...beaten. In the Paumonok Handicap with Zev (most popular American gee-gee since he beat Britain's Papyrus last year) a hot favorite, George D. Widener's St. James covered the six furlongs in 1 min. 11⅔ sec. (the fastest time ever run in the race), winning from Zev by four lengths...

Even so, their brilliant record makes them a favorite over the Crimson...
