MARLBORO Meeting !
TO END ON TUESDAY
Mays Then Go to GentIeman's
Driving Park for Short Ses-
sion.

Msrlboro's meeting has two DAYS mora
TO run and then tho ponies will move
on to the Gentieman's Driving Park
Tor the last act OF the spring racing
drama of 19iC In Maryland.
The meetings at Prospect Park and
Marlboro have felt a lack Of horses,
as have. indeed. all the. meetings
throughout the East. due to the late
spring. which has kept the trainers
back In their preparations. and also to
genuine scarcity OF racing material
Drought about by the anti-racing legfs-
lstion which is now making itself
seriously felt and will continue to do
70 until under more favorable condi-
tons the breeding interests are brought
back to their normal state.
GOOD horses are scarce oil over the
country and there are hardly enough
OF them TO 20 around. The fact that
the racing associations have to call on
ancients like Budweiser and Billie Hibbs
to I'LL out their programs, tells the tale
very eloquently.
The promoters OF the Gentleman's
Driving Park meeting, which opens
Thursday are stirring around briskiy
to get new blood into their programs.
Besides the horses that have been rae
,ns az Prospect Park and Marlboro, the
Martin and McAndrew course will get
four or fve carloads of horses from
New York. and these will 20 a long
way toward making good cards for the
meeting. A much needed acquisition to
the jockey force also has been prom
ised from Canada.
There was something doing every
minute OF the afternoon at Marlboro
yesterday. Eight races were on the
card and they held the crowd until a
late hour. About all the talent at the
track was represented and every event
was well contested.
johnnie Farrell put one over on the
boys when his two-year-old StalwarL
Van came down in front in the first
race at odds of to !. This one started
! the opening day and although she did
not win showed enough to cause the
wise fish to tab her for future action. In
, the race yesterday the filly won hand
lily, and It may be that she will turn
out a good one.
Miss Elsie Palmer. of Arlington. gave
the talent a shock when her clever
I mare. Kinder Lou. won the fourth race
defeating the backed horses. Joe Rosen-
field. Kilcraggin. and John Roberts.
/ Theodore Coles started Carlone again in
| this race. but as on Friday. the gelding
refused to break. and was left standing
/ still when the barrier went up. 1t would
be a good idea to relegate Carlone to
the shafts of a milk wagon. AS a race
horse his usefulness is gone.
Old Monty Fox found 1913 pounds too
much for him In the last race of the
day. when he was beaten out by Song
of the Valley and Thrill in a pretty
finish The veteran has had a good
many races close together of late. and
this with his hefty package brought
about his defeat.
The hookmakers rather overreached
/ themselves in this race. They would not
lay better than l to 2 against Monty
Fox. and the consequence was that
the public neglected this one and looked
for a place horse. settling on Thrill and
Song of the Valley. thus whipsawing the
gentle layers when these horses ran

only In one inning was he of color.
But that was quite enough TO bring de-
feat to his standard. In that frame,
johnson wasn't so very, very good,
but his fast ball was like cannon shot,
and that sufficed. He let the enemy
we got. but they were scattered all
over the scorecard. The home boys
got two of theirs for their three runs
In the fourth.
Majors was practically invincible till
that fourth and then II happened. Fos-

hop To Majors. Milan had pilfered sec

The Maekmen. though trying their
best. could do nothing to Johnson until
the final frame. when they did manage
to get a run on Strunks walk. a couple
Of outs and Jimmy Walshs fine single

to nothing.
Two blows in the sixth put Pick on

The fielding of both teams was excel
