a TICKORY TOCKS REVENGE Turns Tables on Recent Conqueror, Fancy Flight, at Aqueduct. Beldame Handicap Worth ,425 to the Winner "Hank" Mills Astride Two Consecutive Winners. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 26. A. C. Schwartz Tickory Tock was a handy winner of the Beldame Handicap at Aqueduct today with its net value of ,425 to the winner. She led home J. H. Louchheims Fancy Flight, while Iseult, from the Wheatley Stable, raced into third place before Notebook, a stablemate. It was unfortunate that Mills, who rode Notebook, lost a stirrup in the running and that may have had some effect on the result. In a previous meeting between Tickory Tock and Fancy Flight, the Louchheim filly beat the daughter of On Watch but was guilty of roughing the Schwartz filly. A claim of foul was not allowed, but on this occasion there was no fouling, and Tickory Tock turned the tables on the daughter of Infinite, which had no excuse in the running. Hank Mills began the day well when he rode two winners in a row, and it was surely a bit of harsh luck that his tack should break on his most important mount of the afternoon. He was unable to pull Notebook up after the race, and the filly was caught by the lead pony in the back stretch. There was a drop in the temperature, but conditions were ideal for the small crowd that was out for the day. The track was at its best. Fancy Flight was first to show out of the stalls in the Beldame, and Horn crossed from the outside with her without interfering with any of the others, but Tickory Tock had left from an inside position and went right along with the Louchheim filly. The pair of them draw away to a good lead over the others, and Notebook, after leaving in third place, quickly dropped back by reason of the accident that came to Mills. It was Iseult that moved into third place, and she held that position throughout but was unable to catch either Fancy Flight or the winner. At the end Fancy Flight tired badly, and Tickory Tock was going away the winner by a length and a half. Iseult was another two lengths back and just a neck before Notebook. Back of these came Pooks Hill and Continued on twenty-second page TICK0RY TOCKS REVENGE Continued from first page. Chance It, which had been outrun all the way. Maiden fillies and mares of all ages went a mile in the second race and it gave Hank Mills his second winning mount of the day when Bay Agnes was an easy winner under the silks of William Woodward. Dont Blush was a distant second, but well before Teta, and then came Margie W. There was little to this running for Bay Agnes, showing better form than ever before, jumped into an early lead and simply romped in front of the field to win by six lengths and well in hand. Dont Blush was second at all stages and she readily held Teta safe, though on a recent performance the Byers filly appeared to be best of the company. The race really was a procession and Dont Blush had beaten Teta five lengths for the place, while the Byers filly was four lengths before Margie W., which came into third place when the stretch was reached. A straggling start in the seven furlongs of the tliird race had considerable to do with its result when Marshall Fields Villon was just up in the closing strides to win over W. G. Andersons Fredrick and Mrs. W. T. Andersons Cabezo saved third from Up and Renaissance, which followed closely lapped. Fredrick was sent away running and Villon was another that was fortunate at the break, while Rubio wt.3 away so slowly as to have no chance and Cabezo also broke slowly. Renaissance broke with the first three, but he was also at once shuffled back and was never able to regain the lost ground. His good fortune at the break saw Fredrick still showing the way as he rounded into the stretch and a furlong from the finish he was clear of Villon, which was racing in second place. Then under a vigorous drive the son of Stimulus gradually wore him down until at the line he was the winner by a head. Frodrick, though tiring badly, was a length before Cabezo, which had circled around to close ground in the stretch and he was a length and a half be- fore Up and Renaissance, which were racing closely locked at the? end.
