ADLERS OPINION !f0F PHLL FINCH. Jack Adler, the announcer, is back in New York after two months at New Orleans. When someone asked him a day or two ago If Captain Jim Williams was entertaining a serious notion that Phil Finch will be able to whip Sysonby in handicaps next his Goldfinch Phillstia gelding, but in my opinion Phil Finch is simply a good selling plater. He carries big weight and wins at New Orleans because there is nothing in the mature division of any account. He is really no better horse than Orly and everyone hereabouts knows that Orly is only a plater. Phil Finch cannot, you may have noticed, beat any of the best three-year-olds at the Fair Grounds unless the younger horses get all the worst of the weights. Captain Williams will find out soon after his arrival here, that Plill Finch; belongs in overnight races. Alex. Shields has a . horse by Ormonde, Phil Finchs, daddys sire, whowlll eat the Williams horse whole When he tackles him. Ormondes Right is the horse I mean. I do not believe that there is a racer at New Orleans within fifteen pounds of Ormondes Right."
