both prizes.
Sam Graham, who is right at home
on these courses here, Is going strong
and playing IS good golf as anybody
here. Graham is being figured on as
Adair's rival.
Standish and Weber, who are both
in good trim, have been playing excel
lent golf here the past week, and no
body would be greatly surprised if
either should come through.
The last man who should be counted
out of the running is Francis Ouimet.
The Bostonian had another poor round
for him to-day, but it is quite likely he
will show complete reversal of form
in match play. Ouimet is not himself
physically. and it is surprising he is
playing we'll at all. Yet many are back
ing the eX-champion to come through.
1t will be remembered that Ouimet
played remarkable golf in the amateur
meet last summer when he should have
been in bed, and the fact that he is
able to be on his feet is enough to give
his supporters confidence.

BALTIMORE, April 1.-The threat
ening weather had no effect upon the
large crowd of racing enthusiasts that
made the trip to the Bowie track to-
day to help welcome back the thorough

months. The attendance was perhaps
one OF the largest that has ever passed

forenoon helped to improve tho going,
but tast time was out of the question.

seven furlong route, attracted fine
field and Slippery Elm romped home
an easy winner. The early part of
the race was a real contest, Slippery
Elm and Ormonda hacing head and hea d
TOR the first halfmile; then the mare
mad enough and hung out distress sig
nails, while the favorite went into a
long lead, and From there to the finish
had no trouble to win by two lengths.
Ormonda showed her gameness bv hold
ing on and saving the place by a head,
with Romeo third.
The two-year-old event, first on the
card. produced thrill for the crowd
when the first three horses came to the
finish heads apart, with Tanson gain
ihg the decision. He was favoritc. and
Roscoe Troxler had to put up one of
his' oldtmc rides to make the young
ster last it out.
Johnny Dundee had the pleasure of
seeing his horse, War Mask, win for
the first time since he secured him last

lurlongs, and forced to overcome inter
ferences in the carly running he out
