Billy Hibbs Upsets Dope
By Winning from Fast Field
BY GEORGE 3. NORRIS

Bowie, Md, April BILLY Hibbs, a
l2-year-old horse, ridden by Watts, an
apprentice jockey, cleaned up for the
wise ones today at the Prince George
track, when he romped home an easy
winner by two lengths in front of Car
laverock and Nigadoo. The latter was
the medium of a heavy play. but at no
time could ne get near the winner.
1t was a popular victory owing to the
fact that it was the third race that this
diminutive lad has ridden and he showed
excellent judgment in this. his first VIC
tory.
In the opening dash Collector got home
a head in front of Richard Carman's
Paradise, while Trend dropped into the
third notch.
Casaba came right back today and
won the third number from Lady Lon
don by a head, who in turn was half
a length in front OF Task. Casaba led
all the way butwas tiring at the finish
and would have been beaten in another
stride.
RustIing Brass repeated his double
headed performance today when he cap
tured the following number by a head
from Miss Waters After winning he
repeated his previous antics by running
away three and quarter miles. This
seems to be a regular habit as in his
last race which he won, he ran away
similar distance.
Molly was played for a hot thing
today and she showed in her race that
she was out for the money. She led
from the break to the head of the
stretch where Col Gutelus slipped
through on the rail and won by a small
margin, while Bob Hsdheld was third
With better handling Redfeld would
surely have been closer up at the finish.
The last race on the card was a hot
finish between Harry Lauder and Ahara-
The latter got the decision by mod, -
which was entirely due TO the good ride
he received. Little Forehand. who was
on Harry Lauder. has a habit Of looking
around instead Of going ahead about his
business, and as a result he was nipped
right at the post. He did the same thing
on Wednesday when he was caught in
similar manner at the same spot.
The attendance today was the largest
SO far this week, and the grand stand
was packed. Society folk were out in
large numbers, and while the card was
very ordinary one, several excellent fin
ishes were in line and a good afternoons g
sport was had. Summaries:
