COLD ROSE IS A
DISAPPOINTMENT
CIGARLMTER EASILY DIS
POSES OF MORRIS CRACK
"Puddin" Mcdaniel Again Carries
of the Riding Honors by Put
ting over Three Straight
Winners
by FOREST LOWRY.

The three-year-ol race at mile in
which Green B. Morris Gold Rose was
soundly beaten by c. e. Miller's Cigar
lighter relieved the monotony OF an
ordinary racing card yesterday after
noon at Ascot. There was slight
change in the racing conditions since
Tuesday night, rain having fallen dur
ing the morning, giving the track a
coating Of mud.
The program was built with a view
OF bringing out stars but the events
did not fill as we'll as the conditions
would indicate.
Although second choice in the betting
Morris Gold Rose was the prize dis
appointment. Cigarlighter was made
favorite at to 10 and there were a few
books in the ring that dared to take
liberties with him at that price. His
last races have been of a high order
and he came in for considerable sup
port. Gold Rose, on the other hand
opening at to went back in the bet
ting and closed at IL to 8. She was
played steadily by those who were in
clined to believe that her last essay
was a mistake and that with that work
in her she would go better yesterday.
Easy for cigarlighter
Salable, backed from to 1 to 4 to 1,
got off in front and with Tim Hurst at
his heels set the early pace. Gold Rose
away full in her stride lay in a good
position till the stretch was reached.
The boy made his move at the right
time and soon had the balance raced
into submission. Mcdaniel on Cigar
lighter trailed his field to the quarter
pole. He moved up rapidly, saved
ground by shining the rail and in the
run for home made runaway race
of it. Gold Rose stopped as though she
were shot and had all she could do to
stall off Invader for the place.
"Puddin" Mcdaniel again occupied
the limelight position by putting over
three straight winners. In the first
race he had the mount on J. X. Fray
lng's Daisy Brouck. Mcdaniel got
his charge away none too well, but she
was ready and went to the front like
a shot out of a gun. She raced Search
Me off his feet and then had things all
her own way in the run for home.
Search Me died away gradually and
lost the place to the fast coming La
Chata. The latter was bet on heavily
or IN IN Daicy Rro,IoLr ooupIe6
in the betting with Annis and they
were always favorites.
Another for Rubiana
Rubiana came right back and put
the three-year- selling affair second
on the card. She was held at to l.
Frank Regan's Merces was second and
Sportsman third. McJetta at to 1 to
show was badly interfered with
through the stretch by Sportsman,
which spoiled her chances of getting in
the money. The boy claimed a foul
but the judges overruled him.
G. w. Baldwin's Americana, whose
last race was anything but a good one,
opened in the betting at Is to 1 yester-
day, and after being bet on turned up
an easy winner. Theevent wasfor four
year-olds and upward and the field of
six which faced the barrier were asked
TO go over the Slauson course E. M.
Brattain was made fayorite at to S,
at which price he went to the post.
Tim Payne was held at 9 to q Counter
poise at 5, Glennevis at 10 and Bor-
ghesi at 5.
Americana Wins
Americana got away flying with
Brattain, whom he soon had at his
mercy. He saved ground swinging in
to the stretch and then le1r his field as
though they were tied to the fence.
Brattain tired badly on the end and
had all he could do to stau off Bor-
ghesi. Tim Payne ran a sluggish
race and was never prominent.
Briarthorpe running for the first time
in the colors Of Il. Crysler outgamed
Sheriff Bell in fierce drive through
the stretch and got the verdict by a
short head. McGrathiana Prince was
held at. the short price of II to TO- al
though he has never shown an inclina-
tion to beat this kind in wet going. He
ran well the first part but when the
real racing began finished in the ruck.
My Gem was third.
The Bugaboo, always favorIte at to
1 and to 5, won the closing event
from Bronze Wing and Komombo.
Bugaboo was always within striking
distance and when ready came on and
disposed of Bronze Wing, who in turn
held Komombo safe. The latter was
backed from 10 to to l.
