Apprentice Brings Three Win
ners Across Board in Sell
ing Platter Events at Mary
land Course.
YODELES RUNS FIRST
By GEORGE B. MORRIS.


Laurel. Oct 1s.-Six races framed for
selling platers of the cheapest order
made up the card at Laurel Park this
afternoon and the sport in the main was
uninteresting. There was little in the
way of a contest to arouse the enthusi-
asm of the spectators, though form was
good and five of the winners were well
played by the public. The feature of the
afternoon was the clever form shown
by the young apprentice rider, Menke,
who rode three winners in that many
efforts. This boy is under contract to
John Sanford and he has been showing
rare skill OF late:
The surprise of the days racing was
the sudden awakening of H Underberg's
platter, Yodeles. This performer has
shown very poor form in all his races
over the Maryland tracks this fall and
his sudden return of speed was very sur
prising. In all his recent races he has
been badly beaten after showing no foot
whatsoever. Today he was an entirely
different horse. McCahey sent him to
the front at the rise of the barrier and
he outran his opponents from end to end.
1t was an ordinary buch Of platers that
performed in this number and before
post time Valas. Borax and Jesse, jr..
were the best fancied of the lot. When

public choices made a sorry showing
against Yodeles. The latter. in striking
contrast to his recent races, went to the
front at the rise Of the barrier and, after
shaking on BoraX in the first three
eighths, drew into an easy lead. Jesse,
jr., moved up with a rush, approa ching
the far turn and closed some ground on
the leader rounding this bend. In the
stretch the pair drew out from the others
and at the eighth pole Jesse. jr.. had
Yodeles headed. but in the final furlong
McCahey let out a wrap on the pace
maker and he drew away, to win easily.
Two-year-old selling-platers faced
the barrier in the opener, and Roxie
Angarola's Maifou, showing an i'm
proved performance. proved an easy
winner. Andrew Miller's Disturber
was the one to take the place with
S. Louis Iolite, who was pocketed for
most of the running in third position.
Thomas Clyde's Ilaria was probably
best, as this filly finished a bang-up
fourth after being away slowly ana
absolutely last going down the back
stretch.
Important was the one to make the
pace. but tired badly in the stretch
from the effects Of his early efforts.
Edna Kenna, who has been a marvel
of inconsistency in her recent races,

was never in the running.
Samuel Louis, who was represented
in this race BY Iolite, claimed Andrew
Miller's Disturber for $500.
Three races for selling platers over
the six-furlong route were decided,
and the first of these went to c. w.
Gasser's Dryad. This colt has always
raced exceedingly well over a muddy
track. and after following the early

proved a handy victory for Mrs J.
Phillips Fair Helen, ably ridden by
Lilley. This mare, always in close
pursuit of the pace. moved up with
a rush swinging for home, and wore
an easy lead at the end. Lily orme.
after showing a high flight of early
speed, faltered badly when the final
test came, but easily took the place.
Martin Casca earned the short end
of the purse after looking the win
ner at the head of the stretch. The
winner was boosted $500 over her en-
tered selling price, but was retained
by the stable.
W. Smiths Lady London proved best
in the fourth race. also a six furlong
of, sprint. and scored a handy victory
over Salon. Enrer Bey's high turn
of early speed carried him into q
long lead in the first three furlongs,
but he stopped badly and just lasted
long enough to save third. ...
The final number on the program, q
mile and one-sixteenth affair. furnish
ed the easiest winner of the afternoon
when E. wayland's lightly-weighted
Dartworth galloped home in front of
Emil Herz's Marshon and six other
platers. This gelding after laying well
up five-eights went to the front with

into a long lead. He was well in
hand at the end. Marshon. as usual,
was a trailer during the early stages.
