Are Divided
By 2 Jockeys

Double Winner; Vibrate
Beats Wilson's Dry Moon
BY w. ]. Macbeth

Jockeys j. Mooney and c. Hummer
divided racing honors at the Jamaica
track yesterday afternoon. Each rode
two winners While Hummer twice
landed the brackets and finished sec
ond with his only other mount, Mooney
squared this by taking the feature, as
we'll as by finishing third with 20 to l
shot. He had four mounts and once
finished unplaced.
Moneys greatest achievement of the
afternoon-and his most popular-was
the winning of the Lynbrook Selling
Stakes, of $4,000 added, dash of five
and half furlongs, for year-olds,
with the Quincy Stables chestnut filly,
Vibrate. To accomplish this stroke
Mooney had to beat not only R. T..
Wilson's fine colt, Dry Moon. but
Buddy Ensor as we'll And Ensor is
rated pounds best of the jockeys in
these parts just now.
To the lay mind odds-on favorites
not always appeal, but to students of
clear nights. The professionals boarded
Dry Moon as if the colt had virtual
walkover and hammered his odds from
3 to to l to at post time. The un-
professional, which always means the
maj jorty, was ready to grab at limb
and so took a chance on Vibrate.
Though truth to tell, this same Vibrate
looked like a dead limb as she took
her warming up gallop.
Vibrate Appeared Gouty
She looked anything but a dainty
maid as she made her preliminary bow
before being saddled. She looked
rather decrepd, rheumatic, gouty
old grandmother with corns and
bunlons,, not to mention chills and
ague. She came out on the track in
heavy front bandages and Oregon
boots, and the bandages had the ap-
pearance of containing everything
the kitchen stove included. Vibrate
seemed so sore on her front feet as to
( De unable to work up a canter. Even
the pony that accompanied her looked
/ sheep-faced.
Vlbrate looked still sore as she went
TO the post. But at the post she left
her soreness behind. Mooney was very
alert at the barrier and was off with
such rush as to make both Dry Moon

stretch and rolled home on the chin
strap.
The second race, at mile and sew
enty yards, was just as easy for Frank
Regan's old mare, Dorcas. The switch
from d. Hopkins to Ensor did not stul-
tlfy this ones chances in the eyes OF
the public and Dorcas was played for
the good thing she was. Ensor allowed
Weiner to set the pace with Marie An.
tolnette for about three quarters of a
mile. Then he rolled home lust as
he pleased. Alma B.. the only other
starter, was always badly outrun.
