CLANSMAN AGAIN WINS j Continues His Victorious March by Third Straight Success. h he Pilgrim Once More a Disappointment Colando Shows Another Good Performance. d; . n tl LAUREL, Md., October 20. It was an off- sl day card programmed at Laurel Park this afternoon and while a claiming handicap was o of accorded the feature position Clansman, rac- P ing for his new owner, A. Alexander, contin- ued his winning ways and scored his third victory, this time at a mile and an eighth, tJ from C. P. Winfreys Trevelyan, with AV. A. Bucks Lunetta third. The field of five that 5 faced the starter were recruited from the I: ranks of three-year-olds and over at an en- tl tered price of ,000, and Trevelyan was in- ? stalled first choice. The start found the field leaving in good alignment, while Clansman j. began from the extreme outside, but Martin 0 had him away quickly and before the first j J. turn was reached Clansman was in the van, followed by Trevelyan, with Lunetta in third - position and Rubidium and Vitamin farther back. Rounding the bend there was a general closing up and Smallwood went to the inside g S. with Trevelyan, while Lunetta was forced to q circle the others. Clansman was sharply s roused at the stretch turn and drew away s into a slight lead, while Lunetta began to tire. Trevelyan was closing fast next to j, the inner rail, but the winner had sufficient g left to hold him safe through the final six- j teenth. r Pilgrim disappointed again this afternoon j if in the running of the fourth race, which j was at one mile, and Clyde Phillips furnished ,. the winner in Colando, which repeated his c winning race of earlier in the week. Colando j was hustled to the front by Wallace at the j start and dominated the running throughout. Bromelia was in second place, with Jock t Scot third. Pilgrim was on the inside and evidently does not fancy the going at Laurel c and Parke was of but little assistance to him in the race. j IDEAL RACING COXDITIOS. 1 Racing conditions this afternoon were all that could be desired and as a result another j j f large crowd journeyed to the course.
