UTyAN O WAR!" shouted the grilled veteran of many "Irace tracks as ho leaned over the outer rail at Pim Hco yesterday, "the GREATEST HOSS that ever sunk his hoofs In a race track ! The real Man o' War of the turf!" A chestnut colt cantered up to the judges' stand and 80,000 voices united In a thunderous cheer which appar ently wan unheeded by the thoroughbred. The jockey saluted, tossed bin whip to a waiting hostler, dismounted, removed the saddle and walked into the weighing room. Thecolt wis bundled up In a blanket and led to the stable, where a vegetarian meal was waiting. Thoughts of that meal made more of a hit than the cheers. .Man o' War had just captured the feature race of Maryland, won It easily after outclassing n wonderful field, but It was all in a day's work. Cheers meant noth ing to him. The thousands of dollars which he won for thousands of people were mere incidents. In fact, he didn't know what it was all about. Perhaps he didn't even know he had been in n race, for not ouee in the mile and a furlong jaunt did he get a square look at any of his opponents. It was just the same as n practice gallop, for he leaped to the front when the barrier snapped, set his own pace and the others trailed behind. The real fight was for second and third places. There was no doubt as to the winner after the first jump. The race was one of the picturesque events of the ari There was color lots of It ; there was the Intense excitement which only can be found at a race track ; there was the crowd packed in the grand stand and on the front lawn, packed so tightly that another person could not possibly wedge his way through, nnd there was that multi-colored roof of hats spread in front, uneven, but swaying from side to side like a thatched covering in the wind, the brilliant straws and gaudy plumage of the female patrons mingling with the somber winter headgear f the men wbo still believe the straw hat season opens n June 1.

I" Man o' War Runs Away AP.UGLEH stepped in front of the judges' stand and blew "boota and saddles." There was a restless murmur from the dense throng, a craning of necks and then a complete silence which almost could be beard. The nine contenders for the Preakness honors were about to parade past the stand to the starting point, one furlong away. It was supposed to be a stately procession, led by a majordomo clad in a brilliant red coat, with each horse moving slowly and In a dignified manner to the barrier. That is what the spectators imagined. But it was entirely different. When thousands of eyes were turned toward the paddock gate a sorrel meteor v flashed out on the track, turned and ran with terrific peed past the stand. "Man o' War!" gasped the crowd. "He's running way! The jockey can't hold him!" Down the back stretch fie Hew. with little Kummer Bitting astride his neck. Slowly the jockey calmed the colt, brought him to a walk and stopped at the barrier. Then the crowd sighed with relief nnd turned to notch the other steeds nonchalantly sauntering toward the starter.

St. Allan refused to stand still, On Watch was mlsbehavlug, Upset started to kick his heels in the air and then Man o' Wnr started to cut up. Two hostlers held him in position, whilo half n dozen otheis tried to argue, with the others. Onco every horse was In position and it looked as If a perfect start would be made, but St. Allan whirled around again and put the whole line out of plumb. "That's the drug store favorite," muttered n specta tor disgustedly. "All he can do is put the parade out of step." While the horses were prancing around the barrier flew up. "They're off!" roared the crowd, and the nine thor oughbreds thundered down tbc track. Man o' War jumped into the lead and was ahead by a length when they passed the grand stand. King Thrush, Commander Ross's only entry, with Sande up, was second, Upset third and Diazes fourth. THE otheri tcere bunched in the rear, all going at a furious rate endeavoring to close up the gap which ico slowly but surely widening, Hack in the moo tea TViMat'r. considered the best of the Whit ney stable, but was handicapped because Ambrose got off to a poor start. IFildair Become Dangerous Man o" War still was leading, with at his heels. The Ross entry, by tbo way, was n red-hot tip and many expected him to give the Riddle colt a hard fight. He stuck closely, but in the meantime Wildair had crept up and was racing neck and neck with Upset, his stable companion. When the half-mile post'was passed the light blue illk of the Whitney stable could be seen creeping closer to the front, whilo King Thrush was beginning to falter. Sandc was riding n grand raco nnd his mount wus giving every thing he had, but the pace was beginning to tell on him. Around the turn the black blouse with the yellow sash and yellow bars on the sleeves still wns in front, but the blue was moving closer. "King Thrush is nil in nnd watch Upset!" roared the crowd. "Upset beat Man o' War 'once nnd will do it again. Here they come!" Into the homestretch came the galloping steeds, leav ing a dense cloud of dust behind. Kummer hugged the rail on the turn and in the straightaway it looked for an instant ns if Upset and Wildair would jump into the lead. But It wns only for an Instant. Kummer let his mount run for all that was in him and he drew away as if the others were standing still. Ambrose on Wildair and Rodrlqucr. on Upset whipped their mounts unmercifully, but the final effort was too much. While they were struggling along, putting every ounrc of strength into every leap, Man o' Wnr, running eusily, crossed the finish line several lengths to the good. His time was 1:51 3-5. the best me.de since 1911, when Au gust Belmont's Wntcrvalc established the record of 1 -51 Upset was second, Wildair third and King Thrush fourth! Had Riddle's colt been pressed there is no doubt that he would have smashed the record. He is in n class by himself and stands alone as the king of the turf. uVES, he's some hoss SOME HOSS!" re- turned the grizzled veteran after ihe cheering subsided and he could make himself heard. "Too had we can't see him in a race with Colin, eht Colin was a mighty hoss and never lost a race: but I don't see how ho can compare with Man o' War Some hoss, t say, SOME IJOSS!"

If some of the races are held on Friday it will be the first time that the American Henley hati heen n two-dav affair.

In speaking of the regatta today John Arthur Rrown, secretary of the American Rowing Association, said : "This regatta will be the greatest that has ever been held in the United States Never before have we had so many college crews of such high standard. Iu ray judgment it will be even a greater regatta than the historic English Hen ley."

The grand opening pf this rcmnrkoblc fistic emporium is scheduled for tonight, and more than 10,000 fans will have an opportunity to see for themselves a revelation in the way of boxing clubs. Last night a number of men interested in the game, some of whom have visited arenas iu every nook and four corners of the glove-game globe, were guests of Promoter George F. Pawliug on n sort of an investigation tour. They were surprised. Almost every one of the guests or in vestigators stood aghast their eye wide open, while others were so im pressed that they stood wlth mouths opened wide speechless, as it were. "WJonderful 1" ejaculated Sammy Har ris, of Raltlmore, nnd who was the first to regain his brcnth. "I have visited every city in the United States where boxing is permissible. This club cannot be even tied. Never saw anything like it." Walsh Takes the Floor "Huh," was Tommy Wulsh s open ing remark but that wasn't nil. Walsh, who hails from ChicaRo, and whose intimate friends call him "Tongue-tied Tom." then went oft on a line of conversation that would make a political campaigner envy with green ness, or something. "The greatest in the United States 1 That doesn't cover a little bit of the world. I have seen clubs in Australia, England and France, und a few other places far and near well, I never knew it was pos sible. It just only proves on how high a plane boxing Is going to he placed You can score one more victory for Philly." Situated at. Forty-fifth and Market streets, the Philadelphia Auditorium runs along the main thoroughfare for three-quarters of a block.

May 18. With Melvin Gallia purchased by the Browns nnd Ocorgc Smith pitching n I to 0 victory over the Cardinals, the Phillies' pitching staff, which appeared to be sinking when Lee Mentjows was injured, now promises to lift the Quakers out of tho second division. Thnt streak of nine straight defeats hns been forgotten by Gtivvy Cravnth and his Penn crew, and today they are looking up looking up in the direction of the first division. A pitcher was needed when the popu lar nnd ejiergetlc Meadows was put on the disabled list. For a tirno It was bu lived that his baseball career had ended, when his glasses, shattered by a foul tip, cut his right eve, but Cravoth an nounced today that he expected Meadows to rpjoin the club in at least three weeks. However, with the club losing nine games,' the Phils apparently were doomed to slide and slide and hit the cellar. A pitcher had to bo secured, nnd Magnate Bnker, taking Cravath's advice, closed with Jimmy Burke nnd the Browns for Gallia. Gallia should prove a winner for the Phillies. He is known iu St. Louis through his work with the Browns and is regarded us a spring pitcher, a pitcher who is a winner in the spring, owing to a terrific curve, but not so strong once the burning sun starts to beat down around the pitching mound. However. Cravath Is not worrying about any weaknesses Gallia may have. "I got in touch with several friends in the American League, nnd when I found out that Gallia was on the market they told me to get him and get him nt any price," said Cravath today. "And with this Information I told Mr. Baker not to let any one beat us to the pitcher." The release of Gallia from the BrownB' stall was quite a shock to the fans here, who regarded the Texan as a great pitcher. 1 is known, though, that he did not fit in with Burk's sys tem of play, and when he reported late for the spring training trip he then was marked for release. s2l livx ''With SJ six $mSJ STALLINCS MIR A CLE STUFF A GAIN j Bpston Braves Arc Beginning to Show Something Un,l expected in National League Carpentier Is Flashy Boxer, but Dempsey Hits With Lightning Speed ..- By OIMNTLAND BICE The Duffer's Itevlslon llowe'er it be it-seems to me, It's noble to be on one's game; Long putts are moro than coronets, And mashie shots than aidless fame.

Hnrlilng Back WE CAN still recall n balmy day in May when we were excessively youthful you might say, ridiculously young. . It was cither 1804 or 1805. Probably tho former. The Augusta club of the Southern League was taking the field. Dressed in black uniforms and led by a tall, liusky looking delegate, this team dashed to its various positions with a ruRh. Tho playing manager was none other than George Stalllngs. who was just emerging into managerial fame. He won the pennant; that season in a cantor, largely through hustling all along the road. He was then n bundlo of energy and In that respect he hasn't changed in the last twenty-fivo years. STALLING S has won a lot of pen nants in various leagues since that campaign of '04 or '05. ' And he hns won most of them through his ability to make his earnest athletes arise upon their hind legs and hustle nil tho way. In the last decade or so ho seems to havo adopted the Six Tear Period. ' He broke tho world'H miracle record in 1014 by turning a July tall-cndcr into world's champions. And now In 1020 he has suddenly started making threatening gestures with a ball club unnnlmously voted last place early in April. And the frenk turn Is that Barnes and Nehf, two of his best pitchers, who were sold to the Giants, have done their share in letting the Giants down with a crash. But so it goes in the merry old pas time. Adjusting the dope to the box scores and the standing ol, the clubs is still replete with kinks and vicissi tudes.
