SULTANA GOES TO WHITE TIE Manhasset Stable Colt Wins Handicap in Impressive Manner. Sunphantom Takes Second From Stylistic Track Softened by Wednesdays Rain Good -Crowd Attends. BELMONT PARK, L. I, N. Y., Oct 1. Lady owners were honored at Belmont Park today when the special of the afternoon, the Sultana Handicap, was the feature. It was a six furlongs dash for juveniles owned by sportswomen and it went to White Tie, a son of High Time Highland Dell, which carried the silks of the Manhasset Stable of Mrs. Charles Payson Shipman and Mrs. Charles Laughlin. Mrs. Charles S. Bromleys Sunphantom took the place, and well back of these Mrs. C. Oliver Iselins Stylistic beat Mrs. Dodge Sloanes Top Radio for third. There were only four starters. The rain of Wednesday left the going a bit off, but the footing was rated as good, though the steeplechase field was rather deep from the drenching it had received. The calling off of the world series game brought some additions to the attendance, and a big crowd was out. Rain threatened as the afternoon progressed, but it was altogether an enjoyable day of sport. Little time was lost at the post in the Sultana, and the four engaged left in good alignment. White Tie at once went into command and was closely attended by Stylistic on the outside. Sunphantom and Top Radio were right there, and there was little to choose among the four in the first half mile. HOLDS ON GAMELY. Going to the final quarter Sunphantom moved up steadily and for an instant threatened to run over White Tie, but Gilbert had saved something for that challenge, and when he shook up the High Time colt he held to his lead. Right at the end White Tie was under a drive, to be winner by a length. The delayed challenge of Sunphantom carried the leading pair out four lengths before Stylistic, which outgamed Top Radio to take third money by a half length. Frank E. Browns Star Shadow came back with a good race in the mile and a sixteenth of the Lothario Handicap to readily lead home Mrs. Val Cranes Royal Fox, with James Butlers Caught taking third from J. B. Partridges Sunanair, which was the Continued on thiry-fourth page. SULTANA GOES TO WHITE TIE Continued from first page. choice of the small field. The only other starter was Balios. The maiden juveniles In the opening six furlongs through the Widener course, furnished a real thrill when Mrs. W. T. Andersons Carlovinian and Joseph E. Wideners Scrooge finished so closely locked that a photograph was called for to make the decision. Well back of the battling pair third went to Mrs. W. H. Fursts Wise Alibi, which, in turn, led Seventh Inning by a half length. The photograph declared Carlovinian the winner though in another nod the decision would have gone to the Widener colt. Carlovinian broke well from the outside stall and dominated all the running but Scrooge was in the front division and racing along smoothly within striking distance when the final furlong was reached. There, under pressure, he closed gamely, while the son of Grand Ace hung slightly but Scrooge could not quite make it. Wise Alibi was going well at the end and Seventh Inning, after being well up in the early racing, weakened slightly. ANOTHER FOR JACOBS. Hirsch Jacobs added another winner to his remarkable string when Mrs. E. Jacobs Amagansett was winner of the short course steeplechase. There were only three starters and Mrs. Gwladys Whitneys Rideaway, with the amateur rider Rigan McKinney in the saddle, took second place at the heels of the old son of Embargo, and Blackcock was many lengths out of it. Early in the action it was evident that Blackcock was to cut no figure. The other two went on to give an excellent exhibition. The field was deep from the recent rain and both horses tired some in the footing. Then at the lower end of the field, when Amagansett hesitated slightly, Rideaway drew up on him, but the Jacobs fencer was soon back in stride to again open up a lead.
