WINNERS IN A ROW

Chief, Lcbola and Dolores
to Victory.
BY HENRY V. KING.

Laverne Fator, whose riding recently
has caused him TO be severely criticised
py the public and reprImanded by horse
men, rode like Tod Sloan at the
Jamaica track yesterday afternoon. In
the parlance of the turf, he was on his
toes all day and rode three winners in
row. In each instance IT was his
superior Craftsmanship that enabled his
mount TO land the major portion of the
purse.
After being badly beaten on a bad
morse, Destination, in the first race. he
came back and landed Scottish Chief
nome ahead of band of platers in
the second event. In the third he had
tne leg up on Lebola and won with her

Ills riding OH all three horses was
IN striking contrast to his performances

yesterday he did everything a good
Jockey should do and earned the adj
miration of the big crowd of race goers
present
In the Cosmopolitan, a handicap for
racing mares of all ages at six fur
longs he outrode Earl Sande, who had
the leg up on George ID. Widener's Last
Straw. Fator got Dolores away from
the barrier on her toes and quickly
shot her 10 the front. Elected III.
ranged alongside OF him before tho first
sixteenth OF a mile had been covered.
But I'ator didn't become excited and
drive his mount to exhaustion He kept
his mounts neck in front until he saw
Elected begin to falter. Then he gave
Dolores free rein and she sprang away
to a big lead.
Sandc a Length Away.
While his mount was stepping. along
In front under slight restraint Sande
was messing Last Straw about until he
had her far in the rear and practically
out of the race. When Strengthened
out in the homestretch Last Straw be-
gan to run. She made up a lot of ground
but Fator kept Dolores going well
enough to win by a length. Last Straw
was second, length and half in front
Of Polythia.
Polly Ware, running in the colors of
c. Wilmington. and trained by w. T.
Anderson, sprang big surprise and en-
riched host of her friends in the fifth
race. She was backed heavily and went
to the post one of the favorites despite
the fact that in her last start at Aque-
duct she was beaten nearly furlong
by Valentia. At Saratoga Polly Vale
showed that she had a good burst of
speed by racing close to June Grass.
Firm Friend and Emotion. But after
that race she started several times
against the cheapest kind OF platers
and on each occasion she was beaten
off.
There was no doubt about her speed
esterday. She took the track at the
start and guided by Studer. little
Tia Juana jockey, made every post q
winning one. Before she had run half
mile she was twenty lengths in front
and during the run through the home
stretch she merely coasted to win eased
up by five lengths. She covered tire
one mile and seventy yards in the real
good time Of 1:l4.
Harry IT, Sinclair's Rigel, which was
scheduled 10 be auctioned on Thursday
but was Withdrawn from the sale at the
last minute, scored his third straight VIC
tory in the final. He followed Equinoctai
until n furlong from home. where Sande
gave him his head. lie bounded for
ward when free and won eased up by
three lengths. Equinoctial beat Pelion
half dozen lengths for the second end
Of the purse.
