"* gol Cc a There now appears to be an excellent chance that the American Derby, to be decided at Washington Park, the Chicago racing ground, June 20, will be more and more of a return engagement of the heroes ol £ entucky Derby and the Preakness. th, the Should James Rowe decide to invade the nil Homewood course with the Greentree Sta- wa was bles Twenty Grand, it will be a return match of the three colts that were first =a second and third in both the early May »• r— classics. A. C. Bostwicks Mate, which took ♦ measure of Twenty Grand in the Preak- f I ness, is named as a sure starter at the I Homewood course, and Walter J. Salmon J ♦ assured that he will start his Ladder ♦ j which finished third at Pimlico. ♦ j Twenty Grand turned the tables on Mate ! decisively when he was winner of the Ken- 1 J tucky Derby, with Sweep All finishing sec- ♦ and the Bostwick colt third. Sweep All j , surely .start in the American Derby, j that this three-cornered return match ! j J hinges on the appearance of Twentv ♦ J I Grand. j Naturally, Rowe will make no positive j j decision for the son of St. Germans and | j Bonus until after the running of the Bel- j I Stakes next Saturday. In that gruell- I j mile and a half gallop he will meet j George D. Wideners Jamestown for the J J I time, and his trip to Chicago depends i just how he comes out of that race. There j j time enough between the two races, a ! to make possible the keeping of both I I engagemnts comfortably, and it is hoped he i j be sent West, | . lt M
