ROUND THE WORLD IN FORM. W. G. Yankes Crack Filly Wins Overnight Handicap at Juarez Track. El Paso. Tex., December 20. Round the World, conceding weight to every starter in the race, won the overnight handicap at Juarez today in a manner that shows she has regained her best form. Outpaced by Follle Lery and Dr. Dougherty all the way to within lifty yards of the Jinish, she closed with a tremendous burst of speed and got up right at the end to win by half a length. Follie Levy showed more speed than she has of late and set a fast pace all the way. Dr. Dougherty made It interesting for her, however, and raced right along with her. With him out of the race, the Odom Ally probably would have won. Favorites more than held their own during the days racing and the ring made no profit. Dudo was claimed out of the lirst race by G. H. Keene for 1911.sh25, but it Is more than likely that the claim was of the friendly order. Starter Cassidy suspended jockey Small for ten and gave Callahan live days tor disobedience at the barrier. A number of the races were attended by exceedingly close finishes and this caused considerable enthusiasm among the spectators.
