Baltimore, Nd. Nov l-one Of the best
cards OF the Maryland raincg season was
ron on at the historic Pimiico course to-
day. The track was a little slow owing
70 rain which fell all afternoon, al
though not enough to materially reduce
the time
The Walden Stakes, with an added
value of 5000, was a romp for George d.
Wtdener's Columbine, who won as his
rider pleased by seven lengths. while
Courtship was second and Cadillac third
Shouldering lss pounds as II It was a
feather. Leochares. son of Broomstick
and Leayonara, won the Pimlico Fall
Serial Handicap an AFFAIR at six furiongs,
from J. J. Lillis and Runes. Leochares
was on badly. and was forced to run
about his field, but when Strengthened out
for home he simply romped, and in 80
doing lowered the track record. which
was formerly held by August Belmont's
Stromboli. who with 123 pounds up in 1915
ran the distance in 1:l2 fiat. Today, on a
track that was a trihe slow, Leochares
ran the six furlongs in ILL IS. a remark
able performance. when Il is considered
that he gave everything in the race from
z to IS pounds. and was only breezing at
the finish. Had the track been fast II Is
no telling what Leochares would have
run the distance in. His performance
today is the best effort of his career.
Triple Crown opened the afternoons
sport by winning the first number from
Polly J. and Matin. Seawave was played
for a good thing, but ran absolutely last
and her race today does not go. Keogh
did not appear to make any effort to win.
and her race today is far below her pres
ent form.
Brooks won the Junior Steeplechase
from Masterful and Socony. 1t was a
lucky win for the Davies entry, as the
Brook, the Sage entry, was knocked to
his feet at the eleventh jump and lost his
rider. He was going the best at the time.
The hest thing of the. afternoon came
eff in the third race when Ting a Ling
defeated True as Steel in handy fashion.
Fair Helen was third. True as Steel made
all the running until the stretch was
reached. but was not equal to the oc-
casion and Ting a Ling came away when
ready.
Bayberry Candle shouldered 12s pounds
and led all the way in the sixth race Il
/ win the Rennert Handicap from Chiclet.
Johnny Lotus put up an excellent ride on
this game little mare. and the issue was
never in doubt
All In all 1t was the best card that has
been seen in Maryland this fall. The cod
raw day did not dampen the ardor Of one
of the largest crowds ever assembled n
