S HOW HIGH IS DISQUALIFIED Jockey Horn Is Guilty of Serious Stretch Foul Suspended. Garden Message Awarded Purse in Oakdale Claiming Handicap at Aqueduct Owner Is Pilot. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept: 28. George H. Bostwick, riding his own juvenile, Garden Message, was awarded the Oakdale Claiming Handicap by the stewards at Aqueduct today when Mrs. T. J. Lewis How High, which beat the son of Messenger over the line, was set back for fouling. By this ruling William Woodwards Bolilee was moved into second place, and third was awarded Miney Myerson, last of the four that performed. Horn, who rode How High, was guilty of rather a serious stretch foul when, just as the son of High Time headed Garden Message and Miney Myerson in the stretch, he crossed rather sharply to the rail, and the other two riders were forced to take up. Mr. Bostwick came to the outside of How High to take second place, but Miney Myerson was beaten by Bolilee, -which went to the outside and was clear of all the interference. After a forenoon of showers and threatening skies, there came clear weather for the sport, but the lure of the first game of the World Series cut into the attendance seriously, and it was a small crowd that turned out. The start was a good one, and Mr. Bostwick had Garden Message off in front from his rail position. The other three were close after him, but he had speed enough to hold his position and hung to the rail all the way until forced to pull off by reason of the rough riding of Horn in the stretch. In the early stages it was Bolilee that was in second place, with Miney Myerson- and How High following, but all were in such close order that positions meant little except that How High, being on the outside, was at a slight disadvantage. Garden Message was going along under slight restraint as he turned into the stretch in command, and there Horn had moved up with How High until he was just showing the way to Miney Myerson, as Bolilee had dropped back somewhat. Continued on thirteenth page. iHOW HIGH IS DISQUALIFIED Continued from first page. Well into the last furlong Garden Message continued to show the way, but as Horn roused How High, the son of High Time forged to the front. Then it was that Horn made the mistake that cost him the race. He took the gelding over sharply to the inside, and both Miney Myerson and Garden Message were cut off. Mr. Bostwick pulled his mount around the heels of How High to finish second, only beaten a length and a quarter, but Miney Myerson had third to Bolilee, which finished with a rush on the outside. Then came the ruling that awarded the race to Garden Message. And with the running Horn was suspended for the remainder of the meeting for his rough riding. The prize had a net value of ,425 to the winner. When Rip Van Winkle earned a close decision over John McCambridges War Plane in the third race, second best number of an ordinary card, it completed a double for W. L. Johnson and for jockey L. Hardy. This combination had won the opening race of the day with Jean Brown. Only four raced in this mile affair, after both Sun Mission and Gold Prize had been withdrawn and it was generally agreed that John J. Robinsons Glidelia was best, but she was last of the four when Moine, from the Montalvo Stud Farm Stable, beat her for the third money. It was a good start and Reynolds at once went out to show the way with Glidelia. The filly was rated along on the rail and was under restraint as she showed the way. The others raced along closely back of her with first one and then the other showing in second place. " Ss13BI Until inside the furlong pole Glidelia was still in .command and Reynolds was sitting still, though each of the others were under a drive. Then as the final sixteenth was reached the filly weakened badly and Reynolds went to a drive, but it was of no avail and both Rip Van Winkle and War Plane were by to fight it out, with the Johnson colt the winner by the last nod. And Glidelia was stopping so badly that Moine beat her a neck forthird, as he finished at the heels of the first two. Two old timers hooked up in a riding duel in the fifth race, and Frank Coltiletti landed Wm. Gallaghers Moralist the winner over J. P. Whites Calchas, ridden by Earl Sande. Well back of these, Frederick Griffiths Flag View was third, and he had something of a veteran in the saddle in Eddie Barnes. Eight cheap ones raced in the final race at one mile and a sixteenth. This went to Sun Teatime, which raced Mareve into defeat and had enough left to withstand a challenge from Robrack in the final furlong. Third went to Cock Robin, which closed some ground.
