BOOKS MAKE A NICE CLEANUP
ON PUBLIC
Hans Wagner Shows Sudden I'M
provement and Downs Fair
Field at the Good odds Of
Five to One
NY FOREST LOWRY.

Bronze Wing, held at the prohihitive
odds of 4 to 5. was the single favorite
TO win yesterday at Ascot. Long shots
and third choices got the majority OF
the purses and the books cleaned up
heavily in consequence. 1t was an
ordinary card with little class to any
of the events, save the third race on
the program, which attracted fair
field.
Iona Shot In Front
An ordinary bunch of twelve maiden
Allses and mares scrambled over five
furlongs of ground in the opening
event. Sun Mark at 2 to !, Manera
at 31b to 1, and Kate Camben and
Massacre at z to / each, were the best
played. The others could be had at
any old price from 10 to 1 to 200 to 1.
The winner turned up in Febette,
held at 20 to 1 in the betting. She
broke in front and won going away
by ten lengths. Fer de Lance at 10
to 1 was second and Sun Mark third.
Frank PerIey All the Way
A conditional Slauson course race.
second on the card, attracted field
of eleven, although fourteen were orig
inaI1y carded to go. Tender Crest
looked the best to the talent and she
was installed favorite at to 5. The
best she could do was to finish third.
Frank L. Perley led his field from
flag fall to wire and scored an easy
victory at the good odds of 31a TO l..
FL verraco, opening at 6 and recedins
to 7. easily disposed of Tender Crest,
the favorite, in the run for home.
Hans Wagner improves
Hans Wagner at to 1, led the field
of five which faced the barrier in the
third race from wire to wire. On the
far turn he opened up a winning gap
which won for him. Lord of the Heath,
the to favorite. was knocked out
of his stride as the barrier went up
and did not get going till the head of
the stretch. He saved a world of
ground by skimming the rail , but
could not get up Ralph Young, held
at s to 1, finished third nose behind
over mile and a sixteenth of ground
and the time of 1:471s reflected little
credit on the winner, as the race had
every appearance of "shoo in." Ara,
second choice in the betting at to :,
finished bad fourth. He was always
outrun and never appeared dangerous
Atlantico, the extreme outsider, was
absolutely last.
Lanark DoWned Franeible
The one mile selling affair for four
year-olds and upward fourth on the
card, was annexed by Lanark. second
choice in the betting at to 1. He
lay in a good position to the head of
the stretch, where he made his move
and showed the way the rest of the
distance. McDaniels put up a power
full finish on Frangible, but the Curl
gelding was not good enough. Lauretta
Phillips got the short end of the purse.
Uppercut got off flying and at the head
of the stretch looked all over the win-
ner. He died away to nothing and
finished in the ruck.
Easy for MirthfuI
Lady Mirthfu opening at 6 to 1 and
closing at 4 to 1, made a run away
race of the fifth event, winning by
three lengths from Latoila, the favorite
who in turn beat Schottische tw7
lengths for the show. The race was
always between the first four, as none
of the others had chance with the
start. The race was a conditional af-
fair for four-year-olds and upward
non-winners of two races at this meet
ing. Thirteen of the worst ever faced
the barrier and the distance was over
the Siauson course.
Bronze Wing in Soft Spot
Bronze Wing, at to 5, was dropped
into a soft spot in the sixth race and
won pulled to walk from Golden JOY
held at to 1, and Winifreda, an to I
shot. Tt was always a three-horse
race with Bronze Wing leading all the
way. Golden JOY easily held Winifreda
safe for the place. The others had nc
chance and might as well have stayed
in the barns.
