STAR CHARTERS STAKES SCHORR THREE-YEAR-OLD WINS ENDURANCE HANDICAP AT LATONIA. Kentucky Racing Season of 1911 Auspiciously Comes to Close Azyiade Changes Hands and Win3 for H, C. Kallenbock. Cincinnati, O., November 11. The Kentucky rac-" ing season of 1911 terminated with the running oC-tlie closing race at Latonia this afternoon. Getaway day brought out the biggest crowd that has witnessed the racing here this fail, and this in spite ot unfavorable weather, witli a downpour threatening. One of the best offerings in a racing way in, a long time was provided by Secretary Maglnn for the occasion. The Latonia Endurance Stakes at two miles, carrying with it a not value of S2.2S0, waa the stellar attraction, but the handicaps that pro-ceded and followed it also came in for a goodly amount of interest. Betting throughout tho day was of record proportions. John W. Schorrs Star Charter, coupled with John Rcardon, the latter an eleventh-hour added starter,, scored in the feature raee over Governor Gray In decisive fashion, John Rcardon taking third money., The winner, admirably handled, remained elose to the leaders from the start under restraint, and stolo. iuto a good lead just before tho final quarter was begun. He easily held Governor Gray safe during, the stretch drive. Governor Gray ran in close proximity to the early pacemakers, but just when it was expected he would draw away, he had to bo hard ridden to outstay John Rcardon. Azo was close up at the finish, but Cherryola and High Private tired badly after going a mile and a quarter. Prior to this they had alternated in the lead. Stone Streot was a hopeless trailer from the start and was pulled up in the last half mile. Meridian shouldered 120 pounds in the mile and one-sixteenth handicap and scored Impressively over good opposition with Leamence In second place and Tom Bigbee third. There was some dissent from the judges action in placing Leamence and Tom Bigbee in advance of -Edda. Tho consistent Azyiade, which has scored a remarkable succession of victories this fall, again made good in fine style- when she beat Froglegs and Kaiser iu the six furlongs handicap. She ran in the interest of H. C. Hallenbeck, who acquired her this morning, together with Sir Deurah, on privatcterms from Lon Jones. The consideration for the pair is said to have been S5.000. The closing race was run in darkness and it was difficult to distinguish the colors of the horses during some periods of the running. Mockler, which has shown himself to be a sturdily constituted racer, made good by the narrowest kind of margin over G. M. Miller, with Effendi third, and John Furlong, the favorite, a distant trailer. Three Links enabled T. P Hayes to take a purse when ho beat a good band of youngsters in the opening dash, Winning Widow showed her best form and outstayed some good sprinters that started in the second race. Tho judges yesterday mado a ruling in the Joe Deibold case, awarding the horse to L. V. Bellow. The latter claimed the horse out of a selling race on Thursday last, but the owner, G. H. Whitney, lodged objection to tho claim on the ground of imperfect registration. The horse Bill Todd is joiutlv owned by C. A. Thornton and L. V. Bellew and was run iu the name of the former. Rule 143 states that hors.os may be claimed by the owners of other horses in the race and upon the affidavit of Mr. Bellew that lie owned a half Interest in Bill Todd, the judges decided that his claim was valid. Mr. Whitney lias appealed from this decision to tho Kentucky State Racing Commission on the ground that 0. A. Thorntons name does not appear on the registration slip in the secretarys oflico. Secretary Jasper of the Juarez course, who has been here in the interest of his track, will leave on Monday for El Paso to take up his duties preliminary to the opening of the Juarez meeting.
