break in racing luck coupled with lit
tie Lang's good handling enabled Nut
.ikins, the three-year-old daughter Of
Star Shoot-Falcon, in Commander Ross
colors to show the way home to BY
Jimmy and Ave other good ones in the
Cinderella purse which with the Ameri-
can Remount Association handicap
were the features at Bowie to-day.
BY Jimmy, the favorite, was un-
doubtedly best In the seven furlong test
but she suffered In racing fortune. Ima
Frank and Vague, two speedy but
fainthearted mares alternated at the
pace for the first half mile, followed IN
order by Arrow of Gold and Jyntee,
while BY Jimmy followed MuttilSins.
closely pinned on the rail. Maryhead,
outclassed was a distant last then and
throughout.
Schwartz saw an opportunity to send
BY Jimmy to the outside on the turn
while Lang decided to die fighting along
the rail. That judgment won, for the
leaders went wide entering the stretch
and enabled Muttikens to 60 to the lead
while Schwartz was compelled to take
BY Jimmy to the extreme outside, los
ing several lengths.
Finally Strengthened out BY Jimmy
responded to urging with rare courage
but Muttikins's smartly acquired advar,-
tage was too great and she lasted to
win by neck after long drive. -Four
lengths back Arrow Of Gold saved third
honors in an equally hard drive over
Ina Frank. rt

Courteous, the aptly named six-year-
old son OF Marcovil-P Poltely. owned,
trained and ridden by Lieut.. Thomas
McCreery. was the easy victor in the
Reynount handicap In which the six
contestants were piloted over the two
mile route by army officers. Courteous
was the well backed favorite and iusti-
fed the support of the army delegation
from Washington. Raconteuse. ridden
by Major Erwin, showed the way for
three-quarters Of the journey, while
Lieut. McCreery kept Courteous under
stout restraint in second position. At
the final turn Haconteuse surrendered
and Courteous went into the lead, which
he increased to five lengths at the
finish. Gold Review, an irish thorough
bred. making his racing debut and rid
den by Major Stanley Koch. was dis
tant third. As Courteous passed the
finish Hand Grenade Cd had just COM
pleted the mile and six furlongs, but he
finally made the finish 10 the cheers of
the crowd Lieut.. McCreery was pre-
sented with a silver trophy by the
Southern Maryland Agricultural Asso-
citation.
Lang and Schwartz divided honofs,
each with two winners. Lang's second
bracket was quite as cleverly accom-
plished with Lady Lillian as the first
had been. He kept the Hasklns ally
under wraps and attended the odds on
favorite Tantaius through the smiddle
running and made the cali at the right
moment SO that Lady LILLIAN drew out
to win by length. Tantalus made his

Garrison proved surprise in the
opener when he took the measure or the
prohibitive favorite Fitzgibbon. The
latter dominated the running for the
greater part OF the way. but fell an
easy victim to Clarkson's challenge
through the final eighth. Finnish Maid
was distant third. w
