Turf

The owners of Zev and My Own (H. F. Sinclair and Admiral Cary T. Grayson, respectively) indulged in a polite deadlock as to which of their colts deserved to run a mile and a half against Papyrus, pride of England, on Oct. 20 in the International Stakes at Belmont Park, L. I. Comment rippled over from England at the delay. Did the Americans think Ben Irish might pit his Papyrus against both colts ? With a match race agreed on? With $100,000 at stake?

The Jockey Club cast the palm to Zev, asking My Own to stand ready in his stall lest a substitute be needed.

Mutterings of discontent stirred over the scale of prices for the race. The word " commercialized" was used. The enclosure privilege can be had in exchange for $22; the lowest admission ticket is $1.50. Cynics estimate that the Jockey Club will make $200,000.
