BACK IN FORM
Highland Lassie Wins Sixth
Three Lengths Ahead Of
His Field.
My JERRY DOYLE.


Jockey Bill Humphries celebrated
his return to the saddle after his
recent accident by bringing home
Highland Lassie. about three
lengths ahead of his field in the
first section of the Annapolis
Handicap. the sixth race on the
card at Pimlico yesterday.
So many HORSES were entered IN
the Annapolis Handicap that thk
race was divided into two sections
running on the card as the sixth
and seventh races.
Humphries took his horse to the
front at the break, with Boxer
hanging on gamely. The stretch
turn proved the undoing of Boxer
and Highland Lassie showed his
running ability drawing away to a
safe lead and was let down at the
end. Boxer managed to get into
second place with Monocacy third.
Judge Winfield captured the Sec
ond section of the Annapolis Handi-
cap'by nose from Sky Pilot. Sky
Pilot opened a big gap in the back
stretch, and was going strong at
the end. Judge wIngfield closed with
a hard rush to nip Sky Pilot at the
wire. McAtee put up a very weak
ride on Sky Pilot, and with q little
stronger ride the newly formed Po-
tomac Stables fast campaigner
would have landed the brackets.
Lanius, George Widener's candidate
for the Preakness, showed his worth
as a sprinter in the Southern headi-
cap when he stepped the mile in lao
and beat such good ones as Flags,
Rhine Maiden. Johren and Philippe.
Sweep Up End went to the front
soon after the barrier. but could not
stand the pace and had to give up to
Lanius. who was going easily. Get
ting into the stretch the. Widener
gelding had things his way and won
driving. Flags. the odds-on favorite.
got place with Johren third.
By his performance yesterday
Lanius won many friends and II he
runs to his form OF yesterday in the
Preakness he will be the horse to
fear.
Coming from behind at the last
jump. Superhuman grabbed the hon
ors in the Glenmore Steeplechase. In
'fidel End raced himself to death in
the early running and tired badly.
Superhuman fenced nicely the entire
route and deserved the victory.
DR.. ]. s. Tyree. the local druggist.
shot one across in the baby race
when his Sea Pirate, a half-brother
to King Neptune, showed his heels to
his field and won easily. Getting off
to a long lead the Tyree colt easily
raced Greenmint into submission and
crossed the wire with a length to
spare.
King John made a runaway affair
of the second race when he got off to
a long lead and never was in danger.
Although he tired badly in the last
furlong. his lead held him safe until
he had crossed the wire.
