FISCHER DOES
CLEVER RIDING
BRINGS HOME CARTHAGINIAN
AT LONG PRICE
Two FsvorItes and Three Heavily
played Second Choices Give
the Talent an Even
Break

but two fnvorites rewarded their
hackers at Ascot yesterday afternoon
rThe boolkies, however, did not nave
anything on the public as three heavily
played second choices and long shot
backed from 30 to 10 TO l came home
winners.
Those who backed CarthnRinian and
Bonnie Reg have Jockey Fischer TO
thank, as he rode q masterly finish on
each one and outrode the other Jockles
when it came to pinch. tischer also
brought in second Miss Martha, which
was heavily played for place and show
Jockey Harris celebrated his return
to the saddle by riding two winners.
Nappa with Knapp in the saddle and
played from 6 to to l, beat the gate
and bid her field farewell by opening
gap of three lengths, which she held un-
I'll the finish Miss Martha was third
all the way where she began to tire, but
FISCHER kept her going long enough TO
save the place from Derdom at 80 TO l.
Illusion the Z to 10 shot, was weakly
ridden and pocketed most of the way.
Throw out this race as he can do bet
ter King Ahab was never in the hunt.
Carthaginian gladdened the hearts of
the long shot pikers when Jockey
Fischer in a desperate drive managed
to get his nose in front of Ed Tracy,
which with Mirabel a 100 to l shot,
made all the pace until the stretch,
where Royal Ascot joined them ana
lasted long enough to be third from the
s to favorite Irish Maid. Mirabel quit
badly in the last eighth.
Bribery, the favorite in the third
race, got a flying start and gained an
advantage that probably won her the
race. Antara backed from to 21a to l
was knocked off his stride at the start
and had to go all round his field. Bel
chamber finished with a rush and would
have been second in a few more jumps.
Marie H showed speed for a half then
quit. May do in very cheap company.
The handicap, as usual brought the
crowd to it's feet as the finish between
the first three horses was so close that
the judges we're the only ones in po-
sition to tell which one won.
Reservation was the heaviest backed
horse in the race, going to the post at
4 after to could be had at one time.
Wrenne closed at 90 to 1 and the Curl
entry, Orilene and Chimney Sweep,
closed at to /. Won Tromp, the favor
ite, was backed from 21a to 1 to II to D.
J. r. Laughrey and Wrenne ran head
and head for six furlongs, when the
former stopped and Preston brought up
Orilene, which looked an easy winner
at the paddock gate.
Wrenne would not be denied and hung
on like bull dog when the big Cayuga
gelding Reservation came like a shot
and just managed to get up in time to
win in the last jump from Wrenne with
Orilene a nose behind. Preston made
his move too soon with the latter or
would surely have won.
Won Tromp was close up to the pace
all the way but quit the final eighth.
The finish of this race reflects highly
on the good work Secretary Boden has
effected all season.
Madden was played in the sixth race
from to l to to 3 and many of his
hackers were of the opinion that it was
all over but the shouting. Bonnie Regis
odds reached 4 to 1 when the wise play
sent his price to 8 to l.
The Mist closed at to 1, and Critic
was held at Is to ! at all stages of the
betting. Fischer got Bonnie Reg off
we'll with Nothing the runner up the
first half and Search Me third turning
into the stretch.
Bonnie was inclined to stop at the
paddock but Fischer put up a good
finish and stalled off The Mist, which
outran finished like a bolt of creased
lightning. Critic got up in the jump to
get third from Nothing.
Sly Ben and Search Me quit after
going a good half. Madden could not
raise a gallop. After the race ]. B.
Dunn boosted the winner to $780, but
the extra five was forthcoming and he
went back to his old barn.
This boost was in retaliation of Mon
days fifth race when j. w. Blalock,
the owner of Bonnie Reg, claimed Line
of Life from J. b. Dunn for $1025.
GiVonni Balerio, the to / favorite,
got away on his stride in the sixth race
and made every post a winning one,
but was driven out to stall of Cotillion S
determined challenge in the stretch.
Cadichon was third all the way. Knapp
took Prince Ching after the pace and
had nothing left to finish with, as the
old horse has but one run in him.
Josie's Jewell and Golden Green
bumped each other at the start and had
no chance thereafter
While Preston and Mcdaniel were
skylarking In the betting ring yesterday
afternoon Preston ran into an iron
pillar and was knocked senscless for
fifteen minutes. Friends revived him
and it was feared he was badly hurt at
first. An examination revealed the fact
that he had all his teeth knocked loose
Jockey Preston was fined $25 by the
starter in the first race for bad behaY-
ior at the post.

Today's Probabilities
There is quantity galore i'm most of
the events for this afternoon, but
quality is lacking. There should be
some good exciting sport as the fields
are evenly matched.
TWo-yeaT-Old maidens will face the
starter in the first race. Adrian showed
good form her only two outs and should
about earn brackets today. Snapdragon
can go some after he leaves the barrier
