ADAMS APPLE THE WINNER Victorious in the Two Thousand Guineas, First of Classic Races Run in England This Year. LONDON. England, April 27.— The first of the classic races of England was run today when the Two Thousand Guineas was decided at Newmarket. C. W. S. Whitburns Adams Apple, by Pommern — Mount Whistle, carried off the prize. Lord Curzons Call Boy was second, while Lord Derbys Sickle defeated Sir Victor Sassoons Hot Night for third place. There were twenty-three starters, and among the unplaced horses was the American sportsman Thomas Fortune Ryans Damon. Hot Night was the early pacemaker in the mile contest. He led the others for seven-eighths, where Call Boy took up the pace. Closing with a rush, Adams Apple was up in the last stride to beat Call Boy by a short head. The latter took second place from Sickle by half a length. Leach rode a great finish on the winner. Elliott had the mount on Call Boy, while Weston piloted Sickle. The weather was good, the track fast and the crowd large. Call Boy was the favorite, at 5 to 2. The winners price was 20 to 1, while Sickle was held at M to 1
