LONG SHOTS
HAVE BIG DAY
Outsiders Sweep Aside Fa-
vorites in Getaway at
Pimlico Track.

Baltimore, Maryland, Nov. Ia
Getaway day lived up to all tradi-
tions at Pimlico this afternoon and
as a result. by the time the
thoroughbreds paraded to the post
in the night cap the talent was
tottering. Favorites and choices
were swept aside and the rankest
sort of outsiders came handily
down the stretch to win at succu-
lent prices. Players of long shots,
VINO have had their innings almost
every day of the fall meeting were
In their glory and many expert
enced one of the most successful
days in their varied careers
A large crowd was on hand to
bid the sport goodbye at the old
Hill Top and the speculation was
heavy. A good money card. from
the viewpoint of the player. had
been arranged and although the
fields were not extraordinary Oh
account of class. they were well
balanced and made picking the
winners extremely difficult which
accounted for the unusual run of
long prices.
The fun started in the first race
when Veteran, a maiden, two-year
old. who had shown practically
nothing. Clambered down in front
of a cheap bunch paying $3.50 for
each ticket. He ran a heavy race
and when called upon won handily.
Corellis, another outsider. was
second and Fair and Square, the
choice. barely managed to save
show money.
The Caswell Handicap which was
for 2-year-olds. was taken down by
Be Frank who although literally
played. was not expected by the wise
ones to take the measure of Milk
maid from the Ross stable, who
finished second. The winner was
rated long in fine style by Ensor and
when the end came he withstood all
challenges easily. Raj PARIS Esqui-
mau came from behind to take down
the show money.
With only three starters in the race
the Woodberry Handicap was copped
by BOniface. owned by Commander
Ross, who won by a length and
half. He came from behind in the
last half and easily stalled off Hol-
lister. the choice. from the stable of
A. X. Macomber. This one beat
Boniface the other day and talent
figured that there was nothing TO the
race; but the Ross star sprang sur
prise by running in a wonderful re-
versal of form. Flittergold, the third
starter, was third.
The steepIechase, which was
chase of two miles and a half, was
accounted for by Toppy Nix. rather
nice looking lepper from the string
OF Tim Donohue. Toppy Nix just
missed his last victory by half a
length but despite this fact he was
almost overlooked in the betting to-
day and as a result he paraded to
the post at almost to /. He fenced
boldly and won by a length from
Robert oliver. with Melos. G. Nibbs'
jumper, a rather distant third.
The nightcap was annexed by ].
A. Parrish's good sprinter Bulse. at
good odds. with Lucullite. from the
string of Sam Hildreth. second. and
Commander Ross Motor Cop third.
The winner. running his usual race.
was slow to begin, and came from
behind with a great burst of speed.
He swung wide entering the stretch,
but was too good for the others. and
won rather easily in a drive from
Lucullite. The latter ran an i'm
pToNtu dCt, anu III uO at
the next outing.
Sunnyland. another outsider. took
the second number. with Cobalt Lass
second and Currency third. Bolster
won the sixth. with Woodthrush Sec
ond and Buck board third.
The Bowie fall meeting opens to-
morrow afternoon. and everything is
prepared for one of the most sue
cessful seasons ever enjoyed at the
Southern Maryland course. The Off
GERS are optimistic over the outlook.
and good fields have been arranged
on the card opening day. Strong sta
bles have quartered at the track.
and it is possible that the best class
of horses and jockeys that have ever
performed at Bowie will be on hand
to liven matters. Almost every sta
Bile that raced at Pimlico has already
