RESERVATIONS NOW BEING MADE AT OUR NEW YORK OFFICE: 402 MADISON AVENUE Telephone: Murray Hill 9372. Sporting the silks of Nat S. Hurd, the popular President of the Jockey Club, and nicely ridden by Hulcoat, the con sistent racer, Uncle Sand, negotiated the five furlong distance in the feature event of last week's race meeting in 1:00 2-5, and clipped a fraction from the former track record held by Wasseon. Uncle Sand's feat was even more re markable because the race was run over a track that was far from fast, the showers of the previous day having left it in a heavy and holding condition.; He was entered with some of the best horses here and after taking the lead with the fall of the flag made his own pace and came on to an easy victory over Mary G., Lady Betty and others. If his owner takes him to the big tracks this summer he is certain to give a good account of himself. All the races of the afternoon brought out well filled fields and some high-class racing was enjoyed by the big crowd. F. L. Stevens' black gelding, Troben, accounted for the other flat race of the day by defeating High Olympus and Old Gibb. Miss Peter Toddington found the soft track very much to her liking and copped first money and the silver trophy in the Class A. trot. Mike Kelly was second in this event and Za quilla took the short end of the purse. In the steeplechase event, Kate Glenn turned tables on Melos and Eay-0 '-Light and after trailing her field for the first turn of the course came with a great burst of speed in the last quarter and gained the decision by a comfortable margin. Melos was second and Ray-O'-Light third. After the finish of the race and as the horses were turning for the return'' to the 'scales, iRay-0 '-Light tmeitfed his rider', Norman, and the boy was thrown heavily to the ground. Fortunately, he escaped with a shaking up and some painful but not serious bruises. The Jockey Club meetings will con tinue every "Wednesday throughout the month of April and all of the horsemen will keep their charges here until after the close of the season. The summary: CLASS A. TROT Miss Peter Toddington (Jones) 111 Mike Kelly (Balland) 2 3 2 McAlcryon (Hayes) 3 2 3 Time: 2:20 1-4; 2:20; 2:2-. Practically all of the leading profes sionals throughout the country are as sembled at Pinehurst for the North and South Open tournament, which will be played on Friday and Saturday of this week, and speculation is rife as to the probable winner. It is like trying to pick the winner of a Kentucky derby in a winter book, for there are so many crack players in the big field that a one stroke margin is likely to turn the trick. Joseph Kirkwood, the sensational Aus tralian trick shot, has been here several days and seems to be the uncertain one of the meeting. He js undoubtedly a good golfer and has wonderful control over the ball, but seems to be a trifle off on his long game and is not familiar with the sand greens, and there is much in terest as to how he will come out in the fast field. Walter Hagen came in a day or two ago. He has been wintering in Florida and has not been playing as well as last year. Jim Barnes has been suffering with boils on his neck and has not been able to get in any practice since coming here, although it is practically certain that he will be a starter. Clarence Hack ney, Leo Diegel, Tom Kerrigan, Pat Doyle, George McLean, Freddie Mc Leod, Tom McNamara, Pat ' O 'Hara, Emmet French and several others have been here all week and have been turn ing in some low practice scores. Jock Hutchinson will arrive Thursday. Clar ence Hackney breezed over the Champ ionship course in 70 the day he arrived, and Wilfred Reid went him one better with a 69 on No. 3 course, but a round of 67 on Number 2 by Tom Kerrigan was the star performance of the week. Kerrigan's great 'round was made in a four-ball contest in which, without any aid from his partner, he finished 5 up on the best ball of Tom McNamara and Al Mendes and in which he might have had a 66 if he had taken advantage of the casual water rule at the first hole instead of playing through a rain pud dle and getting a 5 on the hole. His card was: Out 54434344 334 In 44444243 43367 Mike Brady, who holds the official rec ord for the Championship course with a 67 made in the North and South Open several years ago, turned in a 70 as his first practice round.
