, . . Paper Tiger Charges to Mild Upset Accounting at Belmont Second Success on Card for Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs Barn; B ushers Queen Wins Debut By BOB HORWOOD Staff Correspondent BELMONT PARK, Elmont, L. I., N. Y. May 13. Alertly ridden by apprentice James Cangemie, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs Paper Tiger charged to a mild upset in the featured Discount Purse today. The three-year-old son of Stymie took command in the upper stretch and stood a long drive to reach the end of the mile and a furlong a length and a quarter before Ogden Phipps Privacy, who led his stablemate, Wheatley Stables Full Flight, by a half length. J. Harry Miles John B. P. was almost two lengths out of the money. Paper Tiger returned 0.70 to his followers in the crowd of 19,308 and was clocked a respectable 1:50 for the nine furlongs on a fast track. He completed a double for trainer Hirsch Jacobs and Mrs. Jacobs, who won the third race with Sentiment, another three-year-old son of Stymie. Paper Tiger was bred by the Bieber-Jacobs stable, while Sentiment was purchased from Mrs. Dodge Sloane. Incidentally, the JJiscount winner was given his name by Isidore Bieber, who reminds that a paper tiger is one of those ferocious phonies popular in oriental parades and says that the colts name literally means "phony." Questioned further, Bieber reveals that the colt was named for whosoever happens to be in his political disfavor at the moment. Strand Sets Early Pace Strand set the early pace in the Discount, closely followed by Privacy and John B. P., while Full Flight was daylight away in the run down the backstretch. Paper Tiger, Limelight and Gaidar, who was unable to keep up with the moderate pace, completed the field. The race became momentarily confused nearing the three-furlong pole, when Jack Westrope suddenly shot Limelight up along the rail moving from sixth place to the lead in a sixteenth. That brisk challenge was all Limelight had to offer, however, and Privacy regained command at the quarter pole, but was promptly challenged by Paper Tiger, while Full Flight moved up strongly on the outside. Paper Tiger responded courageously to Cangemies urging and. gradually drew away from Privacy, while Full Flight, who looked, a probable winner at the furlong pole, hung in the final yards. John B. P. ran an even race, while Limelight finished a distant fifth, followed by Strand, who stopped after a half mile, and Gaidar, who never got started. The latter had finished second to Fisherman in the Gotham Stakes last out, but evidently was not sidelined without good and sufficient reason. Mrs. Elizabeth N. Grahams M a i n e Chance Farm unveiled another brilliant juvenile filly in the fourth race in the person of Bushers Queen, a powerful bay daughter of Mr. Busher from Easton Queen, by Easton.
