SEES CLOSE
OF PIMLICO
Running for Amateur
Cup BroughtOut Lead
ing Gentlemen Riders

BALTIMORE, Nov 9.-Fair weather
brought out a big crowd today for the
final at Pimlico. and with a splendid
card Of seven races the finish was highly
! satisfactory 10 all concerned.
Several features were on the program,
| but Of these perhaps the most attractive
was the sixth running OF the Amateur
Cup for gentlemen riders This brought
out good field of seven starters with
the leading gentlemen riders of this
section in the saddle. Nearly every
starter had some support Recruit was
perhaps the most fancied. although True
Boy and Peter Knight had a strong
backing. The race was won by kilio-
han. ridden by Mr.. Tucker The win
ner ran a nice race. and Just lasted long
enough 10 beat out Peter Knight who
closed with determined rush. Tommy
Wright had the mount on Lord Badge
and he rode his prettiest 70 win.
Mr.. Wright has tW6 legs on the cup
now, and a winning today would have
made il his property. Lord Badge looked
dangerous at the head OF the stretch
and Mr. Wright rO0e most strenuous
finish, but the old horse weakened right
at tine end The Owners HaudlcaD
Steeplechase was another Of the star
events Of the afternoon. A big field Of
ten chasers started, and seven finished.
Mr.. McMurtrie's gallant little mare.
BersI although she mad up quite a pack
age. won the race handily She Law I'm
behind the bunch until the last time
around the field and went right 10 the
front, and with rare gHmeness out
stayed all her competitors Bob Muir
ply was touted as the good thing I'm
this race and he showed most excel
lent performance. but was not quite
good enough 10 beat the winner. Guar
dian ran his usual consistent race. but,
as usual, failed TO stay.
Jupiter a Surprise.
Another of the features on tbs card
was the Jockey Club Purse at q mile
and a half. Carter Halls Jupiter was
the surprise here, winning all the way
at a long price and beating she hOr tip.
