Baby Sister Captures Purse
In Liberty Bond Feature

Today may be the last that racing
will be permitted at the Bowie race
course and a banner crowd OF turf
enthusiasts from the nearby vicinity
and a goodly representative Of old
timers who hold a sentimental regard
for this historic course are expected
to find their way out this afternoon
to witness an excellent card provided
for the final day of the best spring
meeting ever held at the track Al
though the track will not be much
better than il has been through the
rough weather Of the past few days,
from indications all will be clear over
head, which, after all. counts the
most with a Saturday afternoon
crowd.
Yesterday the horses ran closer to
form than they have for the past two
days, and each of the seven winners
in as many events were well backed
in the machines.
Local talent was in the foreground
yesterday afternoon when the Liberty
Bond Purse race slipped around. as
Baby Sister, owned by the Potomac
stable. an establishment Just formed
by two Washington men. won this
event. Baby Sister was hard put by
Huda's Brother and Rosewater. but
neither OF these proved good enough
TO get the decision from her. Dr.
Charcot was rather favored in this
race. but he fell down miserably and
failed to repeat his good performance
of Wednesday.
Somewhat Of a surprise was sprung
in the first race when Tiger Rose.
from the Brighton stable, romped
home in easy fashion. Tiger Rose and
John Powers ran on the same ticket,
but II was expected that John Powers
would put up the performance which
would WIN the purse
Jockey McAtes copped honors at
the track yesterday when he won two
races. the first on Tiger Rose and
the fourth on Baby Sister. Other
jockeys who had winning mounts
were Troxler. Doyle, Stalker, Rod
riguez and Hummer.
Mrs. Edward Arlington's Scarpia II
took down the second race from the
odds-on favorite Wiley. Sorcerer II
accounted for the third event in easy
fashion, ridden by the veteran Trox-
Ter.
Silk Bird, owned by A. Bulcrott.
proved his class in the fifth race
when he beat Garish Sun to the tape.
Red Post was made odds-on favor
orite, but he failed to deliver.
Jockey Rodriguez kept up his record
of winning at least one race each day
when he brought home Comacho in
the sixth. Jockey Stalker was all
smiles" when he returned to the
dressing room after plotting Lord
Herbert to victory over Jockey Rice
and Petelus in the nightcap.
