Arowund The Rail At The Race Track

The race horses are practically all in now. Every stall on the grounds is filled up and the Heartz barn is being utilized for the overflow. The only ones not here are Abner T. Clegg 2.04 1-4, who is journeying all ' the way from Pennsylvania and will arrive this evening. May Tell 2.1.; and Uscita L. will also be here this evening. It is the most race horses that have been stabled on the grounds for any year in the, writer's memory.

Billy Keyes who was one of the racing moguls of a few years ago but last fall decided to quit the game and go into the raising of Silver Foxes, has figured in the purchase of the pacer Abner T. Clegg 2.04 1-4 for Frank Adams of Halifax.

This is said to be a very high priced horse and he has certainly cut a. wide swath in his short rac- ing career of less than three years. Two weeks ago he won in 2.06 over a Pennsylvania track, but that has been discounted by the local racing men. They say that it means 2.10 here because of the different conditions due to heavier air and the change from that sec- tion to this, particularly the long travel of nearly 1.700 miles by truck and train. You will be able to judge for yourself whether this view is correct on Wednesday as Abner T. Clcgg will be a starter that day.

There were a lot of workouts at the track on Saturday but nothing of a sensational nature- ‘Ihe boys are evidently retaining any surplus speed for race days, which isn't a bad idea. The fastest mile paced was by Calumet Brownie who stepped in 2.1a 1-2 with the last half in 1.05 very simply, There were a lot of colts and aged horses worked out but none were let out towithin eight or ten seconds of

their real capacity. Take

Unified States Wigh tman Cup Defeating British Team

NEW YORK, Aug. lB-In a totally unexpected reversal of form, the United States Wight- mnn Cup tennis team won three out of four of Saturday's matches at Forest 1111's and retained the trophy for the fifth year.

Five thousand spectators who had come out to see the British team carry away the Cup, were amazed to see Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fnbyan. Miss Helen Hull Jacobs who had been defeated the day before. and Mrs. Ethel Burkhardt Arnold take three singles matches in a row to win without much trouble.

Returns To Form

Outstanding was the perform- ance of the diminutive Mrs Arn- old who had been soundly beaten by the powerful Dorothy Round en Friday. Against Miss Round. Mrs. Arnold's four feet lfinchcs had appeared ineffective. But Saturday she faced the redoubt- able left-hander Kay Stammers, and won.

Until her defeat Friday, Mrs- Arnold had won every tournament she entered this year and the choice of the Wlghtman Cup committee making her No. two of the American team became justi- fied by her game against Miss Stammers. In n tense and brill- iantly fought contest, her looping forehand matched the driving. of the English girl. She smashed away consistently with a none too lovely back-hand, kept beautiful control of her shots and was all
