BALTIMORE. Nov. 24.-Marshall Cas-
sidy. son of the veteran New York
starter, stepped into the breach at
Bowie to-day when George T. Miller.
worried sick by the continued taunts
directed against him and his assist
ants, resigned after bad start Of the
fourth race. Cassidy. with that same
courage for which his father is noted,
was called upon to make three starts
on the front stretch while big crowds
lined the rails. He earned their cheers
by three good starts
The Bowie crowd has menaced Miller
on several occasions during the week
and some filed protests with the State
Racing Commission. That body warned
Miller yesterday to exercise more care.
Miller had been working under the i'm
preston that he had been ordered by
Steward Herman Conkling to discontinue
the use of the walk up start, and placed
himself on record with Judge at Large
Degarmendia early during the day.
Steward Conkling later denied that he
had issued any such orders.
slippery Elm Held at Post.
The start which finally prompted
Miller to resign came with the fourth
race. when Slippery Elm. notoriously
bad actor. was held after the break by
ali assistant. who was attempting to
remove a faulty adjusted nose twitch.
The Washington delegation had sup
ported. Slippery Elm with surprising
confidence, considering his recent races,
and their TRADE prompted Miller to
hand Manager Joseph +. O'Hara the
resignation. Cassidy Immediately gave
his new assistants whips and orders not
to- hold horses unless ordered
He also wired to New York for as
sistants, who are expected to report to-
morrow. Cassidy handled the starting
flag successfully at Juarez nine years
ago during the illness Of his father, and
has acted as assistant to the latter for
nine years. excepting the time he served
as Lieutenant during the war. Horse
men regard him as the logical successor
to his father on Jockey Club tracks II
he can maintain the standard set by his
father.
The appointment aroused new conf
dence among the regulars, who have
ranked continuously since the MI Fair
start of last. Wednesday, when that Ally

she had been heavily backed
Perfect Start In, Cinderella.
Young Cassidy maintained his iceberg
~poise until he got tie seven fillies in
the Cinderella Purse away In perfect
order. The speedy Gentility showed the
early way, followed closest by Fair
Phantom, ridden by Scobie In the Mont
fort Jones colors. Rounding the final
turn Gentility wavered and swerved
against Fair Phantom. but under Sco-
ble's strong handling she drew out to
win handily. Gentility was doing her
best to withstand Prudery. the Harry
Paynee Whitney candidate, who ran
kindly and who showed her best race OF
the meeting. Gentility was beaten but
not dishonored. Fair Phantom ran the
mile In 1:43. one OF the best efforts of
the meeting.
All over. winner OF the Autumn Con-
ISOLATION Handicap in which the Slippery
Elm fiasco occurred. had to be much the
best. The Quincy Stables colt was
abominably ridden by Marinelli, who
guided him all over the track through
the running mass which followed Super's
early pace. All Over scored by a leroth
over John Paul Jones, Super and the
four others
sly by LAY scored the first victory of
the meeting for the Harry Payne Whit
Eey colors when she spreadeagled seven
other smart misses In the six furlong
Bon Ton Purse. Lang had her away
flying, while Callahan snatched UP the
well backed Pow WOW at the break.
Comixa was driven out to take the place
from Amusement, the early attendant
at Fly by Days sizzling pace.
