KING BEIIWDDA WON OUT. Tony Licalzi bought Kmg Bermuda for a liberal price from Jm Hand shortly after the -wet weather set in and in Wednesdays nine-far-ione condition race at Harlem more than won the horse ont. Kin? Bermuda was always a good mad runner. Then, too, he has always favored a route. He showed that he was good bv winning on dry -going at H awthorne and LicalziV purchase was a timely one. King Bermuda had only an ordinary lot to beat in the last race and Lica.zi got -about 7 to 5 for a gocd libral bet down. He and Jim Murphy have been booking together -all snmmer and are over 0,000 to the good. Yititoe had the mount on Kins Bermuda and Tode him to perfection. On the other hand, Hose, who was on Tppan, his sharp opprnent, -used miserable judgment. Yititoe rated his horse along cleverly all the way and allowed Tappan to race himeelf off his feet. Rose evidently was under the impression that lis was xiding a sprint race nd got as far in front with Tappan as he possibly could. On the far turn Tappan was six lengths to the good, but in the stretch he bagan to back up, and at the eighth post King Bermuda got him. From there home Yititoe took matters easily and the King won as he pleased. It seems to ba a hard thing for the Harlem judges to get the crowd to agree with them and hardly a close fini-h turns up that a few know-alls do not raise a howl. This is because the JiniBhng line is at such sn angle that from the -stand those that 8e the fin sb are under the impression that the horse on the outside alwajs wins After yesterdays third event, which H. 8. Tob-cco won by a narrow margin from Jim Gore II., the crowd got out of line and made some nnisa over tbo decision. It was a very -tight fit bat H 8. Tobiccogot up in the very last stride and poked his nose in front. As a matter of fact Conley, who rode H. S. Tobacco, clearly outflnished Vititoe on Jim Gore II. Montgomery was f ivorita for the rare, but after leadiog into the stretch he showed the white feather and was lucky to get third money. "Bad" Mey seems to have an exeptionaly gnoi mud runner in Avenstoko and at oids-on the youngster romped home, the easiest knd of a winner in the fifth race. Slid ad. long over due and ridden by Burns, won the op -ning three quarter scramble in a sensational way There were tea starters and at the half mile ground Elidad was a bad last and seemed bop le sly beaten. He took a notion to run on the far turn, however, and pick-iog up his buries one by one managed to get np jaetin time to win by a nose from Bed Gidd. There was a very ordinary lot in the second race, and Isen. at 8 to 1, proved to ba the best. 8be got to the front at the bead of the stretch and standing a drive to the wira, succeeded in b.aticgThe Plutocrat. The fourth race was a gift for Yerify. This aouofVi:tory Bonnie Lizzie is a stake horse in heavy going and strongly supported at odds-on, he made his nail luok cheap. Borne BespaBS will leave with his entire staOe for Latonia today. Ha is obliged to be in Kentucky for the coming gubernatorial election and decided to have his horses close at .hand.
