L axes Feature
Race at Empire
Rancocas Stable Filly Runs
impressively in Winning
$1,000 Sprightful Stakes
By w. ]. Macbeth

The Rancocas Stables wo~year-old
flly, Rose Brigade, won the Spright-
full Selling Stakes of $4,000, the fea-
ture event of the racing program at
Empire City racetrack yesterday
afternoon Under a clever ride by
Laverne Fator the speedy daughter
of Short Grass-Tapioia sprinted home
length and half in front of James
Buffers Picnic in the very credita BILE
time of Ito Is for the short six
furlongs. The victory was worth
$2,l85 to the winner
The contest for the place was keen
Picnic, r.. T. Wilson'S Duncecap and
r. Penn Smith jr.'s Fifty-Fifty came
fashlng past the judges in the order
named, only scant noses apart. 1t
was one of the keenest betting races
OF the meeting, a world of money
hoodlng in on Picnic and Fifty-Fifty
at the last minute.
Mars Cassidy got the field of seven
Off to a good start. Pastoral went out
at the start and attempted to race the
favorlte into the ground The Whit
tough and exploded after quarter
mile, dropping quickly back into
the ruck. Then McAtee decided he
would take a crack at the pacemaker
with FiftyFifty. A furlong was quite
enough to cook Fifty-Fifty's goose.
Picnic Gets the Place
After the field had Strengthened for
the short run through the stretch Cal
lahan came along with Picnic. And for
the third time Rose Brigade proved her
self a real Thoroughbred She raced
Picnic drunk and dizzy, but had to be
hustled a bit inside the sixteenth pole.
h. T. Wilson's Duncecap, which is a
SLOW beginning, came to the outside and
closed .resolutely From the sixteenth
home it was pretty three-cornered
fight among him, Picnic and FiftyFiftv
for the place and not till the numbers
were hung out was any one certain of
the placings.
Jockey Joe Mooney, who rides for the
Quincy Stable, proved his gameness in
the last race, a dash of about six fur
longs for maiden two-year-old colts and
geldlngs, when he scored with Raw Law
In the fifth race Mooney had the leg m
on Pansy, which fell with him in lam
on the backstretch. The boy was Sc
verely shaken up, but he rode Raw Jaw
fdence. WI
in his last previous apnear,nce
Saturday, Ray Jay was badly left AZ
the post when he bolted. He raced
past his entire field to what seemed
apparent victory inside the sixteenth
pole Then Mooney made the mistake
OF plying his whip and the good colt
stopped momentarily and was beaten a
short nose. Yesterday Mooney rated
nay Jay off the pace of June Grass
till Strengthened for home. He cana
on then and won ceverly.
John Sanford's Snob I'd finished :.
good third. This one ran good race
anu Will bear watching. Snob I'd was
one OF the many tips. The wise ones
tfled to knock down Ray Jay with Snob,
Lucky Hour Ca son of Hourless). Oil
NAN, June Grass and one or two others.
Everything that went to the post was a
tip -
Rancocas Scores Twice
The Rancocas Stable scored another
double Mad Halter was pounds best
IN the first race at mile and a six
eeenth and simply galloped to the
easiest sort Of victory. He beat
Charles A. Stonham's Recount fen
lengths, while Recount showed the wav
to Quecreek by nearly half the dis
lance.
j. j. Hallenbeck's Lunetta won the
second race at about six furlongs. The
Boy and Guv'nor fought it out most of
the way. Lunetta, shufHed back at the
start and carried wide into the stretch
turn, closed with a great rush and got
up in the very last stride to nose out
Guv'nor. Fator's excellent finish with
Lunetta was one of the outstanding
features of the afternoon.
The biggest upset of the afternoon
developed in the fifth race, at a mile
and seventy yards, when Jock Scot,
the odds-on favorite, tired toward the
end and had to be content with third
place. Nohant, backed from ~ to to
to 1, was much the best, and won
easll y after keeping off the early pace.
Flrate MCGEE, rank outsider, hosed
Jock Scot out of the place.
