Big Horse Beat Starters Flag and
Never Lost His Initial
Advantage.
ETRYLENE RAN GREAT RACE,
Of in a Tangle and Out Of Her
Stride, She Ran Past Every
Horse in Field Save Hilee-
Pickles Was Badly Ridden.

Hiiee caught Starter Dade mapping. man
aged TO steal three lengths at the fail O.
the starting flag and won the sprint handi
cap at Delmar yesterday from Ethylene and
hummer.
Hilee broke free and cleanJy on the IN
side. The other pair. Ed l.. and Van Hoor
beke, broke in a Jam In the track center
hummer was well away. Ethyiene was a.
out of kilter and of her stride. Hiles
breezed along three lengths to the good ant
never lost his initial advantage.
GUNNER was second for a long way. while
Ethyleno was absolutely last to the last
three-eighths. Here she got going anc
closed fast. She passed the entire field
but Hilee and was second turning fol
home. She came fast, but Hilee had toe
big an advantage a. held IL TO the end
Ethylene proved her superiority to Bum
mer If not to Hilee. She would probably
have won had she gotten well away al the
start Ed l. had speed for a half mile
then stopped as II short.
Though their last race together at Kin
loch showed that Ethylene could beat Bum
mer. he was backed from s to 5 20 even
money, while she went I'D from S TO 5 to
IL to 5. While he did beat her at Kinloch,
she was eased up all through the last
eighth Of a mile and should have beaten
him easily.
This was the only bad start of the day.

by Booker. He was held at 1 to l. Satchel.
a poor Splinter. being fsvorite at 3 10 l.
though she was giving Barklyits fifteen
pounds Doctor Scharh showed speed, but
tired at the end.
DEAN GAVE PICKLES A BAD RIDE.
The second race was a funny one. Two
Lick was backed heavily, while Pickles, the
rational favorite, receded to 6 to !. VOL
fran also went up in the betting. Two
Lick broke in front. Pickles went with her.

Two Lick. had not her usual speed. Dean
took Pickles up and back into an Ugly jam
TO the stretch. Two Lick shut her OF when
she attempted TO cut through on the rail,
threw her out Of her stride and the race.
Two Lick. who had her usual speed, Dean
was apparently fun of run. Dean gave her
a whitewater ride, helped her not a bit. was
all over hef' yet eniy got her beaten a
last loo yards. Pickles was about fourteen
pounds the best, ana should have won by
half a dozen lengths.
Wolfram suiked in the early part OF the
race, but closed up well. Mudlavia WAS
going. well when Miller. on Two Lick.
The fifth race saw Ida Ledford an even
money shot. With Bridwell on Nettie Re
gent Ida looked very good. and the players
wise play on Nettie Regent and The Mes
senger sent them back hedging out on Lea
Mr. Fer stood BY. looked wise and said
nothing while the motley crew which al
ways makes life miserable for him N the
paddock got down on his mare.
A good many of them will not bother Mr..
FiZer for any more. He said
that he thought he would win. He has
another think coming, but Mr.. Fizer's
thinks are his own. not public property.
The public has no right to his Information.
We'll, Nettie Regent and The Messenger ran
for the downs Thu Messenger had Bat
tiste, a good boy. up. and being well away
and well ridden never was in doubt.
NETTIB REGENT IN TANGLE.

times while the brute is striding once. He
got Nettie Regent tangled up at the start.
cut of on the first turn. and also on the
second turn, lost twenty lengths and never
got her going until she struck the stretch.
Here she came fast, but too late to win.
She was an easy second. with Flop third.
Ida Ledford is running yet. Just where
she finished no one seemed TO know. Just
think of Flop beating Ida over a mile and
seventy yards of ground. same way
weighted.
Bacchus. who looked best in the last
race, won it from Taby Tosa. Bacchus was
8 to ?. while a heavy play on Taby forced
his price down from twos to evens. Sayers
gave Bacchus a nice ride, while Fauntieroy
got Taby cut off and thrown off his stride,
made his move too soon, cross-hammered
him and generally used him up Bacchus
stood an early drive and then won as he
pleased.
The day was fine. the crowd large and
the track not any too fast.
