decisive fashion.
Banker has been a disappointment to
Stokes and all who have loyalty sup
ported the classy Belvidere colt in
previous outs. but the majority of these
supporters went back to him yesterday
and had the satisfaction of cashing
on their loyalty.
Silver Wedding from Joe James
stable was first away from the post
and soon opened UP big gap which
seemed to assure the speedy FLY the
long end of the purse, but after turn
ing into the back stretch Banker begail
to slowly move UP and when the bunch
entered the stretch, the light blue
showed in front and from that point
on to the wire it was hard duel be-
tween Banker and Masterson.
Clcely Is a Surprise
Masterson Is slow beginner, but a
terrific stretch runner and he moved
up on even terms with Banker in the
stretch, but the Stokes colt slowly
pulled away from him in the drive to
the wire and won with two lengths to
spare.
Chimney Sweep found very little mud
on the track and could not run to his
best form. In the stretch drive, how
ever, he COPIED out the show money by
a good margin.
Cicely turned the sensation of the
afternoon by running away from Da-
ruma and Lady King In the third race,
romping in the easiest manner in the
run through the stretch.
1t is said that this is the first time
Cieely ever faced the barrier, but the
easy manner In which she encompassed
the defeat of the sensational runner,
Daruma, few were inclined to accept
the story.
Cicely was coupled with Lady Huron

good as 10 to 1 could have been had

out that Cicely had performed wonder
fully good in her early morning work.
outs and a steady play hammered the
price to 5s at post time.
Neatness figured to be factor in the
running, but bled and after running
into third position in the stretch, died
away.
Long Shot Wins
Only two favorites won yesterday and
the triumph of the long shot brigade
began with the first race, the juvenile
affair, which was won by Halton at
II to 1.
Sweet Kitty was the favorite, but
was away in a mess and could never
get through the bunch in time to get
inside the money.
Silver Stocking was much admired
and justified this admiration by run
ming tip-top race. From an ordinary
beginning, she glimmered past her field
and set out after the wild-horse Hal
ton, and although the latter had too
great a lead to be overcome, she cut
it down to a nose finish ON the wire.
Edwin T. Fryer was away poorly,
but had his usual speed and was third
at the finish. two lengths and a nose
behind the first two.
Maiden three-year-old contested for
brackets in the second race and Charles
Green earned the decision by a head
which was worth 1925 to Barney
Schrieber, his owner,
Rides Close Races
1t required the hardest kind of riding
by Booker and the best efforts of which
Charles Green Is possessed to get the
decision, as Stenger led all the way to
the last jump and only because of the
firing efforts of the latter did Green
win. Rubicon was lucky to get the show
from Jack Hennessey, which was clos
ing like Il cyclone.
Hot was in a soft spot in the fifth
race and after a short duel in the
stretch with Sun Mark. came on and
won easily by two lengths. The pace
killed off Sun Mark, which quit badly
in the closing strides and permitted
Pyrrho to get the place by a nose.
La Londe won the final event in
spread eagle style, taking a big lead at
the first quarter and holding it
throughout, winning with three lengths
to spare.
Skeptic was always second, but never
good enough to catch La Londe, but
had slight difficulty in getting the
place from DR.. McCarty, which ran his
usual consistent race.
Stake Is Feature
The usual weekly stake event is the
feature today, the San Pedro selling
stakes being the particular event of SUI
periof attractiVeness
Fustian is assigned top weight, but
1O6 pounds will not bother this good
one. which is right on edge now and
should never be In much trouble.
Theo Case is in light and will go like
n wild horse, but it is improbable that
he can overtake Fustian in time to win.
Memories has been a disappointment
of late and may not run her race, but
viii probably be good enough to get the
show money.
Bustian. Theo Case, Memories should
be the order of finish.
II Lazy hlspar rs or any account
whatever. she should finally get brack-
cts in the opening race.
The bunch that will face the barrier
for this race is so decidedly without class
or especial merit that anything has a
perfect license to win.
Miss Affable should be second and
Blue Knot may get the show. Bailey
has been a good thing for a long time
and is therefore out of consideration.
The end should be Lady Kispar Miss
Affable, Blue Knot.
Cholk Hedriek will run like a scared
jack rabbit in the second race, which
Is over the Brooks course. Light
weight and Swain up will make this
one 100 shot.
Miss Betty is best of the others and
with her light impost will go nicely
here. She must be considered dangerous
d in this company.
Dollie Weithoff is a consistent run
ner and 'twould break her heart moi
to be 1-2-S, despite the weight arrange
ment.
The probabilities: Chalk Hedrick
Miss Betty. Dollie Weithofr.
GlIpln May Win
Gilpin should be first home In the
