Dick Welles Selections At Fairmount Park SAXI ALW 00--MMtt01 — HI KKI OM. The J. R Cloner racer. SAXDAhWOOD, is our selection to be victorious in the opening stanza, a three-quarters dash. He meets up with some ordinary ones and, if he were to race in his l est form, would have no trouble at all of collecting the winners portion of the purse. The only one entered that seems to be capable of giving SANDALWOOD any kind of an argument is NIM-ROP. This son of Under Fire has finally reached winning form, he being victorious in his last start. The same effort today would very likely see him nearest to SAX-PAJ.WOOD at the end of the run. DUKEDOM gets the call for the show. He is on the improve, and one of his good raeeswould see him landing in that position. CAPTAIN APPLEJACK— KUM KALESSI -FRANK ANDREWS. Maiden juveniles are to show their wares in the second number, a sprint of five-eighths. Of thtse, CAPTAIN APPLEJACK seems to he the most likely winner. He has been turning in some good performances of late and, if he were to show any improvement at all over his last start, think he would be able to win here. KUM KALESSI. a Kee.ne-bred filly, came near upsetting the dope in nor last out,, when she finshed second to Ma joe. It was a good effort for her. and we think, if shu would put forth the same brand of racing today, would be the one to grab the place. FRANK ANDREWS race behind Laurel Hall the other day gives him the preference for the show. ELIAS O.— TALEQUA— LEE .ADRIN. The Lebanon Purse, over the mile and a sixteenth route, is framed for platers, and twelve were entered. Of these, the recent winner, ELIAS O., seems to have the best chance at the prize. His last race was one to indicate that he is going to be a hard horse to beat today, for he raced like a good one on that occasion. The Flitter-gold gelding, TALEQUA, is given the call for the place on his showing the time before last In that appearance, he beat some ordinary ones with many lengths to spare. His next out was not impressive but, should he race as he is able to, think he can take care of the place position. LEE ADRIN may be in a running mood today and, if so, will be the one to beat for the show end of the purse. SPATS— LESTER DOCTOR— ODD SETH. The gelded son of Sain. SPATS, which races for Mrs. T. J. Carroll, dopes as the most probable winner of the day in the three-quarters dash to be run as the fourth. He won his last two races with ridiculous ease and only has to race back to either one of those efforts to ring the bell for three in a row. The distance today is a little longer for him, but that should not make any material difference. LESTER DOCTOR is figured to be nearest to SPATS when the numbers are hung: out. He ran a fair race his last out and only needs to race In the same manner tsday to get the place. ODD SETH is more or less partial to a muddy , track, but he can also travel over a fast strip. STAMPDALB— FABIAX— JURAL EARLY. STAMPDALE should be able to account for the Forty and Eight Purse, carded as the fifth. It is over, the mile and seventy yards distance and, with his last race as a tightener, we look for him to show to much better advantage today. FABIAN raced in his last out as if he were going to reach winning form before long. When fit, he is a mighty useful racing tool and. if in the mood today, think he will l»e the one to run to the place. JURAL EARLY turned in a couple of good races, then ran like a tramp in his last start. Basing on his best form, he should knock down the show money. JEO. GROOM— NEW HAMPSHIRE— RUNDARK. C.EO. C.ROOM seems to be in his best condition at the present, judging from his two last outs, which were wins. Todays company is no stiffer and, over the same distance of ground, we expect GEORGE to run his score to three in a row. Were NEW HAMPSHIRE in his last year form, we would concede him the race right now, but fortunately for the others, he is not. It may be that he hasnt become entirely acclimated to his surroundings yet, but whatever the reason, we think he will be the one to get the place here. RUNDARK scored in his last out and may prove dangerous if he runs in the same manner today. COYNE— YORICK— LEW POPE. The concluding race on the program should ! fall to COYNE. He lost his last out to j Island Fairy but can race in much better style than that race indicated. He is consistent, landing in the money in most all of his starts here and, if given a good ride, think he will win. The grey YORICK ran in his last out as if he may do better in his next appearance. If a capable rider can be found for him, we are of the opinion that he will show to much better advantage. Of the others. LEW POPE, which carries the silks of W. Phillips, seems to have the call. His last race was an improvement and, if he races as well today, should get the show money again. One Best Bet — SPATS, in the Fourth Race.
