Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1913-09-09

Yesterday was the most pleasant
of the present race meeting, despite
threatening weather conditions The
showers of rain that tell earlier in
the day, settled the dust, cloansed
the grounds and cooled the atmo-
sphere. The track was exceedingly
heavy, but the ponies seemed to like
the mud and six interesting races
constituted the afternoons program.
The muddy condition of the track
resulted in one accident yesterday
afternoon, in which one Jockey mar
rowly escaped with his life. The
horse, Useeppa, in the third race,
slipped and fell on the first turn of
the track, throwing Jockey Woods to
the ground. The horse regained its
feet and trotted around the track,
but Jockey Woods lay apparently life
less on the track until he was picked
up lie finally walked to the pad
dock. He was not seriously injured
but was very painfully bruised
The third race was equally as eNcit-
ing from another viewpoint. Ormar
Lad, the George Crippen entry, beat
Carondolet, the faVOrlte. 1t was Or
mar LADS first race since he broke
down on a Canadian track this sum
mer and his speed and endurance
brought forth applause from the
fans.
In the first race, two out of six
starters were left at the post. Pisgah,
an to ] shot, won the race, Abrupt
finished second and Myrtle Dixon
came under the wire third. The horses
left at the post were Wild West and
La AZora.

Phil Mohr, favorite every time he

ent meeting, got away with the mud
dy track and won the fifth event.
Frank Flesher and Charley Ward,
two hard ones to beat, finished sec
ond and third, respectively.
The fifth event was $50 selling
race and Pat Nicholson. well known
horseman, bid the winner, Phil .Mohr,
up to $4O5. II was spirited sale up
to this point, but when J. Parks,
owner of the horse, bid S405 to pro-
tect his ownership Of the animal,
competition ended
Just who was to pull down first
money in the sixth race was ques-
ton that kept the ticket holders on
the anxious seat for a short time.
Dipper finished first, Beverstein sec
ond and Fernando third. Jockey
Mondon, riding Beyerstein, contested
the race on the grounds that Feeney
riding Dipper, had struck him seVeral
times with the whip on the back
stretch. There was a possibility that
Feeney might have been protecting
his mount against being penned INTO
the fence by Beverstein and Judge
Han allowed the official result TO
stand Just as the first three horses
finished.
