YOUNG HORSES HOLDING THEIR OWN. King James, Brilliant Four-Year-Old, Menacing Factor in This Years Racing, However. As in more prosperous times, the great prizes or the American turr are tills year falling to the younger racers, For years the leading two-year-old winner and the leading three-year-old winner have been able to distance the most fortunate representative of the older division of racers. So far this" year Jim- Madden, a three-year-old. holds the plaeeof honor among American racers, but his lead Is not so pronounced that it may not be wrested from him ere the year ends. Ior the first time since l!Mi:s, a four-year-old has succeeded in splitting the two younger divisions in earnings. The horse that has achieved this distinction is King James, a racer of unusual quality. The fact that there is no two-year-old of outstanding brilliancy in training has made it easier for King James to accomplish his feat than would have been the case had there been a Colin, a Sir Martin, an Artful or a Hamburg Belle 1o compete with. Up to date the records or the most successful horses of various ages this year are: Jour-voar-olils and over. King James. ...... .5,185 Three-year-olds.
