WILLIAMS ENTRY
IS IL IN STAKE
ALENC0N WINS MOUNT LOWE
HANDICAP
Fireball, Vietor's Stable Companion,
Finishes Second-Judge Denton,
Added Starter, Gets Third
Money
BY Jay Davidson

S. NJ. williams hard luck continues
to pursue him as vehemently as 1t has
since the opening day, and he could
only get first and second money in the
Mount Lowe handicap, the feature
event at Ascot yesterday.
Trainer Dick Williams was incon-
solable after the race because he over
looked making the Williams entry
comprise three horses instead of two,
so that the stable could have won the
entire stake offering.
However, Alencon, which was
coupled with Fireball as the Williams
entry, poked his nose the farthest
out at the wire and earned the de-
cision, the long end of the purse and
the handsome wreath of Redondo car
nations, which was emblamatic of the
sentimental side of the stake
Fireball was the second horse under
the wire and five lengths behind came
Judge Denton, an added starter.
Immediately after the barrier was
sprung Fireball stuck his nose in front
and kept it there until the final six
teenth, when his stable companion,
Alencon, under a vigorous ride by
Miller, stuck his head i'll front and
finished by that narrow margin ahead
of Fireball.
williams had the stake won from the
first eighth out, and his entry ran 1-2
from the flag to the wire. Although
it mattered not which won. Alencon
and Flreball raced their heads off and
strived to their utmost, just the same
as if they belonged to the bitterest of
foes.
Nine starters composed the field and
Jake Sanders was made the favorite
in the first betting, Henry Mcdaniel
believing his Knight of the Thistle
colt was good enough to win without
the aid of Rubric, which was with
drawn.
At post time the Williams entry ruled
favorite, owing to an incessant play. of
wise money and pikers' coin, being
backed from IS to 8 to 5.
Judge Denton from the Bonsack
stable and Water Wagon from the
string of Early Wright were made
added starters, and long prices We're
j. posted against their chances, Judge
Denton being held at sos and Water
Wagon was quoted at 100.
The gross value of the stake was
s219O, and the Williams stable gets the
winners share, $3.50, second money,
$3.50. and Louie Bonsack gets third
money, $3.50.
Walsh Set Down
Jake Sanders was off second in this
event, but was cut off and pulled up
to last at the half. After the race
Jockey Buchanan complained to the
judges that Jockey lI. Walsh on Fire
ball had jammed Jake Sanders and
forced Buchanan to pull up, destroy
ing his chances of winning.
Judges Hamilton and Cole considered
the statements of the boys, and decided
to make an example of Walsh as a
warning to other riders against rough
ing tactics, and ordered Walsh to take
a vacation for two weeks.
In explanation of the order Judge
Hamilton said that there had been
q
by boys at Ascot this season, and he
proposed to put an end to it, and to
guarantee to owners and the public
that every horse should have a fair
chance to win, and repeated roughing
tactics would call down harsh penal
ties upon the offenders.
Cutter was another victim of rough
riding, and was pocketed and held in
jam by Orchan for a quarter of
mile, killing whatever chances the
Weinberg filly had of winning, al
though she was beaten only half a
length after getting away poorly and
being the victim of rough tactics.
Mi Reina was almost knocked over
the fence in front of the grand stand
as the field passed on the first round
in the mile and a half race.
Judge Hamilton called Jockey c.
Grand, who rode Mi Reina, and Jockey
Powell, who was on Lanark, into the
stand for explanations, and, while ac-
cepting their statements as true,
warned them that the offense of rough
riding had been made capital crime
at Ascot and advised them to keep
their skirts clear.
Tramotor Cashes
Mrs. James Blute Won the first race
on the card with Tramotor, which
opened at SIS and drifted to 15s at post
time.
Cutter was favorite for this event,
but was away poorly and was pocketed
for half the journey, finishing like Il
whirlwind when free to run.
In the drive home through the final
eighth Cutter hard pressed the Blute
gelding, but could not overcome the
lead, Tramotor winning by half
length from Cutter, which outgamed
Orchan in the drive home.
Charlie Van Dusen won his maiden
race as r-trainer-manager with
Loyal Front, which he recently pur-
chased from S. M. Williams for con-
sidefation of $4,000. taking the second
race from w. II. Carey and Retropaw.
Retropaw took the lead at the start
and held it to within few yards of
the wire. where Loyal Front and w. II.
Carey overlook him and passed him.
Hermitage, the false favorite, ran
nicely for three quarters, but found
further efforts too great an undertake
ing. quitting to nothing.
Loyal Front was held cheaply at rs
in the opening odds and scared to 12s
al post time, with only occasional pix
ing chances being taken at his prob
abilities.
Borghesi Wins Handicap
Seven good handicap horses faced the
barrier in the third race, n $500 free
handicap event at one and one-six-
teenth miles, with New Mown Hay and
Hans Wagner yleing for faVoritism
at 3s.
The Enslewood Farm sent Borghesi TO
the post and this game and consistent
runner was so woefully neglected in the
glamour of other entries which ap-
peared TO outclass him In speed and
prices in the books that his price
drifted from IS TO 12s
Hans Wagner set out as usual in the
lead and ran finely to the stretch,
where his high weight caused him to
tire, and Michael Byrnes, Hippocrates
QnH RnPQh9Ci L., 81.
