WESTERN OWNERS IN EAST. Prominent among the westerners whose colors will be seen in the east this year are J. W. Schorr, M. H. Tichenor, H. M. Ziegler, H. B. Durham, E. J. Baldwin, C. T. Boots, Burns and Waterhouse, F. Cook, W. C. deB. Lopez, Dr. H. E. Rowell and Barney Schrei-ber. These, with a few others, are what may be called the "stake horse division." A large number of small owners, with material for the selling plate division, will swell the list to an abnormal size. This is leaving out such establishments as those of S. S. Brown, Julius Fleischmann, W. B. Jennings, R. A. Smith, and others, who have come to be recognized as identified with the eastern turf. To be sure, J. W. Schorr raced there last season, but his eastern string was not nearly so large and formidable as it will be this year. Schorr will make a big bid for eastern honors this year. He has a string or horses large enough almost alone to supply material for a small meeting, and by the liberal manner in which he has made nominations to the stake events of the various meetings, it must be that he has some crackerjacks among them. He is represented in all the big handicaps, the Carter, Excelsior, Metropolitan, Brooklyn, Suburban, Brighton and Saratoga, with Spencer Reif, Rightful, Janeway, Bob McLean, or some other of his handicap division, and his colors will probably be a fac-, tor in the decision of more than one of them. He will begin his eastern campaign at Aqueduct this year, and go right down the line. Eastern owners realize that they will have to beat some of the "running" horses that will carry the Memphis turfmans colors if they wish to save some of the money for themselves. The Chicago combination of M. H. Tichenor and Co. is virtually new to the eastern turf. They raced a few horses at Saratoga two years ago, but they have never been represented on the metropolitan tracks. This year they evidently intend to get right in the game, and, beginning at Morris Park, will race a great deal in the east.
