BOWIE, Md, Nov 24.--The players
of form suffered heavy losses when
Ballet Dancer II, the favorite, finished
second in the feature race. the Ma
hubah Purse, here this afternoon. The
event was won by My Dear. which beat
out Ballet Dancer by half a length.
The Fitzsimmons mare got off slowly
and did not forge to the front until
the middle of the backstretch was
reached. Here she was challenged by
Wood Violet, and these two raced neck
and neck, when My Dear came along
and nosed out Ballet Dancer in the
drive.
The defeat of Ballet Dancer was
only one surprise in day of upsets.
Caprose took the opening event from a
field Of maiden three -year-olds and
paid q bic price-$44.40 on a 81 ticket,
to be exact The finish of this race
was very close, and blanket could
have covered six of the horses as they
reached the wire.
Jimmy Butwell rode masterly race
on Tingling in the second event. His
mount beat out Gilt Fringe, the favor
lite. in driving finish. Two other
surprises occurred when Vive McGee
captured the third race and when

ner in the fifth event. The latter had
shown no form whatever in her previ-
Gus starts and had been beaten regu-
larly by ten or twelve lengths.
