unsuccessful attempts to get dowr
In front, Red sox, from the Jeffords
stable, beat Tombolo by a nose m
the Convoy Purse, the feature race
OF the card here today.
On her toes at the break. Red Sox
made the rest of the field look like
they were chasing him for the en-
tire scamper of mile. The green
and white colors of the Jeffords sta
Die showed in front until the six
teenth pole, when Ensor, on Tombolo
began to ride his mount out, but too
late to catch the Jeffords geIding
So close was the finish that hackers
OF Tombolo held tight to their tickets
until the result was made official
Repeating his good race of Sat
urday. Franklin annexed the lone
end of the purse in the Victory Lib
erty Bond Handicap. Had it moi
been that Aurum was caught dead
at the break the hackers of Franklin
would have many aIibis to tell their
listeners. Franklin had the advan-
tage and made every post a winning
one, while Aurum was practically
N''S BooN anu ran over HIS
held; but the lead held by Franklin
was too much and he could not catch
the leader. While a lot of wise
money went in the machines on
Valor, the best the Ward colt could
90 was to run in the show position,
The green and white colors of the
Jefrords stable were in front again in
the Peerless Purse for two-year-olds
when Routeledge with Ambrose in
the pilot house annexed the brackets.
Routeledge was off to an early start
ana went merrily on her way in front
OF her field for the distance. Knot.
the favorite in the betting, stumbled
and almost vent to her knees at the
break but found her racing legs in
time to grab the place position. His
Sister, the chestnut fiIly belonging to
A. l.. Aste, finished third
Jockey Kelsey. who had the mount
on Daydue in this race. had a spill
over the fence when the fractions
Daydue holted suddenly. The boy
was uninjured other than a severe
shakeup.
A good thing went wrong in /he
sixth race when MOnomoy show ed
his bsSkers he was as good on a
fast track as he is in the mud when
he grabbed off the honors and paid
a little better than s to l. The
much touted good thing Blackboard
was up in the running for he en-
tire hike of mile and a sixteenth
but only got up IN time to finish
third. Peerless One from the Nc
Lean stable weakened in the final
drive.
Sandman End came from nowhere
in the seventh race TO take down
the purse. DR.. Campbell was second
with Arbitrator third.
The eighth race proved a grand
scamper when twelve horses faced
starter Milton. At the break BRAY
ado and Dolina were away gallop-
ing, In the stretch Bravado drew
away in time to get the decision
with DOlina second and Eddie Henry
third.
w. F. Knebelkamp had an easy
time in the hop when he disposed OF
Pebeto at the ninth jump and won
galloping. Turner. on KnebeIkamp
began his ride at the ninth jump and
had everything his way until the
numbers were posted.
Charlie Leydecker made every post
winning one in the first race and
won easily. Blazeaway was second
