Talent Unusually Successful in
Picking Winners at The
Meadows
By ]. z. Jefery

SEATTLE, Aug. 1.-THE public had
one inning at The Meadows today,
when Shirley Rossmore, Achieve, Fern
L and Convent Bell scored as favor
ties. All four were well played and
the ring lost heavily. Monte Lucille,
one Of the two winning outsiders, was
by no means friendless. but Sea Lad,
the remaining winner, was accorded
scant support. Ripper and Triumph
ant, two supposedly good things that
were well nigh backed off the boards
by smart money in the fifth and sixth
races, were unable to make good, both
winding up third. The consistent Fern
L ran six furlOngs in iii 4-5 in win
ming the T. o. K. handicap, in which
she easily vanquished a small but Sc
lect field Of sprinters.
Jockey Gaugel, who is under con-
tract TO the St James stable, was in
definitely suspended as result Of the
manner in which he rode Silver Line,
the only favorite out Of the money
during the day. There were some old
scores against Gaugel and this was
only the eliminating incident.
Jockey Page was reprimanded and
fined $50 for rough riding in the hrst
race. Had Bernardo, the victim Of his
tactics. finished close enough up to
have been benefited by such course,
Shirley Rossmore would have been
disqualified.
Golden OrioIe. the flly that H w
HOag has under lease from w. OBJ.
Macdonough of Menlo Park, showed
remarkable Improvement over her only
TWO previous starts IN todayS year
old contest, and experts look for her
TO develop into a filly of high class
Ralph Tozer will be presiding judge
ing to be held at Bellingham, this
state, in the near future.
