ROBERT WADDEIX AGAIN For an off day there was a big crowd on hand at Hawthorne yesterday and deepite the medi ¬ ocre attractions the sport was greatly enjoyed the finish in the fourth race arousing the spec ¬ tators to the keenest pitch of enthusiasm The race in question was won by that popular idol Bobert Waddell who under a masterful ride by Bnllman got up and passed Ben Battle in the last sixteenth when he had seemed to be beaten beatenThere There was a long delay at the post caused by the tantrums of Scotch Plaid and Obia When the quartet got the word Scotch Plaid was two lengths behind the others and was practically beaten from the sendoff Obia and Ben Battle running as one horse cut out the pace reach ing the quarter post five lengths in front of Bobert Waddell which was almost four in front of the Burns Waterhouse gelding Little change occurred in these positions in the back stretch run with the exception that Scotch Plaid moved up closely to the Derby winner After passing beyond the half mile post Ben Battle shook off O6Ta easily and assumed a commanding lead swinging into the final straightaway three lengths in the lead of the Bradley pet It appeared all over like Ben Battle when passing toward the last eighth post but along in here Bnllman began riding Bobert Waddell with all the force and energy he could summon and by dint of powerful jockeysbip got the gelding on even terms with the leader Little Bicks suddenly lost control of Ben Battle and the gelding bore in toward the outside rail carrying Bobert Waddell with him The interference hardly affected the result however as the son of Aloha gradually drew away and finally crossed the line a length in the lead with Scotch Plaid third five lengths back of Ben Battle Hicks was called up into the stand after the race and after a reprimand from Judge Bees was fined 100 for reckless riding ridingQuite Quite a fair field of sprinters faced the barrier in the fifth race Braw Lad ho has not started for some time being made the favorite Braw Lad ran as if nowhere up to a race finishing a dismal sixth The winner turned up in If You Dare who ran back to his good race with Malay and Maggie Davis July 26 and showed the way the entire journey He won easily by two and a half lengths from Fleuron who beat Pupil three and a half for second place Bnllman made a strong effort to close on the Bolich and Sweet gelding in the laet eighth but without avail Seguranea ran a listless race and prob ¬ ably performs best in the mud Educate was right there f jr five and a half furlongs and then ought relief reliefFlying Flying Torpedo scored another race for Pat Dnnne whose horses appear to be in tiptop fettle just now Odnor showed easily in front until just before reaching the stretch entry where Winkfield brought up Flying Torpedo with a whirl Up to this point the son of Ban over appeared to labor in the going and seemed all over to be beaten Coming down the last quarter he and Odnor ran on equal terms for a time but Flying Torpedo gradually drew away in the last sixteenth winning by a short length Tammany Chief under a poor ride was third five lengths away and had all ho could do to beat Baseelas a short length for third money moneyThe The days opener went to Tony Licalzia LicalziaPyrrho Pyrrho which after being outrun for the first firsthalf half mile closed resolutely down through the thelaet laet eighth and picking up the leader Legal LegalMaxim Maxim a hundred yards out caught and passed Mm rather handily winning by a length while whilethe the Dunne youngster beat Amirante five for coed money The lastnamed ran a strikingly V good race getting off utterly last and showing quite a turn of speed down through the final straightaway Lapidus as usual had his speed with him but could only use it about a half mile Blue Bidge ran a fair race and is due for an early bracket Parnassus ran well for five furlongs furlongsThe The track was just a shade too slow for Emma B in the third race or she would have had no trouble in disposing of the field she was pitted against As it was she ran a fair race and was only beaten in the closing strides after showing in front for the entire journey Ural a rank outsider who had been sadly outrun in the early part of the race came like a whirlwind in the last eighth catching her about ton strides from the line apd beating her to it by two lengths Emma B was so tired at the end that she had all she could do to beat Sortie a neck on the post for second money Tho latter is rounding to and should be given notice from now on in this sort of company Wallenstein was made an overwhelming favorite bnt ran a poor race fourth being the best he could do doThe The finale was taken by Prairie Dog which went into the lead after the first quarter had been run and was never afterward headed win ¬ ning easily by two lengths from Prince Blazes which beat Oxnard one for second place Gormley could not handle Ben Chance to ad ¬ vantage allowing his head to drop in the last quarter The horse finished with his mouth vide open Josephine B was right there for seven furlongs Prince Blazes runs beat through a muddy track It had dried out too much to suit him
