LARGE CROWD ON HAND

Prince George Park, Oct. 1.-The special
trains that came in from Washington and
Baltimore brought a large crowd Of en-
thusiastic horse lovers, who witnessed q
rattling good days sport. The large
fields were well balanced, but the talent
proved to be good judges. with the result
that the ring was given severe Jolt
Starter Dade did some excellent work,
especially In the fifth race, when the
large field, starting in the chute, broke on
a straight line. II was long-shot day, the
public putting several good things over
during the afternoon.
There was no feature on the card. al
though the fourth race, handicap, at j
mile and a sixteenth, furnished q good
contest. The winner turned up In Billie
Baker. who was well supported. ArmoI
was second and Henry Hutchinson third.
The latter was heavily played. but could
never get to the leaders
The real good thing of the day was
Castara, who closed at Is to L She won
cleverly. beating Frontier a length, who
in turn beat Jack Laxson the same dis
tance.
Aware and A. N. Akin were the only
pronounced favorites to win
Gazelle, the winner of the second event,
was boosted to s6o5. and retained by her
owner.
Between Us captured the opener. but
had to be hustled to beat Isch GabIbble.
Norus was third.
Ed Corrigan. the master of Haw-
thorne," whose colors a score OF years
ago were carried by some Of the most
famous racers the American turf has
known, was a visitor at Bowie on Tues
day. He was accompanied by Sheridan
Clark. secretary Of the Dorval Park
track, Toronto.
The deadly angle" at Bowie is Just as
deceptive as at any other track. Backers
OF Harry Shaw, who thought their horse
was winner by an open length the other
day, would never believe that he only got
the verdict by a head from Celtic, but
such was the fact. The horses finished
on opposite sides Of the track.
In the fifth race almost the entire field
was lined up like a cavalry charge a
sixteenth from the finish, though Cas-
tara always maintained a slight advan-
tage.
Not 90 many years ago Judge Murphy
was a Chicago sporting editor. and be-
fore that he was a crack amateur rum
ner in the West.
Starter Dade owes much Of his success
at the barrier to the rigid discipline he
maintains over the jockeys. The tall
Kentuckian has an eye like a hawk, and
the boys know they haven't a chance to
fool him.
But for poor racing luck. Netmaker
would have given Aware a hard race in
the last.
Twenty bookies were in line today.
