SIX CONSECUTIVE VICTORIES i i Mad Hatter Continues on His Triumphal March Unmolested. e- Defeats Billy Kelly, Sir Barton and Other Stars in Sparkling Race. : : BAITIMORE, Mil., November 5. S. G. Hildreths Mad Hatter won his sixth consecutive victory today and showed one of the best performances of his career when he picked up 126 pounds and came from behind on the backstretch to win the Pimlico Serial Weight-for-Age Kace No. 2 in a driving finish from Billy Kelly. Mad Hatter was ridden by Ensor and had a scant length to spare at the finish. 5The mile was run in 1:38, a full second faster than the previous" track record for the distance. -J. K. Ii. Ross sent two to the post in this stake, .Sir Barton and Billy Kelly. Sir Barton, showing a flash of his old form, dashed to the front when .the start came and, outrunning his opponents to the first turn, drew away. Straightening out on the backstretch, Ensor sent Mad Hatter after the leaders with a rush and after passing the half-mile post took the lead. Billy Kelly, which had. been waited with, responded with a- great burst of speed when Kummer called on him and, after coming to the outside at the stretch turn, began wearing the leader down. Mad Hatter was not to be denied, however, and he outlasted the others when the final test came. Mooney, who had the mount on Sennings Park, lodged a claim of r foul against Billy Kelly, claiming that the latter was responsible for his being cut off at ihe. first torn, where he attempted to go through on the, lipide, - . . -..- j-Old .Metal, one of the starter in the Baltimore Steeplechase,, :,came out of the race in bad condition; , .The horse fell lame during the race and, was. pulled up the last half mile. Earlocker proved an easy winner. He was under restraint until after taking the eleventh fence, when he went to the front and- at the finish he had something in reserve, HIGH-PRICED YEARLING MAKES GOOD. Pampas, which was one of the high priced yearlings purchased by Commander Ross at the Saratoga sales in 1919, made good at the first time of asking, when he beat Trantula by a noso in the-, second race, a dash of three-quarters, for maiden two-year-olds. Pampas came from behind and, finishing, gamely, got np in the final strides to win by a nose. Foreground, the imported horse in the stable of J. PI "McGovern, has again gone wrong and will possibly be retired to the stud. Mr. McGovern has had several offers for the horse, among them one from the Williams Bros., who are anxious to place Foreground at the head of their stud iu Oklahoma.
