LITTLE CHIEF BEATEN Sunsini Leads Him All the Way in Jamaicas Feature. Major Belmonts Ladkin Triumphs in Bemsen Handicap for Two-Year-Olds. NEW YORK, N. T., Oct. 13. Not all of the lovers of baseball attended the worlds series today, judging by the big crowd that was out at Jamaica for the running of the program offered by the Metropolitan Jockey Club. It is unfortunate that some of the races were marred by numerous scratches, but there were some good contests and there was plenty of interest in both the mile and a quarter of the Pierrepont Handicap and of the Remsen Handicap, a three-quarters race for two-year-olds. The Lilane Stables Sunsini was the winner of the Pierrepont from Little Chief, the only other starter, while the Remsen Handicap fell to August Belmonts Ladkin. Sunsini and Little Chief were the only starters in the Pierrepont Handicap and in its running it was Sunsini all the way. La-verne Fator had him under restraint as he passed the stand the first time. Little Chief also was under stiff restraint - and going smoothly. This order was unchanged through the backstretch and on the far turn Fator drew away slightlywith Sunsini, but shortly afterward Sande made a move with Little Chief and as he closed up slightly a shout went up from his supporters, but Sunsini had something left and in the stretch he met Little Chiefs challenge valiantly and held on to lead to the end, where he was three parts of a length to the good. LUCKY ANTOINE BEST. N. Loscalzos Lucky Antoine had to be much the best to win the second race, a mile and a sixteenth dash, for he met with no end of interference, and then on the stretch turn was forced to come around the leaders. He was good enough to accept all this handicap and still be an easy winner from "Vida L. Moores Trite, while Potentilla was third. Trite was ridden by W. Anderson, a lad who had his first mount, and he sent the old gelding away at a sprinting clip and held command to the stretch. Lucky Antoine was going well on the inside until leaving the backstretch, where he ran into a bad pocket and was forced to be taken up and go to the outside. When he found clear sailing, Lucky Antoine raced into the lead without any trouble and at the end was easing up. While at the post in this race W. V. Caseys Bravo was badly kicked on the off foreleg by Bessie Leighton. He began when the barrier rose, but was so badly lamed as a result of the kick that Mathews pulled him up on the first turn and dismounted. Maiden two-year-olds of the selling plater variety furnished the entertainment in a five and a half furlongs dash that was the opening race and the winner turned up in the Lilane Stables "Vulnad when he led Edward Arlingtons Parvenu home, with Royal Miss just up in time to take third place from Clarice C. II. Jockey Coltiletti was suspended for the remaining day of the Jamaica meeting for his ride on Nellie Morse in the Remsen Handicap, because he interfered with Braca-dale in the stretch. P. Fitzgerald claimed Lucky Antoine out of the second race for ,700. George A. Bain, well-known auctioneer of thoroughbreds, has severed his connections with the Fasig-Tipton Co., for which he formerly acted. Mr. Bain will continue to sell for other sale firms, and will probably organize a new sales firm, for the sale of both thoroughbreds and trotters, in the near future.
