For the week-end feature of the Westchester Racing Association at Belmont Park Saturday afternoon, three-year-old fillies are in the spotlight with the running of the Coaching Club American Oaks. This is a gallop of a mile and three furlongs and with the ,500 added, it will have a gross value of approximately 0,000, with the fourteen that have been named to wear silks. Of these, Edward R. Bradley is represented with no fewer than three, Black Helen, Bloodroot and Bird Flower. Colonel Bradley had both Black Helen and Blood-root moved over from Washington Park in Chicago for the engagement and he is so confident of victory he had predicted that his silks will be first, second and third. William Woodward will have both Vic-aress and Palma, W. R. Coe has Clean Out and Squeeze and Walter M. Jeffords has a good pair in Judy OGrady and Guiding Star. Alfred Gwynne Vandcrbilt has Good Gamble. The others in the big field arc: Willis Sharpe Kilmers Alberta, Marshall Fields Mock Turtle, the Howe Stables
