CHEAP RACES
MAKE UP CARD
Inferior Fields Face Barrier
in Featureless Day at
Havre de Grace.

Hsvrs de Grace, Nd, Sept. Irwin
Iarg. and inferior fields, the day was
devoid of thrills at Havre de Grace
this afternoon. Most OF the races
carded attracted large fields OF cheap
3-year-olds, and in several instances
rbe fields were composed almost
wholly Of halr-mile horses. The card
for tomorrow, however. promises far
better and more spirited sport.
The nearest approach to a feature
event for the afternoon was the third
number which attracted almost
score Of sprinters. Murphy, who Is
an old favorite on the Maryland
courses, managed TO step down In
front leading Master Karma, who was
second by a safe margin. Helen At
kIns, usually a forerunner, managed
10 close IN rapidly at the end and
finished third.
Murphy, who paid slightly better
than four TO one, was almost an even
favorits with several Of the other en-
tries in the large fields. Much inter
ference was noticed in the running OF
the race and II Is thought that races
Of this nature are not popular with
officials.
The hrst race, which was for 2-year-
olds, was at a distance OF fve and a
half furiongs. and attracted a large
field Of cheap youngsters. DR.. Rae,
Who ran in a number OF races on the
local tracks in the spring, led his
HeId from the barrier to the judges
stand and easily copped with plenty
ID reserve. Susan NJ, an unknown
quantity. ran second. and Marion
collins, tiring rapidly, saved third.

interesting OF the afternoon II was
carded for maiden three-year-olds and
seven thoroughbreds faced the starter.
The event was handily won by Thrift
with Candidate second. and Jack
Dawson third.
The fourth number was productive
OF one Of the finishes OF the afternoon.
Douglas 5, who was formerly a
handicap horse on the Kentucky
tracks, returned TO his own when he
ran from q slow beginning to win
easily. Julia l.. also a former hsndt-
cap horse. was second and Lazy Lou
was third.
Boxer. who ran the other day and
landed a purse. was heavily backed.
but failed to get any portion of the
purse. Fairy Legend. paying slA3
accounted for the fifth race. which
a a
Up. a notorious half miller. second.
and Birman third The place and
show horses also paid sweet prices.
The sixth event went to Ben Hamp-
son in rather handy fashion with
Hayden at $50 the runner up. and
Tho Belgian Second the show horse.
The latter was the favorite, but was
given rather a weak ride by Mergler.
The night cap was taken by Trial by
Jury. the odds on favOrite. with hlee-
ger in the saddle. The winner was
easily best Of the entries and when
called upon by his pilot easily out
distanced his field.
Jessie g and Darkey ran second and
third. respectively. Star Shooter,
who ran such promising race several
days sso ran unplaced. The sum-
