WIDENER COLORS IN FRONT Continued from first page. This order was maintained until the stretch was reached. There War had San-sarica beaten, but the son of Sansovino had hung on so long that he took considerable out of the Sagamore colt and then it was that Scout Master finished with a rush. He soon had War headed and beaten, but the same time War Hero was gaining on the outside. In the final drive it was a two-horse race, as Scout Master and War Hero drew away from War. They fought it out to the final stride, where War Hero dropped his head down in front to earn the decision. This final duel had taken the pair of them out five lengths before War, which tired badly and evidently had not entirely recovered from his hard race in the Brookdale Handicap Saturday. War was fourth lengths before Jimmy Sutro, which ran past Sansarica in the final furlong.
