RACING STARTS AT
MARLBORO WEDNESDAY
Course Has Been improved
and Many Good Horses
Will Compete.

The flags are up at Marlboro, the
steeplechase jumps new brushed and
green and the track narrowed in readi-
ness for the beginning Wednesday of the
spring race meeting of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Fair Association.
Supt Ed Hanna, who was at Pimlico
Saturday making stall assignments. says
it will be possible the first day, provided
there is no rain. for a horse Of ordinary
class to step off three-quarters Of mile
in 1.15. AS half-mile tracks go, Marlboro
is a wonder. There is a real chute, the
and well thrown up.
1t is not at all improbable that some
fast races will be pulled off, too, before
the week is out. Faster horses than have
in the past will assemble at the Prince
Georges county track before the middle
of the week. Hanna has stabling appli-
cations for more than he will be able to
furnish with stalls.

who had been hurt Thursday when Fred
Levy went down with him just after
the start of the race won by Loan Shark.
Garrison was afraid Friday that Master
Andy might not be able to get down to
Marlboro.
The lad was kicked in the back as he
lay on the track and was severely bruised.
But Garrison was pleasantly disappointed
Saturday. Ferguson showed up at PIN
leo with a swollen hand and a stiff neck
bent upon riding. He was not permitted
to do that, of course, but he will be in
shape Wednesday,
Ferguson is going to make his mark
at Marlboro, and, unless the signs read
wrongly. he is apt to go over to Pimlico
in the fall and hold his own with the
-leverest jockeys in the United States.
He is a very precocious youth and Gar
rison, who has educated him from the be-
ginning, is confident he will not lose
courage as result of last weeks mis-
adventure.

KNIGHTS AND EAGLES
Will Play Next Monday for Benefit
of St. Vincent's Orphan ASYLUM.

Every arrangement has been completed
for the big charity benefit base ball game
between the Fraternal Order of Eagles
and the Knights of Columbus at the
American League base ball park the
afternoon of June 10. The sale of tickets
up to date assures the largest attend
ance ever at the park. The presence in
the city at the time of the game of 1JO, OOC
delegates of the Knights Of Columbus at
tending the unveil!ng of the Columbus
statue on the plaza of the Union station
gives a double assurance that the attend
ance will test the capacity Of the ball
park
AS usual. the annual charity game be-
tween the Eagles and Knights will be
for the benefit of st. Vincent's Orphan
Asylum. and the outlook for the raising of
a large sum of money through this char
ity benefit for the asylum is f1attering the
management Of the knights assuming
that a large majority Of the X. of c. dele
gates In the city at the time will be
patrons of the game.

Another college man who is sure of a
place on the olympic team is George Ho-
rine. the California high jumper. He
has been dong good work in the east,
notwithstanding the fact that he has
lost the two events in which he mas
taken part. The fact that he has been
compelled to concede handicaps to men
who themselves are capable of doing
more than six feet is responsible for his
failure to win. Yesterday at Celtic Park.
In New York, he really jumped feet j
inches, and yet did not get place, be-
cause of the handicaps placed against
him.

man In one of the big universities-the

lead the foot ball team. while in the
winter and spring he will be at the head

Mercer is one of the most accomplished
athletes who ever attended the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. Besides being one
of the fastest sprinters and broad jump
ers in the country he was the most con-
sistent fullback in collegiate foot ball
last fall.

The greatest interest, however, centered
in the running high jump contest, IN
which George HORNE, the phenomenal
jumper from San Francisco, was asked
to give handicaps to some of the best
men in the country. HORNE was scratch
