M FOR ILLILOUON
Chestnut Gelding Captures
Irvington Handicap.
PAT MORRISSEY -IS KILLED
Gallant Old Horse-.Is, 8hot After the
Sixth Race Talent Plunges and
'Wins. on Step Around and
Capable.
W. D. Randall's Illilouon won the
$1000 Irvington handicap yesterday aft
ornoon. The chestnut gelding: simply
galloped around the rest of the start
ers, and he finished a length and a half
In front of Forest King and a head in
Xront of CoL Anderson, -who many
thought had the race won. The race,
from a close-finish standpoint, was a
disappointment, for the son of Tiger
set his own pace, talcing the lead at the
Etretch, and was never in any trouble
after he passed the grandstand the first
time. Jockey Crosswalte had nothing
to do but sit still on the speedy Illi
louon and win as . he pleased, while
Forest King and CoL Anderson fought
a brilliant battle from tho pad
dock to the wire.
A large crowd saw the running of
the Irvington handicap. The day was"
ideal, and the track was in exception
ally fine shape for the biggest stake
event of the meeting. Starting Judge
Mulholland was in rare form, for each
Held that faced him were on their
good behavior, and not in any of the
seven events were the horses at the '
barrier more than a minute or two. It
was also a pleasing day to those who
journeyed to Irvington, for they left
the racetrack with the dollars jingling j
in their pockets and thoroughly satis- j
fled that they had enjoyed a day of
splendid sport.
Pat Morrlssey's Last Race. !
The only thing which marred the
day's sport was the killing of Pat
Morrissey. This game old breadwinner
was cut down in the sixth race and
had to be killed shot like a mad dog.
The best part of the death of this good
old racehorse is that he met his death
like a gladiator, with his head high in
. the air and his eyes looking straight
into the dying sun of the day. It was
a death that either man or beast might
be justly proud of, and as tho leaden
message of death ended his earthly ca
reer and his racing days, he was gazing
head up and eyes to the "Great Eye of
the Lord" unafraid.
Not half of the 5000 people who saw
Jockey Holbrook pull up Pat Morrissey
just after he rounded the second turn
into the back stretch, knew that James
Ryan's meal ticket had started on the
journey from which no one returns. So
Intent were the spectators on the
horses that were racing in front that
they did not see poor old Morrissey
gimplng along, struggling to go on
, after the onward rushing field. Some,
however, saw the gallant struggle that
the son of Lord Clifton was making
to follow the fleeing horses in front,
and a murmur of pity went up from
those who realized that he had broken
down. Yet they did not realize that all
the tendons of his hind leg had been
severed,- and It was not until Jockey
Holbrook had dismounted that they
knew that the injury to the horse with
the Irish name had been serious. Then
when the coach that is used
by Starting Judge Mulholland drove
to the stand, and after taking
up a veterinarian, it drove post-
haste to the backstretch.
Game Old Horse Shot.
After a careful examination of the
horse the veterinarian saw that there
was no -chance to save the horse's Ufa
and he ordered him shot Tho horse
was suffering the agonies of the untold
and in order to distract his attention
he was offered a drink of water, but
he refused It and then from the pock
et of one of the group was drawn a
shining revolver. Its muzzle was
placed close to Pat Morrlssey's head
and the leaden message of death crash
ed through the "poor animal's brain,
and he died without a struggle. Only
the muffled report reached the crowd
in the grandstand, and half of" them
left without knowledge of the race
track tragedy that ended the racing
days of one of the gamest and most
consistent racehorses that ever looked
through a bridle.
One thing which distracted from the
death of Pat Morrissey was the gentle
men's race, which was won by Milas,
with E. M. O'Brien up. Mr. Lazarus,
riding his own horse, Morengo, was
second, and Mr. MacRae, on Frank
Pearce, was third. When the entries
on this race were posted it was a fore
gone conclusion that Milas. would win.
The one-eyed jumper could have won
if he had been ridden by a park po
liceman, for he was the class of his
field. All that Mr. O'Brien "had to do
was sit still. Morengo and Frank
Pearce had a gallant struggle from
the stretch home, but for Pearce be
ing absolutely left at the post, he
would have beaten Morengo with ease.
Getting off last, Pearce was five lengths
. behind Milas at the first quarter, but
on rounding into the backstretch the
old campaigner began to climb over
those in front, and at the half he hookr
ed up with Morengo. Tho top weight,
175 pounds, and a disposition to take
the overland route at the turns told
on the bird, and rounding Into tho
stretch he was willing to chuck it.
MacRae shook him up and he came on.
Dut ne was stopping badly at the wire,
Two Jockeys Divide Honors.
Jockeys SulJIvan and Crosswalte di
vided the winning honors of the dav.
Little Sullivan won the first two races
and Crosswalte, on Illilouon. won the
Irvington Handicap and the fifth race
on Danzll. Sullivan began the day
wun a win on Algaretta, a 4-to-l shot,
ana Dut tor tne clever ride which Sulll
van gave the mare she would have
been beaten by Amasa, who the talent
thought had It over the Strobel horse.
Amasa was off flying, but he nunc: like
a hungry uncle after the straighten
ing away irom home, and A Powell.
although he tried hard, could not make
him stay in front. Young Pepper had
a host of followers, but he was badly
messea aoout ana Fltzpatrlck gave him
a wretched rlae.
Step Around a Good Thing.
Step Around had it on those -who
started with her in the second race, and
Sullivan put her over for his second vic
tory of the day. He made his move at the
right time, but he drove the St Georce
mare to the limit in order to stall off
the vicious rush that Maxtress made
under the grandstand. Step Around was
touted as the good thing of the day, and
tne cooKies came in for a belting when
the winning numbers were hung up. "These
pencliers also got a bumping In the third
race, which Capable won. Tho name
caught the fancy of the crowd and with
out attempting to look up past perform
ances they bet their money on the name
and 'not the horse. Jockey Tullett brought
him home a winner.
After winning the handicap Jockey
Crosswalte came right back in the fifth
race and won on Denzel. The Deceiver
gelding beat the barrier and won the
race In a gallop. Denzel opened at 5 to
1, .but when the stable tip vemerged from
the underground tho money poured In,
and at post time the bookies were hang
up 7 to 2 and sorry to take the money.
Denzel was off next to last, but the chest
nut gelding had the'-Cspeed, and when
Crosswalte got him going he ran over the
field and finished in a. romp.
Mrs. Henry Stover's St Philippina, that
uncertain daughter pf St Carlo, who,
three times out of five. Is apt to be left
at the post won the sixth race, a mile.
She beat Pastmasterv Goldfinder and the
rest of them "with an ease that was
shameful, and Instead of finishing by four
lengths could have beaten the rest of
the mutts, in the race" by. a furlong had
Smith set her. down.

D. E. Sawyer, of Wheaton, in the 36
hole finals, 6 up, 5 to play. The only

yesterday he had received no official no

yesterday's papers, consequently he was
not running any risk In playing Corbett
"I hardly believe that Chairman Herri
man would take such a step before he
officially notified us of the commission's
action," said President Bert today. "That
i3 not the way to do business. As I
said -yesterday, Corbett will be allowed
to play with San Francisco until we are
instructed' not to play him, and what
we will do then I am not at liberty to
say."
Suspending Joe, Corbett at this time,
when his services were so badly needed
by the local club, created a sensation In
baseball circles. It seemed to be the
sentiment of the fans that this National,
agreement was a bad business and that
the Pacific Coast League would be bet
ter off if it were an independent organ
ization. It is open talk among the league of
ficials that the workings of tho agree
ment are unsatisfactory, and an opportun
ity to null it would be 'welcomed. It the
Nationals force action on the Corbett
case, it Is generally felt that the Coast
League will act arbitrarily and sever its
agreement with the Easterners.
