
King Thrush in the final yards.

Miss Goss in Fourth Round
After One Day of Playing
Runner-Up in Ranking
Stars at Westchester;
Mrs. Mallory Also Wins
By Fred Hawthorne
The final preparatory tournament
that leads up to th? women's national
championship event at Philadelphia
next week, started yesterday morning
on the picturesque turf courts of the
Country Club at Westchester, -with an
entry list of thirty-three, including
some of the high ranking players of the
country. Mrs. Molla Bjursted Mallory,
three times former national champion,
and Miss Eleanor Goss, No. % in the
national ranking Let, are the logical
finalists, being on opposite sides of the
draw.
Miss Goss reached into the round
before the semi-final, by means of a
bye and two victories, and an idea of
the pace at which she was going may
be gathered when it is pointed out that
she lost only two games in the four
sets she played. Mrs. Mallory moved
at quite as swift a pace, vanquishing
Miss Jessie Gott by a score of ?8?f,
6?0 and always holding herself in
check.
Under the guidanc? of Miss Florence
Eallin, New Jersey state champion,
who is running the tourney, the orig?
inal field was reduced to fifteen sur?
vivors late in the afternoon. The
singles will be brought into tha semi?
final round this afternoon and a start
made in the women's doubles.
Mrs. Mallory's backhand was going
extremely well in the match with Miss
Gott, and many of the former cham?
pion's points were earned as she ripped
these shots at beautiful angles across
the court. Miss Gott found it prac?
tically impossible to cover up the holes
in her court, for Mrs. Mallory was
acing her continually with shots that
cither hit the lines or came within
inches of them.
Miss Goss first took on Mrs. Wallach
and romped through the match in spec?
tacular fashion, winning twelve games
in a row as she drove and served with
great severity and then moved to tho
net to finish off the points. She wta
even better against Miss Winn, allow?
ing the latter only two games.
Miss Odette Feder, a tennis prot?g?
of Mrs. Mallory's. was defeated in the
second round by Mrs. Percy Wilbourn,
the 3ets going at 6?1, 6?2, after put?
ting up a good battle. She shows a
tendency to hurry her strokes at pres?
ent and is utterly lacking in tourna?
ment experience, but under Mrs. Mal?
lory's tutoring and with her natural
tennis ability she should go far. Mr?.
Wilbourn was going very well.
Miss Seavey Rallies
Mrs. Benjamin F. Briggs, of Pelham,
after running away with the first set
at 6?1 against Miss Evelyn Seavey, of i
Kansas City, was forced to the limit
in the second set, the games going to
8?6. Miss Seavey 'a strokes are exe?
cuted in perfect form and she create?
a very favorable impression, but yester?
day she was inclined to go for the net
without having first opened the way
with forcing shots; but even so, she
kept Mrs. Briggs on the run all through
the final set.
Miss Marguerite Davis, of St. Paul,
one of the very best of the Middle West
stars, defeated Miss Margaret Kidder
at 6?0, 6?1, in the second round, and
her playing indicated that she may
make a formidable bid for the final
bracket in Miss Goss's half. Mrs. de
Forest Candce won a hard three-set
match at 4?6, 6?3, 6?2, from Miss
Gertrudo Delia Torre, with most of th*
play from back-court.
Miss Lillian Scharman, of Brooklyn,
a young player who showed fine prom?
ise last, winter in the Heights Casino's
annual indoor tournament, justified j
much of the confidence placed in her
by defeating Mrs. G. B. Hirsch yester- j
day by a score of 6?3, &?6. Miss
Scharman has many of the physical
characteristics and actions that mark
the good player, and her ground strokes [
are made with plenty of pace and in j
fine form. This morning she will face
Mrs. Edward Raymond.
Mrs. Edward V. Lynch, Eastern New j
York State champion, gained her third
round bracket by defeating Mrs. Albert
Humphries, of New Rochelle, by a score
of 6?2, 6?4, holding her own in the
long driving rallies from deep court
and showing superiority when she ?
closed in at the net to volley.
25 to 1 Shot Home First
In the St. Leger Stakes
DON'CASTER, England, Sept, 8.?The
St. Leger Stakes of ?6,500, run here to?
day, was won by an outsider, Caligula, I
owncl by F. O. Goculdas, quoted in this !
morning's betting at 25 to 1.
Sir Edward Hulton's Silvern was sec- j
ond and Lady James Douglas's Mant?n
was third. Fourteen horses ran. The?
favorite for the event was Spion Kop,
the Derby winner, which was unplaced.!
The race was for entire colts and fil- i
lies foaled in 1917, and was over the
St. Leger course of about one mile six i
furlongs and 132 yards.
