Commander Ross Celding
Goes Some in Philadel-
phia Handicap Race.

Havre De Grace, Nd. April ia
To that little wonderful Dick welles
gelding. Billy Kelly. today went the
Philadelphia Handicap. the feature
of Havre De Grace's brilliant pro-
gram. as everybody expected. but
this time the star of the stable Of
Comdr. ]. K. L. Ross was forced to
flash the fastest race of the season,
six furlongs in 1:12 2-5, to get the larg-
est portion of the $500 stake. But
Earl Sande, the contract rider for the
officer Of the British royal navy. went
to sleep seventy yards from home. and
Billy Kelly narrowly escaped defeat
by Charlie Lydecker. who is a clever
sprinter owned by Mrs. James Arthur.
who was second, while third went to
Star Hampton.
With the presence of an enormous
crowd and the betting unusually
brisk, the majority of the winners
paid fine odds, as generally proves
the case under such circumstances.
The form students got away to a
good start when the Kentucky
Stables Oleaster, the favorite. was
piloted home to victory by Troxler
in the opening scramble for two
year-olds, beating by a head Sandy
Mac. which paid $3.50 for the place.
But in the very next event the tai
ent received an awful bump when
A. l.. Donahue's Beauty Sleep. pay
ing $1O9.10 to each So ticket. broke
clear of the field in the stretch and
won going away from Zouave with
Cobalt third.
A fair racing devotee sitting just
back of the press box almost went
into Mysteries when the price was
posted on the infield board. She
held at 81 winning straight ticket.
and wasn't to be blamed for the
disturbance she caused the busy
chart writer's.
Another ton OF money was burned
up In the third race Of five and one
half furlongs when Comdr. Ross
Foreground, ridden by Sande and
prohibitive favorite in the machines.
failed to get any part of the purse.
Louise V won her first race Tor
Buck Foreman, who secured her from
Dick Carman at Bowie. when she
easily defeated the field in the fourth
affair Elected II, an outsider, was
always second. while Firing Line
beat Tommywaac a nose for the third
money.
