The Washington herald., 1910-06-12

DIR. Sansbury is responsible for the
statement that it IS a hardened con-
science. instead of a hardened liver. with
which the Doc" Is suffering. That,
however. is a base caiumny.
Washingtonians IN quite large numbers
attended the racing during the week at
the Gentlemen's Driving Park. They saw
some excellent sport. The association
controlling that track always puts up a
/ first-elass entertainment, because it pays
good purses, and good purses always pro-
duce good horses. 1t is TO be regretted
/ that on Tuesday Russell G., of our own
! local string, did not make a better show
ing than next to last But those who
have been following the brown son of
Happy Russell for some weeks past have
observed that he was very much "off. -
Sixty days ago he was as good as he
ever was. and could have gone to the
races and made good Now Mott win
have 10 wait on him until he rounds TO-
which may be late in the season. Rus
sell G's campaign last season was a
notable one. Ii In condition there is
every reason 10 believe that lie win do
equally as well in 1910
! On Wednesday Alma, Pisa, made her
| first start in the 2:16 pace. There was a
quiet tip abroad that she would be driven
/ by Corbin to win, and that she was extra
good, having paced the st. Asaph track
/ before being shipped very close to 2:16.
! Quite large contingent of local horse
men went over TO Baltimore on Wednes-
day for the purpose of playing the brown
daughter of Lord Percy She was second

the second heat, and third in the two re-
naming heats, which We're paced in
2171l and PISA. AS the race at the park
was Alma's first time out the present
racing season, her performance was ex-
/ eellent. When she has two or three more
races under her belt she viii give a bet

Alma belongs to fast and game rae
! ing family, and will unquestionably Inn
prove as she goes on. She paced 10 her
present record Of 2:15i4 in quicker time
than any other young horse ever owned
/ in the District. Alma is a good 2:10 pros
pect the present season, and she may
even shade that mark a trifie if she con-
tinues good
The plunge on her by Washingtonians
on Wednesday undoubtedly shortened her
price in the pools and made her sell

Edward Daniels has definitely decided
to give matinee at Autoville Driving
Park. June IS which by the way is the.
date on which was fought the Battle OF
| Waterloo, the year being 1Sl5. Mr.. Dan
| iels has yet 10 meet his Waterloo, as far
| as his track is concerned. In fact he
has been successful with il beyond all
| expectations. The programme will COM
prise trOtting and pacing, and it is quite
possible that some other amusement viii
be provided for the people OF Prince
George and Montgomery counties.
DR.. J. y. Sansbury has got far enough
along with his card for the Fourth of
July meet at his Forestyille track TO
state that he will give a good sized purse
for free for all; another fairly good
purse for trot and pace, and an excel

! templated.
If all that Alonzo Corbin says is true
about Frank Tippetts Won March in
the matter Of speed and good Medicines.
ne is the kingpin four-y ear-old trOtter
of all this section Of the country. Mr.
Corbin claims that, if necessary, he can
give him a mark of 2:10 the present rae
ing season if his owner decides that he
wants the young stallion to have so low
a record the first year out Halls in
los are said TO be easy for him TO nego-
tate right now. COrbin says that at no
time has he driven the youngster 10 his
! full limit. and that he has never asked
too much of him.
When asked to step a little faster the
black stud is there with the goods every
time. Won March has been literally en-
( tered in the Western Pennsylvania, West
/ Virginia, and Ohio circuits, and has
long summers work ahead Of him, If he
does not 60 wrong.
