FORM PLAYERS
HANDED J0LTS
Onwa and Brother Jonathan
Only Favorites to Land.
Moosehead Scores.

Bowie, Nd, Nov. 5.-Although
favorites divided the ordinary card
with outsiders at the Prince George
Park today, the form players were
handed quite a jolt in three Of the
events when they backed up the
favorites heavily. Onwa, which land
ed the third, a selling race for three
year-olds and up. and Brother
Jonathan, in the fifth. being the only
ones to live up to expectations.
Form players began to feel the Jolts
in the opening race when David
Gideon's Bathilde came homo ahead
of . classy field of maiden two-year-
olds. Dairyman was well played, but
Parrington gave a poor exhibition on
his mount as he allowed himself to
get pocketed at the head of the
stretch and was not in the final
drive. Juanita Cd landed the place
with Tolerance third.
Moosehead, q complete outsider, ac-
counted for the second race, which
was q six-furlong dash for 2-year-
olds. Umatilla and African Arrow
were backed OF the board by the
form players, but Ross entry was not
among those present at the finish.
African Arrow under a hard drive
managed to annex the place, while
Babette grabbed OF the third posf
ton.
FitzgeralGs onwa in the fourth
answered q long outstanding appeal
by getting in a half a length ahead
Of Owaga, while Preston Lynn after
: coming with a great rush showed
enough gameness to beat Birdman
for show. Zouave and Woodtrap, who
have been giving good performances
at the Prince George Park, were
heavily backed in the next number,
but three outsiders crossed over in
the pay positions.
Dan captured the event at the best
price of the day. while Kebo ran
second and Master Karma third. Bat
tie Abbey accounted for the sixth,
while Tie Pin scored in the final.
The Southern Maryland Agricultural
Association has decided that the Red
Cross has had its share OF money
from Maryland racing; and, inasmuch
as the Second Liberty Loan is safely
subscribed. Bowie will do something
substantial for the relief OF such
suffering and destitution as may
eventuate in the families of the SOL
diers and sailors Maryland has sent

seas and on the battlefields of France
and Belgium.
Accordingly It is the intention of
General Manager James F. OHara, of
the Bowie track. to start a fund
for the relief Of the families Of Mary
lands soldiers and sailors, not as
a charity. but as a sacred duty. The
amount the Southern Maryland Agri-
s,Ws -.
to this cause is to be determined
at meeting of the stockholders and
directors after the conclusion of the
November meeting at Prince George
Park. The fund will be placed in
the custody Of one of the numerous
war relief committees of Baltimore,
and with 1t, very probably, will be
deposited a fund Of $1,000 which the
clerks Of the mutuel machines have
already raised among themselves and
on their own initiative for the same
purpose.
