FOUR OUTSIDERS
WIN At ASCOT
FAV0RITES HAVE A BAD DAY IN
THE BETTING RING
Ordinary Card Draws Out an Unusu-
ally Large Monday Crowd and
Speculation Is Fairly
Lively
BY FOREST LOWRY.

There was little out of the ordinary
routine in the events at the track
yesterday save the fact that players of
favorites were pretty badly messed
about. Long shots were very much I'm
evidence and as a result the books had
somewhat the better of the argument
Fourteen knights of the chalk cut in
for the next three days and the betting
market appeared to average fairly in
point of activity.
WeII-Balaneed Fields
The track was fast and the weather
ideal. and except that the card was
scarcely up to the average in point OF
quality, the conditions were altogether
most part fairly large and we'll bal
anced. The attendance, for a Monday,
was good.
The afternoons sport opened with a
mile and a sixteenth selling race for
4-year-olds and upward. There were
thirteen starters and Pruewood, with
Moriarity in the saddle, closed favorite
at to 1. Jingler and Flora Bright
were made second choices at to /
each. Evernore was first away in a
good start and she raced away from
her field for four furiongs and was a
length to the good at the half pole,
with Jingler second and a half length
in front of Rose of Hilo. Jingler
moved up at the three-eighths pole and
disposed of Evermore before the real
all the way and on the end had enough
left to keep Pruewood from getting the
place. Headstrong was not given an
over brilliant ride and finished fourth.
Ralph Young Beaten
Ralph Young was a strong favorite
for the one mile purse race. second on
the card. He opened at to 5 and was
always around that price. Borghesi
was second choice and went to the post
at to 2 Panique was the medium
just as the bugle called the field to the
barrier and his price was hammered
down from to / to 16 to 5. Orchan,
held at to /, scored an easy victory
by overhauling Leonado, the pacemak-
er, entering the back stretch. He
gradually pulled away from the rest
of the bunch and won as the rider
pleased. Ralph Young, after showing
signs of quitting. came on again in the
stretch and just at the wire snatched
the place from Borghesi. Panique made
bid for it on the far turn, but stopped
to nothing when the run for home
began.
Lord cf the Heath Wins
Lord of the Heath was the best liked
OF the field of eight 9-year-olds which
faced the barrier in the third race. 1t
was a purse affair over six furlongs of
ground. Lord of the Heath opened at
to and was backed down to to TO-
He appeared to be badly outrun the
first part and for a brief spell it looked
like the defeat of the third straight
favorite. ]. Kelly saved ground by
skinning the rail and in the last few
strides downed Smithy Kane, who was
as high as Is to l at one time in the
betting. Smithy Kane opened at to
l, receded to 10 to 1 and then closed
at to 1. This trick showed bril-
liant turn of speed and only tired right
on the end. Forerunner seemed to back
up for an instant opposite the paddock,
but when the whip was applied he
came on with rush and easily held
Bailey safe for third money. Linda
Rose, second choice in the betting, was
never in the hunt and finished a bad
last.
Mart Gentry at Twelve to One
F. II. Woods Mart Gentry, whose
best price was 12 to 1, won the six and
a half furlongs selling race, fourth on
the card, after a rough journey. He
came on the outside of the others en-
tering the stretch and ran over his
held. Kingthorpe in a long sustained
stretch drive and in on the rail Just

The latter was as good as to / place
Frank Perley, held at 6 TO 1, reached
the wire a head in front of El Chihua-
hua for the show.
the six which started in the mile and
a sixteenth race, although the bettors
preferred Potrero Grande, whom they
made favorite at to 5. Bronze Wings
best price was to /, while his post
price was only 5 to 2. He took the
lead Immediately after the start and
never left the result i'm doubt, winning
as he pleased. Potrero Grande was un-
der punishment all through the stretch
and was stopping to nothing at the
wire, but was there with enough to
land the place by a scant head from

the rail and could not get through
