Fred MulholIand Crashes
Through Rail and
Is Killed.
FORTY TO ONE SHOT WINS
By G. w. SWAN.


F. Mannix's crack two-year old, showed
his class in the handicap at Laurel Park
this afternoon by beating three other
good youngsters over the five and a half
furlong route In impressive style.
Superintendent gave away weight to the
other starters, and won in a driving fin
ish, beating Undaunted to the wire by a
head.
Fllttergold, picked to give the Mannix
youngster a battle, was scratched owing
/ to the rain and soft track. The going
was bad, but Superintendent picked up
his heels in a clever manner.
What promised to be a good racing day,
despite the poor condition of the track
was turned into one of tragedy. Fred
Mulholland, John o. Talbott's winning
veteran, crashed into the rail coming
down the stretch and was killed. Old
Fred was the choice in the third race and
looked like a sure winner when the acci-
dent occurred. Old Fred was evidently
blinded by the flying mud Coming
around the turn, the Holland winner
closed up on Chemulpo, and was rapidly
forging to the dront when he hit the rail.
The heavy timber passed through the
horses body and he was destroyed at once.
Jockey Waldron was thrown twenty feet
landing in the ditch. Aside from several
painful bruises, the little fellow was no,
injured.
Loses Flying Yankee.
Owner Talbot was the victim of more
hard luck in the fourth race. when his
Flying Yankee, after breeding home a
winner in a stirring finish, was taken b.
Richard Carman for 81, 400.
Another long shot went over and this
one was well backed, both at the track
and in the out-of-town pool rooms.
Loretta Dwyer, with odds of ~ to |
against her, swept past the judges
stand a winner in the opening event.
Alderman Stanley II. Kunz, OF Chicago,
the owner of Loretta Dwyer, was about
the only one TO bet on the fiIly. but 1t
was reported that the Windy City poll
tician cleaned up close to $4,000 on the
victory. The mare won a good race at
the recent Indiana meeting but her mud
running proclivities were an unknown
quantity to the bookies, and the big odd 3,
resulted. But few of the wise ones
were on the inside. Lace. the favorite,
was poor second, with Garden Of Allah
third.
Undaunted OntgRmed.
Superintendent outgamed Undaunted
and Gallop in the second event, a handi-
cap for two-year-olds, and won by a head,
big gap on the back stretch, and. although
carrying top weight. was a good winner.
Undaunted was second and Gallop third
Chemulpo proved the victor in the
third race. due to the untimely ending
of Fred Mulholland's career. Hedrick's
horse came back after running a good
race Saturday In clever style, and led
all the way to the turn into the stretch
Here old Fred challenged Chemulpo, but
ran into the rail. and Chemulpo romped
home alone. Spellbound was second and
Brando third. Only four horses started |
The third event went to Flying Yankee |
in a driving finish, Feather Duster
losing first place by a head. Right
Easy grabbed the show position from
Tom Holland.
Recession in Front.
Recession. with Karrick up, breezed !
home a winner in the fifth race, with |
Huda's Brother second and Fool o. For
tune third.
The final race went to Volthrope, with !
Mary Ann X. a great second and Mey
Lad third, Volthrope was OFF in the
lead, and led to the wire. but Mary
Ann h. closed a big gap and was stead |
lily gaining on Volthrope.
This was a good day for the talent |
In all but two events the favorite came |
home in front. In the opening event the |
winner paid 40 to !, and in the third race |
ChemulpO was rated at to !.
