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.
