FINE FIELDS READY
FOR RACES MONDAY
Prince Georges Handicap and
the BurCh Memorial Biz
Events of Day.

~ OWE, Md, November 16.-No
- better field of horses has been
assembled in Maryland this
H. year than that which will race
at this track Monday which
begins the final lap Of Maryland's Au-
tumn season.
Although the Prince George (Au-
tumn) Handicap. a race of mile and
a sixteenth for 3-year -olds is the fea-
ture event of the card, there will be
Just as much interest, If not more, in
the running of the w. P. Burch Me-
mortal, a dash of three-quarters of a
mile for 3-year-olds and upward. This
event is listed as the third race of the
program.
Among those entered in the w. P.
Burch Memorial are MiSstep and Vic
torian. This pair met last year in the
Southern Maryland Handicap, Bowie's
richest race, and Misstep was returned
the victor by the narrowest of margins.
1t will mark their first meeting since
then, for Victorian hasn't started since
his effort in the Dixie Handicap in the
Spring at Pimlico. Misstep, however, has
been campaigning throughout the year.
Misstep also is entered in the Shen-
andoah, race of mile and sixteenth
for 3-year olds and upward. the fifth
event of the card. It's probable, how
ever, he will go in the Burch Memorial
as he is getting ready for the Southern
Maryland Handicap, which probably will
be worth $55,000.
Glen Wild May Be Saved.
Although Glen Wild, owned by DR.. J.
Fred Adams of Baltimore, has been en-
tered with 16 others in the Prince
George He is said to be opposed to
running the colt with 1875 pounds up. as
he wants to save him for the $4,000
Southern Maryland Handicap, to be
run later in the meeting.
Glen Wild has done everything ex-
pected of him in morning trials, but his
owner think that with big field going
postward Monday, he would be taking
too many chances of knocking him out.
If Glen Wild doesn't start, Karl Eitel
will carry toy weight, 124 pounds. The
last named will be making his first start
in Maryland.
DR.. Frecland, which raced so we'll at
Pimlico, also will be among the starters.
However, the race followers are dubious
of his chances in that he has won a
race on no track this year other than
the Pimlico strip.
Sun Beau, which has won his last
five races, including four big stakes, IS
scheduled to start in the Shenandoah.
Sun Beau didn't start during the PiIn-
leo meet. He was eligible for the
Bowie Handicap and the Pimlico Cup,
both of which we're won by Diavolo,
but was freshened up for the Southern
Maryland.
All Fields Well Filled.
Eighteen are entered in the Burch
Memorial and 10 in the Shenandoah.
All of the other fields are well filled
out.
The card will open with dash of
three quarters Of mile, which attract
ed an entry list of 90 Frumper, which
has been consistently close, is expected
to be the public choice.
The Bowie track is exceptionally fast.
Horses that were working halves in 50
seconds at Pimlico are stepping 1t in
49 seconds at the Southern Maryland
oval.
In view of the fact that Bowie will
meet with no opposition from any other
track, Latonia having closed today,
the attendance is expected to be ex-
ceptionally large.
James F. O'Hara, general manager
of the Bowie plant. is at home in Tow
son, recuperating from a long illness,
but is expected to attend the meeting
at some period before its end.
