BALTIMORE, Nov. 8.--The Rancocas
stables Knobbie, j. s. Cosden's Blazes
and E. F. Cooney's Athlestan won the
Class A, B and C divisions respectively
OF the Pimlico Grand Handicap at a
mile here this afternoon. The victory
OF hnobbie made it double for Earl
Sande and for Rancocas as this stables
entry, Rigel and Whirlwind ran one,
Two IN the six furlongs event that was
third on the card.
.hnobble showed much the best foot
ofaany OF the Graded Handicap winners,
.pver track that was dull, if not slow,
ne gai!oped the mile in the excellent
tne OF l;39 fat. But Blazes, winner
OF the Class B division, furnished a
more startling surprise in other ways
as as the five-year-old son of Wrack-
Blazing Star, as one of the outsiders
pa1d S2S.10 for So ticket.
The sound horsemanship and iudp-
ment Of Sande were largely respon-
siole 81 for the double triumph of the
Kancoeas green and white: Especially
was this SO in regard to Knobbie's
Vlctory~-at least Sande's horse sense
as opposed to B. Marinellis nonsense.
Marinelli simply ruined all chance
OF the Glen Riddle Farms heavily
played Dinna Care by racing this horse
into the ground after the fashion that
ne murdered Oceanic the previous day
IN the mile and a half Bowie Handi-
cap. Dnna Care, off last in the field of
1ouf, was rushed at breakneck speed to
the outside all the way round the pad
dock turn. Marinelli rode as if in a
sprint and did not even take hold OF
ms horse after he had crowded three
lengths in front of Knobbie. The re.
SUIT was that Dinna Care had little left
after three quarters of a mile and
readily surrendered TO Knobbie when
challenged. Indeed, Baby Grand came
along in the last furlong and easily
took the place.
In the Class 3 Paul Jones ran sec.
ond to Blazes, with King Albert. the
tavorite, third. The field of nine was
wen strung out at the finish, spaces OF
three TN lengths separating the frst four
Inc nhe track was damp enough to suit
biazes, a superior ntudder, and he made
every post winning one.
Atheistan made a show of the field of
eleven In the last event or the Glass c
Graded Handicap. Butwell rated off
the early pace. He made his bid round
ing the home turn and drew away from
the others with consummate ease to
WIN pulling up by five lengths. Dream
Of Allah was second, while Bromelia
hello on just long enough to save the
show from the fast closing Quecreek
Boys Believe Me, which finished third
to Rlgel and Whirlwind in the third
race at three e-quarters of mile, put UP
a game finish and in another stride
would have nosed Whirlwind out of the
place Whirlwipd raced Boys Believe
N Ne into submission while Rigel laid off
me early pace, Sande came to the out
side of his stablemate at the stretch
turn but was doing his best to win by
length at the end. Whirlwnd weak,
ened IN the last, sixteenth and just
lasted to thwart the challenge of Bows
Believe Ne, which came on again in
the stretch.
Wilkes Barre, the favorite, won the
opening sprint of six furlongs, while
Specs" Crawford landed the chase
with Sea Master, another choice. Had
Ell Dorado not run out at the stretch
turn with little E. Bell there would
have been three winning favorites in
q row.
