BE FRANK AN
EASY WINNER
Ensor Pilots Calumet Stable
Colors in Front in Po-
tomac Handicap.

card of last Saturday today's racing
at the Maryland State Fair appeared
a triffle tame, although two handl-
caps were decided. Be Frank, from
the Calumet stables, romped down in
front an easy winner in the Potomac
handicap. while ]. H. Rasseter's
Passing Showers landed the honors in
the Glendale liberty bond handicap.
These stakes were the features of
the afternoon entertainments.
The cross country affair in which
Elysian from the Donohue stalls ran
first, caused great excitement as two
OF the Jumpers fell in making the two
mile route. The balance of the card
was more than ordinary although
the small assembly present were
given a thrill in the sixth race when
Jockey Hun riding in the Moore silks
on Zinnia was thrown from his mount
IN front of the judges stand in this
mile and seventy yard hike
Jockey Ensor. from the METROPOLITAN
| tracks, made his debut in Maryland
by capturing the honors in the first
! race on Manoevre and followed up by
placing Duchess Lace in second posi-
tion in the third while he brought Be
/ Frank down in front in the feature
of the afternoon. Ensor in his other
two mounts was out of the money.
! When Billy Kelly was scratched
out or the Potomac handicap 1t ap-
peared good thing for Be Frank
The starter, James Milton, pulled one
OF his very few poor starts right in
front of the stand in this mile race.
Be Frank was left flat footed at the
post, but through clever riding by
Ensor he made up some distance in
the first two furlongs and in the
back stretch he challenged Trans
, late, who was trailing Mormon. the
leader. by two lengths. At the half
way mark Ensor made his move
and soon was neck and neck with
Translate. This clever little Mary
land pilot made his bid at the half
mile pole and although he was Civ
ing heart-breaking thrills with
Translate, he turned into the stretch
a length behind the leading Nor
mon. Ensor took the overland
route and was not forced to use the
whip in placing the Calumet colors
first under the wire.
Bulse appeared to be a sure win
ner in the fifth race. which was the
Liberty bond purse, but after a bril-
liant ride Callahan managed to push
Passing Showers in front of the
Parrish 5-year-old. Dr. johnson,
who was equally played with Bulse,
entered the place position after be-
ing given a poor ride by Ambrose.
The jumping event proved the real
feature of the afternoon as seven
| starters took to the green, but only
| -FOUR acknowledged their whips at the
| judges stand at the finish. Bonne
Cause set the pace in this two-miIe
event until Erickson. on Elysian, made
his move at the next to the last jump,
winning from this distance as he
pleased. Royal Arch. Capt Rail PARIS
entry. threw his jock at the first jump.
| Jockey Smith was severely shook up
but there was no fatal injury although
the balance of the horses ran over
him Impartiality and Bonne Couse,
the pacemaker, over the mile route,
fell at the eighth hedge. Both Jock
eys rolled over and could have recover
ed their mounts had'not Cherry Stone
! been in too close. Water Tost anc
| Donnarelle had an easy time landing
the place and show.
Favorites were balled over in six
| of the eight events, as Ensor started
the trouble in the first when he won
with Manoevre. Dainty Lady was
second and Christie HoIteTs third In
the third Fleeing Sheik nodded to the
| Judges as a winner from thirteen
starters in this six furlong dash. while
Duchess Lace landed the place and
Bagheera, the favorite, was forced to
take third.
Happy Valley scored in the sixth
event. beating Goldcrest Boy and Sam
| 70 ha vii
while the favorite, Col. Cluff. was no
where to be found. In the seventh
| Widow Bedotte, along with Gala
Dress and Wodan, scored in the money
while the only Yodeling, the public's
choice. was knocked down. Queen of
the Sea nosed out Dan and Valais in
the eighth number of the card.
