Third Place-Undercover Scores. NEW YORK, N. Y., Alay 10.— Afowlee, from the Rancocas Stable, turned the tables on Dr. T. AL Cassidys Indian Scout in the running of the Spring Handicap at Jamaica today. He also avenged the defeat of his stablemates Sweepster and Nassak by Polydor, the William Zeigler, Jr.s, sprinter. This all came about In the three-quarter Spring Handicap, a three-year-old race, worth ,700 to the winner. This was the feature of an interesting card that brought out a big crowd. Though summer-like weather was promised early in the day, it blew up cold at the track and was anything but comfortable. The track was fast, though not at its best. Indian Scout was an added starter in the Spring Handicap and, after the scratching of Subleyado, Brown Wisdom, Scots Grey and The Tartar, there were eight left to start. A long delay at the post rather added to the handicap of 126 pounds carried by Polydor and then when the barrier was released and Garner sent him out to set the pace, he indeed would have had to be a rare sprinter to be winner. Indian Scout and Finite were the ones to go after Polydor, while Laverne Fator, making his first appearance after a slight illness, was using better judgment when he rated Alowlee back of the leaders. Polydor held the lead turning into the stretch and both Finite and Indian Scout were close at hand, when Indian Scout bore out slightly, costing Finite some ground. Polydor had made a good turn into the stretch and was showing gameness after the use that had been made of his speed, but in that last eighth the pace told its tale and he tired ever so slightly. Indian Scout was alongside and had him headed, but Fator was charging up on the outside with Alowlee and the son of Lucullite was running straight and true, while Fator was riding in his most brilliant form. He continued to draw up stride by stride, until in the last stride he had earned the verdict from Indian Scout, with Polydor just a length back. The three of them were four lengths before Finite, while the others were following along, with David Bone best. HOTTER SADDLES WINNER. Joe Notter sent his first winner of the season to the post in the opening three-quarters dash when he saddled Lee . Rosenbergs Standard Bearer. It was for cheap ones, and the field was a big one. Collins was fortunate in having Standard Bearer away well in motion and he led virtually all the way. Reprisal was just as consistently second and finished in that position, while Padraig beat old Care Free for third money in the closing strides. Care Free was unfortunate at the start and then Chalmers made the fatal mistake of trying to make up all -he ground lost in an eighth of a mile. The old fellow circled around until he had reached third place at the head of the stretch, but it took so much out of him that he tired in the last sixteenth. Three-quarters, for three-year-old maiden fillies, was the second offering and it saw Darkness and Pretense, from the Rappa-hanoek Stable, finishing first and second over the Aliddleburg Stables Helenita, with the others trailing along after never cutting any serious figure in the race. Helenita was handled in different fashion in this running. On other occasions she has been rushed into a long lead only to quit. In this race she was restrained and rated in the early racing in the hope that she would finish out the distance. This resulted in the daughter of Thunderer being rated, though in front, with Darkness and Pretense closely following after her and the last named under stiff restraint. Garner saved ground with Helenita in the stretch, but the new tactics proved unavailing when in the final eighth the other fillies handily beat her home. In this race the silks of E. R. Bradleys Idle Hour Stock Farm Stable were shown for the first time at the meeting. They were carried by Banco Prime, but there was no time in the running that he raced into any prominence. The Long Island Handicap of a mile and a sixteenth attracted eight rather good platers and Airs. William Knapps Undercover proved best when he led home Edward Arlingtons consistent Scat, with James Butlers Star o Alorn saving third from Festival. AIcATEES RIDING HELPS. AIcAtee had the mount on Undercover and he played an important part in the victory. Getting his mount away well, he set the pace under a steady restraint, while Fine Champagne and Star o Alorn raced after him closely. Scat was in fourth place and the others in rather strung out order. Then after rounding from the back stretch, little Diehl drew his whip on Star o Alorn and he drove the Butler filly vigorously. AIcAtee, instead of racing with her, eased back slightly and she went into a lead of a couple of lengths. But Undercover was galloping strongly back of her and AIcAtee made no further move until the stretch was reached. There he shook up Undercover, sent him to the filly and then on by until he was home the winner by two lengths. In the meantime Scat was closing gamely under a drive and he too caught the Butler filly to beat her a length for second place. Willie Knapp saddled his second winner of the clay when he sent Dr. T. M. Cassidys Mart Alalone to the post for the five-eighths maiden two-year-old dash that was the fifth offering. This one led home Airs. Louise Viaus Wrench and Fatigue, from the B. B. Stable, was the one to reach third. Estelle Alarie and Mart Alalone were the ones to set the pace, but at the head of the stretch the Cassidy colt went into the lead to hold command to the end. Wrench had been racing forwardly all the way and out- finished Fatigue in the final eighth. Flaters to race a mile and seventy yards brought up the end of the program and at- tracted a field of nine cheap ones. This resulted in a good finish when J. P. Smiths Sun Forward got up to beat home The World, which had set the pace. Third went to Shasta Grafton.
