POLLS THE WINNER
Of GUADALAJARA
HANDICAP
Superior Work Of Jockey
Howard Pulls His Mount
in Well Ahead.

Polls won the Guadalajara handicap
Sunday by superior generalship on the
part of jockey Howard, who outrode
the other boys at every post Laying
back to let the others start the pace
the favorites allowed Polls to get out
and away for five length lead before
starting TO give chase. Then it was
too late and Polls had the race won
Meadow made a desperate effort to
overtake the flying leader and MoIeS-
worth set his mount to the task. But
Meadow was interfered with, made an
effort to get past on the rail and failed
only to come on and give chase after
"a hard ride. Cherryola was expected
to win and was heavily played at the
prevailing odds but disappointed every
one by the makeshlft race that was Of
fered. Cherryola was in good posi-
ton most of the way and could have
won with the expected burst of speed.
But when Rice gave her the rein she
failed to rise to the occasion and ran
fourth behind the field Injury made
a move on the stretch turn but was not
good enough.
Lady Rankin Winner.
Lady Rankin won the first race by
keeping clear of the opposition on the
outside. She came on in the stretch and
had speed enough left to beat the 9TH
ers to the wire. Lady Hughes was Sec
ond in the finish and should have won
but Lady Rankin was too strong for
her. Luna Beall was third.
Virgie Case was the winner all the
way in the second race and was pulled
up at the end. She was well ridden by
Wordsworth and had no difficulty in
getting the money from the field. The
Peer was at his best and had no ex-
cuses for not winning, as he ran his
race in the first part. Marcus lost what
ever chances he had by running wide
at the stretch turn but he was not good
enough to beat the winners. General
Marchmont was outrun during the first
part of the race but came strong at the
finish and won from the others by
length. Toy Boy followed Frank Null
lens around to the stretch when he went
out and outgamed Mullens.
Doc Allen a Loser.
Old Doc Allen lost his race in the fifth
to a lounger performer. Lena Lech
beat the old doctor to the money in
this race after Allen had it won. Doc
Allen was away second and had no ex-
cuses He was running well all the way
and looked to be winner until Lena
moved up and passed him in the stretch.
W. T. Overton was third after making
up world of ground. Kopek showed
a good burst Of speed in the final race
of the day and won from Crossover and
Bon Ton. Crossover had a rough trip
and was pulled up to avoid spill on
the stretch turn, but came back and
won second money. Bon Ton lasted it
out in third place.
