MEHAN
WINS FIRST
Jockey Johnny McTaggart
Shows Good Judgment
in Handling Mount.


McTaggart. F., Davitts Fannie Me-
han, which was heavily backed In the
mutuels as a good thing. romped home
in the first race at the Bowie race
course yesterday afternoon in the
smart time Of IS 2-5 seconds, bettering
the track record for four furlongs by
one-fifth of a second. Mrs. Kate Ley
decker and Little Maudie. which ran
as the Mcbride entry in the race.
pushed the winner hard. but were
never able to get up close enough to
give any real competition.
Ootside OF the victory OF D. z. DIP
ble's Napoleon. who defeated such
good ones as Progressive, Kilmer.
Jabot and Brando. and rewarded its
supporters by paying 81 to 81 in the
mutuels, yesterday was another rather
formful day.
The Masquerader. w. Stormont's
good campaigner. came back in the
third race and defeated Just such a
field as shut him out of the money
when he ran Wednesday.
Master Karma, r. Hedley's star.
added more laurels to his career
when he passed the judges stand in
the fourth in front of Xylon. May w.
George W. Avery, and Josefina "a
rate. The veteran TroXler rode Mas
ter Karma, and used excellent judg-
ment to bring his mount to victory.
Jockey Denyse graduated when he
won his first mount on L. Blaschcl's
Tolerance, in the second race, which
was for maiden 3-year-olds. Tolerance
really figured TO win the race. but
he did not get the support he de-
served because the apprentice lad
rode him.
Two OF the events yesterday were
slightly marred by false starts. II
seems the barrier failed to respond
properly. permitting only the horses
on one side of it freedom. Starter
Eddie Tribe was forced to bring Mrs.
Kate Leydecker and Fannie Mehan
back after they had grabbed quite a
lead in the first race and again was
forced to refine the seven horses in
the third race. after a similar oc-
curence.
Louis F. Wagner's Caro- Nome came
very nearly repeating his victory OF
the first dav yesterday in the NTH
race when he ran a bang-up second TO
Napoleon. Caro- Nome paid SIZE for
a 50 ticket on the opening day. but
was much more favored in the bet
ting yesterday.
AS usual on Saturdays a card OF
unusual class is offered today and IN
every field the horses are closely
matched. Form students will have a
time to locate the winners
The feature race today will be THE
Springtime Handicap" for 3-year-olds
and upwards. and such good ones as
Tea Caddy. Charlie Leydecker. Start
ling and Iron Cross, end, will go to
the barrier in this event
There will be no 2-year-OId race to-
day. but it will hardly be missed in
view of the fact that seven corking
good fields have been gathered to-
gether to face the barrier during the
afternoon
