Heavy Going,
Winning Race
Bad Day for First Choices
OH New Orleans Track;
Who Cares Scores

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-Over a
sloppy track and in drizzlng rain
storm G. W. Forman's Bolster a five
year-old chestnut gelding by Marco
Permia, again proved his liking for
heavy going at one mile and seventy
yards here to-day when he finished
first in the United States Marine
Handicap, the fourth and feature event
on the program. The Forman entry
disposed Of Woodtrap and General
Glenn, who finished in the order
named. Madge f, CoLrtship, Tippo
Sahib and Blairgowie were among the
other starters.
Ambrose had the mount on Bolster
and brought him home under hard
drive. AS good as , to l was obtain
able against his chances at post
time. In his last eight starts, includ-
ing to-day, Bolster had never finished
further back than second, and on that
occasion he brought down third money,
1t was another bad day for the fol-
lowers of first choices, as only two
finished first in the Sc en- events. Joe
Tag, a ~ to | shot, started the ball
rolling in the opening race by beating
home Silver Springs. who finished
second. In the second race the best
Minute Man, the oddson choice, could
do was to finish second to Bullet Proof
With odds as good as 10 to against
Who Cares in the third race he
and War Mask. Dottie Nandiver and
Wadsworth's Last were the only two
favorltes to catch the judges eye as
/ they passed under the wire in the
fifth and sixth races respectively
while the seventh race was won by
J. c. Stone, who beat Bajazet and
Dolly
The heavy track was responsible for
large number of scratches. Vida
rode two winners and finished third
in another race.
