After several unsuccessful at
tempts to land brackets, Air Man,
carrying the coIors of wilfred Viau,
at last found her racing legs and
captured the Howard Handicap, at
Pimlico yesterday after a hard
drive.
At the break Air Man and Mono
moy were off in front, closely fol-
lowed by Obofus. who was installed
favorite in the betting, and Barry
Shannon, the second choice, bring
ing up the rear.
Air Man kept to a safe distance
although at times she was hard
pressed by Monomoy. At the stretch
turn the horses were well punched,
but Air Man was going strong and
won handily. The stretch run
prived to much for Monomoy. and
Obolus came from behind with a
rush for the place and Monomoy
was set down third.
Game Cock proved that he was
the best horse in the race when he
won the Liberty Loan Purse. from

At the start Bughouse drew OF to
good lead. but the pace was too
much. and she dropped back. Hap
py Valley. racing steadily. went to
the front at the stretch turn with
the favorite, Blazonry. q close third.
Game Cock. who was running next
to last, came up with a rush in the
stretch and walked over Happy VAL
ley and Blazonry for the decision.

Rose were carried to victory in the
Baltimore Steeplechase when his
fencer Dramaturge came from be-
hind and won at the wire. All the

well punched and Dramaturge sue
ceeded in landing the decision with
Big Four a close second and First
Out third.
