boro Expected to Draw
Big Entries.

Local race fans will get their taste
Z fall racing next Thursday with the
, .pening Of the three-day race meeting
I the Southern Maryland Agricultural
Eair Association at Upper Marlboro.
This little course situated In one OF
he most picturesque sections Of the
state Is easily accessible to this city
.ither by railroad or automobile SO
hat It is more than likely that a ban
ter crowd will make the trip from
iere each day.
That there will be many thorough
Jreds on hand for the meeting there 10
% doubt, for already O hundred are
.Iuartered at the track while others
are arriving each day from various
,ections Of the State where they have
summered. In addition to these
several, car loads are expected daily
from the New York tracks.
The MANAGEMENT has issued the
program books for the three days.
There will be six races run each day
with a value of 500. in addition to
which a handicap of $500. value will
be decided. This has attracted many
of the owners with the first class rae
ing material in their barns SO that
any thoroughbreds seen on the big
tracks In this State will also be seen
under colors during the meeting at
Upper Marlboro.
Many of the stables now at the
track are well known to turf fol-

that she will win several races dur

no doubt be sent to the post in the

will take some beating for the front

famous for his habit of refrainine
from making a protest Of an umpire's s
decision, no matter how vitality that
decision affected his chances Of WIN

hement kicker when things 60 wrong
for him In the eighth inning Of
yesterdays game between the Giants
and Reds in Cincinnati, Umpire Rig
Ter called a third strike on Luque
when II appeared to Matty that the
delivery In question was far too low,
and he set up a below that could be
heard all over the big park. He
raved and stormed and gesticulated,
but Rigler merely smiled at his antics,
and Of course the protest was to no
avail.
