TOP O THE MORNING
BEATEN in feature
Proves Easy Picking for Classy Field
at Havre de Grace.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Havre de Grace, Nd, April 23.-That
Top o. the Morning has gone back there
Is no doubt, as his performance today
was way below his races Of last year. IL
was no effort for Tea Caddy and Car
bide and several others to beat him oe-
cisively today. The Powers horse went
to the post a heavy fayorite, but at no
stage Of the race did he display any OF
his .old-time form.
Broomsedge, showing a complete re-
versaI of form, got home in the sixth
race ahead of n good field. and incident
ally he paid 10 to I. On Saturday he
could not get out of his own way, but
today was another day and that Is what
counts.
Tipplty Witch defeated Archie zim-
1-ler's Onico by two lengths in the baby
rice The Whitney colt vas quick to get
G7CinS and opened u? a commanding lead.
IS the field swung for home T1ppity
Witch cut across sharply and forced
Onico to pull Up, which cost him the
race.
Jockey Collins claimed a foul. but the
Stewards decided otherwise and allowed
the result to stand. Mr.. whitney Is gen
orally very lucky in escaping claims OF
fouls against his horses. 1t looked Ike
z clean foul to close observers, but the
stewards arc better able to Judge than
the casual onlOoker.
Jockey Ambrose came to life today,
Tilotiny three winners. Poughkeepsie was
IIaysd for a good thing in the last race,
but falcered in the last few strides and
was defeated by FL Rey. Summaries:
